Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust is buying 10 shares of GE Vernova (GEV) at about 818 USD, lifting its weighting to about 2.15% from 1.9%, its first data center-related purchase since a Micron buy five weeks ago. The trust is buying into a Thursday sell-off driven by investor concern over how to fund the data center buildout, as cash flows are used up and debt financing grows less attractive, rather than weaker AI demand. GE Vernova was the third-worst S&P 500 performer that day and trades about 12% below its Aug. 24 level, when the trust downgraded it to a 2 amid caution on AI stocks; it has now been upgraded to a 1 to play for a bounce.

- Musk: AI’s Hard Part Is “Scaling Power”: 3 Stocks Uniquely Suited to Win This New Bottleneck Trade
Microsoft said it will scale its Maia chips to multi-gigawatt deployments starting next calendar year, and Elon Musk said scaling power is the hard part of AI. The article argues power is an input that chip and app companies cannot copy quickly, which favors Vistra (VST), Constellation Energy (CEG) and GE Vernova (GEV). Vistra has lost nearly a fifth of its value over the past year even though its adjusted EBITDA rose to $5.91 billion, while Constellation's normalized EPS is expected to reach $13.29 in fiscal 2027. GE Vernova's revenue is expected to reach $60.7 billion by fiscal 2028, and Jefferies has a $298 price target on Vistra. The article warns that all three stocks could move with the mood around AI, regardless of their results.
- NVIDIA Corp.’s (NVDA): Surging AI Demand Across End-Markets Powers Standout Results
Calamos Global Equity Fund's Q3 2026 investor letter says the fund returned 16.57% year-to-date, outperforming the MSCI World Index and the Morningstar Global Large-Stock Growth category, but fell 2.87% in the third quarter, mainly due to weakness in information technology and industrials. Strength in utilities and materials helped offset some of that drag, and the fund views the rotation in AI leadership as a healthy pause with the broader AI buildout still in early stages. The letter highlights NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA), which closed at $216.47 on October 20, 2026, down 4.01% over the past month and up 20.07% over the past year, with a $5.22 trillion market cap and a 52-week range of $164.27 to $243.37. The article notes 285 hedge fund portfolios held NVDA at the end of Q2, up from 275 the previous quarter.
- Billionaires Are Selling These 6 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stocks. Should You Follow?
In Q2, billionaires or their funds sold six Magnificent Seven stocks: Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), Alphabet (GOOG/GOOGL), Meta Platforms (META) and Tesla (TSLA). The author advises retail investors not to simply copy billionaires, since hedge funds trade on shorter horizons and their trades are often disclosed only months later. Investors are wary of AI spending, as hyperscalers commit hundreds of billions of dollars to infrastructure and some companies are generating negative free cash flow. He suggests evaluating each company individually, favouring Amazon, whose planned $220 billion of capital expenditure is offset by 37% AWS revenue growth, and Apple, which has not invested heavily in data centers. He would avoid Tesla, whose valuation of nearly 215 times forward earnings already assumes major success in its robotaxi and humanoid robot businesses.
- Cathie Wood's ARK Scoops Up Over 32,000 Meta Shares In 2 Days — Wall Street’s Split Over AI Spending
ARK Invest led by Cathie Wood bought 32,311 Meta Platforms (META) shares over two sessions, following Meta's October 12 launch of the Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full AI models, while analysts remain divided on the cost of AI spending. Oppenheimer forecasts a cumulative free cash flow deficit of $135 billion through 2028 and 2027–2028 EPS about 10% below Street estimates, while Goldman Sachs lowered its target warning AI investment could raise 2027 operating expenses. Meta's second-quarter revenue rose 28% to $60.8 billion, but free cash flow fell to $784 million, and the company expects 2026 capital expenditures of $130–145 billion. Meta reports third-quarter earnings after the market closes on October 21.
- Amazon.com (AMZN) Holds Compelling Risk/Reward and Multiple Ways to Win in AI
Patient Capital Management's Q3 2026 letter names Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) as a leading contributor to the fund's performance and one of the most attractive opportunities in the market, alongside Google and Meta, citing 2027 P/E multiples of 21-24x and operating income growth north of 20%. Amazon closed at $259.53 on October 12, 2026, up 4.47% over the past month and 12.44% over the past year, with a $2.8 trillion market cap and a 52-week range of $196.00 to $287.20. The fund says these Mag 7 holdings lagged the market this year after previously being top performers, but have advantages in data, capital, technology and culture for an AI-dominated future. It argues Amazon has clearly demonstrated strong returns on its AI investments and sees excellent risk-reward and numerous ways to win.
- What Makes Meta Platforms (META) an Attractive Opportunity?
Patient Capital Management's Q3 2026 letter lists Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) among its main contributors for the quarter, alongside Precigen and crypto-related holdings. The fund says it added to these positions on weakness earlier this year and initiated a Meta option position in Q3 before the stock rebounded. It notes Meta's launch of its Muse agents led the market to revise its expectations for returns from AI investments. Meta closed at $742.96 on October 12, 2026, with a $1.89 trillion market cap, a roughly 12.55% gain year to date, and a 52-week range of $520.26 to $779.82. The fund remains optimistic and sees Google, Meta and Amazon as attractive at 2027 P/E multiples of 21-24x with operating income growth north of 20%.

- Why Isn't IBM's Stock Bouncing Back After Strong Earnings Results?
IBM shares fell about 25% in July, their worst day in 115 years, after the company said customers had shifted spending to memory and storage products and delayed major contracts. The third-quarter report on October 21 showed revenue up 5% to $17.1 billion, operating earnings per share up 11% to $2.95, and software growth of 9% at constant currency. The author estimates organic software growth was closer to 4% after excluding the roughly $11 billion Confluent acquisition, and that meeting the roughly $32 billion full-year software target implies fourth-quarter software growth of about 4%. Debt rose to $63.8 billion after $11.4 billion of acquisitions this year, though the dividend appears well covered by free cash flow. The author still sees IBM as a long-term holding for its enterprise AI position and customer base, despite the market's muted reaction.
- IBM Is America’s Worst Big Tech Company
The article argues that IBM, which CEO Arvind Krishna credits with disciplined execution and transformative AI, has missed most major tech shifts over the past fifty years. Quarterly revenue rose 5% to $17.1 billion and net income reached $2.2 billion, up from $1.7 billion a year earlier. The author compares these figures with Nvidia's $60 billion net income last quarter and Microsoft's $90 billion revenue in its most recent quarter. IBM's market cap is $237 billion versus Microsoft's $4 trillion, and the company, the fourth-largest in America in 1993, ranked 66th on the Fortune 500 last year.
- Tesla's Profit Drops 43% as Musk Starts Building Robots and Plans to Sell Driverless Cabs
Tesla's third-quarter net income fell 43% to $787 million from a year earlier, as revenue held flat at $28.05 billion, operating profit dropped 56% to $718 million, and deliveries fell about 2%. Research spending rose 69% to $2.76 billion and capital expenditures more than doubled to $4.73 billion, aimed at humanoid robots and driverless taxis. Tesla has begun producing Optimus robots in Fremont, California, where Musk targets 20,000 a week but says that will take at least a year, with outside deliveries around the end of 2027. Tesla aims to get Cybercabs to customers by the end of 2026, though every one built so far goes to its own robotaxi fleet, no buyer or price has been named, and a federal safety audit is open. Musk also said the Tesla and SpaceX boards have formed committees to study a possible combination, but no terms have been agreed.

- Why Micron Stock Is Falling Hard Today
Shares of Micron Technology (MU) fell about 5.2% by 1:33 p.m. ET as investors worried AI spending could slow. Concerns grew after Nvidia's CEO said capital is scarce for further growth in the AI cloud market, and Meta's shares slid despite beating estimates because it plans $135 billion to $145 billion in capital expenditures this year. Since Micron supplies memory and storage for AI data centers, fears of overspending weighed on its stock. Economic pressure added to the sell-off: the Federal Reserve recently raised rates and hinted at more, oil prices rose on the U.S. war with Iran, and inflation was reported rising faster than expected.
- Taiwan Semiconductor and ASML Are Incredible, but 1 of These Monopoly Chip Stocks Is Far Safer.
The article argues that Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) and ASML are both near-monopolies, but Taiwan Semiconductor is the safer investment. ASML is the only maker of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machines, while Taiwan Semiconductor accounted for about 72.5% of chip fabrication revenue in Q2, a scale no rival matches. The author warns that ASML's business depends on chipmakers expanding capacity for the AI build-out, which may slow once that wave ends. ASML also trades at a sizable premium to Taiwan Semiconductor on both 2026 and 2027 earnings estimates.
