DoorDash (DASH) shares are down 33.8% over the past twelve months against a 15.3% gain for the S&P 500, and sit 36.7% below their highest close of the past year. The stock trades at 5.0 times twelve-month sales, about half the 9.7 times recorded a year earlier, though the June-quarter operating margin fell to 3.5% from 5.0%. At the October 26 close it traded at 87.0 times earnings and 25.9 times operating cash flow, which the article says makes it look far more expensive on profit than on cash. Analysts expect third-quarter 2026 revenue of $4.66 billion, about 35% higher than a year earlier, and management guided adjusted EBITDA of $0.95 billion to $1.1 billion. The article says buying before the November report would not be too early if revenue meets forecasts and adjusted EBITDA falls within or above guidance, but would be early if either metric falls short.

- Uber (UBER) vs. DoorDash (DASH): Is Faster Growth Worth Paying More For?
Over the past six months, UBER returned -1% and DASH returned 22%, as of October 12. Uber says customers who use both ride-hailing and Uber Eats grow 1.5x faster than those who use only one service, while DoorDash is expanding into grocery, retail, advertising and merchant services. In Q2 2026, DoorDash orders rose 27% to 970 million and revenue rose 36% to $4.5 billion, or 24% excluding the Deliveroo acquisition. Uber posted gross bookings above $58 billion and trailing 12-month free cash flow above $10 billion. At 15.92x forward earnings for Uber versus 38.02x for DoorDash, the article notes that Uber's trailing P/E of 15.22x is affected by a roughly $1.6 billion pre-tax revaluation gain, and says Uber has the easier valuation case, while DoorDash must still prove its newer categories can become profitable.

- Anthropic's First-Half Revenue Rose 1,300%. Should You Buy the Stock When It Starts Trading?
Anthropic publicly filed for its IPO, planning to list on Nasdaq as 'ANT', with first-half 2026 sales of $16.3 billion, up 1,300% from $1.2 billion a year earlier. The filing leaves the price range, share count and third-quarter revenue blank, while media reports say the company is seeking a $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion valuation, against the $965 billion valuation at its $65 billion raise in May. Second-quarter operating income was $974 million, an 8% margin and the only profitable quarter shown, although the first-half net loss of $80.7 billion included a $72.4 billion non-cash charge tied to the rising valuation. The author sees strong growth but argues that a $1.5–2 trillion valuation, about 43 to 57 times sales, already assumes years of expansion, and that a price nearer the May valuation would make the stock worth a look.
- When Should You Buy D-Wave Quantum Stock?
D-Wave Quantum (QBTS) shares have fallen 64.8% over the past twelve months, while the S&P 500 returned 16.5%. The company is valued at about $4.5 billion against $12.4 million of sales over the last four quarters, or 361 times sales, compared with 3.1 times for the S&P 500 and 199 times in mid-2025. Sales fell 44.2% from a year earlier, and the operating loss widened to $171 million from $78.7 million. System sales drove most of fiscal 2025 revenue ($16.2 million of $24.6 million), and management prices its systems at $20 million to $40 million. Analysts expect about $4.4 million in September-quarter revenue, while management had guided only to a modest rise from $3.1 million in the June quarter. The $40.7 million backlog includes $23.2 million expected to become revenue within 12 months, and the November report is presented as the key test.
- Should 60K Microsoft workers take the buyout and run? How to know when you should nab a package, or turn it down
On October 26, Microsoft offered voluntary buyouts to some employees, letting them choose to leave in exchange for a payment and support for their next career steps. The offer covers up to 60,000 of about 223,000 employees, a scope that would cut as much as 25% of the company's staff across teams. Microsoft declined to comment and has had several layoffs this year, including 4,800 jobs cut in July 2026. Malik S. Lee of Felton & Peel Wealth Management says the two main factors are an employee's financial situation and the future of their job, including how much they have in reserves and whether a spouse or partner can help cover expenses.
- Should You Buy Adobe Stock For Its Cash?
Adobe shares have fallen 55.1% since their December 6, 2024 high, yet free cash flow over the last four quarters reached $10.6 billion, or 10.8% of market value at the October 29 close, versus 4.2% for the median S&P 500 company. Subscription revenue rose 12.0% over twelve months, with an operating margin of 35.7% against 18.5% for the S&P 500. At August 28, 2026, Adobe held $5.64 billion in cash and short-term investments against $6.76 billion owed. Investors may worry that AI will reshape software, and shares fell 6.7% on September 4 after the company named Anil Chakravarthy as CEO starting December 1; annual recurring revenue reached $27.5 billion, up 11.2%. Adobe's free creative apps draw more than 100 million monthly users, and it finalized the $340 million acquisition of Topaz Labs in late September.

- Prologis CEO says warehouse demands are shifting fast. Here's how he's keeping up
A Prologis survey of more than 1,800 business leaders in the US, UK, Germany, India, China and Mexico found that 91% say retailers and logistics providers urgently need more decentralized fulfillment networks. The share of companies planning to keep their existing global footprint fell 14 percentage points from a year earlier to 36%, as speed now ranks above price in gaining a competitive edge. Power reliability ranks first in logistics location decisions, and CEO Dan Letter said Prologis has built an energy business with over 1.4 gigawatts of solar and storage power. Letter said the company focuses on consumption centers and has sold over 200 million feet of its 1.3 billion feet portfolio because customers no longer wanted it. Around three-quarters of surveyed companies plan big investments in AI demand forecasting and inventory replenishment.
- Post-election gridlock might be a bullish sign for Apple, memory prices
Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi sees post-midterm moves in the AI sector as a positive signal for Apple, arguing that its large cash flow could make it a defensive play. His bigger point is that a slowdown in hyperscaler data center builds, driven by new leaders in key AI states, could eventually ease memory chip prices, though he said this would not affect Apple's next quarter. Apple's new CEO John Turris said memory pricing is unprecedented and expects even higher memory costs in the December quarter, partly offset by price increases on Mac, iPad and iPhone. Sozzi says that if memory costs ease while Apple keeps its higher product prices, this could be a major win for Apple over the next 12 to 18 months. He stresses that this is a long-term view and that memory costs will not fall overnight.

- AMD Just Doubled Its Own Long-Term Growth Target for 2027
AMD CEO Lisa Su said on the third-quarter earnings call that she expects 2027 revenue to grow more than 80%, more than twice AMD's long-term financial model, though that compares a one-year target with a multi-year model. Data center is expected to exceed 80% of 2027 revenue, up from 64% in the third quarter, when revenue reached $13.377 billion, and fourth-quarter revenue is guided to about $17.0 billion, plus or minus 3%. GAAP EPS was $1.46 and non-GAAP EPS $2.09, but a customer warrant charge will dilute shareholders once vesting and exercise conditions are met. Free cash flow fell to $554M while inventory rose to $11.463B, and Su expects PC unit shipments to decline by a double-digit percentage in 2027. Shares closed at $483.90 on November 3, up 3.65% but down 23.66% in the month before the report, and the next tests are NVIDIA's November 17 report and AMD's fourth-quarter results.
- Navitas Soars 6% as AI Infrastructure Pivot Delivers Revenue Beat: “Breaking the Power Wall”
Navitas Semiconductor (NVTS) shares rose 6% after third-quarter revenue of $14.0 million beat the $13.17 million consensus, and fourth-quarter guidance of $16.0 million at the midpoint topped the $15.12 million estimate. The company expects AI infrastructure to exceed 40% of fourth-quarter sales as mobile chips, most of last year's revenue, nearly disappear by year-end. It now guides 2026 revenue to $49.1 million, above the $47.7 million consensus, and expects AI infrastructure revenue to grow about 3x in 2027. The article notes Navitas trades at 34x forward sales, above its three-year average of 31x, so part of the 2027 growth is already reflected in the share price. NVIDIA's November 17 report will be the next read on 800-volt timing.
