Alphabet and Microsoft present competing views on investment in AI.
- Stock market today: Dow rises, S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures fall as Alphabet stock sells off, AI jitters return
U.S. stock index futures diverged in premarket trading on Thursday as Alphabet's third-quarter earnings triggered a sell-off in its shares and AI concerns returned, weighing on tech-heavy indexes. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures (YM=F) rose 0.3%, while S&P 500 futures (ES=F) fell 0.4% and Nasdaq-100 futures (NQ=F) dropped 1.3%. Alphabet's sales fell short of expectations, and although Google's cloud growth reached 103%, worries about free cash flow and the return on AI investment weighed on the stock. The AI sell-off spread to Asian markets, with South Korea's Kospi (^KS11) declining, and the iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX), Nvidia, AMD and Micron also fell after hours. Investors are awaiting Amazon's results after the close and core PCE inflation data, expected to rise 3.1%, due a day after the Fed's rate decision.
- Wall Street diverges Tuesday , industrials advance , techs slip
U.S. stocks diverged on Tuesday, with industrials rallying strongly while tech shares slipped slightly, even as AI stocks firmed after recent sell-offs. Jake Behan of Direxion said the market had long tolerated higher rates thanks to AI-driven growth, but that relationship has begun to be tested, and upcoming hyperscaler reports will be the next major stress test. The S&P 500 closed at 7,712.75, up 22.02 points (0.29%), while the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 531.39 points (1.02%) to 52,497.42 and the NASDAQ Composite fell 6.07 points (0.02%) to 26,424.82. The U.S. dollar weakened against major currencies, with EUR-USD up 0.21% to 1.1236. In Asia, Japan's Nikkei 225 fell 1.30% and South Korea's KOSPI dropped 3.73%, while Indonesia's IDX Composite surged 5.65%.

- US futures mostly higher with the Fed Warsh touting AI
Wall Street closed lower Friday as a broad tech sell-off capped the market's worst week since late June. The S&P 500 fell 1.1% and about 2% for the week, erasing last week's record-setting gains, while the Nasdaq sank 2.1% for its first weekly loss in five weeks and the Dow closed 0.3% lower. Chipmakers led the declines, with Micron down 5.6%, AMD 6%, Broadcom 4.5% and Intel 5.8%, as investors worried about how long the AI spending frenzy will last. Brent crude jumped 3.7% to $109.86 a barrel with no US-Iran deal to end the war, while the 10-year Treasury yield eased to 5.09%. Traders put the odds of a Fed rate hike in December at 74.3%, up from 50.2% a month ago.

- Is AbbVie a Buy After Its Latest Earnings Report?
AbbVie reported third-quarter revenue of $17.4 billion, up 10.3% year over year, and adjusted EPS of $3.82, beating the midpoint of its guidance by about $0.07. Excluding costs tied to acquiring experimental drugs, adjusted EPS rose about 17%, from $3.36 to $3.93. Skyrizi and Rinvoq grew 22.7% and 23.9% and together made up 48.7% of revenue, while Humira sales fell to $683 million from $993 million. The company modestly raised full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $13.95 to $13.99 and increased its quarterly dividend 5.2% to $1.82, starting in February. The author remains bullish on AbbVie's long-term prospects but says its current valuation makes the 2027 guidance, due with fourth-quarter results, especially important.
- If a Bear Market Is Coming, History Says These Stocks Could Be the Smartest to Own
The article argues that bear markets are a normal part of investing and that preparing before a downturn is key. It highlights Johnson & Johnson, Medtronic, Coca-Cola and Procter & Gamble as stocks to consider because they operate in economically resilient industries and have long dividend records. Yields cited are about 2% for J&J, 3% for Medtronic, 2.2% for Coca-Cola and 2.7% for P&G, with Coca-Cola's organic sales up 6% in Q2 2026 and P&G's up 4% in fiscal Q1 2027. A chart in the article shows that during the Great Recession, consumer staples and healthcare fell less than the broader market and recovered more strongly afterward. The article notes that past performance does not guarantee future results.
- Prediction: This Under-the-Radar AI Stock Could Have a Big 2030 Ahead
Marvell Technology is described as one of the purest ways to invest in the buildout of AI data centers. Its Data Center segment brought in $2.1715 billion last quarter, up 46% and making up 79% of revenue; shares are up 194.58% year to date but 24.2% below their 52-week high of $329.73. The article flags concerns including non-GAAP gross margin guidance of 57.5% to 58.5% for Q3, down from 58.9% in Q2, fiscal 2027 operating expenses of about $2.55 billion, reliance on a small group of hyperscalers, and a Google warrant that could dilute shareholders by up to 7%. The Wall Street consensus target of $341.44 implies 36.6% upside, while the article's model base case is $284.80; reaching $500 by 2030 would require a 100.1% gain and a forward P/E of 82x.
- Two Fed Officials Just Called for More Rate Hikes, Starting Soon
Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem said two days after the FOMC held rates that the hiking cycle is not over. Logan said the committee needs at least two more 25-basis-point increases before it should pause to examine developments, while Musalem said additional firming will be necessary, and soon. PCE inflation was 3.6% year over year in September, core PCE was 3.1%, and real GDP grew at a 3.4% annual rate in the third quarter. CME FedWatch put the odds of a December quarter-point hike at about 76%, and the two-year Treasury yield fell to 4.56% from 4.61%. The article says the risk for stocks lies in the gap between the one hike markets have priced in and the at least two Logan is calling for.
- Bitcoin turns 18: Has the original rebel grown up?
Bitcoin marks 18 years since Satoshi Nakamoto posted its whitepaper, as the cryptocurrency faces the $6.3 billion Binance hack, quantum computing concerns, AI-driven cyber threats and questions over its long-term security. The article recounts its history: the genesis block was mined on Jan. 3, 2009; on May 22, 2010, developer Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas, which the article says would be worth $780 million at today's prices; and Mt. Gox lost around 850,000 BTC in February 2014. Bitcoin rose from below $1,000 at the start of 2017 to almost $20,000 by December that year, then reached almost $69,000 by November 2021. The author asks whether Bitcoin, now old enough to vote in US midterm elections, is ready for adulthood.
- Binance, crypto and hacks: What to know about keeping coin safe as cyber criminals advance
Binance, the world's largest crypto exchange, was recently hacked with an estimated impact of $6.3 billion, and about $3 billion of the stolen assets has been frozen so far. The exchange pledged to cover all losses from company funds, while TRM Labs and Chainalysis have linked the attack to North Korea, though neither the U.S. government nor Binance has publicly confirmed the source. Experts note that crypto has no legal protection equivalent to FDIC insurance, so repayment depends on the exchange's decision, as when Coinbase reimbursed customers tricked into sending funds after a data-theft incident. When individual accounts are compromised, customers usually bear the losses, and confirmed crypto transactions are generally irreversible. Offline storage can reduce risk, but the Binance case shows that withdrawal-approval systems are also vulnerable, similar to Bybit's $1.5 billion theft last year.
