- AI Bond Funding Might Change The Case For Investing In Microsoft (MSFT)
Microsoft has expanded AI partnerships and deployments, including a cloud and data overhaul on Azure for Estée Lauder and broad Copilot rollouts. It has also completed several bond tranches, part of a planned US$25b investment-grade offering to fund general corporate needs, including AI infrastructure. Management plans roughly US$175b to US$190b of 2026 capex on chips and data centers. The analysts' base case projects revenue growth of about 20.2% a year over the next three years and earnings rising from US$142.6b today to US$221.5b by 2029, with a consensus price target of US$628.81 against a share price of US$521.97. A bearish view sees revenue of about US$511.4b and earnings of US$206.3b by 2029.
- INTC, AMZN, GOOGL Stocks Rise Overnight After Brutal Week: Dan Niles Sees AI Risks Showing Up In Big Tech Earnings
Tech stocks edged higher late Sunday after a difficult week, when Intel (INTC), Alphabet (GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN) and SanDisk (SNDK) fell sharply on their earnings reports. Investor Dan Niles said Big Tech results clearly reflected AI-related risks, with earnings bringing more bad news than good for tech investors. The Nasdaq Composite fell 1.5% over the week, while GOOGL lost 12.6%, its worst weekly move since 2008. Alphabet missed Search revenue expectations for a second straight quarter, raising AI disintermediation fears, even though search queries hit a five-year high. INTC dropped 28.6% on Friday after its third-quarter report, and Niles said volatility could persist while still seeing opportunities in Big Tech.
- Elon Musk Warns Over 200 AI Companies Face Bankruptcy Risk: Investors Should Be Wary
Billionaire Elon Musk agreed with venture investor Chamath Palihapitiya that many AI computing systems may underperform or go unused, and said more than 200 neocloud companies, which provide cloud computing built for AI workloads, could face bankruptcies or mergers. He expects only a few to survive, particularly those relying almost entirely on revenue from AI data centers, and said debt markets have nearly closed to firms without significant revenue outside that business. If this scenario unfolds, the impact could spread across the AI supply chain and the US stock market, where the 10 largest listed companies account for about 40% of the S&P 500's market capitalisation. Citing Reuters, the October tech selloff could erase nearly $2,600 billion from the Nasdaq 100's market value.
- Asian stocks mixed as tech sector struggles to rebound from selloff
- Stock futures open a monster week after a $5 trillion AI wipeout
US stock futures edged higher Sunday evening ahead of a week packed with Apple earnings, the midterm elections and oil above $100. The biggest AI and chip stocks have lost about $5 trillion in value since Oct. 6, while about 625 other large US stocks added roughly $1.3 trillion. Last week the S&P 500 slipped about 0.6%, yet 9 of its 11 sectors still rose about 1% or more. One view holds the tech selloff could get much worse, while another points to history showing the S&P 500 has risen every time from the end of a midterm October through the following June since 1950. Apple and Palantir report Monday, while WTI crude settled Friday above $104 a barrel as the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively shut.

- Alphabet Missed Its Q3 Estimates, and I Couldn't Care Less
Alphabet's Q3 revenue rose 25% to $127.6 billion, but EPS fell 26% to $2.12 from $2.87, both missing consensus estimates of $128.2 billion and $3.02. Free cash flow turned negative at about $9.1 billion as capital expenditures rose to $51.4 billion from $44.9 billion in Q2, largely for AI infrastructure. Search advertising grew 12% to $63.5 billion, below the $64.9 billion expected and slowing from nearly 17% in Q2, while Google Cloud revenue soared more than 100% to $30.7 billion with operating income of $11.1 billion. The author argues the picture needs context: net income included an $8.2 billion unrealized loss on Alphabet's SpaceX stake, operating income rose 30% to $40.6 billion, and cloud backlog grew to $567.7 billion from $519.5 billion at mid-year, mostly AI-related. The author says capex is in line with the $195–205 billion full-year budget and that the results were, on balance, more good than bad.
- Nvidia, Costco and 10 More Issuers Opt Out of ICE and OKX’s Tokenized Stock Venue
Nvidia, Costco, Nike and nine other public companies have objected to having their shares traded on the tokenized stock venue run by ICE and OKX, bringing the total number of objecting issuers to 50. The revised notice dated Oct. 30 adds 12 names compared with the Oct. 28 list of 38, following earlier objections from Microsoft, Alphabet, JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs. The notice gives no reasons for the objections and no start date for trading. Under the SEC exemptive order the venue relies on, it cannot list a stock tokenized by an unaffiliated third party once that issuer files a timely objection. The venue is 50% owned by ICE and 50% by an OKX affiliate, is not registered with the SEC, and has no policies for MEV; co-chair Andrew Cuomo expects more companies to 'wait and see'.
- Boris Vujčić: Integrated, open and resilient: Europe’s strengths in a fragmenting world
In a speech at the Central Bank of Ireland's Financial System Conference in Dublin, ECB Vice-President Boris Vujčić argued that Europe should keep its openness by building resilience rather than retreating from the world. He said geopolitical shocks are becoming more frequent and can affect growth, inflation and financial stability, with supply factors playing a role in major shocks in 2020, 2022 and 2026. He noted that diversifying energy supplies alone could not protect Europe, since how well economies absorb shocks matters as much as their exposure. The EU imports 57% of its energy, and in 2022 electricity prices for firms rose far more and stayed high longer in Italy than in Spain, partly because Spain generates more power from renewables. He added that Europe's energy supply is already more resilient than in 2022.
- 2 Words From Fed Chair Kevin Warsh Are Echoing Through Wall Street and Unnerving Investors
Fed Chair Kevin Warsh and the FOMC kept interest rates unchanged at 3.75%-4.00% at the October meeting, as inflation has run above the 2% target for 67 months. Warsh noted progress since the quarter-point hike in September but repeated the goal of a 'timely return' of inflation to 2%, which the author reads as a sign that more aggressive tightening could follow. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, there is a 75% chance of a quarter-point hike at the Dec. 9 meeting and a 46% probability of at least 75 basis points of hikes by mid-September 2027. The author argues that such tightening could hurt a stock market already at a historically high valuation, with the S&P 500's Shiller P/E topping 40 for only the third time in 156 years. Slower AI infrastructure spending from higher borrowing costs could also quickly weigh on growth.
- China and India Failed, Vietnam Succeeded in Persuading the American Giant to Build the World’s Largest Factory: What Do Experts Say?
Intel began building its chip assembly and test plant in Ho Chi Minh City in 2006 and inaugurated it in 2010; after 20 years it is the largest such facility in Intel's global network, with committed investment of USD 4.1 billion. According to Ms. Phạm Chi Lan, Intel decided to invest in March 2006, about 6 months before Vietnam joined the WTO, after weighing Vietnam against China, India and Thailand. Intel initially faced a severe talent shortage: while it needed 2,000 engineers, 7 leading universities in HCMC could supply fewer than 100 fully qualified candidates, yet the company had enough staff to operate within just over one year. Although Vietnam was weaker than all three rivals at the time, Intel valued its location (access to markets within about 1,000 km) and its FTA network covering more than 60 countries. A Fulbright School report says Intel's site selection went beyond labor costs and tax incentives.
- Apple earnings, Binance hack, midterm elections - What’s moving markets
Apple reports earnings on Monday, its first under new CEO John Ternus, with investors watching the holiday-quarter outlook, AI strategy and whether higher memory-chip costs squeeze profit. Apple reclaimed the title of world's most valuable publicly traded company on Friday, with a market capitalization of $5.03 trillion, while Nvidia fell to $4.93 trillion. Binance customers withdrew $3.64 billion, about 2.1% of the exchange's assets, after a security breach linked to North Korea that reportedly saw $6.3 billion stolen last week, and the exchange said withdrawals are stabilising. Bitcoin rebounded above $78,000 after touching a six-week low on Friday, while U.S. stock futures pointed higher. Oil fell more than 3% as hopes grew for diplomacy to end the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran, with Brent for January delivery down 3.3% to $109.70 a barrel.
