- Alphabet Makes Another Massive AI Funding Move
Alphabet is returning to Europe's debt market for the second time this year with a seven-part euro bond sale, with maturities from two to 19 years, to fund its AI infrastructure buildout. Initial pricing was around 60 basis points above mid-swaps for the shortest fixed-rate tranche and roughly 205 to 210 basis points for the 19-year notes. Barclays, BNP Paribas and Deutsche Bank are managing the deal, which is expected to price Monday. The article ties the sale to Alphabet's expected 2026 capital spending of up to $205 billion and negative third-quarter free cash flow, and notes it raised about 9 billion through a six-tranche euro sale in May. Microsoft also moved to raise around $25 billion in its first U.S. bond sale in more than nine years.
- Meta Is Reportedly Looking To Tap Cross-Border Dollar, Euro Bond Market In Capex Push
Meta Platforms is preparing a cross-border investment-grade bond offering and has enlisted Citigroup and Morgan Stanley to host investor calls to gauge market interest, according to Bloomberg. The proposed structure includes US dollar bonds split into five parts with maturities from 5 to 30 years, and euro notes across six tranches ranging from just over four years to slightly more than 38 years. The deal would mark Meta's debut euro bond and its first major debt transaction in six months, following a path set by peers such as Alphabet and Amazon in diversifying funding across currencies. Alongside debt, Meta has executed one of the largest equity financing efforts in corporate history, having priced $25 billion in common stock, secured $12.5 billion via preferred shares, and set up an at-the-market program targeting up to $60 billion in open-market sales. META stock has lost about 7% year-to-date.
- Euro gets much - needed reprieve as AI wobbles rock the dollar
The dollar was headed for its first weekly fall in five weeks, lifting the euro from a 17-month low to about $1.1210. AI stocks slumped this week and stress spread to credit markets, as investors worried data centre operators might not become profitable in time to pay their debts, driving a flight to U.S. Treasuries. The euro had dropped more than 3% against the dollar over the previous five weeks on concerns about France's debt pile and a winter energy squeeze. Traders now price a 72% chance the Fed holds rates this month, up from 53% a month earlier, ahead of a speech by Fed Chair Kevin Warsh.
- GOOGL Gains Premarket As Tech Selloff Eases: Alphabet Preps Second Euro Bond This Year
Alphabet rose 1% in premarket trading on Monday as tech stocks recovered from a brutal week and disappointing third-quarter results. Bloomberg reported the company plans its second euro bond sale this year to fund AI infrastructure, a seven-part deal with maturities of two to 19 years, with the 19-year notes offered at about 205 to 210 basis points over mid-swaps. Google Search & other revenue grew 12% to $63.3 billion, slowing from 17% in the prior quarter, while capital expenditure reached $51.36 billion and 2027 spending is expected to be higher than this year. Cloud unit sales doubled, but surging AI-related cash burn weighed on the results. Year to date, GOOGL is down 10.4%.
- META, AMZN, ORCL, GOOGL in focus: Big Tech bonds offer better opportunity than stocks, BofA says
BofA chief investment strategist Michael Hartnett says investment-grade bonds from mega-cap tech firms offer better value than their stocks. Borrowing costs have risen amid concern over heavy capital expenditures by hyperscalers such as Meta, Google, Amazon and Oracle to build generative AI infrastructure. Yields on investment-grade tech debt range from 6% to 8%, with Oracle above 8% and Meta and Amazon at 6.8% to 7.4%. Meta is raising $95 billion through stock offerings, which Hartnett says is negative for existing shareholders and suggests the era of large buybacks may be ending. Year to date, META is down 6%, GOOGL about 10%, AMZN up 3% and ORCL about 33%.
- Demand for AI intelligence is insatiable, but where’s the ROI?
A panel of experts says recent earnings show solid operations, but uncertainty remains around capital spending and valuations. They argue comparisons with the internet bubble are misplaced, since demand for AI remains very strong, and point to Anthropic's S-1 as evidence customers still pay a premium for its tokens. Google's ad business grew 12% but missed expectations. Another view holds that AI returns are not yet visible outside tech companies such as Eli Lilly and Walmart, so some investors are weighing waiting two years or moving into alternatives like bonds offering a risk-free return of about 6%. A panelist pushing back says AI is showing up in earnings through cost cutting, new product development, faster sales cycles and better supply chain management, though productivity is hard to measure.

- Justin Sun Accuses Trump-Backed World Liberty of Using UAE Ties to Escape Federal Court
Justin Sun's lawyers have asked a federal court in California to sanction World Liberty Financial over the timing of its disclosure that its ownership chain gives it UAE citizenship. Sun says the company first listed only Florida as its citizenship, then amended the filing to list 22 members with ties to Florida, Delaware, Puerto Rico and the UAE, and now argues the federal court lacks jurisdiction. Sun, who invested $45 million in WLFI tokens, argues the late disclosure was a tactic to move the case out of federal court and plans to refile in California state court once the motion is resolved. World Liberty counters that Sun shorted WLFI and drove down its price, in a dispute that began when Sun sued in April, alleging he was misled into investing and his tokens were unlawfully frozen.
- AST SpaceMobile Just Admitted It Won't Hit 45 Satellites This Year. Is the 10-Bagger Thesis Dead, or Just Delayed?
AST SpaceMobile announced a $1 billion convertible notes offering and, in the same filing, said its launch campaign targets approximately 45 BlueBird satellites in early 2027, pushing out a key timeline. The article says the raise highlights that the company is still loss-making and will need substantial further spending before profitability, while SpaceX's Starlink is already profitable. It argues AST's partners, including Verizon and AT&T, are likely to be patient with delays since they also face competition from SpaceX. Cited risks include costly satellite production, reliance on third-party rockets and the possibility of launch failures. The article concludes the stock is only appropriate for aggressive growth investors, and that the delay is unlikely to undermine the long-term investment thesis.
- What Did Reddit's Quarter Change For Its Stock?
Reddit (RDDT) shares fell 29.2% on October 30, 2026, the first session after its fiscal Q3 2026 report, while the S&P 500 lost 1.8%. Revenue of $895 million came in about 2% above analyst expectations, but the drop followed management's warning that daily users could fall by a low double-digit percentage in fiscal Q4 from a base of 130 million, as search referral traffic declined. Revenue growth slowed from 69.1% in fiscal Q1 2026 to 53.0% in fiscal Q3, and guidance of $1 billion to $1.03 billion (38% to 42% growth) was reported as below expectations. Operating margin reached 29.2% versus 23.7% a year earlier, and management said about 80% of monetization comes from logged-in app users. The article says daily users will be the key figure to watch when Reddit reports fiscal Q4 2026 results in February 2027.
- Tongguan Gold Group (SEHK:340) Stock Trades At A Premium After A 383% Three Year Run
Tongguan Gold Group's shares have risen about 4x over three years but fell back over the past year, raising the question of whether the current Hong Kong dollar price is supported by earnings. The stock trades at about 11.6x earnings, above the Metals and Mining sector average of about 8.5x and a peer group around 9.2x. A fair-value P/E model that blends growth, profitability, size and risk sits below the current multiple, which the article reads as the shares screening as overvalued on an earnings basis. The article questions whether the quality and durability of those profits justify paying more than both peers and the model-based benchmark for each unit of earnings.
