Amazon (AMZN) is partnering with Uber Eats (UBER) so Prime members can order from restaurants via Amazon.com and the Amazon app, as third-party delivery competition intensifies. Prime members ordering this way get free delivery on orders of $25 or more, and customers receive $20 off their first two Uber Eats orders of $25 or more within the first 14 days. Uber One costs $9.99 a month or $96 a year, while Amazon Prime costs $140 a year. Amazon has been gaining share in grocery delivery, especially same-day and one-hour delivery, and added more than 6,000 grocery items over the past six months. Walmart is a key rival with a Walmart+ and Sam's Club Plus bundle priced at $120 a year plus tax, and DoorDash plans to acquire Instacart in a $17 billion deal.

- What Could Go Wrong At UPS From Here?
UPS shares have fallen 14.8% over the past three months, while the S&P 500 gained 3.8%, after the company completed an 18-month plan to scale back Amazon delivery work and focus on more profitable customers. The article argues FedEx and Amazon may compete for the same accounts, and UPS has signed a deal with TikTok Shop to process returns that need no box or label. The U.S. package business brought in $59.5 billion in fiscal 2025, or 67% of revenue. In the second quarter of 2026, U.S. daily packages fell 3.3%, but U.S. revenue rose 6% as revenue per package increased 9.3%. UPS forecasts U.S. daily volume to fall by a mid-single-digit percentage in the third quarter, with revenue roughly flat, and trades at 17.8 times earnings versus 21.9 for the S&P 500.

- 1 Number That Should Concern Every Amazon Investor
Amazon's third-quarter revenue rose 12% year over year and operating income rose 61%, driven largely by AWS, whose sales grew nearly 40% to $46 billion, its fastest pace in almost five years. Yet online store sales rose only 2% and third-party sales 9%, a marked slowdown; together, online and third-party sales were $115 billion of the $201.9 billion total. The article notes Amazon holds 40.5% of U.S. e-commerce according to Statista, and it keeps expanding ultrafast delivery and grocery offerings. Walmart's global sales rose 23% in the fiscal second quarter ended July 31, with U.S. sales up 24%, and its U.S. e-commerce share climbed from 6.7% to 9.2%. The author argues investors should not overlook e-commerce even as Amazon keeps investing heavily in AI.

- Voters Just Made Microsoft's Data Centers More Valuable, a Wall Street Veteran Says
Microsoft closed at a record $555.80 on Nov. 4, up 6.68% and adding about $259 billion in market value, after midterm results in which voters rejected data center projects in all but one of 41 local measures. Investors expect limits on new construction to make existing capacity scarcer and more valuable, though Art Hogan of B. Riley notes that a slower build-out also means slower capital spending. In Texas, Democrat Gina Hinojosa defeated Governor Greg Abbott after calling for a halt to new data center approvals, and Goldman Sachs estimated that states likely to tighten rules account for about 45% of planned U.S. capacity. Microsoft reported $45.2 billion in capital expenditures and $18.6 billion in cash flow, unlike rival cloud giants that have turned cash-flow negative. The article warns that if the limits stick, slower spending could slow Azure's 48% growth.
- Banks are turning cautious on lending, according to the Fed. What it means for the economy
A new Federal Reserve survey, published Nov. 2, shows U.S. banks tightening lending standards in the third quarter, particularly for smaller businesses, riskier households and commercial property. The survey covered 61 domestic banks and 18 U.S. branches of foreign lenders. Banks tightened standards on premiums charged on riskier loans for firms of all sizes, as well as on nonbank financial firms such as private equity funds. For households, mortgage standards were broadly unchanged, while tighter rules for subprime loans contrasted with some easing for jumbo mortgages. The 10-year Treasury yield hit an intraday high of 5.349% on Oct. 5, its highest since April 2002, and a separate Fed survey found the share of families behind on loan payments reached almost 20% at the end of 2025, up from about 12% in 2022.
- Apple Stock Is Up 22%, but 1 Slowing Business Could Test That Valuation
Apple stock is up about 22% this year through Nov. 3, roughly double the S&P 500's 11% gain, pushing its valuation to about 38 times earnings. Services, the high-margin business that has helped justify that premium, grew 10% year over year in the fiscal fourth quarter, down from about 12%, and management expects 8% to 9% in fiscal 2027 Q1, citing licensing headwinds and currency shifts. Services carried a 76% gross margin and made up 40% of gross profit. Total revenue rose 15% in fiscal 2026 to a record $479 billion, and Apple expects the holiday quarter to be its best for revenue ever. If services growth falls short of the 8% to 9% forecast, the article argues the premium valuation could be harder to justify.
- Nvidia Just Dipped Below $200 for the First Time Since August
Nvidia closed at $200.13 after an intraday low of $199.68, its first trade below $200 since August 3, even as the S&P 500 gained 1.58%. The stock fell 3.17% as Big Tech rallied on Democrats' midterm wins, with investors seeing possible limits on new data center construction as a risk to chip demand. Apple's $5.10 trillion market value passed Nvidia's, which had been the world's largest company a day earlier. The consensus price target of $327.14 implies about 63.5% upside, and Nvidia guided third-quarter revenue to $108.0 billion, plus or minus 2%, with results due November 17. The shares remain about 16.3% below their October 6 record close of $239.24.
- AI data centers have a bigger problem than water
Host Ejaaz Ahamadeen argues that concerns about AI data centers' water use are overstated, noting that facilities now recycle the same water and that the author of an earlier viral claim later corrected herself. Citing a SemiAnalysis review, he says one or two In-N-Out restaurants use more water than Elon Musk's Colossus 2, one of the largest AI data centers. He says electricity demand is the more valid concern and points to Microsoft and, he believes, Meta pledging to cover and subsidize local electricity bills if they rise. He predicts the hyperscalers will simply pay those costs, though he says he will believe the pledges when he sees them.
- Sam Altman Says It's 'Fucking Annoying' His RAM Comments Were Taken Out of Context
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said it was 'fucking annoying' that his comments about computer memory were taken out of context after Elon Musk mocked them. Altman had said it was 'quite terrible' for the world's limited DRAM supply to sit in home computers used 5% of the time, and he said he has long argued for more memory production. He briefly renamed his X account 'Ram Altman' in response to users' jokes. The remarks come amid a global memory shortage driven by AI data center demand, with contract prices for 16GB DDR5 chips reportedly rising from $8.70 in October 2025 to $48 in September 2026, an increase of more than 550%.
