- Apple doubled the price of its TV streaming box from $150 to $300, and even the company's hardcore fans are furious
The new Apple TV 4K costs $299, a steep jump from the 2022 model that started at $129, and some longtime owners are sticking with their current boxes. Apple blamed the AI boom, saying data centers are buying so much memory and storage that chip prices have spiked and it couldn't keep absorbing the cost. The new model adds Siri AI, a beta assistant running on Apple Intelligence that can answer questions about on-screen content, and three built-in microphones for hands-free voice control. Siri AI will come to the 2021 and 2022 models via the tvOS 27.2 update but not to the 2017 model or Apple TV HD. Surround sound requires four HomePod mini 2 or second-generation HomePod speakers, with matching front and back models.
- Jim Cramer's top 10 things to watch in the stock market Friday
Nasdaq futures pointed to a drop of more than 2.5%, while Intel fell more than 25% premarket after weak guidance tied to high memory prices in its PC business, and Bank of America downgraded Intel to hold. Amazon fell nearly 7%, which the author calls excessive, as CEO Andy Jassy said AWS could grow north of 40% in each of the next two years. Alphabet had its worst day ever as Gemini lags behind leading AI chatbots. Baird raised its Starbucks price target to $120 from $115, Wells Fargo raised Centene's to $75 from $69, and AstraZeneca rose 6% after beating quarterly earnings and revenue. Marvell fell more than 13% in the prior session, while BofA removed Apple from its best ideas list but kept a $370 price target.
- FCC Approves $11.5 Billion Amazon Leo Acquisition Of Globalstar
The FCC approved Amazon Leo's $11.5 billion deal to buy Globalstar, giving Amazon's satellite arm about two dozen Globalstar satellites and mobile-satellite spectrum that the agency said will help Leo enter the direct-to-device market. Leo has launched nearly 400 satellites since April 2025, aims to put thousands in low Earth orbit by 2029, and plans commercial service by the end of 2026, while Starlink runs more than 11,000 satellites. Apple is also involved because Globalstar powers Emergency SOS and Find My on iPhone and Apple Watch; Amazon has signed an agreement with Apple to keep those services running and plans to acquire Apple's stake in Globalstar, which made up about 63% of Globalstar's revenue last year. Amazon now expects about $220 billion in cash capital spending in 2026, which management says will create free cash flow headwinds for now.
- Apple Q4 Earnings Call Highlights
Apple reported fiscal fourth-quarter revenue of $114.5 billion, up 12% year over year and a September-quarter record, with iPhone revenue up 17% to $57.6 billion and Mac up 24% to $10.8 billion, while iPad fell 10% to $6.2 billion. Full-year revenue reached $478.8 billion, up 15%, and EPS was $8.98, up 20%. Services hit a record $31.6 billion, up 10%, with more than 2.5 billion active devices and more than 1.5 billion paid subscriptions. However, higher memory costs are pressuring margins, and Apple forecast 7%–10% revenue growth and a 45%–46% gross margin for the December quarter.

Demand for iPhones remains strong, but Apple faces a worsening memory shortage and a slowing services business.
- S&P 500, Nasdaq Drop As Capex Concerns Grip Tech Investors, Outweighing US-Iran Diplomacy Hope — ORCL, META, PLTR, AAPL In Focus
U.S. stocks closed lower on Monday as investors moved out of tech and AI shares over concerns about capex and valuations. The S&P 500 fell 0.5% and the Nasdaq 100 dropped 1.4%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.4%. The iShares Semiconductor ETF and VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) fell between 2.7% and 3.7%, while oil prices slid after signs of possible U.S.-Iran diplomatic talks. Brent crude fell 7.63% to $104.77 per barrel and U.S. WTI dropped 7.36% to $96.46. Oracle is offering $10 billion in debt alongside an equivalent stock sale, while Meta Platforms is considering a $20 billion multi-currency bond issuance. Palantir's Q3 earnings beat expectations but valuation concerns dented sentiment, while Apple's fourth-quarter revenue topped forecasts yet its Q1 outlook failed to impress investors.

- Why Keel Infrastructure Stock Got Mashed on Monday
Keel Infrastructure (KEEL) shares fell 8.25% on Monday after Keefe, Bruyette & Woods analyst Stephen Glagola cut his price target to $3 from a previous fair value assessment of $4.50 before the market opened, while keeping a market perform (hold-equivalent) rating. Glagola wrote that Keel's colocation fundamentals remain solid, but the market needs more clarity on construction costs and project financing, and he flagged possible declines in client leases across the industry and growing regulatory uncertainty in Texas. The article notes that Keel's three priority sites have not yet reached full permitting, and that the company still must prove it can profit from data centers over the long term. The author said he would hold off on buying the shares until there is a clearer picture of how the company is managing the transition.
- Iran's Supreme Leader Grants Government Authority to Negotiate with US
Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian confirmed that Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has given the government certain authority to negotiate with the United States to end the months-long conflict, while saying Iran will not surrender to US threats.

- Amazon's Report Passed Both Tests I Set for It. I'd Buy More of the Stock Now.
Amazon shares trade around $250, more than 10% below their August 3 closing high of $284.02, even though the October 29 third-quarter report showed the company's highest operating margin in its history. AWS revenue rose 39% to $46.0 billion, marking six straight quarters of faster growth, with AWS operating income up 55% to $17.8 billion and backlog reaching $578 billion. Total operating income reached $28.1 billion, up 61% (about 29% excluding year-ago special charges), while third-quarter capital expenditures hit $75.9 billion and trailing 12-month free cash flow was negative $42.4 billion. The author said neither of the two conditions he set for the second half of his position occurred, namely AWS growth falling toward 20% or operating income landing below the $22.5–26.5 billion guidance range. He said he would buy the remaining half of the position now, while expecting free cash flow to look weak for a while.

Domestic gold prices were flat on the morning of November 3, with SJC gold bars sold at 140 million dong per tael across surveyed brands and gold rings ranging from 132.8 to 139 million dong per tael.

CME FedWatch showed a 76.6% probability of a Fed rate hike in December, down from 80% a week earlier. After a tech and AI stock selloff, gold's 14-day RSI climbed to about 37 from below 30, moving it out of technically oversold territory. Investors are watching the U.S. midterm elections on November 3, while a Julius Baer analyst said the result is unlikely to significantly change the outlook for gold.
