- What sets AMD data centers apart as Intel stock keeps sliding?
AMD beat Wall Street estimates for its third-quarter earnings, as AI data center revenue nearly doubled to $8.55 billion. Guests said Intel posted strong data center numbers but weak PC sales, and its stock plunged, while AMD's forward guidance, contracts, backlog and margins were seen as stronger. Revenue could grow 80% in 2027, up from an earlier estimate of 35%. They noted that higher memory prices and component costs were hurting PC demand, with 2027 PC shipments projected to fall by a double-digit percentage and gaming sales down 8% year-on-year.

- AMD EPS: Intel's Drag Makes No Sense
Intel (INTC) shares plunged 28% in a single session after its third-quarter report, dragging down chipmakers such as Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) in sympathy. Intel's earnings were up 126% year over year and beat expectations, but its guidance of $15-$16B fell short of the $17.1B Wall Street estimate, with weak PC demand and rising memory and component costs cited as drags. Management expects PC unit shipments to drop roughly 12% in 2026 and 10% in 2027, and PCs account for about half of Intel's revenue. AMD reported revenue up 74% and earnings up 45%, and CEO Lisa Su expects revenue to grow more than 80% in 2027, with Data Center rising to over 80% of total revenue from 64% in Q3. Intel also said agentic AI could expand the server CPU market 5x to over $200B while admitting supply cannot meet demand, which the article sees as an opening for AMD to take share.

Analysts expect AMD to earn $1.97 per share on $13 billion in revenue, versus $1.20 and $9.2 billion a year earlier. Data Center sales are forecast at $8.19 billion, up 88% from $4.34 billion, while the gaming business could fall 49% to $655 million as higher memory and storage prices weigh on demand. Client revenue, which includes PC sales, is projected at more than $3.06 billion, up 11% year over year but flat sequentially.
- AMD Slides 3% Ahead of Earnings as PC Worries Linger; Intel Drops 5%, NVIDIA Edges Higher
AMD fell 3% to $489.03 ahead of its Q3 2026 results, scheduled for November 3 after the market closes, after an 11% drop on October 30 when Intel said its PC slowdown would last at least through the first half of 2027; Intel shares plunged 29% that session.

- SpaceX and Tesla face policy and governance risks after Democratic gains
Investing.com reports that the Democratic takeover of Congress is now a direct policy risk for SpaceX (SPCX) and Tesla (TSLA), which fell in the session by about 5% and 5.6% respectively. SpaceX faces pressure from its reliance on government contracts, tighter scrutiny of Starlink's military role, and proposed Texas data-center restrictions that could slow and raise the cost of its AI infrastructure. Morgan Stanley's improved outlook, with its 2027 revenue estimate raised to $175B and its free-cash-flow-positive forecast moved up to 2031, could be offset by a larger political discount. The article calls Tesla more vulnerable, since its valuation depends on autonomy and AI that could face tighter scrutiny, and a SpaceX combination would raise governance concerns, with Barclays estimating Musk could hold about 56% of voting power on roughly 37% of shares.
- Should You Forget VOO and Buy This Magnificent ETF Instead?
The article compares the Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (MAGS) with the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) as the Nasdaq-100 has fallen about 9% from its early-October high on concerns over AI infrastructure costs. MAGS has averaged 36.9% annual returns since its April 2023 inception through September 30, but only about 12.2% over the past year, mostly due to Apple.

It cites Vanguard research suggesting AI's biggest winners could be companies that use AI rather than those building it. VOO has averaged about 12% annually over the past five years, including the 2022 bear market.
