- Meta Muse Wants to Run Your Life, and Analyst Says the Winner Will Be Whoever You Trust ‘With Their Card and Their Habits’
Meta wants its AI agent Muse to become the assistant people rely on to run their daily lives, a race that also involves Apple and Amazon. According to Sensor Tower data reported by TechCrunch, Muse has passed 10.9 million downloads since its September debut, including 10.2 million in the U.S., and only 11 other apps have reached 10 million U.S. downloads within 40 days. Its U.S. seven-day retention stood at 30%, versus an average of 19% for rivals including ChatGPT, Claude and Grok. Analysts argue that the AI model is the least durable advantage as capabilities converge and costs fall, so trust and habits built over years will matter most. Amazon has blocked Muse from its site, while Apple is seen as well placed through its device and wallet but risks losing discovery and transactions. Zuckerberg said Meta is prepared to spend up to $200 billion on AI.
- Tech giants race to get AI gadgets on shelves for holiday rush
Apple, Amazon and Microsoft have each unveiled AI-focused devices in the past week, aiming to bring generative AI into homes ahead of the holiday shopping season. Microsoft's Nvidia-powered Windows laptop starts at $2,599, Amazon's Alexa Tablet 12 Pro costs $550, and Apple's HomeView smart home hub costs $299 with a 7-inch screen and Siri AI. IDC analyst Jitesh Ubrani said the goal is to get devices into consumers' homes so they learn to use AI and give feedback, and the new gadgets are not expected to sell in large volumes yet. Higher memory and storage costs have pushed up hardware prices and plunged this year's shipments of smartphones and laptops, while consumer sentiment is at its weakest in 12 years. Bain predicts U.S. holiday retail sales could top $1 trillion for the first time, though more than half of the nominal growth will come from inflation.
- 'I'm going to keep winning by innovating': Ring founder Jamie Siminoff isn't sweating Apple's smart home push
Ring founder Jamie Siminoff says he is not worried about Apple's smart home push and will keep focusing on innovation at Ring, where he now works as an employee of Amazon. Ring has just launched its first smart lock, featuring a power dial that recharges the lock by hand if the battery dies, and four unlock methods: fingerprint, keypad, the Ring app or Alexa, with availability expected in early 2027. Apple is widely expected to unveil a smart home display hub, possibly including a video doorbell, smart lock and thermostat developed with LG Electronics, in a direct challenge to Ring and Google's Nest. Ring began as Doorbot in Siminoff's garage; he pitched it on Shark Tank in 2013 seeking $700,000 for 10% and got no deal, and Amazon later bought the business in 2018 for $1.15 billion. Siminoff left Amazon in 2023 and returned in early 2025 to lead its security products, with a mandate to use AI and run a more efficient business.
- Ring founder Jamie Siminoff: 'I still have my email on every box' — here's why
Ring founder Jamie Siminoff says he still puts his email address on the box of every smart home device Ring sells, which he calls a way to get ground-truth data. He has just debuted Ring's first smart lock, which has a power dial to recharge it by hand if the battery dies and offers four ways to unlock: fingerprint, keypad, Ring app, or Alexa, with availability in early 2027. The launch comes as Apple unveiled its HomeView smart home hub, developed with LG Electronics, in a direct challenge to Ring and Google's Nest. Siminoff pitched Doorbot on Shark Tank in 2013, seeking $700,000 for 10%, but got no deal. Amazon bought Ring in 2018 for $1.15 billion; Siminoff left in 2023 and returned in early 2025 to lead its security products.
- This is the Cheapest Mag 7 Stock Right Now
A Zacks Value Investor podcast, featuring editor Tracey Ryniec, compares valuations across the Magnificent 7 stocks. Tesla is described as the most expensive on a forward P/E basis at 215, and with shares down 22% year-to-date it is the worst performer in the group; Zacks ranks it #4 (Sell) ahead of its upcoming earnings report. Apple trades at a forward P/E of 36 and a price-to-sales ratio of 10.7, a historically high valuation, yet its shares are up 26% year-to-date at record highs, the best in the group. Amazon is up 8% year-to-date versus 11.8% for the S&P 500, with earnings expected to rise 81.6% in 2026 and a forward P/E of just 19.6, which the podcast says is the lowest Amazon has traded at on a P/E basis historically.
- Should You Be Worried About Apple Stock?
Apple stock returned 35.1% over the past year versus 17.1% for the S&P 500, but the article says the main pressure now is cost. Management said memory chip prices have risen sharply, calling it a '100-year flood,' and expects higher memory costs in the September quarter. Gross margin still reached 50.1% in fiscal Q3 2026, up from 46.5% a year earlier, though guidance for the September quarter is 47% to 48%, including about one point from tariff refunds. Demand is strong: products brought in $78.7 billion of the $109.4 billion in revenue, and iPhone and Mac sales ran ahead of plan. Apple trades at 38.6 times earnings versus 23.0 for the S&P 500, so the article calls gross margin the key figure to watch in the next report.

- Fed’s Hammack backs restrictive rates, cites persistent inflation pressures
Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack said benchmark rates must move into restrictive territory to curb persistent inflation, favoring measured and frequent policy adjustments. Speaking in Zurich, she dissented alongside one other official at last week's FOMC meeting, which paused borrowing costs. September headline and core PCE inflation stood at 3.6% and 3.1%, well above the 2% target. She argued that price stability and central bank independence underpin the dollar's reserve status, though its share of global FX reserves has eased to about 57% from above 70% in the early 2000s. She noted that dollar-pegged stablecoins reinforce the greenback's international reach and could support Treasury bill demand, while questioning whether the GENIUS Act will meaningfully lift global dollar demand.
- This Is the Number That Could Change Nvidia Stock’s Outlook for 2027
The author cites a $350 per-share figure for 2027 as a stretch target that the math can still support. Nvidia's fiscal second-quarter revenue reached $96.22 billion, up 105.8%, with Data Center revenue up 117% to $89.02 billion. The average analyst price target of $328.95 implies about 59% upside from the $207.03 share price, and analysts expect fiscal 2028 EPS of $15.9146, roughly 71% growth from $9.3124. At $350 the stock would trade at 22x fiscal 2028 estimated earnings, close to the S&P 500's forward P/E of 21x to 23x, versus 13x today. Risks noted include gross margins expected to bottom at 71% to 72% in the fourth quarter amid rising memory costs, and $279B in supply obligations.
- SpaceX, Tesla stocks tumble as Democratic sweep raises questions on merger prospects, AI buildout
SpaceX (SPCX) and Tesla (TSLA) shares each fell roughly 9% on Thursday after Democrats won control of the House and Senate. Investors worried about regulatory hurdles to US data center buildouts and to a possible SpaceX/Tesla merger. Yorkville's Dan Ives said a merger faces a much tougher regulatory path to be completed in 2027, and that data center growth into 2028 will moderate significantly, especially in Texas. Goldman Sachs analysts said Democratic wins at state and local levels could lead to short-term data center moratoria, potentially affecting about 45% of planned US data center capacity expansion.
- Why Sandisk Stock Keeps Going Down
Sandisk shares have shed 36% over the last six trading days and were down another 14.5% in morning trading Thursday, though still up 400% over 52 weeks. Some attribute the decline to China's CXMT, which said it received $1 billion in customer prepayments for DRAM chips through the end of September, a 15.7-fold increase from the end of 2025. The article argues CXMT focuses on DRAM while Sandisk makes NAND flash, so they are not direct competitors, though they could compete if Sandisk's high-bandwidth flash (HBF) and CXMT's DRAM used as HBM gain traction. It also notes CXMT is struggling to transition to HBM, with yield rates for its next-generation HBM3E products at only 20% to 30%.
- Why Wingstop Rallied in October
Wingstop (WING) shares rose 42.2% in October, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence, helped by third-quarter earnings that cleared a very low bar and by investor rotation out of AI-related stocks. Shares had already fallen about 56% for the year before the month began. Revenue rose 5.4% to $185.1 million, missing analyst expectations, while adjusted EPS fell by less than 1% to $1.08, slightly beating expectations. Same-store sales dropped 5.4%, and management forecast full-year same-store sales to decline between 6.5% and 7%, even as new unit growth runs at 14.4%–14.7%. The stock remains down about 30% for the year and trades around 40 times this year's earnings estimates, so the article says it looks a bit expensive after the rebound, with it unclear when traffic will return to positive territory.
