The author judges Nvidia the best pick among the Magnificent Seven through 2030, as its GPUs are widely used for AI workloads and many companies in the group are spending hundreds of billions of dollars on AI infrastructure each year. Nvidia projects global annual data center capital expenditures will reach USD 3–4 trillion by 2030 and expects 70% revenue growth in 2027. The five largest AI hyperscalers are estimated to spend nearly USD 800 billion this year and USD 1.3 trillion next year. If revenue grows 70% in 2027 and doubles again from 2028 to 2030, total growth would reach 240%, far above Meta, the next fastest grower at 26%. The article also notes Nvidia's stock has not had its best year and that the company reports earnings near the end of November.

- As AI Labs Burn Cash, the Real Question Is Which Suppliers Get Paid
Microsoft confirmed it is pulling out of a planned UK AI data center being developed by Nscale, because the electricity needed would not be available until the 2030s, while keeping its other agreements with Nscale. The article argues investors should distinguish suppliers paid for hardware, such as Nvidia and Broadcom, from operators like Oracle, CoreWeave and Nebius, which build data centers, rent capacity and must fund infrastructure while waiting for customers to pay. Nvidia has invested in more than 200 companies, while Broadcom's risk lies in customer concentration. AMD is competing with Nvidia through a deal to deploy 6 gigawatts of its GPUs for OpenAI, and it granted OpenAI warrants for up to 160 million AMD shares tied to milestones. Nvidia has also agreed to buy unused CoreWeave computing capacity under certain conditions through 2032.
- Nvidia's Huang heads to Kazakhstan for the first time — and he's not the only one with big plans
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, on his first visit to Kazakhstan, said the country could become a major AI computing hub for Europe, citing its energy resources and plans to expand data center capacity. He stressed that nations should develop their own AI infrastructure and adapt the technology to their own languages and cultures. Kazakhstan declared 2026 the Year of Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence and in June announced a $10 billion AI infrastructure plan with U.S.-based AI cloud company Firebird, targeting a computing cluster of 100,000 advanced GPUs; Nvidia intends to invest in Firebird. AI video startup Higgsfield, which has more than 300 staff in Kazakhstan, said Nvidia and investment firm TCV invested in an extension of its Series B round, without disclosing the amount. The Data Center Valley project in Ekibastuz already has 300 megawatts of capacity available and plans to expand to 1 gigawatt, while GK Hyperscale plans a $1.5 billion investment in two hyperscale data centers.
- Nvidia Is 'Too Big to Fail,' Semafor Editor Warns: 'The Government Would Step In'
Liz Hoffman, business editor at Semafor, said on the Prof G Markets podcast that the U.S. government would likely step in to save Nvidia but not Meta or Google. She argues Nvidia has become so deeply involved in financing the AI boom that it increasingly resembles AIG, which Washington rescued during the 2008 crisis. Nvidia has stakes in 229 private companies and 13 public firms, and in August agreed to provide up to $105 billion in guarantees for an Ohio data-center campus leased to OpenAI. Hoffman warns that weaker AI demand could hit chip sales and investment losses at the same time, though she called Nvidia's $150 billion buyback increase 'a flex'. The IMF also warned that an AI investment slowdown could destabilize financial markets.
- Tech giants need legacy businesses to keep growing as they pour trillions into the AI buildout
Big tech companies are pouring trillions of dollars into AI infrastructure but still rely on advertising, business software and e-commerce to fund it. This quarter, free cash flow was negative at Meta (-$2.12 billion), Amazon (-$42.4 billion) and Alphabet (-$9.07 billion), while Microsoft remained the only hyperscaler still positive, though its figure fell 27% to $18.63 billion. Amazon's online sales rose just 2%, below analysts' estimates, and it expects capital expenditures to reach $220 billion this year. Meta says capex could reach as high as $145 billion this year, and it plans to raise $95 billion in stock to support AI investment. Alphabet's core search business grew slower for a third straight quarter and missed projections, raising concerns that AI could displace its main revenue sources, though some investors argue its existing businesses remain strong enough to support the spending.
- AI infrastructure spending by tech giants to exceed $1 trillion in 2027 : UBS
UBS estimates that AI infrastructure spending by major technology companies will exceed USD 600 billion in 2026 and USD 1 trillion in 2027, as demand for computing capacity keeps outpacing supply. This spending contributed about 0.75 percentage points to US GDP growth in the first half of 2026. The report finds little clear evidence that AI has materially lifted productivity or caused substantial job losses, with its impact on the overall unemployment rate at around 0.2 percentage points or less. Employment in software and computer systems design fell 1.4% year-on-year, while construction employment supporting data centres grew nearly 3%. Cash flows at major tech firms have weakened, and investors expect free cash flow to turn positive again in 2028 if AI services generate enough revenue.
- Is Nebius Stock a Buy After Its 36% Pullback?
Nebius Group (NBIS) has fallen 36% from its near-$300 peak as an AI stock sell-off over funding concerns hit the sector. The AI cloud company builds data centers fitted with Nvidia GPU chips and leases them mainly to Microsoft and Meta Platforms. Analysts expect revenue of $3.34 billion this year and $12.24 billion next year, and Nebius has more than $40 billion in long-term commitments from investment-grade customers, with Nvidia holding a stake. Management expects $20 billion to $25 billion in capex this year, funded by debt and new stock, while the market capitalization stands at $43 billion; prepayments of around $9 billion are guided for 2026, and the company had about $8 billion in cash at the end of the second quarter. The author notes the stock trades at less than four times next year's revenue estimate, which could make it attractive to risk-seeking growth investors, though future profit margins remain hard to predict.

- German paper: EU's biggest historical mistake is turning its back on Russia
German newspaper Berliner Zeitung argues that Kaja Kallas's appointment as EU foreign policy chief has become the biggest mistake in the bloc's history. The paper criticizes the EU for staying out of contacts with Russia, while the leaders of Finland and Norway engaged directly with President Vladimir Putin on ending the Ukraine conflict. According to the report, Kallas is not seen as a significant figure in negotiations and is not expected to join the planned three-way talks between Russia, the US and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi. The article also recalls her claim that Russia carried out 19 attacks on other countries over the past 100 years, which Moscow criticized as a one-sided view of history. It adds that her relations with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen have visibly deteriorated.

- U.S. stock futures edge high after bruising Oct; earnings, elections in focus
U.S. stock index futures rose on Sunday evening, pointing to a possible recovery on Wall Street after October's sharp tech-led losses driven by doubts over AI spending. S&P 500 futures gained 0.2% to 7,630.75 points, and Nasdaq 100 futures rose 0.36% to 28,644.0 points. In October, the Nasdaq Composite fell more than 5% and the S&P 500 lost 0.9%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 1.7% as money moved out of tech into more defensive sectors. This week's focus is on earnings from Apple, Palantir, and Berkshire Hathaway on Monday and AMD on Tuesday, along with the midterm elections on Tuesday, when all 435 House seats and 35 Senate seats are up for vote. The article argues that a Democratic majority in both chambers of Congress would be a major hurdle for Trump's legislative agenda, especially as his approval fell to a record-low 31% in a Reuters/Ipsos poll.
