- NVDA Stock Drops: Nvidia May Back Data Center Loan Its Own Customer, Analyst Sees Little Impact From Intel’s Weak Report
Nvidia shares fell 2% in overnight trading amid a broad selloff in AI infrastructure stocks, following mixed reports from Intel and Amazon. Bloomberg reported that Nvidia is in talks to provide credit support for an Nscale data center in West Virginia that Anthropic plans to use, while Nscale is pursuing an IPO with a $30 billion target that some investors have pushed back on. Intel plunged 23% after forecasting December-quarter sales and profit below expectations, while AMD fell 6.4% and Micron 3.4%. Deepwater Asset Management's Gene Munster said Intel's weak outlook should not be extrapolated to Nvidia, as the main issue is PC demand, and noted that Meta and Alphabet expect significantly higher capex. Nvidia stock is up 15% year to date.
- Intel stock gets JPMorgan upgrade as AI and data center demand builds
J.P. Morgan's Harlan Sur upgraded Intel to neutral from underweight and kept the $85 price target unchanged. The speakers stress this is not a bullish call, since he sees the risk/reward as relatively balanced after the stock's pullback. He points to strong server demand, data center leads and good progress in custom chip manufacturing, but wants to see how the measures the company has put in place play out before getting more bullish. The discussion also noted that the US government taking a stake in Intel was hard to predict.
- AppLovin, 8x8, Elastic, Shopify, and F5 shares are falling, what you need to know
Several technology stocks fell in the afternoon session after disappointing earnings from Amazon and Intel, which followed mediocre reports from Alphabet and ServiceNow the previous day. According to CNBC, investors grew wary of heavy AI spending on data centers and computing hardware and of sustained cash burn, and questioned when these investments would translate into revenue and profit growth. AppLovin (APP) fell 8.4%, Shopify (SHOP) 6.8%, F5 (FFIV) 6.6%, 8x8 (EGHT) 6.2%, and Elastic (ESTC) 5.9%. AppLovin has had 53 moves greater than 5% over the past year; its previous big move was a 5.2% gain 15 days earlier, when software and tech equities rebounded as falling Treasury yields drew buyers back after an AI-driven sell-off.
- Intel Shares Collapse. Why I'm Still Not Buying the Stock
Intel shares fell 28.58% after the chipmaker issued weak Q4 guidance amid a slowdown in the PC market, even though the stock had risen about 150% year-to-date on demand for server CPUs. Q3 revenue rose 21% to $16.5 billion, with the data center and AI segment up 78% to $7.3 billion. For Q4, Intel projected revenue of $15 billion to $16 billion and adjusted EPS of $0.25, below analyst expectations, and expects a $600 million revenue hit from an explosion at a fab in Israel. The PC segment is expected to keep declining, the foundry business still posted a $1.9 billion loss, and the company is losing server CPU share to rivals. The author says the stock still does not deserve a premium valuation even after the drop, with a forward P/E of 30 times based on 2027 estimates, so the author does not see it as an attractive investment.
- AMD Stock Fell 11% in a Day Ahead of Its November 3 Report. Here's Why Intel's 78% Data Center Jump Matters More to AMD Than Its PC Warning
AMD fell 10.88% to $504.80 on October 30, days before its November 3 report, after rival Intel guided fourth-quarter revenue to $15.0–16.0 billion and its shares closed down 28.58%. Intel's client and physical AI group fell 5% to $8.1 billion and it expects client revenue to drop more than 20% from the third quarter, while its data center revenue rose 78% to $7.3 billion. AMD's data center revenue more than doubled to $6.7 billion in the second quarter, making up 58% of its revenue, while client revenue rose 23% to $3.1 billion. The article notes a memory-driven PC slowdown into 2027 could weigh on roughly a quarter of AMD's revenue, and that its $8.2 billion all-stock purchase of World Labs will add shares.
- Intel’s stock crashes, knocking $12B from government’s stake
Intel's stock crashed around 28% on Friday, one of its worst days ever, after the chipmaker forecast weaker fourth-quarter results: revenue of $15–16 billion versus analysts' expected ~$17 billion, gross margin falling to 37% from 43%, and no positive cash flow. The drop cut $12 billion from the value of the government's 10% stake, bought under the Trump administration over a year ago. Intel is still up more than 70% this year, though well below its summer highs. CEO Lip-Bu Tan said customers signaled a PC slowdown due to rising memory prices and limited availability, while data center revenue grew 78% year over year. Intel's new Arizona fab is operational, but the next one isn't expected until 2028.

- 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. Iran's Foreign Ministry said messages are being exchanged with Washington through mediators, and spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei said Iran is ready to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours if the US accepts Iran's conditions, down from one week previously. The article does not specify a timeline for resuming formal talks. On October 31, US President Donald Trump said negotiations were going well but described Tehran as not very reliable.
- 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.
- Nearly three decades of Vinamilk taking its brand abroad
The article traces nearly three decades of Vinamilk taking its brand abroad, now present in 67 countries and territories. Its first step was sending 2 containers of Dielac infant milk powder to Iraq under the UN's Oil-for-Food programme, followed by an order of 300 tonnes delivered on time in March 1997. In 2010 Vinamilk bought 19.3% of Miraka Limited in New Zealand for NZD 12.5 million, as the domestic dairy herd then met only about 30% of demand. In 2013 it invested about USD 7 million for 70% of Driftwood Dairy Holding Corporation in the US, and in 2016, with partner BPC, it opened the Angkormilk factory in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, where Vinamilk holds 51% of a USD 20 million investment.
