- AMD, Nvidia Could Join Tesla On Samsung's Texas Chip Plant Customer List: Report
Samsung Electronics reportedly will make base dies for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips at its second Texas plant, with orders covering all planned output, mostly from AMD, according to Maeil Business Newspaper as cited by Reuters. Nvidia could also join the customer list, though Samsung would manufacture these components rather than the main processors designed by AMD and Nvidia. The 2.7 million square foot factory, about 1.5 times the size of Samsung's first Texas plant, is scheduled to begin construction this month, with equipment installation in 2029 and production in 2030 using the 2-nanometer process. Samsung's first Texas plant already has a $16.5 billion contract with Tesla, signed in July 2025. In pre-market trading on Tuesday, AMD shares rose about 2.3% and NVDA shares rose about 1.4%, while Stocktwits sentiment moved to bullish for AMD and bearish for Nvidia.
- AMD Reports Tuesday. Here's the Number That Will Show Whether It's Gaining on Nvidia
Advanced Micro Devices will report third-quarter results after the market closes Tuesday, after shares fell nearly 11% on Friday and declined again Monday amid broader chip stock weakness, leaving the stock nearly 30% below its all-time high reached less than a month earlier. AMD guided revenue of about $13 billion, plus or minus $300 million, while analysts expect $13.09 billion, up 41.5% from a year ago. The article points to fourth-quarter guidance, especially data center GPU contribution as Helios systems ramp, as the more important figure, with the average analyst estimate at about $16.3 billion and Jefferies' Blayne Curtis expecting closer to $17 billion. Compared with Nvidia's $89 billion of data center revenue last quarter, AMD's data center segment generated $6.7 billion, and the article flags risks including lower margins on AI chips and Intel's warning about a shrinking PC market.
- 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. Intel guided Q4 2026 revenue to $15–16 billion, below the roughly $17 billion consensus, but its Data Center and AI revenue still rose 78% to $7.32 billion. AMD's Client segment brought in $3.06 billion in Q2 2026, while Data Center rose 107% to $6.72 billion, making up 58% of sales. NVIDIA rose 1% to $206.76. AMD guided Q3 revenue to about $13 billion ±$300 million versus the $13.09 billion consensus, and bears point to a forward earnings multiple of 45x against a five-year average of 35x.
- It’s Time to Revisit The Nvidia Vs. AMD Debate
NVIDIA and AMD both beat expectations in their latest reports, yet their stocks have moved in opposite directions: AMD is up 164.48% year to date, while NVIDIA is up 14.83%. NVIDIA posted revenue of $96.22B, up 105.8%, with Data Center reaching $89.02B; AMD delivered $11.54B, up 50.1%, and its Data Center sales rose 107% to $6.72B, now 58% of revenue. The article says the gap reflects valuation: NVIDIA trades at about 43 times earnings, while AMD trades near 213, a price that assumes Helios ramps well before volume shipments. For AMD, the author is watching whether Helios yields improve on schedule and whether third-quarter revenue lands near the $13 billion guidance. For NVIDIA, the case rests on its 75.0% margins and $21.34B in quarterly free cash flow, while AMD's non-GAAP gross margin is 56%.

- 3 reasons why the tech stock rout is growing more alarming
Tech stocks are being sold more aggressively, columnist Brian Sozzi writes, even though Apple (AAPL) posted a strong quarter with double-digit iPhone sales growth and Palantir (PLTR) reported a big quarter and outlook; both fell in premarket trading on Tuesday. Analysts remain bullish, yet investors are not buying top tech names despite valuation discounts versus a month ago and historical averages, with Nvidia (NVDA) cited as an example. The S&P 493 has also started slipping as the market recognizes that most companies are tied to the AI boom; if AI-driven productivity gains arrive more slowly than expected, the entire market may need to be re-rated.
- Rate Hikes Could Be Coming: History Likes These 4 Bank Stocks
The Federal Reserve is gearing up to raise rates again, and Wall Street's four biggest banks are not equally positioned to benefit; history shows at least one of them lost ground in past tightening cycles. The Fed raised rates in September for the first time in 3 years, leaving the upper bound of the federal funds target range at 4.00%, and Kalshi traders put a 72% market-implied probability on another 25-basis-point hike at the December 9 meeting. Rising rates typically widen banks' net interest margins, but only JPMorgan rose in all three past hiking cycles; it trades at 13x forward earnings, the highest multiple in the group, with loan losses as its main risk. Bank of America estimates a 100-basis-point rise would add approximately $1.40 billion to net interest income over 12 months, but its main risk is unrealized bond losses, and the stock slid 24.8% in the last cycle. Citigroup has the cheapest multiple at 9x forward earnings but the weakest track record.

- Dip Buyers in Leveraged Tech ETFs Are Getting Crushed
Billions flowed into leveraged semiconductor and tech ETFs as prices fell in October, but daily-reset funds make waiting for a rebound more costly the longer it takes. The Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X ETF (SOXL) drew $7.27 billion of net new money in October, about 29.91% of its $24.31 billion in assets, yet fell 47.89% over the month, while the ProShares UltraPro QQQ (TQQQ) drew $3.49 billion and fell 20.53%. Net flows do not show who bought, at what price, or whether they still hold. From October 6 to November 2, SOXL lost 58.50% versus 23.04% for the unleveraged iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX), reflecting the compounding effect of daily resets. To recover to its October 29 close, SOXL needs about 50.2% while SOXX needs about 13.3%.
- Anthropic targets doubling computing capacity to 7 gigawatts next year, NYT report
According to the New York Times, Anthropic expects more than 3.5 gigawatts of computing capacity by the end of this year and aims to double that next year, enough electricity to power all the homes in Chicago. The company has accumulated $895.4 billion in commitments for data centers, chips and computing power through 2045, per its updated IPO prospectus, with nearly $70 billion expected to take effect over the next 12 months. It sources computing power from neoclouds Fluidstack, Lambda and Nscale and has major agreements with Google ($121.3 billion), Amazon ($110 billion), Microsoft ($44.9 billion) and SpaceX ($120.5 billion). The company is also taking a more hands-on role in infrastructure, hiring construction and supply-chain specialists and buying equipment such as cooling systems. The article notes that access to electricity and computing infrastructure is becoming a critical competitive advantage, while raising questions about returns on increasingly expensive capacity commitments.
