• Microsoft Soars 7% to Record, Apple and Amazon Up 7% After Democratic Midterm Sweep

  Microsoft (MSFT) rose 7% to a record after Democrats won both the House and Senate in Tuesday's midterms, while Amazon (AMZN) gained 7% and CoreWeave (CRWV) fell 9% on worries that AI data-center build-outs could slow. The author argues Microsoft funds its build-out from its own cash, with about $60 billion of free cash flow over the twelve months to September. Amazon, by contrast, posted a $42.4 billion free cash flow outflow over the same period as it pays for AWS expansion, while CoreWeave needs customers to keep adding capacity to cover expected third-quarter interest expense of $860 million to $940 million. Microsoft's forward P/E was 25x at Tuesday's close, below its five-year average of 29x, and about 26x after the rally. However, its free cash flow fell to $18.6 billion last quarter from $25.7 billion a year earlier, and CFO Amy Hood guided capex above $50 billion for the next quarter.

• Apple, Microsoft hit all-time highs as Nasdaq surges 2% in post-election rally: AlphaCheck

  Apple shares hit an all-time high, lifting its market cap above $5 trillion, while Microsoft rose 6% to a new record. The Nasdaq rallied more than 2% and the Dow surged more than 1,100 points, or about 2%, with most sectors higher after the Democratic midterm sweep gave the party control of the House and Senate. SpaceX and Tesla initially fell on worries about regulatory hurdles to AI data center buildout, but trimmed their losses as the broader market rose. Oil extended its decline on hopes for a diplomatic resolution to the Middle East war, with Brent down more than 2% to around $100 per barrel and WTI holding above $93.

• Amazon Rallies 7%, Apple and Microsoft Climb 5% as Big Tech Leads Post-Election Rebound

  Big Tech stocks rebounded after a volatile U.S. midterm election night, with Amazon (AMZN) up 7% to $269.36 in the morning session, while Apple (AAPL) and Microsoft (MSFT) each rose 5%. Amazon's Q3 2026 AWS revenue grew 39% year over year to $45.98 billion, its fastest pace in nearly five years, though earnings per share of $1.89 missed the $1.96 expectation. ADP data showed private employers added 86,000 jobs in October, above the 67,000 economists expected, and the 10-year Treasury yield fell to its lowest level in a month. Alphabet rose 3% and Meta 2%, while NVIDIA fell 2% and Tesla 5%. The article notes that a one-day rebound does not confirm a bottom, with bears pointing to Amazon's trailing-twelve-month free cash outflow of $42.4 billion amid heavy AI spending and ongoing tariff and trade policy uncertainty.

• Palantir, Apple and Microsoft Brace for Democrats to Go on Offensive

  If Democrats win back at least one chamber of Congress in the midterm elections, they could gain subpoena power, prompting companies that worked with the Trump administration to prepare. Palantir, Apple and Microsoft have hired advisers with Democratic ties, including former Senator Mark Begich and Steve Elmendorf, and Apple also added Arshi Siddiqui, a former aide to Nancy Pelosi. Firms that donated to the White House ballroom project, the inauguration fund or other Trump-linked efforts are reviewing internal documents ahead of possible subpoenas. New lobbying registrations have surged this fall, and insiders describe the preparations as unprecedented. Some companies are reportedly rebalancing political contributions and getting executives ready to explain their dealings with the administration.

• Amazon workers in the Greater Toronto Area launch fight for better jobs with Unifor

  Amazon workers across the Greater Toronto Area have launched a new organizing drive with Unifor, seeking safe jobs, fair pay and respect ahead of Black Friday. The union notes Amazon reported US$28.1 billion in operating income in Q3 2026, with an operating margin of almost 14%, its highest ever, while many associates received a wage increase of only $1/hour in 2026. Workplace Safety and Insurance Board data shows Amazon's 2025 injury rate was more than double its 2020 level, and annual injury claims have nearly tripled. Ontario holds more than half of Amazon's Canadian workforce, and workers at the YVR2 warehouse in Delta, B.C. are close to securing the first collective agreement at Amazon in North America. Unifor, Canada's largest private-sector union with 320,000 workers, says workers have a legal right to organize.

• S&P 500, Nasdaq Surge Ahead After Democratic Sweep, Dow Jumps To One-Year High On Lower Oil — AAPL, SNAP, INTC, CRWV, QCOM In Focus

  U.S. stock indices closed higher on Wednesday as tech and chipmaker shares recovered, with traders betting a Democratic sweep would slow AI capital spending. The S&P 500 gained 2%, the Nasdaq 100 rose 1%, and the Dow Jones jumped 3% to a one-year high, while WTI and Brent crude each fell about 8%. In contrast, semiconductor ETFs SMH and iShares Semiconductor dropped about 3% amid weakness in NVDA, MU and AVGO. Analysts said a divided government may limit additional fiscal stimulus and ease pressure on Treasury yields. Snap shares tumbled 11% after hours, and Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan bought 150,000 shares worth $9.7 million through a family trust.

• A 'demand decade' ahead for energy? BP, Baker Hughes CEOs weigh the investment outlook

  Rising energy demand is opening new investment opportunities, though geopolitical risks and uncertain oil prices are challenging the industry. Baker Hughes CEO Lorenzo Simonelli is optimistic about the long term, citing AI, population growth and developing nations, and says the industry has a 'demand decade' ahead. He expects industry activity to rise by a low-single-digit percentage in 2027 and says the Middle East conflict highlights the need for more resilient infrastructure, including storage and pipelines. RWE CEO Markus Krebber says AI and electrification are driving electricity demand, but geopolitical tensions, supply chain pressures and higher interest rates are complicating investment decisions. BP CEO Meg O'Neill stresses that wide forecast ranges for global energy demand matter for long-lived projects, while Energy Aspects expects oil markets could be oversupplied in 2027 and 2028 if Middle East flows return to normal.
