The article says AI hyperscalers' data center spending is accelerating demand for Micron's high-bandwidth memory (HBM). Micron's fiscal fourth-quarter 2026 revenue reached $54.2 billion versus $11.3 billion a year earlier, and full-year revenue rose 256% to about $133.2 billion. The author warns that the memory industry is cyclical, so rising capacity could eventually normalize prices and margins by 2030. Nvidia's fiscal second-quarter revenue was $96.2 billion, up 106%, with about $89 billion from its data center business, and it is expanding into networking, telecom and software. The author therefore chooses Nvidia as the more diversified pick if holding only one of the two stocks through 2030.

- My Top 3 AI Stock Picks for November
The author argues that Nvidia, Micron and Broadcom are all central to the AI build-out and highlights their growth outlooks. Nvidia reported 106% growth last quarter and expects revenue growth of about 70% in 2027. Broadcom expects AI semiconductor revenue of about $58 billion in 2026, rising to $115 billion in 2027 and $230 billion in 2028. Micron trades at 5.5 times forward earnings, and if it reaches 15 times trailing earnings, the author estimates the stock could roughly triple. Nvidia and Broadcom trade at 13.5 and 18 times next year's earnings, which the author says leaves much of 2027's growth unpriced and could support a year-end rally, making November an attractive month for these three stocks.
- I Survived the Dot-Com Bubble. The Lessons I Learned From That Time Are Keeping Me Out of These 2 Tech Giants, and Here's Why
The author, who lived through the dot-com boom and bust, points to a cyclically adjusted P/E (CAPE) ratio of 41, a level exceeded only during the dot-com boom, as a sign the market is vulnerable to a meaningful downturn. Micron reported 379% revenue growth in its latest quarter and $37.7 billion in net income, but memory chip prices are highly cyclical, and the stock trades at a P/E of 12 amid fears of a sharp sell-off. Nvidia posted 106% revenue growth and $59.7 billion in net income, with a market cap above $5 trillion, but the author sees parallels with Cisco in 2000, which traded at a P/E of 241 before a $2.25 billion write-down in 2001. Nvidia's P/E of 26 is far lower and it holds a software moat, so the author expects an AI bust would more likely be a growth disruption, with the main risk being customers it finances going bankrupt.
- Nvidia vs. Micron: The AI Revolution Is Big Enough for Both. Here's the Better Buy.
The article compares Nvidia, maker of the logic chips that power AI models, with Micron, which supplies the memory and storage used in AI training and use. Over the past five years Nvidia has risen more than 800%, while Micron has climbed 1,200%. Nvidia leads the AI chip market, with its latest revenue up 106% to $96 billion and net income up 126% to $59 billion. The author sees Micron benefiting from agentic AI, with its latest quarterly revenue up more than 370%, but notes memory is cyclical and could face pressure once supply normalizes. The author concludes Nvidia is the better pick, citing its broad AI exposure and less cyclical revenue.
- This Week In AI Chips - Advancing AI Network Management Through Enhanced GigaSMART Technology
Gigamon has enhanced its Deep Observability Pipeline with distributed GigaSMART processing to support AI-enabled network and security operations, including the new GigaVUE-GSA110 appliance. The aim is to give enterprises better visibility across hybrid cloud environments as they adopt hybrid AI architectures. In market news, King Yuan Electronics rose 7.1% to close at NT$278.00, while Tower Semiconductor fell 8.2% to $183.78. Broadcom finished flat at $334.37, NVIDIA slipped 0.3% to $216.47, and Micron Technology dropped 1% to $896.07. Micron also held a special call on Monday to discuss DRAM, HBM and NAND innovations.
- Meet the New Nasdaq-100 Stock That’s Crushing Nvidia, Micron, and Sandisk. Is It Too Late to Buy?
- I Just Bought Micron Stock. Here's Why
The author has just bought Micron (MU) shares after the stock rose about 230% so far in 2026, making it the fourth-best performer in the S&P 500. The article says Micron is reducing its cyclicality through floor and ceiling price deals with clients, with take-or-pay agreements locking in an estimated 35% of revenue through 2030. A partnership with Nvidia on an industry-first custom memory chip for its GPUs is also seen as reshaping a key relationship. Management expects supply conditions to worsen further in 2027 and 2028, as significant new capacity arrives only from mid-2027 into 2028, and some clients have signed deals through 2031. The author will monitor memory chip market conditions closely and exit the stock if they deteriorate.

- One Force Injects VND 123,000 Billion to “Support” Vietnam’s Stock Market Since Start of Year
As of November 4, domestic investors had net bought over VND 123,000 billion on HoSE since early 2026, excluding IPOs, rights offerings and private placements.

Margin debt at end-Q3 was estimated at about VND 440,000 billion, up VND 5,000 billion in a quarter and an all-time high; growth slowed partly due to high interest rates, but this could change if rates fall.

- Jim Cramer says this bank stock is a buy after its post-election pullback
Stocks rallied Wednesday after a decisive Democratic victory in the midterms, as investors bet that Democratic control of both the House and Senate could slow AI data center buildout and benefit hyperscalers such as Amazon, Alphabet, Meta and Microsoft. Micron slipped 6% and CoreWeave dropped 9%. Capital One fell nearly 3% despite a broader financial rally, as investors weighed the possibility that Democrats could renew efforts to cap credit card interest rates; Jim Cramer dismissed the likelihood of such a proposal becoming law, said the sell-off created an opportunity in COF, but cautioned against rushing in before the market settles. Cardinal Health and Kimberly-Clark report earnings Thursday morning; Jim remains positive on Cardinal's business while noting the stock can be volatile around earnings, and sees Kimberly-Clark's completed Kenvue acquisition as an opportunity to strengthen its longer-term prospects.
- Marvell Stock Has Plunged 46% Since Jensen Huang Called It the Next $1 Trillion Company. Here's Why.
Marvell shares traded at $171 as of Nov. 2, down 46% from their peak, after Jensen Huang called the company the next trillion-dollar company in early June. The sell-off followed Marvell's agreement to acquire optical networking specialist Lumentum (LITE) in an all-stock deal with an implied enterprise value of about $115 billion, in which Marvell will issue 4.5 new shares for each Lumentum share. After the transaction, Marvell shareholders would own 67% of the combined company, a dilution the article says explains the negative market reaction. The author argues the deal could bring more than $1 billion in annual run-rate cost synergies and be accretive to adjusted EPS in the first year, and that the combined addressable market could expand to $550 billion from a $400 billion forecast by calendar 2030.
