Chinese AI firms including Alibaba, Tencent and ByteDance have reportedly bought almost 6 million RTX Pro 5500 processors from Nvidia, but expect deliveries of only tens of thousands over the next four months, around 1% of the claimed total. The gap reflects Nvidia's struggle to ramp up manufacturing fast enough to meet strong AI chip demand. While robust demand supports Nvidia's long-term revenue outlook, limited deliveries could delay revenue recognition and leave timing uncertain for remaining orders. The article did not confirm a supply timeline for the rest of the chips or the order value Nvidia expects to recognize. The next key factor, according to the report, is whether Nvidia can increase production and set clear delivery schedules for its Chinese clients.

- Nvidia’s Chinese Clients Will Get Just 1% of $70 Billion in RTX Chip Orders
Bloomberg reported that Chinese AI and cloud firms, including Alibaba, Tencent and ByteDance, have ordered about 6 million NVIDIA RTX Pro 5500 chips worth about $70 billion, but expect to receive only about 1% of them over the next four months. NVIDIA is prioritizing its most advanced, higher-margin chips amid limited capacity. Analysts still expect NVIDIA's revenue to reach $692 billion in the year ending January 2028, with very little from China. Customers in China and Hong Kong brought in $19.7 billion of the $215.9 billion total in the year ended January 2026. NVIDIA trades at 17x forward earnings, its lowest in three years, and its next report is due Nov. 17.

- NVIDIA Rises 3% Despite AI CEO’s Warning on Chinese Chip Competition; AMD Climbs 5%, Broadcom Gains 3%
NVIDIA rose 3% to $208.24 in afternoon trading, snapping a four-session losing streak, though it remains down 11% over the past month; its market value reached $5.03 trillion. AMD gained 5% and Broadcom 3% as chip stocks moved higher together. Misha Laskin, CEO of NVIDIA-backed startup Reflection AI, warned that Chinese AI labs giving away open models abroad will start selling their own chips and data centers, while the Financial Times reported NVIDIA has told cloud clients to sell at least 51% of their services to non-Chinese companies. NVIDIA has removed China data center compute from its outlook, and China revenue including Hong Kong fell to $19.7 billion in fiscal 2026 from $25.0 billion. The stock trades at 17x forward earnings, a five-year low versus a five-year average of 36x.
- AI CEO Warns Chinese Labs Will Use Free Models to “Start Selling Chips” Against Nvidia
Reflection AI CEO Misha Laskin warned that Chinese labs selling open models abroad will also start selling chips and data centers, locking allied nations into Chinese infrastructure; he was describing what he expects, not what has happened. Nvidia already leaves China out of its outlook after China revenue, including Hong Kong, fell to $19.7 billion in fiscal 2026 from $25.0 billion, so the new risk lies in customers outside the US and China, about a fifth of its $215.9 billion fiscal 2026 revenue. Management says supply limits growth through fiscal 2028, but cheaper Chinese compute could later hurt growth and pricing, with gross margin easing to 71.1% in fiscal 2026 from 75.0% in fiscal 2025. The stock trades at 17x forward earnings, its lowest in five years and less than half its 36x average, and the author argues the market already prices in a sharp slowdown after fiscal 2028, so the drop looks like an opportunity.
- Nvidia tells data center partners to limit China sales- FT
According to the Financial Times, citing five people familiar with the matter, Nvidia has told its data center partners to reduce their exposure to Chinese customers. Cloud computing clients must now sell at least 51% of their services to non-Chinese companies, a restriction that did not exist before. The instructions were conveyed verbally through Nvidia's sales force and regional teams rather than in writing. The move complicates AI development for Chinese firms that have leased overseas computing capacity, including for model training, as Washington tightens Chinese access to advanced chips through cloud deals. The report also notes that Nvidia chips have been smuggled into China despite U.S. restrictions since at least 2022, and several senior Super Micro employees were charged earlier this year with smuggling about $2.5 billion worth of Nvidia AI servers to China.
- Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang Reportedly Targeted In Chinese Espionage Plot
Reports say Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was targeted in an alleged Chinese espionage plot. The reported operation has prompted fresh questions from US lawmakers about potential security vulnerabilities in Nvidia's AI chip development. Regulators and legislators are weighing the incident against existing restrictions on Nvidia's advanced AI chip exports to China. The article argues the episode could reinforce Washington's view of Nvidia as critical AI infrastructure, while also potentially hardening support for stricter licensing and oversight of where its top-end platforms are deployed, which could cap part of the addressable market.

- A massive trade just happened in a leading mortgage lender: Watch Options Action Live
After the Democratic wave in the midterms, stocks surged as options traders sold volatility and rotated away from big-tech trades; the S&P 500 rose just under 2% by midday Wednesday, recovering losses from Friday and Monday. The Cboe Volatility index fell about four points to below 17, its biggest one-day drop since at least July, while WTI crude traded below $90 and energy stocks fell 5.6%, the largest decline in the S&P 500. Options on the Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLE) ran at more than three times their 30-day average, with 57% puts, and the top trade was the 62.5-strike put expiring Jan. 15, per SpotGamma data, suggesting a possible gradual reversal in the sector that has been 2026's best performer. Mortgage lender Rocket Companies, which fell almost 50% this year before recovering last month, saw options volume at double its average, with 90% of 110,000 contracts being calls. On the other side, the solar ETF TAN rose another 9% to its highest since July on volume more than five times average, while the semiconductor ETF SMH fell 2.6% to its lowest since May, with 70% of its options volume in puts.
- Voters rebuff data centers in every ballot measure except one during the 2026 midterms
Of 41 local ballot measures in 10 states that would have restricted data center construction, voters sided against data centers in all but one, in Harwood, North Dakota, where the city voted against a charter amendment requiring extra review of industrial developments, including data centers. The result came alongside Democratic wins in Ohio, where Sherrod Brown ousted Republican Sen. Jon Husted and Amy Acton defeated Vivek Ramaswamy, and in Texas, where Gina Hinojosa unseated Gov. Greg Abbott. Ohio is also home to OpenAI's planned 8-gigawatt campus, developed by SoftBank and SB Energy with the U.S. Department of Energy, which could cost more than $500 billion in total, with Nvidia also backstopping the project. In a CNBC Voter Poll, 56% of voters called data centers a crucial or major factor in their decision, with Democrats ranking the issue higher than Republicans. Democrats, including Rep. Greg Casar, are calling for AI executives to testify under oath, as hyperscalers such as Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft and Meta keep spending hundreds of billions of dollars a year on AI infrastructure.

- Salesforce Stock Has Only Done This Twice Before. Here's What History Suggests Happens Next.
Salesforce (CRM) shares fell more than 59% from their all-time high by June 2026, yet a 50% decline is rare for the company: in over 22 years as a public company, the stock has dropped 50% or more only three times, in 2008, 2022 and February 2026. In the first two cases, an investor buying the day after the 50% level was crossed gained 63% (2008) and 44% (2022) over the next 12 months, though the stock fell a further 39% and 16% respectively before bottoming. The article describes these drops as rare structural resets rather than ordinary pullbacks, and says a recovery may already be underway. The 2026 slump stemmed from worries that AI could undermine software-as-a-service (SaaS) business models, while Salesforce continues integrating AI into its products and reported 11% revenue growth in the quarter ended July 31. The author concludes that AI disruption risk should not be dismissed entirely, but patient long-term investors still have reasons to keep Salesforce on their radar.
