Arista Networks shares rose 5.7% to $179.59 on Wednesday morning after third-quarter results showed revenue of $3.66 billion, above the $3.33 billion consensus and up 58.5% year over year. Non-GAAP EPS was $1.20 versus a $1.08 estimate, and the company guided fourth-quarter revenue to $3.90–4.00 billion and expects 2027 growth of 38% to 40%. The stock had fallen 13.39% over the past month before the report. The article notes that the effect on an ETF depends on its Arista weighting: XLK held 0.98% of net assets and FTEC 0.84%, while AIQ and QQQ showed no Arista position in their latest holdings reports. The author suggests that investors seeking AI networking exposure through a fund should check its holdings report rather than rely on the “AI” in its name.

- SpaceX Surges on Solid Q3 Beat & Upbeat Outlook: ETFs to Tap
SpaceX shares rose about 9% in extended trading after third-quarter results beat estimates, driven by its AI business and satellite internet. Revenue jumped 161% year over year to $14.58 billion, above the $12.59 billion Zacks consensus, and adjusted EPS was 45 cents versus the Zacks consensus of 11 cents. The AI segment's sales rose ninefold to $7.56 billion and turned profitable with $431 million in operating income, while connectivity revenue grew 69% to $5.25 billion as Starlink subscribers reached 13.6 million. For the first quarter of 2027, the company projected revenue of $33 billion to $37 billion, well above the $22.2 billion analyst average, and Musk said a SpaceX-Tesla merger was attractive but far from certain.
- If the Stock Market Crashes, This Is the First ETF I'm Loading Up On
The article argues that stock markets will eventually crash, and that the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) could be the first ETF the author would add to in such a downturn. QQQ tracks the Nasdaq-100 and holds major names including Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon, Micron Technology, Meta Platforms, Alphabet and Tesla, giving broad exposure to the AI trade. The ETF is up 98% over the past three years, and Nasdaq-100 stocks trade at a blended price-to-earnings ratio of about 30, which the article calls already lofty. It notes QQQ fell 83% after the dot-com bubble burst and about 50% during the financial crisis. The piece also flags risks from heavy losses at frontier AI firms such as OpenAI and Anthropic, and suggests that if AI follows the internet's path, QQQ could be a way to take part in the eventual recovery.
- The AI Rally, Mega-Cap Dominance & What Comes Next
This Zacks ETF Spotlight podcast features Invesco's Christopher Dahlin discussing the AI trade, equal-weight strategies and factor investing. The Magnificent Seven's combined market cap topped $25 trillion last Tuesday, and Nvidia is on track to become the first company to reach a $6 trillion valuation. Nasdaq-100 ETFs QQQ and QQQM have returned more than 175% since October 2022, with Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft and Micron making up over 26% of their holdings. Invesco's RSP, which recently reached $100 billion in AUM, reflects concern about concentration, as the top 10 stocks account for about 40% of the S&P 500. Momentum and high beta have been the strongest factors this year, while low volatility, dividend yield and size have lagged.
- Palantir’s Bookings Worry Is Dragging Down These Widely Held ETFs
Palantir (PLTR) fell 4.89% in Tuesday's regular trading to $169.62 by 10:31 AM ET, despite a third-quarter report that beat estimates on revenue and earnings. Revenue reached $2.313 billion versus a $2.181 billion estimate, up 95.87% year over year, and full-year revenue guidance was raised to $8.530–8.534 billion. However, total contract value (TCV) grew only 6% to $2.918 billion, which management attributed to shorter contract terms. Based on June 30, 2026 portfolio weights, the article estimates the decline trimmed roughly 0.06 percentage points from QQQ's return and about 0.07 from XLK's, which hold PLTR. The author notes that Palantir trades at 252 times earnings, making the stock sensitive to changes in growth expectations.
- Shopify’s Post-Earnings Drop Is Rippling Through Popular ETFs
Shopify (SHOP) shares are down 9.51% in today's regular session, trading at $141.37 as of 10:31 AM ET, after third-quarter results narrowly missed on revenue. Revenue came in at $3.742 billion versus a $3.744 billion consensus, though it rose 31.58% year over year, while adjusted EPS of $0.49 beat the $0.4598 estimate. Gross merchandise volume (GMV) rose 29%, slower than 32% in the second quarter, which the article says is Wall Street's main worry. Invesco QQQ held 25,888,276 Shopify shares worth $2.96 billion as of its June 30, 2026 filing, and the article estimates the drop takes about 0.057 percentage points off QQQ's return.

- Apple reportedly lowers daily AI spending limits for engineers
Apple is cutting employees' AI spending budgets as part of a cost-cutting drive, even as it seeks to put AI at the center of its operations. According to Bloomberg, the daily cap for some engineers fell from $300 to $200 last month and could drop to as low as $100 for some engineering teams; many non-engineering groups already face a $100 cap, which could be reduced to $25. Employees needing higher allowances can seek exemptions from senior leadership, and internal reactions are mixed: some say the old limits were too generous since few used the full $300, while others worry about layoffs. Apple said R&D expenses rose 32% in fiscal 2026 and operating expenses jumped 22% to $75.5 billion, or 16% of net sales. The actual savings from the cuts remain unclear.
- 5 Cheapest AI Data Center Stocks to Buy According to Billionaires
The IEA's October 2026 report estimates hyperscalers will spend over $700 billion on capital investment this year, though constrained power grids, connection queues and slow permitting are obstacles. CBRE's first-half 2026 report found North American primary-market supply rose 33.7% year over year to 10,903 MW, vacancy fell to 1.4%, and 80.4% of capacity under construction was already committed. JLL projects about 100 GW of new capacity from 2026 to 2030, with an estimated $1.2 trillion in real estate investment and $1 trillion to $2 trillion in tenant equipment spending. The IEA expects global data center electricity use to rise from 485 TWh in 2025 to 950 TWh in 2030, but warns equipment shortages and grid limits could slow near-term growth. Among the screened stocks, Western Digital reported fiscal first-quarter revenue of $4.38 billion, up about 55%, with a 58.1% non-GAAP gross margin.
- Shopify Could Be the Best Growth Stock to Buy With $1,000 in November
Shopify closed at a record high of $179.22 per share, a 613% gain from its $25.13 low in 2022, but has since pulled back to about $151. The author believes the company's self-service commerce model is resilient, supported by an ecosystem that includes Shop Pay, Shopify Capital, Shopify Plus, POS systems and AI tools. Revenue grew at a 26% CAGR from 2021 to 2025, the company turned profitable in 2023, and analysts expect revenue and EPS to grow at 28% and 44% CAGRs from 2025 to 2028. The stock trades at 68 times next year's earnings, a premium the author says could be justified by market share gains in enterprise commerce and the high-margin Merchant Solutions segment. The article notes the stock could remain under pressure if inflation stays hot and interest rates stay elevated.
- Lumentum Fell to $750 With Marvell’s Offer Worth $820. Its November 5 Report Tests the Floor
Lumentum agreed to be acquired by Marvell Technology for 4.5 Marvell shares per Lumentum share, a package worth $820 at Marvell's $182 price, while Lumentum fell to $750; the deal is expected to close in the first half of 2028. Lumentum traded at 26x forward earnings, below its five-year average of 30x, and the article says the stock would be about 17% higher at that average multiple than Monday's close. Its September-quarter revenue rose 136.5% to $1.26 billion, adjusted EPS of $4.57 beat its $4.05–$4.35 range, and it guided to $1.575–$1.625 billion revenue for the December quarter. The article identifies the main risk as an easing of the laser shortage, noting the CEO said parts were effectively sold out through early 2029 and that Coherent's report on Wednesday is the first test. Alphabet's Google Cloud revenue rose 103% and Arista guided to 38%–40% growth in 2027, suggesting customers are still spending heavily.
