Fiserv jumped 12.46% after beating expectations and raising its annual cost-savings targets, while AMD rose over 9% after hours on strong data center demand. Shopify fell sharply after its first revenue miss in four years, and Gartner dropped 13.19% on slower subscription growth. The article says earnings were the main market driver, though investors remain cautious about AI valuations and revenue.
- AI Rebound Loses Steam. Chip Stocks Reverse Gains.
The rebound in AI-related trading was short-lived, as major indexes pulled back from highs reached earlier in the session. Chip stocks also reversed their earlier gains.
- The Nasdaq 100 Briefly Fell Into a Correction as the AI Trade Cracks
The Nasdaq-100 briefly fell below the correction line (10% below its October 6 record close of 31,224.47) during the October 30, 2026 session as chip stocks slumped, but climbed back above it before the close and finished down 3.46% at 28,384.85. Intel fell 28.6% after guiding fourth-quarter revenue to $15–16 billion, below the $16.5 billion just reported, and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index dropped 7.2%. NVIDIA fell 4.2% to $204.64 and Invesco QQQ lost 3.47%, while the VIX closed at 19.41 after touching 23.93, suggesting selling eased by the close. Investors are questioning whether hundreds of billions of dollars in AI data center spending will pay off, though Amazon still expects roughly $220 billion in 2026 capex. It is the third time in 2026 the index has fallen more than 10% below a record; the two earlier breaks reversed into new records, and the key level to watch is a close below 28,093.24.
- AI chip sell-off is ‘unmoored from fundamentals,’ LYNX says
The Nasdaq Composite fell 2.6% on Thursday as tech stocks sold off sharply, and LYNX Equity Strategies said the decline went beyond fundamentals. CPU stocks fell around 8% despite Meta's upbeat outlook for user growth on its Muse AI platform, while Lam Research plunged 12% after disappointing earnings and guidance. LYNX pointed to political uncertainty ahead of the US midterm elections as a potential catalyst, and the 10-year Treasury yield fell nearly 20 basis points as investors took profit-taking on strong positions and sought safety in government bonds. The firm views AI semiconductor valuations as heavily distorted but expects a snapback only after the midterms.
- Sharp drops for AI stocks overwhelm markets worldwide as oil prices jump
Sharp declines in AI stocks pulled markets lower worldwide on Thursday, while oil prices rose to their highest since May on worries about the war with Iran.

Lam Research dropped 11.8% despite slightly stronger quarterly profit and revenue, Meta lost 7% despite revenue beating expectations, Nvidia fell 4.4%, and CoreWeave dropped 10.1% on debt worries. Asian markets also slid, with South Korea’s Kospi down 3.5%, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng down 3% and Japan’s Nikkei 225 down 2.7%, while Brent crude rose 4% to $113.17 a barrel. U.S. 10-year Treasury yields tumbled to 4.97% from 5.13% as investors sought safer government bonds.
- Chip stocks break a bear trap after a $2.6 trillion rout — here are the levels bulls need to hold
The PHLX Semiconductor Index (^SOX) is down about 3% after dipping to 11,000, a support level that has rescued chip stocks twice since September, so the bear-trap rebound only holds if that floor does. Since Oct. 6, all 60 stocks in Yahoo Finance's chip basket have fallen, erasing about $2.7 trillion in market value; Lam Research and Applied Materials are each down nearly 30%, AMD nearly 20%, and Nvidia 9%. Lam fell despite record revenue because it said supply limits would cap its outlook and China sales would be “meaningfully down” in December. The Nasdaq 100 is down about 6% over the same period. The article flags 10,450–10,550 as the zone to watch if 11,000 breaks, and 12,600–12,700 as the level bulls must reclaim, while semiconductor ETFs saw record flows over the past week.

- Amazon and Google Could Outperform Nvidia as AI Trade Enters New Phase, Says Joseph Carlson
YouTube investor Joseph Carlson argues that Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) could outperform Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) as AI investors move from companies selling hardware to those turning it into revenue. His view comes a day after Democrats swept Congress, and data-center critics also notched key wins.
- Fewer Families Own Stocks Directly, 19.0% in 2025, but Their Typical Holding Jumped 83% to $30,000
The Federal Reserve's newest Survey of Consumer Finances shows the share of families directly holding individual stocks fell from 21.0% in 2022 to 19.0% in 2025. Among families that still held shares, the median holding rose 83%, from $16,400 to $30,000 in 2025 dollars, while the mean was $524,300 because a few large portfolios pull it up. The article cites rising stock prices and a possible factor that families leaving the market tended to have smaller accounts, alongside heavy concentration: the top 1% by wealth held 50.9% of household corporate equities and mutual funds in Q2 2026, versus 0.6% for the bottom 50%. For retirees holding individual stocks, the article flags concentrated positions, underestimated overall stock exposure, and capital gains taxes that can keep concentrated holdings in place longer than planned.
- Sandisk Sinks 14%, Micron Down 10% as a Top Phone Chipmaker Blames Weak Sales on “Industry-Wide Memory Dynamics”
Sandisk (SNDK) fell 14%, Micron (MU) 10% and Seagate (STX) 12% after Qualcomm (QCOM), a top phone chipmaker, reported handset chip revenue down 26% to $5.14 billion in the quarter to Sept. 27, citing industry-wide memory dynamics. Sandisk's own Edge revenue, from phones, PCs and cars, rose 320% year over year despite 20% fewer exabytes shipped, as price drove results. Analysts still expect Sandisk's normalized EPS to more than triple to $227.80 in fiscal 2027, with multiyear contracts supporting a gross margin of about 80%. The shares trade at 4.4x forward earnings, the lowest in a year and below the 10.8x average, and the author says the selloff has run ahead of the damage.
- SK hynix Sinks 9% as Qualcomm’s 26% Handset Plunge Deepens Memory Chip Rout
SK hynix (SKHY) fell 9% after Qualcomm (QCOM) reported handset chip sales down 26% to $5.14 billion in the quarter ended Sept. 27. Qualcomm said chip costs, memory included, are rising and it is raising its own prices to match, and it expects a flat handset market in 2027. Higher memory prices lifted SK hynix's gross margin from 57.4% in the quarter to September 2025 to 85.7% a year later, mainly on conventional DRAM used in phones and PCs. Apple reported a record September-quarter iPhone result, but its inventories more than doubled to $14.5 billion, which the author reads as stocking up before memory prices rose further. SK hynix trades at 2.9x forward earnings, and contracts with 14 customers cover over half of its planned 2027-2028 capacity, though most prices are still set monthly or quarterly.
- Deputy PM: No mandatory requirement for people and businesses to switch to pure electric vehicles
The Government Office issued Dispatch No. 11281/VPCP-CN dated 5/11/2026 to the Ministry of Construction, conveying Deputy Prime Minister Phạm Gia Túc's directives on refining the Strategy for Transport Services Development to 2035, with a vision to 2050, and the Action Programme on green energy transition and greenhouse gas emission reduction in transport. The Ministry of Construction is tasked with leading the work, incorporating General Secretary and State President Tô Lâm's guidance on national logistics, and reporting to the Prime Minister before 15/11/2026. The Deputy PM stressed there will be no mandatory requirement or compulsory timetable for vehicle owners, people and businesses to switch to pure electric or other green vehicles, particularly road motor vehicles. Instead, measures will encourage a voluntary transition suited to economic and social conditions and transport infrastructure.
- Elon Musk faces a new $28.5 trillion problem after Texas upset
Shares of Space Exploration Technologies (SPCX) fell 5.5% and Tesla dropped 5.1% after Democrats won the U.S. midterm elections, raising concerns about regulatory scrutiny and possible delays to expansion of AI infrastructure. In Texas, where Musk has major operations, Gina Hinojosa defeated Republican Gov. Greg Abbott and has proposed suspending new data-center projects until stronger protections on electricity costs, water use and community concerns are in place, a move particularly relevant to SpaceX's plan to raise AI computing capacity from 1.7 gigawatts at the end of September to as much as 3 gigawatts by year-end and 13 gigawatts in 2027. Musk spent nearly $500 million supporting Republican candidates and political groups, and Democratic lawmakers may examine his government contracts and his earlier role in the Department of Government Efficiency. No statewide data-center moratorium has been enacted yet, and the financial impact remains uncertain.
