Gil said the just-reported quarter looks good, but investors will focus on guidance for the next quarter. He noted this may be the last quarter of the iPhone upgrade cycle, which he called the biggest in five years, so unit sales could decline even though Apple raised prices to offset this. He also warned that memory chips bought at lower prices earlier may pressure gross margins as costs rise. Gil said the Duo, priced at $2,000, was likely at the low end of the prices considered, and is seen as the first big hardware launch under CEO John Turnus.

- How Tesla and SpaceX stocks are reacting to Democrats winning Congress
Defiance ETFs CIO Sylvia Jablonski said the immediate pre-market reaction in Tesla (TSLA) and SpaceX (SPCX) shares to Democratic midterm wins is still early and could change. She suggested that a possible merger between the two Musk companies could be fast-tracked, since it would need to happen within the next two years, before a deal would face closer review. Some House Oversight Committee members have said they plan to call Elon Musk, Dario Amodei, Mark Zuckerberg and Sam Altman to testify, though she doubted such hearings would move stock prices unless they uncover damaging information. She cited Boeing and Facebook as examples where public pressure led to change, and noted that government funding runs out on December 11.
- Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) Outperforms with Record Quarter Driven by Azure Demand Surge
The Polen 5Perspectives Large Growth Composite returned 0.0% in Q3 2026, trailing the Russell 1000 Growth Index's 0.9%, as AI equities sold off amid concerns over hyperscaler capex and crowded trades. In its investor letter, the fund said its underweight position in Microsoft detracted from relative performance as the shares gained roughly 39% in the quarter, the stock's best quarter since 1991. The rally followed fiscal fourth-quarter results in which Azure and other cloud services revenue grew 43% year over year, Azure surpassed $100 billion in annual revenue for the first time, and Microsoft 365 Copilot passed 30 million paid seats. MSFT closed at $520.99 on November 3, 2026, with a market capitalization of $3.88 trillion. Microsoft ranked second on a list of 40 most popular hedge fund stocks, held by 273 hedge fund portfolios at the end of Q2 versus 282 in the prior quarter.
- What sets AMD data centers apart as Intel stock keeps sliding?
AMD beat Wall Street estimates for its third-quarter earnings, as AI data center revenue nearly doubled to $8.55 billion. Guests said Intel posted strong data center numbers but weak PC sales, and its stock plunged, while AMD's forward guidance, contracts, backlog and margins were seen as stronger. Revenue could grow 80% in 2027, up from an earlier estimate of 35%. They noted that higher memory prices and component costs were hurting PC demand, with 2027 PC shipments projected to fall by a double-digit percentage and gaming sales down 8% year-on-year. Commentators compared AMD's focus on data centers to Nvidia's shift from gaming chips to AI.
- Nvidia Is Telling Cloud Clients to Sell at Least 51% to Non-Chinese Customers
According to the Financial Times, Nvidia has quietly told its cloud partners that at least 51% of their services must go to non-Chinese customers, an unwritten rule conveyed through its sales force that applies only to future contracts. Nvidia neither confirmed nor denied the report, and its statement did not mention China. The move targets Chinese companies that rent computing power outside China to train AI models, a route Washington has tried to close for years, and the cost falls on smaller neocloud providers that rely on Chinese demand. According to the company's latest 10-Q, direct customers headquartered in China, including Hong Kong, generated $7,880 million of the $96,221 million in revenue for the quarter ended July 26, 2026. Its fiscal third-quarter guidance of $108.0 billion, plus or minus 2%, excludes any data center compute revenue from China, and results are scheduled for November 17.
- Dow Jones futures surge 1,000 points after Democratic win, Trump makes surprising new move
Dow Jones futures jumped as much as 1,083 points, or 2.1%, after Democrats won majorities in both the House and Senate in the midterm elections and took several key governorships, including Texas. The result could curb President Trump's policies, which combined business tax cuts with tariffs and the war in Iran, contributing to higher inflation. S&P 500 futures rose 1.1%, while Nasdaq-100 gained only 0.4% as AI-linked stocks came under pressure. Trump told the New York Times he was “fully prepared” to accept the results and said he and Republican lawmakers would work with Democrats, while Walmart rose 2%, Bank of America 1.9%, UnitedHealth 1.4% and Molina Healthcare 6.3%. Investors remain wary of possible restrictions on data center construction, as Gina Hinojosa, who pledged to pause new data center projects, won the Texas governor's race.
- What i-80 Gold (IAU) Said on Its Q3 Earnings Call
i-80 Gold said the feasibility study for Granite Creek Underground is complete, outlining an 8.5-year mine life, while Archimedes is set to begin mining in Q4 2026. The Lone Tree refurbishment is on schedule for first gold in Q4 2027, with its $430 million capital estimate largely intact. The company expects production to rise from 40,000–50,000 ounces annually to 150,000–200,000 ounces from 2028, with 2026 output in the lower half of guidance. In Q3, Granite Creek produced about 9,100 ounces of gold, though processing lagged mining due to limited availability at a third-party processor. At quarter-end, the company held about $411 million in cash and could access up to roughly $350 million in additional liquidity over the next 18 months, subject to financing arrangements and approvals.
