Walmart is working with Meta to integrate the Muse AI shopping agent into its online retail experience, helping customers plan and complete shopping journeys on Meta's platforms. While Walmart is participating, Amazon has blocked Muse from operating on its marketplace. The article argues this move fits Walmart's strategy of growing higher-margin profit from advertising, marketplace services and membership, and could lift order values and traffic to its marketplace. It also flags risks, including reliance on Meta's rules, greater regulatory scrutiny of AI-driven suggestions, and the possibility that small, unprofitable orders grow if logistics and international e-commerce fail to keep pace.

- Amazon is saying bye-bye to Muse while Walmart is rolling out the welcome mat for Meta's shopping agent
According to The Wall Street Journal, Amazon blocked Meta's new Muse AI shopping agent from purchasing items on its platform, citing safety concerns, while Walmart and Shopify struck deals with Meta around Muse. Meta launched Muse in September, and says more than 10 million people in the U.S. and Canada set up Muse agents in its first month and a half. Amazon's advertising business generated almost $70 billion in revenue last year, and could face pressure as AI agents take over more purchasing decisions and sponsored placements lose influence. CEO Andy Jassy has downplayed the threat, saying shopping through external AI agents isn't yet convenient, while noting Alexa for Shopping was used by more than 400 million people in the last year. Amazon has not ruled out working with outside AI agents.
- Amazon and Walmart's $74 Billion Ad Market Faces an AI Test
According to Emarketer, Amazon and Walmart together control an estimated 88% of the $74.4 billion U.S. retail media ad market. Morgan Stanley experts project that by 2030, AI shopping assistants could account for 10% to 20% of U.S. e-commerce spending, letting consumers outsource product searches and purchases and potentially limiting their exposure to sponsored items on retailer websites. Amazon has stayed tight-lipped and is battling other third-party shopping agents, while Walmart lets external agents connect to its platform with customer consent. Amazon's ad revenue grew 11% in the third quarter, its slowest rise in almost four years, and CEO Andy Jassy said third-party agents have not had any meaningful effect on advertising.
- Walmart (WMT) Joins Meta's AI Commerce Push as Retailers Explore Agentic Shopping
Burke Wealth Management's Q3 2026 investor letter for its Focused Growth Strategy reports a 10.8% net composite return, versus 2.3% for the S&P 500 Total Return Index, and a 20.0% year-to-date return against 12.7% for the benchmark. Burke partly attributes the strength to a sharp recovery in enterprise software, which it sees as a platform connecting AI models with proprietary business data, while cautioning that AI agents could challenge traditional software business models and seat-based pricing. In the same letter, Burke points to Meta's Muse partnerships with 20 large retailers, including Walmart, to help jump-start retailers' move toward agentic shopping. Walmart closed at about $119.89 on October 23, 2026, with a market capitalization of about $954.07 billion and a one-month return of 10.74%. The article also notes that 111 hedge fund portfolios held Walmart at the end of the second quarter, up from 99 in the previous quarter.
- 1 Number That Should Concern Every Amazon Investor
Amazon's third-quarter revenue rose 12% year over year and operating income rose 61%, driven largely by AWS, whose sales grew nearly 40% to $46 billion, its fastest pace in almost five years. Yet online store sales rose only 2% and third-party sales 9%, a marked slowdown; together, online and third-party sales were $115 billion of the $201.9 billion total. The article notes Amazon holds 40.5% of U.S. e-commerce according to Statista, and it keeps expanding ultrafast delivery and grocery offerings. Walmart's global sales rose 23% in the fiscal second quarter ended July 31, with U.S. sales up 24%, and its U.S. e-commerce share climbed from 6.7% to 9.2%. The author argues investors should not overlook e-commerce even as Amazon keeps investing heavily in AI.
- If a Stock Market Crash Comes in November, You'll Rest Easy Owning This 50-Year Dividend King
The article presents Walmart as a defensive stock because it is the largest U.S. supermarket chain, with more than 5,700 stores including Sam's Club, and one store is within 10 miles of 90% of the population. Its e-commerce sales rose 23% year over year in fiscal second quarter 2027, the 10th consecutive quarter of U.S. e-commerce growth above 20%, while Statista estimates its market share at 9.2% versus Amazon's 40.5%. The stock is up about 12% year to date, and management raised full-year guidance from a 4% growth midpoint to 4.5%. The article highlights Walmart's 53 consecutive years of dividend increases as a source of income during downturns, and says the stock beat the broader market in the 2000 and 2008 crashes.
- Walmart's $120 Walmart+ and Sam's Club Plus bundle undercuts Amazon Prime's $139 fee with gas, grocery and more perks
Walmart has launched a bundle of Walmart+ and Sam's Club Plus for $120 a year, below Amazon Prime's $139 annual fee. The package includes free shipping and same-day delivery, $0.10 off per gallon of gas at over 17,000 participating stations, a choice of Paramount+ Essential or Peacock streaming, and Sam's Club benefits such as 2% Sam's Cash back on select purchases. Walmart has about 280 million weekly shoppers, while Sam's Club has some 60 to 65 million paying members. Kinshuk Jerath, a business professor at Columbia University, told Inc. that the bundle makes Sam's Club a stronger competitor to Costco and Walmart a stronger competitor to Amazon. The article notes that Amazon has a broader product range through its many third-party vendors, while Walmart wins in grocery.

- Voters Just Made Microsoft's Data Centers More Valuable, a Wall Street Veteran Says
Microsoft closed at a record $555.80 on Nov. 4, up 6.68% and adding about $259 billion in market value, after midterm results in which voters rejected data center projects in all but one of 41 local measures. Investors expect limits on new construction to make existing capacity scarcer and more valuable, though Art Hogan of B. Riley notes that a slower build-out also means slower capital spending. In Texas, Democrat Gina Hinojosa defeated Governor Greg Abbott after calling for a halt to new data center approvals, and Goldman Sachs estimated that states likely to tighten rules account for about 45% of planned U.S. capacity. Microsoft reported $45.2 billion in capital expenditures and $18.6 billion in cash flow, unlike rival cloud giants that have turned cash-flow negative. The article warns that if the limits stick, slower spending could slow Azure's 48% growth.
- Banks are turning cautious on lending, according to the Fed. What it means for the economy
A new Federal Reserve survey, published Nov. 2, shows U.S. banks tightening lending standards in the third quarter, particularly for smaller businesses, riskier households and commercial property. The survey covered 61 domestic banks and 18 U.S. branches of foreign lenders. Banks tightened standards on premiums charged on riskier loans for firms of all sizes, as well as on nonbank financial firms such as private equity funds. For households, mortgage standards were broadly unchanged, while tighter rules for subprime loans contrasted with some easing for jumbo mortgages. The 10-year Treasury yield hit an intraday high of 5.349% on Oct. 5, its highest since April 2002, and a separate Fed survey found the share of families behind on loan payments reached almost 20% at the end of 2025, up from about 12% in 2022.
- Apple Stock Is Up 22%, but 1 Slowing Business Could Test That Valuation
Apple stock is up about 22% this year through Nov. 3, roughly double the S&P 500's 11% gain, pushing its valuation to about 38 times earnings. Services, the high-margin business that has helped justify that premium, grew 10% year over year in the fiscal fourth quarter, down from about 12%, and management expects 8% to 9% in fiscal 2027 Q1, citing licensing headwinds and currency shifts. Services carried a 76% gross margin and made up 40% of gross profit. Total revenue rose 15% in fiscal 2026 to a record $479 billion, and Apple expects the holiday quarter to be its best for revenue ever. If services growth falls short of the 8% to 9% forecast, the article argues the premium valuation could be harder to justify.
- Snap Tumbles 11% as User Growth Miss and Sluggish Ad Sales Overshadow Return to Profit; Pinterest Dips, Meta Holds Steady
Snap swung to a profit in Q3, with net income of $56 million against a $104 million net loss a year earlier, but its revenue of $1.72 billion came in slightly below the $1.73 billion consensus and daily active users of 495 million missed the 499 million estimate. Subscriptions drove growth: other revenue jumped 84% and paid subscribers passed 30 million, while advertising revenue rose only 4%. CEO Evan Spiegel said ad revenue growth “remains below our ambitions,” and the company tied a decline in brand advertising to lower consumer packaged goods spending. Starting with Q1 2027 results, Snap will make monthly active users its main audience metric; it reported 977 million MAUs in Q3, while North America daily active users fell 6% year over year. Shares fell 11% to $5.30 in morning trading, while Pinterest was down 0.5% and Meta up 0.2%.
- Nvidia Just Dipped Below $200 for the First Time Since August
Nvidia closed at $200.13 after an intraday low of $199.68, its first trade below $200 since August 3, even as the S&P 500 gained 1.58%. The stock fell 3.17% as Big Tech rallied on Democrats' midterm wins, with investors seeing possible limits on new data center construction as a risk to chip demand. Apple's $5.10 trillion market value passed Nvidia's, which had been the world's largest company a day earlier. The consensus price target of $327.14 implies about 63.5% upside, and Nvidia guided third-quarter revenue to $108.0 billion, plus or minus 2%, with results due November 17. The shares remain about 16.3% below their October 6 record close of $239.24.
- Vistra Cratered by 25% This Year: One Wall Street Team Says 110% Returns Ahead for Investors
Vistra trades at $120.24 after falling 13.86% in the latest session to a 52-week low of $117.28, and is down 25.13% this year. CEO Jim Burke said ERCOT wholesale prices near $30 per MWh are too low to support new plants, and CFO Kris Moldovan said 2027 adjusted EBITDA is trending toward the lower end of the $7.4 billion to $7.8 billion range. Second-quarter revenue of $4.02 billion missed consensus by 27.24%, partly due to a $472 million unrealized hedge loss. Hyperscaler deals still support the story: Meta signed 20-year PPAs for more than 2,600 MW at Vistra’s PJM nuclear sites, and AWS contracted up to 1,200 MW at Comanche Peak. Against a consensus target of $204.32 implying about 69.9% upside, BNP Paribas Exane’s Street-high target of $255.00 implies roughly 112% upside, while skeptics note hedge coverage falls to about 72% in 2028.
