- D.A. Davidson Managing Director Gil Luria Delivers His Apple Earnings Takeaways
In an NYSE Live interview, Gil Luria of D.A. Davidson discussed Apple's latest earnings and the wider tech sector. He argued that many AI-linked companies continue to report strong results and demand, and that recent share price weakness reflects election and policy caution more than the core AI business. On data centers, he said public concerns about noise and energy often reflect older designs, and that approvals are typically decided locally. On Apple, he noted signs of slowing iPhone upgrades after a strong prior year and margin pressure from price increases and rising memory costs. He said Apple's ecosystem and installed base still support its long-term position.
- Wall Street Expert Jay Woods: Market 'Doesn't Care About Your Politics'
In an NYSE Live interview, Jay Woods, Chief Market Strategist at Freedom Capital Markets, argues that elections often generate headlines and investor anxiety, but long-term stock performance is driven more by corporate earnings, economic growth and business fundamentals than by political outcomes. He says markets have often posted positive returns in the months after midterm elections as uncertainty fades. In his view, the recent tech-stock pullback mainly reflects profit-taking and portfolio rotation rather than weaker fundamentals. The discussion also covers earnings season, sector rotation, inflation, interest rates and the 2027 outlook, and suggests investors focused on long-term fundamentals may be better positioned than those reacting to political headlines.
- Prediction: This Artificial Intelligence (AI) Software Stock Will Outperform Palantir, According to Wall Street (Hint: It’s Significantly Cheaper)
The article compares Twilio (TWLO) with Palantir (PLTR): Twilio shares are up 46% in 2026, while Palantir has been roughly flat. Analysts' 12-month median price target is 274 USD for Twilio, implying 32% upside, versus 225 USD and 26% for Palantir. Twilio's Q2 revenue rose 20% to 1.56 billion USD and non-GAAP EPS rose 32% to 1.65 USD, both ahead of expectations. Its dollar-based net expansion rate reached 114% in Q3, up 5 percentage points year over year. Because Twilio's valuation is much lower than Palantir's, the article argues it looks like the better option.
- Super Micro Climbs 4% Ahead of Earnings as AI Server Stocks Bounce; Hewlett Packard Enterprise Rallies 6%, Dell Gains 5%
Super Micro Computer shares rose 4% to $31.73 as AI server stocks rebounded from a steep one-month decline, ahead of results due on November 3, though the company has not confirmed the timing. On November 3, Super Micro announced a collaboration with SambaNova to build inference racks pairing SN50 chips with NVIDIA GPUs. Preliminary September-quarter revenue is $18.5 billion to $19.5 billion, above prior guidance of $14.5 billion to $15.5 billion, but gross margin guidance of 10.4% to 10.8% is below the 17.6% adjusted margin of the prior quarter. The company also faces export-control issues, including charges against several senior employees for allegedly smuggling NVIDIA AI servers to China, and an independent board review of certain transactions. Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Dell rose 6% and 5%, but their broader product mix differs from Super Micro's AI-focused model.
- Until Next Gen Computing Implodes I’ll Keep Buying Taiwan Semiconductor
The author has added to Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) after the stock fell 15.69% over the past month to 398.61 USD, arguing that every advanced AI chip is made at TSMC's fabs. Third-quarter revenue reached 46.72 billion USD, up 41.2% in USD terms, and management raised its 2026 growth outlook to about 44%. Gross margin was 66.4%, free cash flow 14.90 billion USD, and the quarterly dividend rose from NT$6.00 to NT$7.00. The author skips NVIDIA, trading at about 41 times earnings, and Intel, whose foundry segment posted a 1.85 billion USD operating loss in Q3. The main risks cited are cross-strait tensions over Taiwan and overseas expansion costs that dilute margins.
- Why Intel Stock Collapsed 23.4% Last Month
Intel shares fell 23.4% in October, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence, and are now down over 50% from their highs. The article attributes the slide mainly to weak PC demand, where revenue fell 5% last quarter and guidance points to more weakness amid rising chip costs. The data center and AI segment grew 78% to 7.3 billion USD, while the foundry business rose 58% to 6.7 billion USD but still loses over 1 billion USD per quarter, short of what investors expect. With a market cap of 329 billion USD and trailing revenue of 60 billion USD (P/S 5.3), the author finds it hard to justify owning the stock at present.
