Meta's $25 billion stock sale ended five times oversubscribed, with Nvidia investing $3 billion and AMD $1 billion

Meta's $25 billion stock sale ended five times oversubscribed, per Bloomberg. Nvidia said it will invest $3 billion in Meta's equity offering as Meta expands deployment of Nvidia infrastructure, including Vera Rubin and Vera CPUs. AMD will invest $1 billion as it expands its Meta partnership, per the Wall Street Journal, which describes the offering as part of Meta's plan to raise up to $95 billion through stock sales.

Nvidia lowered Vera Rubin's listed HBM4 bandwidth to 19.2 TB/s from 22 TB/s, about 13%

@svtrivo notes that Vera Rubin's per-GPU HBM4 bandwidth on Nvidia's datasheet went from 22 TB/s to 19.2 TB/s, with capacity at 288GB and NVFP4 compute unchanged. Their interpretation, not an Nvidia statement, is that a lower pin target widens the pool of stacks that pass qualification and gives Micron an easier bar. @damnang2 says AMD's MI455X now leads per-GPU HBM bandwidth by 21%.

NVDA -0.5% · AMD -2.4% · MU -2.6%

Boeing shares fell 10% after it cut its delivery goal, while third-quarter revenue beat estimates

Boeing reported third-quarter revenue of $24.19 billion versus $23.84 billion expected and free cash flow of $464 million, while adjusted core EPS of -$0.34 missed the -$0.21 estimate. Reuters reported that Boeing will not reach its 737 production target until early 2027, and the shares extended their drop to 10% after it cut its delivery goal. The CEO said Boeing still lacks FAA authorization to complete 777X flight test certification.

Morgan Stanley's Mike Wilson sees the semiconductor index another 10% to 15% lower into mid-November

Wilson calls the equity correction a late-stage midcycle transition rather than the start of a prolonged bear market, but says the index may still need one more drawdown. He names three clearing events: AI-related supply and credit concerns, the midterm elections and tightening liquidity. He sees the semiconductor index another 10% to 15% lower into mid-November and is constructive on buying a sharp downdraft in quality names.

Themes of the session

?
Z-score shows how far this edition's mention count is above or below the theme's own average across 20 comparable earlier editions. +2.7σ means mentions are 2.7 standard deviations above that average — simply, the theme is being mentioned much more often than usual. It measures attention, not bullishness or expected return. Themes need at least 8 posts; gold begins at +2σ, and σ is hidden when history is too thin.
