Equity market at risk of severe crash
US equity markets are extremely elevated with money continuously pouring in, as seen in Google's debt sale, creating a setup for a severe crash when sentiment eventually shifts.
SPY LOW
Mandeep Singh Senior Analyst, Bloomberg Intelligence 35:32
Alphabet margins expand with own TPUs
Alphabet is aggressively raising capex, plans a significant increase for next year, and its vertical integration with own TPUs allows better monetization and expanding margins relative to other hyperscalers that rely on NVIDIA chips, making it a strong beneficiary in AI infrastructure.
GOOGL HIGH
Mandeep Singh Senior Analyst, Bloomberg Intelligence 38:27
AI infra spend lifts chip and memory revenue
AI infrastructure build-out is driving tangible revenue acceleration for chipmakers, memory producers, and cloud providers due to insatiable demand for compute, making the semiconductor space a sustained winner.
SOXX HIGH
Emily Graffeo Anchor, Bloomberg 47:23
Honeywell Aerospace guidance slash disappoints
Honeywell Aerospace's first independent earnings disappointed drastically with revenue growth of only 4-5% versus prior guidance of 7-9%, led to a guidance slash and a record stock drop, signaling fundamental trouble.
