Meta is spending so much on AI that it just burned cash for the first time in over a decade. Is the market losing patience with the AI bill?

• Spending beats cash: Meta keeps raising its AI budget, and this quarter the spending ate all the cash its business brought in, and more.
• Chips crashed: Chip stocks had their worst day since June, falling 6.7%.
• Asia followed: Korean and Japanese stocks fell again on Friday, led by chipmakers.

In short

AI demand is still there, but investors now want proof the spending pays off.

TSMC just booked another record quarter. So why are AI stocks still falling?

• Orders are booming: TSMC says demand for AI chips is still strong, and its sales jumped 41% from a year ago.
• Debt is the worry: Investors are nervous about how debt-heavy AI cloud firms like CoreWeave will pay for all this.
• Huang steps in: Nvidia's boss backed CoreWeave and its stock bounced, but its credit risk still hit a record.

In short

The AI boom has the orders. The market now wants proof someone can fund them.

Watch for

upcoming Big Tech earnings and their spending plans.

Q3 2026 results reported 15 Oct: revenue NT$1,494B / US$46.72B (+50.9% YoY in NTD, +41.2% in USD); net profit +68.7% to US$23.9B. High-Performance Computing (AI + cloud chips) = 68% of wafer revenue. 2nm = 8% already. Q4 guidance $52.3–$54.3B. Gross margin 66.4% (vs 67.7% in Q2, slight dip from 2nm ramp costs). Beat consensus EPS of $4.45 with $4.60

TSMC just posted a record quarter, but Asia's chip stocks crashed anyway. Is the AI trade starting to crack?

• Big beat: TSMC's sales topped even the high end of its own forecast, and profit jumped nearly 70%.
• Seoul halts trading: South Korea's KOSPI fell about 8% and triggered a trading halt, as Samsung and SK hynix sank.
• Who pays?: Analysts in Seoul say the worry is whether the money raised to fund AI spending can keep flowing.

In short

AI demand is still strong, but markets are starting to worry about the bill.

Watch for

TSMC's outlook for next quarter on today's earnings call.

Anthropic's IPO filing just revealed a loan of up to $42 billion from its own chip supplier, Broadcom. Is AI now growing on its suppliers' money?

• The loan: Broadcom will lend Anthropic money to rent Broadcom's own chips, and the loan can turn into Anthropic shares.
• Biggest IPO ever?: Anthropic could list as soon as mid-November, at a valuation reported as high as $2 trillion.
• The reaction: Broadcom shares fell on Thursday, and Anthropic itself flagged possible conflicts of interest.

In short

The AI boom is real, but the chip sellers are now helping pay part of the bill.

Watch for

Anthropic's IPO marketing, starting the week of November 9.

Chips: Meta's new AI agent Muse hit number one on the App Store, and the chipmakers that build CPUs, like AMD and Intel, jumped double digits.

• The bill: SoftBank is selling more than $11 billion of junk bonds just to pay its next installment into OpenAI.
• Washington: Treasury says AI companies get no legal shield, and a Fed official says AI data center building may be adding to inflation.
• What to watch: Thursday, when SoftBank prices its bond and Trump meets Xi with AI on the table.

In short

the AI rally is real, but it is now paid for with junk bonds and watched by the Fed.

Watch for

The people building AI just asked to slow AI down, and chip stocks took the hit. Here is why it matters for your portfolio.

• Slow down, on purpose: Anthropic's CEO says the industry must pace how fast models get more capable, and OpenAI's Sam Altman agreed. Not a pause, a speed limit, with outside evaluators checking.
• Chips got sold: Monday was the worst day for chip stocks since July. Nvidia, SK Hynix, ASML and SoftBank all fell hard, and Korea's market followed.
• Washington says no: Trump's answer is "whoever wins AI wins." No law is coming soon, so the slowdown stays voluntary for now.

In short

the AI trade just got its first real "what if we slow down" test, and it did not like it.

release notes, 11 Sep

Hi everyone!

• The most valuable company on earth just doubled its revenue in a year. Then it said next year is even bigger. Is anyone still calling this a bubble?
• The quarter: Nvidia made $96.2 billion in three months, more than double a year ago, and Data Center was almost all of it.
• The first-ever guide: the company has never forecast a year ahead. This time it did, and the number was 70% growth.

In short

Nvidia stopped arguing about whether AI demand is real and just published the number.

Watch for

the next quarter, guided to $108 billion, which would be the first $100 billion quarter ever.

Hi everyone!

• Nvidia reports tonight after seven straight down days. Is the AI trade cracking, or are its customers just running low on cash?
• The streak: Nvidia fell for a seventh straight session on Monday, its longest losing run in years.
• The real worry: Nvidia leans on a small group of hyperscalers, and those customers' cash generation went the wrong way last quarter.

In short

demand is not the question tonight. Who can still pay for it is.

Watch for
