Alphabet fell more than 12% in one day, and several technology heavyweights are 20%-30% below their 2026 closing highs. That has brought the familiar buying-the-dip question back into focus. Tiger's view: It is reasonable to start screening profitable companies after these pullbacks, but there is not enough evidence to declare a bottom across technology stocks. Prices, earnings and cash flow need to be assessed together—and historical recoveries show why the time horizon matters. 01 | Stock-level selloffs and index drawdowns differ On October 29, the Nasdaq Composite closed at 26,184.72, down 1.38%. The Nasdaq-100 fell 1.38%, while the S&P 500 lost 0.30%. GOOGL dropped 12.64%, Amazon fell 4.25%, Microsoft slipped just 0.16%, and Meta rose 1.96%. The performance was sharply divided. [1]

Memory chips, oil prices, Treasury yields and corporate earnings can seem like separate stories. Their connections become clearer when you trace how demand becomes revenue—and how much of that revenue ultimately turns into cash. Focus on the sources of growth, the spending needed to support it, and the cash left over. Valuation then helps explain why companies exposed to the same theme can offer different opportunities and risks. Here are the nine themes in our accompanying graphic, with a closer look at what to track. 01 | Memory: Read demand, pricing and capacity together For AI-related memory demand, watch whether orders become revenue, whether pricing supports margins, and when new capacity comes online. The relative pace of demand growth and supply expansion helps determine how long f

AI infrastructure spending is showing up in storage companies’ financial results. $Seagate Technology PLC(STX)$ $SK hynix(SKHY)$ On October 28, SK Hynix released its third-quarter 2026 earnings. Seagate reported its fiscal first-quarter 2027 results after the U.S. market closed on October 27. Both companies delivered strong operating results. Their shares reacted differently: reports captured SK Hynix’s Korean-listed shares rising nearly 3% during the session, while Seagate fell approximately 6% in after-hours trading. What stands out to me is that demand for memory and mass-capacity storage is translating into revenue, profitability and cash flow. Investors now have to asse

Anthropic, the company behind Claude, has put its IPO plans in front of public-market investors. The company publicly filed its S-1 on October 26 and intends to list on Nasdaq under the symbol “ANT.” The initial prospectus still leaves the offering price range blank. Filing for an IPO does not mean the shares have begun trading. (SEC filing) Two reported financial figures stand out. According to CNBC’s coverage of the prospectus, Anthropic generated $16.29 billion in revenue in the first half of 2026, up 1,304% year over year, while reporting a net loss of $80.7 billion. How can revenue rise so quickly alongside such a large loss? A central part of the explanation is approximately $72 billion in accounting charges related to changes in the value of convertible notes. (CNBC’s financial brea

Elon Musk has raised a question for AI infrastructure investors: if demand keeps growing, why might some cloud providers struggle to survive? In an X post on October 25 U.S. time, Musk said debt markets had largely closed to companies without substantial revenue outside AI data centers. He said SpaceX had completed $40 billion in GPU debt financing, pointing to what he described as its investment-grade credit standing and revenue from Starlink and rocket launches. He then predicted widespread failures and consolidation among more than 200 neocloud companies, with relatively few making it through. Those statements about financing conditions, the number of providers, and their prospects are Musk’s assessment—not independently verified industry-wide findings. He did not specify a failure rate

One of the strongest themes in U.S. software stocks this week came from cybersecurity. Following a U.S. government warning about critical PHP vulnerabilities, Palo Alto Networks climbed roughly 7%, Zscaler gained 7.8%, and CrowdStrike rose 5.2%. The Amplify Cybersecurity ETF advanced 3.2%, while First Trust’s cybersecurity ETF gained 2.7%. (CNBC) The immediate catalyst: two vulnerabilities dubbed “php2shell,” tracked as CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619. PHP powers a large number of websites and web applications, including much of the WordPress and Drupal ecosystems. According to the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, or CISA, the flaws could allow unauthenticated attackers to execute code remotely and affect all PHP installations serving web requests. CISA urged orga

Hong Kong technology stocks accelerated their decline today. As of 10:57 a.m. HKT, the Hang Seng TECH Index was down 4.3% at 3,823, after touching an intraday low of 3,819. The index had already fallen below 4,000 in the previous session, while all 30 constituents traded lower at one point today. $TENCENT(00700)$Tencent fell below HK$400, with Alibaba, NetEase and several AI-related stocks also under significant pressure. (Hang Seng Indexes) It would be easy to describe this as another decline in risk appetite. The more important shift, however, is that investors are changing how they value Chinese technology companies: Previously, announcing higher AI investment was enough to support valuations. Now the market wants to know when

SpaceX delivered a blowout third-quarter report. Revenue reached $14.58 billion, up 161% year over year, while net income came in at $4.4 billion versus a $1.1 billion loss a year earlier. Shares jumped about 8% in after-hours trading. The biggest surprise was not rockets or Starlink. SpaceX’s Super Intelligence segment generated $7.56 billion in revenue, up 830% year over year. It has now surpassed Connectivity to become the company’s largest business. AI infrastructure, cloud services, Grok and Cursor are rapidly changing what SpaceX represents to investors. (SpaceX earnings release) During the earnings call, Elon Musk added another major catalyst: He said combining Tesla and SpaceX would be “a good idea.” Both companies have formed special committees to discuss a potential transaction,

The AI trade is facing one of its biggest tests yet. Last week, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index fell roughly 11%, as investors grew increasingly concerned about AI infrastructure financing, elevated valuations and whether massive capital spending could eventually generate sufficient returns. Yet just as Wall Street begins questioning the economics of AI, Meta is preparing to report its Q3 earnings on October 21. And the company has already outlined an extraordinary spending plan: $130 billion to $145 billion in capital expenditures for 2026. That creates an interesting contradiction. AI infrastructure stocks are getting punished for spending too much, while Meta is preparing to defend one of the largest AI investment programs in the industry. So the real question going into earnings i

After nearly nine years of waiting, Tesla has finally unveiled its next-generation Roadster. And this time, it is not just another electric supercar. At an October 15 event in Texas, Tesla demonstrated a Roadster equipped with SpaceX-developed thruster technology, capable of briefly lifting off the ground, performing aerial maneuvers and even driving upside down using a specialized suction system. The company also showcased a 0–60 mph acceleration time of just 0.81 seconds and claimed a potential top speed exceeding 230 mph. Those are extraordinary numbers, although the demonstration results have not yet been independently verified for a production vehicle. The real question, however, is not whether Tesla has built a car that can briefly fly. It is why Elon Musk is promoting an extreme, hu
