By Theron Mohamed — Published: Oct 31, 2025
Michael Burry broke his social media silence with a warning about market bubbles, hinting that the safest move amid AI-driven speculation may be “not to play.” He invoked tulip mania and highlighted extreme gains in Big Tech, including Nvidia’s surge to a $5 trillion valuation. The takeaway: froth in AI-linked assets is high, and even famed contrarians see risk in both betting for and against it.
Amazon and Apple set the pace
By JJ Kinahan — Published: Oct 31, 2025
Amazon and Apple kicked off trading with upbeat earnings, with AWS strength and iPhone sales both boosting sentiment. The piece contrasts that optimism with Meta’s double-digit drop on higher expenses and a tax charge, and flags rotation risk from tech into financials and pharma. It also notes shifting odds around a December Fed rate cut as another driver of near-term volatility.

By Trefis Team — Published: Oct 31, 2025
After a big Q3 beat, Amazon’s path to $500 centers on accelerating AWS growth, expanding ad revenue, and heavy AI infrastructure investment like Project Rainier. The thesis argues earnings and multiples together could lift shares, while risks include tough cloud competition, antitrust scrutiny, macro headwinds, and execution on massive capex. Investors are watching whether AWS can sustain 20%+ growth as AI demand ramps.

Execution in obesity and pipeline catalysts will be critical to any sustained rebound.

By Trefis Team — Published: Oct 31, 2025
Alphabet’s blowout Q3 and ensuing rally put its growth, margins, and valuation into sharper focus relative to peers.

The big question: can this outperformance persist as the AI cycle matures and rivals press their advantages?
How Palantir stock might react to earnings
By Trefis Team — Published: Oct 31, 2025
Palantir reports Nov. 3, with expectations centered on AI platform adoption, enterprise traction, and steady government demand.

Traders may key off guidance and AI deal flow to gauge whether momentum can sustain the elevated market cap.
Buy the dip in CMG stock?
By Trefis Team — Published: Oct 31, 2025
Chipotle plunged 18% after cutting guidance again, citing softer demand from core 25–35-year-old customers and macro pressure. The piece notes CMG has historically delivered strong one-year rebounds after steep declines, but investors should brace for volatility and potential further drawdowns. Watch traffic trends and pricing power as key signals of a recovery path.
Which stock will rally: Adobe or Oracle?
By Trefis Team — Published: Oct 31, 2025
Following Oracle’s pullback, the analysis makes a relative case for Adobe, citing stronger recent growth, higher profitability, and a more attractive valuation. Both remain core enterprise software names in AI-era workflows, but the note argues ADBE’s fundamentals are currently more compelling. Investors weighing rotations within software may find a better risk-reward in Adobe near term.
How Southern Copper stock gained 60%
By Trefis Team — Published: Oct 31, 2025
SCCO’s 2025 surge reflects higher copper prices, progress at Tia Maria, strong earnings, and lower operating costs, all of which lifted revenue, margins, and its P/E multiple. The article cautions that the stock is highly cyclical and has suffered deep drawdowns in past crises. For commodity-exposed names, project execution and price discipline are as critical as the macro backdrop.
How Oracle stock falls to $180?
By Trefis Team — Published: Oct 31, 2025
After an 80% six-month rally fueled by a massive OpenAI contract, Oracle’s 7% pullback draws attention to valuation risk. While growth, margins, and balance sheet remain strong, the piece argues a re-rating could take shares closer to $183. The implication: trim or manage exposure if you believe expectations have outrun fundamentals.
