Iverson steps over Lue !?
A lot has happened in the NBA over the past 25 years.
So our writers ranked the most significant moments of the 2000s.
Do you agree with our list?

This feels relevant
I really think this is something to monitor moving fwd - it's becoming increasingly worse for the large tech companies the way that OpenAI is growing / financing deals. The hyperscalers would be better off in a world where OpenAI cannot unlock funding / scale compute to meet revenue growth
it will be interesting to see how much pressure if applied on OpenAI if their capabilities, revenue, and platform base continue to grow. The incentive for OpenAI to succeed aligns with NVDA, AMD, and AVGO as much as it doesn't align with the hyperscalers (despite one of them owning 49% of OpenAI)

Restaurants all strong today
EAT TXRH SG CMG (relatively) - all holding up relatively well today. Interesting given these (specifically DRI EAT TXRH) were some of the first to break really hard in mid Sept

this is playing out - expect it to continue
This being said - I expect to see an off ramp from the White House on eco issues. We already saw a 10% decrease in tariffs with China, I would expect to see more
I’m not sure if they would consider a new pause on student loan payments, but I could see it as they blame the Fed
Worth watching

Circling back on this - interesting price action today in BLK would indicate that there is likely some bitcoin pressure on shares...
APO OWL BX -> held up well
IVZ STT -> same
BLK -2.24%

interesting, I hadn't thought of the bitcoin angle - I initially thought it was their push into private credit + infra buildouts via acquisitions of GIP and HPS creating the underperformance STT and IVZ. Mgmt pushed it as a way to boost the multiple (looks like they might've timed that wrong)

You can critique Target heavily only because of its better disclosure. But contrast grocery down 1% at $TGT vs +2-3% at $WMT. But discretionary goods at $TGT also fully 500+bp lower, even worse given Walmart sells 2X more discretionary goods by dollars. $AMZN

WMT, in the final quarters of CEO Doug Mcmillon, continues to illustrate a transformation of the company. The delivery speeds, and the increased price that consumers are willing to pay for it, have materially altered the shape of their customer base for the better.

Gross margin guidance for Q4 comes in at the bogey = 75%
The guidance is the real beat, wow
Q4 Rev's guide = $65bn (well above street at ~$61.5-62bn)

Last quarter -> NVDA printed 46% QoQ and 98% YoY networking revenue growth. I expect networking to remain very strong this quarter as well. Spectrum-X adoption momentum appears strong as represented by the large Fairwater build outs from MSFT

Clear re-rating in the market between GOOGL and MSFT. Do we exit the week with GOOGL as the biggest company based on market cap?
