Tech Roundup Oct 31, 2025: OpenAI’s $1T IPO, Moon Plans, AI Factories & Stock Surge

by
  • OpenAI IPO: Reports say ChatGPT-maker OpenAI is eyeing a ~$1 trillion IPO in 2026 to fund massive AI infrastructure [1]. CEO Sam Altman hinted an IPO is “the most likely path” given OpenAI’s huge capital needs [2].
  • Space Race: SpaceX told NASA it has a “simplified” Starship lunar plan to speed a moon landing and boost safety [3]. Meanwhile, Europe’s top aerospace firms (Airbus, Thales, Leonardo) agreed to merge their satellite businesses (“Project Bromo”) into a €6.5 billion venture to counter SpaceX’s Starlink [4] [5].
  • AI Chip Deals: Nvidia scored a deal to supply ~260,000 Blackwell AI chips to South Korea’s government and companies (Samsung, etc.), bolstering Korea’s AI push [6]. Jensen Huang said Korea can now “produce intelligence as a new export” [7]. Samsung and SK Group separately announced 50,000+ GPU “AI factories” (with Nvidia) to transform chip production and telecom services [8] [9].
  • Consumer Tech: Apple unveiled an upgraded Vision Pro headset with the new M5 chip and improved comfort, but no price hike [10]. The M5 version (available Oct 22) renders ~10% more pixels and up to 120 Hz refresh, enhancing visuals and battery life [11]. In smartphones, Chinese maker Oppo noted growing user demand for new AI features [12]. Intel also detailed its first 18A-process “Panther Lake” AI laptop chip (ships late 2025), promising ~50% faster graphics/CPU performance [13]. Analyst Bob O’Donnell said Panther Lake could “confirm” Intel’s manufacturing turnaround [14].
  • Cyber & Policy: OpenAI launched “Aardvark,” a GPT-5–powered security agent that autonomously finds and patches software vulnerabilities [15]. On regulation, EU regulators preliminarily found Meta (Facebook/Instagram) and TikTok in breach of the new Digital Services Act for failing to give researchers data access [16]. The European Commission stressed that data access is an “essential transparency obligation” [17]. The companies now have a chance to remedy breaches or face fines up to 6% of sales [18].
  • Earnings & Markets: Big Tech earnings mostly beat forecasts. Apple (AAPL) raised its Q4 guidance, sparking a ~3.7% after-hours jump. “It’s a good problem to have,” CEO Tim Cook quipped about strong demand [19]. Amazon (AMZN) topped Q3 forecasts with 20% AWS cloud growth – its fastest since 2022 – causing its stock to surge ~14% [20]. CEO Andy Jassy noted AWS “is growing at a pace we haven’t seen since 2022” [21], and CFO Brian Olsavsky warned Amazon will sharply increase capex next year. Analyst Natalie Hwang called Apple’s outlook a runway to “convert that momentum into a durable AI and infrastructure advantage” [22]. Overall, tech stocks remain high: AAPL ~$271, AMZN ~$223, NVDA ~$203, MSFT ~$542, GOOGL ~$281, META ~$666 [23] [24] (end-of-Oct 30 closes).

Looking ahead, analysts expect Q4 tech spending to stay robust on AI and holiday demand [25] [26]. Nvidia’s booming deals and OpenAI’s funding plans suggest AI investment shows no letup. Intel’s progress and Samsung’s AI factories hint at continued chip innovation. In space, China’s moon ambitions (crew missions by 2030) keep pressure on NASA’s schedule. Regulators, however, warn of tech bubbles – the UK’s Bank of England even flagged AI-fueled stock valuations as a risk [27]. For now, though, tech giants seem confident: higher guidance and big projects suggest more “engine for growth” on the horizon [28] [29].

Sources: Verified tech news from Reuters, CNBC, Apple and OpenAI releases, etc [30] [31] [32] [33] [34]. Market data from Oct 30, 2025 closes [35] [36].

Stock Market Today

  • A Fresh Look at CoreWeave (CRWV) Valuation Amid Momentum
    November 1, 2025, 12:56 PM EDT. CoreWeave (CRWV) has attracted traders after a 2% weekly gain and a 28% three-month return, signaling momentum investors want to ride. The stock trades at a price-to-sales ratio of 19.7x, well above the US IT industry average but near its peer group, implying high growth expectations are baked in despite current losses. A closer look shows the market pricing future revenue growth, with risk if momentum fades. From a contrary view, SWS's DCF analysis suggests the stock could be trading below its fair value, hinting at a potential long-term opportunity for patient investors. Key caveats include growth slowdown risks and valuation sensitivity to sentiment, making it essential to weigh momentum against fundamentals.
  • Nebius Stock Ahead of Q3 Earnings on Nov. 11: Is It a Buy?
    November 1, 2025, 12:42 PM EDT. Nebius Group (NBIS) sails into Q3 results on Nov. 11 amid a crowded AI-infrastructure race. The company rents Nvidia GPUs through a cloud platform, competing with CoreWeave and Oracle. Shares have surged ~346% this year. Management has already outpaced prior ARR targets, helped by a five-year, $17.4 billion deal with Microsoft to expand data-center capacity. Investors will scrutinize whether the Microsoft collaboration will diversify beyond a single customer and whether Nebius can land additional hyperscalers like AWS or Google Cloud. The balance sheet shows about $1.7 billion cash (Q2), underscoring a capital-intensive path to scale. Key questions: expected capex cadence, capital allocation strategy, and the timeline to meaningful returns on new capacity. Q3 commentary could reveal roadmap, profitability, and ROI for investors.
  • Nebius Stock: Buy Ahead of Nov. 11 Earnings and the Microsoft Deal?
    November 1, 2025, 12:40 PM EDT. Nebius Group (NBIS) has surged ~350% this year on AI infrastructure momentum, underpinned by a five-year, $17.4 billion cloud deal with Microsoft. The company sells AI infrastructure as a service, leasing GPUs from Nvidia via a cloud platform and competing with CoreWeave and Oracle. Nebius has expanded its data centers across multiple regions, aiming for roughly $1 billion ARR by year-end, a target that appears surpassed by the Microsoft deal. Investors will look for updates on how the collaboration might deepen, potential new hyperscalers (AWS, Google Cloud), and how revenue concentration is managed. On the balance sheet, Nebius held about $1.7 billion in cash as of Q2. With Q3 earnings on Nov. 11, the stock faces questions about growth sustainability and competitive risk.
  • Mosaic Stock Forecast: Analysts See Potential Upside to 2027
    November 1, 2025, 12:24 PM EDT. Mosaic trades around $27 today, with analysts targeting a median of $37 and a high of $48-roughly upside of ~37% over the next year. The spread reflects mixed views on fertilizer pricing and demand. Near-term catalysts include a 2025 guidance update showing lower phosphate volumes but stable potash pricing, and a recently streamlined Saudi partnership after Mosaic sold its Ma'aden stake. Looking to 2027, the consensus projects ~4.5% revenue growth and ~11.4% operating margins, with a forward multiple around 8.5x and a model-derived fair value near $28. That translates to modest total returns (~3%), or about 1.4% annualized, with downside limited by solid cash flow and a 3.2% dividend yield. Upside hinges on fertilizer-price rebound and stronger export demand.
  • Steel Dynamics Stock Forecast: Analysts See Modest Upside by 2027
    November 1, 2025, 11:42 AM EDT. Steel Dynamics, Inc. (NASDAQ: STLD) trades near $157 as analysts peg a modest upside through 2027. The stock sits near its 52-week high after a year of gains, underpinned by disciplined execution, steady margins, and a strong balance sheet. A Mississippi aluminum flat-rolled mill project, slated for production in 2025, broadens exposure beyond steel into automotive and packaging demand. Analysts' targets average around $167-$168, with a high near $180 and a low near $145-roughly 6% upside on a 12-month view. Growth remains steady: revenue ~5.5% annually to 2027, operating margin ~11.9%, and forward P/E around 11x. TIKR's model points to about $164 by 2027, implying ~4-5% total returns (~2% annualized).
