XPeng Inc - ADR

XPengs October delivery report is driving discussion: traders see a strong month-over-month rebound as support for its growth story, but debate whether the pace can be sustained into Q4. Optimism about deliveries and exports is tempered by the stocks steep decline and concerns about profitability and broader weakness in Chinese EV shares.

Circle

CRCL is under pressure amid the CLARITY Acts failure to advance and concerns about USDC growth, competition and Circles earnings; traders also point to weakness across crypto-related stocks. Bulls counter that higher rates could support reserve income and see potential in Circles Arc network, while debate continues over adoption and valuation.

Almonty Industries Inc

ALMs decline below the $9 level is driving discussion, with traders questioning the weakness after an investor-day presentation that some felt offered little new information and left them uneasy about the companys production ramp. Bulls still point to Sangdongs production progress and tight tungsten supply, while others cite execution uncertainty and broader weakness in critical-mineral stocks.

Newmont Corp

Newmonts Q3 results beat expectations, but shares sold off as traders focused on cost pressures, higher project spending and operational risks flagged in an analyst downgrade. The community is split between viewing the decline as a post-earnings pullback or technical correction and treating it as a buying opportunity given the companys results and gold exposure.

Ripple

XRP is drawing attention amid a crypto selloff linked by traders to the reported Binance hack, with many discussing the dip and debating whether to buy or sell. The conversation also centers on Ripples Swell announcements and bank and Robinhood partnerships: some see them as bullish adoption news, while others say they favor RLUSD and Ripples business without creating clear demand for XRP, which has remained weak.

American Express Co.

American Expresss earnings beat and raised outlook were overshadowed by plans to cut about 5% of its workforce as part of an AI-focused restructuring, alongside a slight revenue shortfall. Traders are split between viewing the selloff as an overreaction given resilient card spending and worrying that the layoffs and softer signals point to pressure on the business.

Fair Isaac Corp.

Fair, Isaac Corp.

FHFAs move to place VantageScore alongside FICO on the mortgage pricing grid, combined with its lower pricing and Rocket Mortgages planned adoption, has raised concerns that FICO could lose mortgage-score market share and pricing powerdriving a sharp selloff.

‘Big Short’ Michael Burry Drops ‘Can’t-Wait Info’ On $573B AI Financing Web: What Happens If Spending Stops? 

Equity

Bullish Sentiment

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Ares mapped about $573 billion across 26 disclosed financings over the past 12 months.</li><li>The deals link major AI companies through debt, leases, chip supply, customer contracts and guarantees.</li><li>Ares warned that the connected deals depend on sustained AI spending and could come under pressure if revenue disappoints.</li></ul>"The Big Short"&nbsp;investor Michael Burry warned&nbsp;late Sunday that a slowdown in AI spending could pressure an interconnected financing network, after reviewing an Ares Management analysis of $573 billion in deals tied to the industry's biggest players.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">The $573B Bet On AI Spending</h2>Burry had been preparing the next installment of his “Heretic’s Guide to AI’s Stars” series, focused on how the buildout is financed. Then he read Ares’ Fall 2026 alternative credit newsletter and published an unscheduled “Short Thoughts” post. He called the findings “need to know now” information and “can't-wait info.” He also called the report “mainstream Wall Street coming around to my view.”Ares’ matrix covers about $573 billion across 26 disclosed financings over the past 12 months, spanning corporate bonds, data center construction loans, leases, GPU-backed borrowing and financial guarantees.&nbsp;The financing ties together some of AI’s biggest names, including <a class="mention" data-mention="$META" data-symbol-id="META" href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/META" target="_blank">Meta</a>, Oracle, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Nvidia, OpenAI and Anthropic. Across the deals, they appear in different roles, including borrowers, customers, chip suppliers, tenants or guarantors, meaning that a change in one company’s spending could affect others connected to it.Burry drew attention to Ares’ warning that “every transaction, obligation, backstop, guarantee and deal” in the financing web assumes sustained AI spending. Ares said that if revenue disappoints and a few boards redirect capital, the pressure could spread through connected deals, triggering guarantees “precisely when the guarantors are at their weakest.”&nbsp;Ares compared the potential chain reaction to the vendor financing that amplified the telecom downturn of 2000.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">Insurers Enter Burry's Crosshairs</h2>The next question is who holds the debt. Burry put the combined float of U.S. and Bermuda insurers at a little more than $10 trillion and said he has been gathering insurance data for months. He plans to bring the research into Part VI of his series. Ares, using a different measure, cited $9 trillion in U.S. insurers’ invested assets.Ares said insurance balance sheets are a major source of capital for the digital infrastructure buildout. In its report, the firm pointed to <a class="mention" data-mention="$META" data-symbol-id="META" href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/META" target="_blank">Meta</a> and BlackRock’s $14 billion El Paso data center site, saying fire coverage was capped at $450 million, or 3% of the project’s value. Ares contrasted the limited property coverage with insurers’ willingness to hold investment-grade debt related to such projects.&nbsp;Ares said digital infrastructure accounted for 42% of investment-grade private placements year to date, while at least 24 data center securitizations were issued over the past 12 months.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">Burry Says Chip Depreciation Is ‘Very, Very Real’</h2>Burry also turned to the chips behind some AI loans. He pointed to an Ares chart depicting a 51% decline in the Nvidia H100’s residual value over three years. Rapid changes in chip value can complicate loans backed by the hardware.This is why lenders demand residual-value guarantees, Burry argued. Manufacturers and cloud providers offer backstops “not because they want to. Because they have to,” he said, calling chip depreciation “very, very real.” Such guarantees can protect lenders against a shortfall in an asset’s future value, depending on the deal's terms.Burry said he expects to publish Part VI, covering the financing web and his insurance research, in a few weeks. Part VII will examine neo-cloud providers including CoreWeave and Nebius. He ended his post with a warning: “Bubbles are indeed painfully obvious. Painfully.”For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/stocktwits-pharma-pulse-lilly-novo-lead-busy-week-stocks-readouts-to-watch/cZMSib7RBfS">Stocktwits Pharma Pulse: Lilly, Novo Lead A Busy Week — Here Are The Stocks And Readouts To Watch&nbsp;</a>
