🔥 Bitget US Stock Hot-Topic Strike｜2026.10.06 Theme: AI infrastructure hits new highs｜foundry split · inference chips · space compute · storage rebound

1. Nvidia closes at a record; Hon Hai revenue confirms infrastructure spend

On Monday the Nasdaq rose 1.05% to close at 27,477.31, a new record close. NVDA gained 2.12% to $238.90, also a record close, with a market cap of about $5.76 trillion. Nvidia server partner Hon Hai reported September-quarter revenue of NT$3.03 trillion (about $95.4 billion), up 47% year over year, above the roughly NT$2.83 trillion consensus, pointing to still-elevated global AI infrastructure spending. The 10-year Treasury yield remains near 5.3%, around its highest zone since 2002, yet tech closed higher against the yield move. 

🎯 Beneficiaries: NVDA, AVGO; Key catalyst: Hon Hai’s beat confirms server demand — watch NVDA volume after the new high and positioning into next week’s earnings season.

2. Musk confirms early Terafab talks with TSMC

Elon Musk replied on X to a report that TSMC may take part in the Texas Terafab wafer project, saying “just discussions, but something may come of it.” Terafab is being advanced by Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI. Intel joined in April as the named manufacturing partner, with the plan pointing to the 14A process. There is no signed deal and no timeline. On Monday TSMC’s ADR rose 2.75% to $485.80, a record close, with market cap briefly topping $2.5 trillion. Intel fell 2.63%.

🎯 Beneficiaries: TSM, NVDA; Key catalyst: the advanced-node order-split narrative is heating up — watch for any formal partnership update. INTC is the contrast name.

3. Cerebras gets Altman’s “close partner” backing 

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman posted that Cerebras is a close partner and that the two sides have a deep engagement pushing the frontiers of speed. The backdrop is last week’s analysis suggesting OpenAI’s new Ultrafast mode runs on Nvidia GPUs rather than Cerebras wafer-scale chips, after which CBRS had sold off. In January the company signed a compute supply deal with OpenAI running through 2028, covering 750 megawatts and worth about $10 billion. CBRS rose about 9% on Monday.

🎯 Beneficiaries: CBRS, NVDA; Key catalyst: partnership reaffirmation after the inference-speed route split — watch for order follow-through, not a single social post.

4. SpaceX gets a Morgan Stanley reiteration; AI compute pricing is the variable

Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas reiterated Overweight on SpaceX with a $300 target. The note, titled “cheap and getting cheaper,” argues the current price already largely prices in the space and connectivity businesses, while the AI/neocloud piece looks underpriced. Near-term catalysts he listed include Starship Flight 15 in late October to early November, and short-term compute contracts around $30–50 per watt. SPCX rose 7.63% on Monday to close at $171.09, its highest close since June. 

🎯 Beneficiaries: SPCX, TSLA; Key catalyst: the Starship test window and compute-contract pricing — watch whether Flight 15 shows ship-catch progress.

5. Hard-drive pair rebounds; data-center storage sentiment repairs

Western Digital rose more than 6% and Seagate about 4.5%, recovering Friday’s drop after a Nikkei report that Toshiba would double hard-drive capacity. The same session the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index rose only about 0.3%, while Qualcomm, Intel, Micron, and Arm closed lower — storage diverged from foundry and GPU names. Consensus looks for S&P 500 third-quarter earnings growth of more than 30% year over year, driven mainly by AI-related companies. Bank reports open the season next week.

🎯 Beneficiaries: WDC, STX; Key catalyst: AI-server storage demand versus capacity-competition expectations — watch subsequent shipment and pricing commentary.

Trading note: Flows remain concentrated in the AI infrastructure theme. The Nasdaq and NVDA made new highs, but the 10-year yield is at its highest zone since 2002, and routes are splitting between TSM and INTC, and between CBRS and NVDA. Earnings season starts next week — size positions with volume and yields in mind, and avoid chasing a single narrative. US stocks have been more volatile lately.
