# ☕️ [Task Coins Giveaway] Daily Market Talk — Alphabet Suffers Its Worst Day Since 2004

Alphabet had its worst day ever, and Amazon and Intel slid after hours. Eli Lilly and Apple bucked the selloff with records. Let's dig in 👇

**💬 Big Tech is paying for AI with cash flow. Buying the Alphabet dip, or waiting for Apple and AMD next week?**

## 📊 Quick Recap — What Moved & Why

### 🇺🇸 US — Alphabet's Record Drop

**🔑 Key Event:** $Alphabet(GOOGL.US) closed **-12.64%** on a revenue miss, its worst day since listing in 2004, erasing about $480 billion. $Amazon(AMZN.US)**-4.25%** **and** $Intel(INTC.US)**-3.62%** **slid further after hours on their results.**

**👀 Other to Watch**

-   $Dow Jones Industrial Average(.DJI.US) **-0.25%**, $S&P 500(.SPX.US) **-0.30%**, $NASDAQ Composite Index(.IXIC.US) **-1.38%**, ending a three-day winning streak.
-   $ServiceNow(NOW.US) → **-26.95%**, the S&P 500's worst, after a key revenue measure fell short.
-   **Memory** → $Micron Tech(MU.US) **-4.98%** and $Sandisk(SNDK.US) **-5.32%** after Samsung's miss; SanDisk later beat, planning an 8-for-1 split.
-   **Healthcare** → $Eli Lilly(LLY.US) **+6.63%** to a record after raising guidance again; $Merck(MRK.US) **+3.83%**.
-   $Apple(AAPL.US) → **+1.48%** to a record close as new MacBook Pros opened for pre-order.
-   **Crypto** → $Coinbase(COIN.US) **-1.07%** and $Strategy(MSTR.US) **-2.44%**, lower after hours as Bitcoin neared $80,000.

> @user\_setbbkgs124 : I opened Alphabet shares at $296, buying market leaders on post-earnings pullbacks.

> @Gene Munster : Intel's guide down should not be extrapolated to Nvidia; the main issue is PC demand.

> @dhighstakes : Eli Lilly is the non-AI trade that everyone should take note of.

### 🇸🇬 Singapore — Wilmar Under Pressure

**🔑 Key Event:** The $FTSE Straits Times Index(STI.SG) is down about **-0.3%** near 5,383 this morning after Thursday's **-0.03%** close at 5,396.03. $Wilmar(F34.SG)**, Thursday's worst at** **-4.89%****, is down another 3% after hiring haze investigators.**

**👀 Other to Watch**

-   **Banks** → $DBS(D05.SG) reports third-quarter results on 5 Nov, with $OCBC Bank(O39.SG) and $UOB(U11.SG) on 6 Nov.
-   **S-REITs** → $Mapletree PanAsia Com Tr(N2IU.SG) cut its payout 3.5%; $CapLand Ascendas REIT(A17U.SG) lifted occupancy to 90.1%.

-   $Sea(SE.US) → **+1.82%**, a third straight gain after a five-day slide.

> @Fattycat : I have no plans to paper hand CLAR at S$2.18, with occupancy up to 90.1%.

### 🇭🇰 HK/China — Xiaomi Leads a Rebound

**🔑 Key Event:** The $Hang Seng Index(00HSI.HK) is up about **+1%** near 23,200 this morning after Thursday's **-0.59%** close at 22,958.65, led by $XIAOMI-W(01810.HK) and $MEITUAN(03690.HK). $LENOVO GROUP(00992.HK) **is down about 6% on Intel's PC warning.**

In its worst single day crash in its 22 year history as a public company, Alphabet's shares plummeted by a staggering 12.6% down to USD 283.82.  In a matter of hours, a mind 
- **Skywind · 2026-10-30T07:32:08.000Z**: Negative free cash flow is a red flag
- **Jaces · 2026-10-30T06:07:59.000Z · 👍 1**: Nobody expected this kind of result from Google. totally out of the norm. must be careful when it is dealing with US stocks now

- **Valenxis · 2026-10-30T05:59:42.000Z · 👍 1**: i think it is a knee jerk reaction. so googl, intc, amzn will have rebound or maybe v shape recovery soon. current price present a good chance to buy the dip for long term investment. quick trading punt also seems okay at this price level.
  - **Fattycat** (2026-10-30T07:57:22.000Z): Intel overnight trading at $70. Based on daily chart, HTF, there is no support there . The share price may stabilise at around $50-55. Let’s see if I am correct.
- **dingdongbell · 2026-10-30T05:41:59.000Z · 👍 1**: The market looks bearish but IMO is offering the discount of the year before it rallies into the year-end. NFA but looks like a good place to look for bargains!
- **Heroic Lifesaver · 2026-10-30T05:39:55.000Z · 👍 1**: Looks like SMH is starting the possible fifth wave down of C which I mentioned earlier this week. This will be the ultimate bear trap and a fantastic buying opportunity.

High free cash flow and capex must be used in such a way that generates lots more than the companies expected for it to rise like Microsoft but other stocks despite meeting expectations, drop sharply. So on a lookout for more downturn and slowly DCA o
