Public.com presents the rundown, your daily market update in under 10 minutes. My name is Zadod Mani and Today is Wednesday, November 26th. In today's episode, we'll tell you about the weird vibes coming out of Nvidia. We'll also tell you why Klarna is launching a stablecoin. Then stick around to the end of the show to find out what turkey is going to cost this year for Thanksgiving. We got a great show for you today. Let's go. Stocks were in the green across the board on Tuesday with the S&P 500 adding 0.9%. With over 400 stocks in positive territory. The NASDAQ also added 7%. You know the stock market has now gone up for three days in a row now and in that span the S and p has added 3 and a half percent and is now within 2% of hitting all time highs again. So it's been a pretty solid bounce back after the sell off that we saw earlier this month. Now the tech sector continues to take a back seat in this rally. Investors are rotating out of tech stocks and into other sectors like healthcare. In fact, over the last month or so the tech sector has dropped nearly 4% while the healthcare sector has gone up 10%. So I'm really curious to see what happens with tech moving forward, especially the big AI names like Nvidia, which which has lost 14% from its peak. And speaking of Nvidia, there's a lot of weird vibes coming out of the company right now. On yesterday's show we talked about how Nvidia sent a seven page memo to Wall street firms refuting any sketchy accounting allegations. They even mentioned Enron in their memo, which is kind of a weird move. And then it got even more bizarre. Yesterday Nvidia issued a press release that they were delighted about the progress that Google has made with their TPU AI chips, but that their Nvidia chips were still the best. It was a really weird post and it instantly got memed on X. I feel like if Nvidia actually wasn't worried about Google's TPUs, they wouldn't have posted anything. You know, up until recently I wasn't that worried about Nvidia before. I'm starting to get a little worried now. Overall though, it's great to see momentum returning to the stock market and who knows, we might be looking at all time highs again pretty soon. I guess the only thing the markets really needed was a rate cut reassurance from a couple Fed officials to find its confidence again. Well, except for crypto, because nothing seems to be getting them out of their fun. Now, to be fair, there's still some big picture concerns lurking, like sticky inflation, a cooling labor market, and this whole unwinding of the AI trade. But you know what? We'll worry about that next week because remember, the stock market is closed tomorrow for Thanksgiving, so no show from us. But the markets will be open on Friday with shortened hours closing around 1pm Eastern. And generally the volumes are really light. There's not a lot going on on that Friday, but you never know. So we'll still have a show on Friday morning, plus a deep dive on Saturday and an interview on Sunday. So if you need your market fixed over the long weekend, we got you covered. Let's run through some headlines, starting with OpenAI. According to a new analysis from HSBC, OpenAI has a $207 billion funding hole it needs to fill by 2030. That's how much cash the company will need, even after all their projected revenues. See, OpenAI has to pay a lot of money for computing announced multiple multi billion dollar deals over the last few months. And HHSBC estimates that OpenAI's cumulative compute bill from now through 2030 will reach nearly $800 billion. That's just the cost of running the models every time someone uses ChatGPT, not training new models. So even though HSBC estimates that OpenAI's revenues will grow like crazy, hitting $214 billion by 2030, the company will still be losing money. HSBC estimates that OpenAI could have an operating loss of 60 $76 billion in 2030. That's crazy. So that means that OpenAI either needs to grow their revenues, decrease computing costs, or raise more money. Now, if you look at OpenAI's revenues, OpenAI makes most of its money right now from subscriptions. According to the information, OpenAI has about 35 million paying ChatGPT+Pro subscribers as of July of this year. That's roughly 5% of its weekly active users. Honestly, I'm kind of surprised that only 5% of people are paying for ChatGPT. I thought it'd be a lot more than that. But by 2030, OpenAI is projecting 220 million paying users, which would generate roughly $52 billion a year just from subscription. So that would make ChatGPT one of the biggest subscription services on the planet. But again, it wouldn't be enough to pay for all their computing needs. The wild card Here is what ChatGPT is going to do when it comes to ads. Everyone expects ads to be rolling out into ChatGPT pretty soon. It seems to be the only way that OpenAI can pay for all their computing. If you want to hear a deeper discussion about the computing costs for OpenAI and other AI companies, go check out the recent interview I did with Semi analysis president Doug O'. Laughlin. It was an awesome 30 minute conversation. We'll put a link to that episode in the description. Let's shift gears and talk about Klarna. The buy now, pay later company is launching a stablecoin. Klarna has partnered with Stripe to create Klarna USD, which is a US dollar backed stablecoin to help with international payments. See, right now Klarna has to rely on the Swift network for international transfers, which is slow and expensive. But by using a stablecoin, Klarn can basically move money globally in seconds. The company says that Klarna USD will dramatically reduce processing costs for both merchants and customers. And I think this is the best feature of stablecoin, sending money all over the world fast and with low fees. And this also fits a bigger shift happening inside Klarna. The company wants to evolve beyond just a buy now pay later company and become a true digital bank, offering payments, deposits, transfers, and now crypto. According to the Financial Times, Klarna already offers banking services in parts of Europe and this stablecoin push could be a key pillar in that strategy. Now investors have kind of soured on the company. Klarna stock hasn't done so well since it IPO back in September. The stock is down about 25% since its debut, but maybe getting into Stable coins could help them reduce costs and expand their services. Definitely something to keep an eye on moving forward. Let's talk about some stocks make in moves today. Urban Outfitters is absolutely ripping today after the clothing retailer posted surprisingly strong results across all of its major brands. Their flagship Urban Outfitters brand saw a 12% growth in comparable sales. Anthropology was up 7.6% and Free People was up 4%. You know, Urban Outfitters revenue growth in Q3 was a lot stronger than previous quarters this year, which the company attributes to increased traffic transactions and a boost to digital sales. I'll be honest, I didn't know that Urban Outfitters were still hot these days. Also, Urban Outfitters says they saw a huge momentum in Nuuly, which is their clothing rental subscription service. Revenues for that division jumped 49%. So yeah, big win for Urban Outfitters. Honestly, I didn't know the company was still hot, but the Stock is up 10% today and it's getting pretty close to all time highs. Now on the flip side, HP stock is under pressure this morning after the company reported weaker than expected earnings guidance for 2026. You know, HP makes computers and print and things like that. And they said that profits are being hurt by US Trade policy and regulation, basically tariffs which are raising their costs. The company also announced they were cutting about 10% of its workforce, which is around 4 to 6,000 jobs, in an effort to save at least $1 billion by 2028. Yeah, investors aren't loving the news coming out of HP. Shares are down more than 4% this morning. Let's wrap the show with a fun fact. Thanksgiving turkey is going to be cheaper this year compared to last year. Prices of turkey are down between 3 to 16% this year despite a bird flu taking out nearly 2 million turkeys this fall. Now, 2 million sounds like a lot, but Americans eat nearly 200 million turkeys in a given year, so the 2 million is more of a rounding number. But here's a bonus fun fact. Americans just aren't eating as much turkey as they used to. Per capita turkey consumption is down nearly 20% from 10 years ago. I mean, outside of Thanksgiving, I pretty much never eat turkey. It's just too dry for me, you know. But let me know in the comments if you guys like turkey or not. I'm more of a sides guy when it comes to Thanksgiving. Anyways, give me the sweet potatoes, give me the dinner rolls, give me the Mac and cheese, some pie at the end of the night and I'll call it a day. Well all right guys, that's the rundown for today.
