Christina, the most important company of the AI era has a stock that's really gone nowhere this year. Nvidia is up, what, 13% in 2026? The broader chip index you can see on your screen up 70%. That's the one of the widest gaps between Nvidia and its own sector on record. And the stock unfortunately just keeps getting punished on good news. It's fallen the day after earnings 4 quarters running, every time after a beat. The question today isn't really whether Nvidia delivers, it's why the stock stopped working. Cantor Fitzgerald points to 4 reasons. One is valuation. Nvidia got so expensive that even a strong beat now reads, in their words, as sell the news. Of course, we know the valuation has improved. Another is rotation. Investors moving into rival chip names instead of crowding into Nvidia because they're looking for more upside. There's the fear it's also losing the inference market to Amazon and Google's homegrown chips. And then hedge funds have actually piled in on the short side of this just over the last little while. And now the newest worry that comes up constantly in sell-side research Nvidia is bankrolling the very customers who buy its chips, backstopping billions of dollars in leases. An example of $105 billion for OpenAI and taking stakes across the industry can be seen as a positive, also a negative. The credit market, though, has noticed. Morgan Stanley, starting coverage of Nvidia's debt just this month, said that after recent widening, Nvidia bonds are trading more like BBB credit than AA— it's better than the AA its balance sheet actually implies, roughly 25 basis points wider than similarly rated peers. So watch what Nvidia does to actually push back on that narrative about the circular financing, financial engineering, etc. One tell, it just split its sales into two buckets, the four big hyperscalers on one side, everyone else on the other. So AI clouds, enterprise, governments, etc. And it's telling Wall Street it's growing beyond the four biggest names, the same ones now building chips to compete with it. They're focusing on the other bucket. The numbers, though, almost aren't the point since a beat is assumed. What moves the stock now is the story Nvidia tells around earnings, especially the qualitative stuff in the call.
Christina Partsinopoulos — Squawk on the Street · 11AM Hour: Nvidia Earnings on Deck, Barclays Global Head of Tech Investment Banking & Citi Opens Positive Catalyst Watch on Oracle 8/26/26 · 2026-08-26Thank you so much for the brief here into the PCE report. Vishal Kundu joins us, head of broad market fixed income at Morgan Stanley. And so I get red and green on the screen, the 10-year yield into the report. 4.6208%. Across America, from New York, it's Bloomberg Surveillance.
Tom Keene — Bloomberg Surveillance · Reacting to PCE and Market Look Ahead · 2026-08-26So, and they had to like they had to like go hat in hand to Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, like begging to get on the platform. Then they get on the platform, they have to beg to get into the asset allocation, like put us in one of your model portfolios. These guys, they just— and by the way, the degree of difficulty in that DRAM ETF should not be understated. You file and the ETF, if it doesn't get blocked or delayed, the effective date is like 75 days later, which means you can't just identify a trend and launch an ETF that day. You have to, you have to be 2.5 months ahead of the curve to see like what people might be into to get a product launched with as perfect timing as that DRAM ETF. And it's set, uh, and Will Hershey is fine. He's, he's, he's Just— he's a regular guy. Dave Maza is the— is the real— I'm just teasing. I like both those guys. You know, congratulations.
Josh Brown — The Compound and Friends · Bubble bursts in 2027, Nvidia earnings preview, Materials sector set-up, AirBnB takes flight · 2026-08-25you can use any metric you want. Well, I mean, with pretty much any US deal, you should expect to see some combination of JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley. That's kind of been the—
Bailey Lipschultz — Bloomberg Intelligence · Dick’s Falls Most Ever With Chairman Saying More Pain to Come · 2026-08-25It's important for the banks. It's, it's kind of when you think back to the whole SpaceX IPO Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley were joint leads, but Goldman Sachs had the coveted lead left role, which meant their name was first on the branding. They could say in marketing materials, we were the ones who worked closest with Elon Musk to take SpaceX public. And that just goes so much— such a long way when you look at marketing the next deal à la Anthropic or OpenAI from the banking perspective. And obviously it also plays out in the fees and it does play out in bonuses, which I know bankers really care about.
Bailey Lipschultz — Bloomberg Intelligence · Dick’s Falls Most Ever With Chairman Saying More Pain to Come · 2026-08-25Let's talk about private credit. This is a very underappreciated slice of the credit markets these days as more and more money has gone to these entities, these non-bank entities where the risk is very opaque. It's hard to know exactly what's in these private funds because they are private, but there are public versions of them. Another reason why I think buying private credit is usually a very bad idea, because you can get the same type of investment with a lot more liquidity in what are called BDC companies. Now, there are 10 large— the 10 largest ones have now reported earnings. Names like Ares Capital, Blackstone Secured Lending, KKR Capital, Golub Capital, Goldman Sachs BDC. They have, they have one. Main Street Capital, MidCap Financial Investment, Morgan Stanley Direct Lending, Blue Owl Capital, and Sixth Street Specialty Lending. Those are the top 10. And so looking at their results in aggregate can kind of tell you what's going on in that slice of the, the financial industry that nobody really talks about. So what did it say? Well, there's something in the industry called non-accrual status. What does that mean? Basically means they're not paying any more interest. So when, or when the company is not assuming they're going to get interest, it basically is when a company is 90 days or more past due on payment and they see enough credit deterioration they don't expect to be made whole. That's a default. When you're lending money, you don't get your interest, you don't get your original principal back— that's a default. And this will feed into the dividend eventually if it continues to grow. So let's look at the numbers. With all of these names, the number of borrowers at least one debt instrument in non-accrual status went from 4.26 to 4.69. So about 1 in 20 nearly. That's way up from 2023 when it was at 3.69. So it's gone from 3.69 to 4.69 in 2 years, 2 and a half, uh, 2 and a half years. And this is when the size of these BDC companies have basically doubled. Over the past 3 years. It's about $560 billion of total debt. That's as of the first quarter of this year. In dollar terms, non-accrual debt rose 39% to $2.8 billion. That brings it— that, that brings the total to roughly $10 billion.
Justin Klein — InvestTalk · Regulation catches up to digital assets · 2026-08-25How are you? Good. Um, I bought Morgan Stanley in the summer of 2020, $48, $49 a share. Nice. It's up over 200%. Sell it, keep it, or buy more? All right, I would not sell Morgan Stanley.
Speaker C — Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer · Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer 8/24/26 · 2026-08-24Now you could argue, wait a second, let's take some off the table just because you have such a big position in it. I'm not against that. But what I come to— I mean, it's funny, it's like, you know, this is one of those things where I say, what is Mike looking for? Well, he's looking for me to say, is Morgan Stanley good? And I'm going to say no, Morgan Stanley is great. Let's go to Buddy in Rhode Island, please. Buddy.
