Stock Market Midday, Oct. 14: Hot Inflation Weighs on Markets, CoreWeave Plummets 15%

Major stock indexes declined on October 14, 2026, as a hotter-than-expected CPI report of 3.7% revived concerns about potential Federal Reserve rate hikes.

The Best Stock to Invest $10,000 In Right Now

Marvell Technology is presented as an attractive investment opportunity despite a 20% pullback from its 2026 high.

Applied Materials vs. AMD: Which AI Semiconductor Stock Is a Better Buy in 2026?

Applied Materials and AMD offer different exposure to AI semiconductor demand. Applied Materials supplies chip manufacturing equipment with a lower valuation (P/E 23.4x) and improving growth trajectory, while AMD designs processors with faster 2025 revenue growth (34.3%) but faces potential shareholder dilution from OpenAI and Meta warrants covering ~20% of shares outstanding. The author recommends Applied Materials as the better buy, though both stocks have merit for long-term diversified portfolios.

Broadcom vs. Marvell Technology: Which Semiconductor Stock Is a Better Buy in 2026?

The article compares Broadcom and Marvell Technology as AI semiconductor investments. Broadcom, a diversified titan with $63.9B in revenue and strong partnerships with major tech companies, is recommended as the better buy due to locked-in multi-year AI revenue commitments providing visibility. Marvell, growing faster at 42.1% revenue growth but with higher valuation multiples and customer concentration risk, is also positioned well but lacks Broadcom's forward revenue certainty.

Why D-Wave Quantum Stock Popped Today

D-Wave Quantum received up to $100 million in funding from the U.S. Department of Commerce under the CHIPS and Science Act, causing its stock to rise 10.86%. However, the government also awarded similar $100 million grants to rival quantum companies Quantinuum and Rigetti Computing. GlobalFoundries received the largest award at $375 million, suggesting it may be the government's preferred champion rather than D-Wave.

Why Rigetti Computing Popped Today

Rigetti Computing's stock surged up to 12.2% after securing $100 million in CHIPS Act funding from the Department of Commerce to advance superconducting quantum computing research. The government will receive a minority, non-controlling equity stake in the company. While the funding is a positive development for the quantum computing sector, Rigetti remains speculative as it generates minimal revenue ($5.1 million in Q2) and quantum computing is still an emerging technology.

A GlobalFoundries Director Sold Ahead of Earnings. Here's What Long-Term Investors Should Know

GlobalFoundries director Glenda Dorchak sold 4,000 shares (21% of her direct holdings) for $232,880 on July 20, 2026, ahead of the company's earnings report on August 5. The sale was executed under a pre-established trading plan and likely represents routine portfolio management before the earnings blackout period. While the stock had gained 41% over the preceding 12 months, it has since fallen over 40% from its May peak. The company's recent strength came from margin expansion and a strategic shift toward higher-value markets like automotive and communications, but faces headwinds from weak smartphone demand and customer concentration.
