Citi Axes NVIDIA TP by 10% to USD285; Investors Focus on 2028 Visibility and Order Backlog

Citi issued a research report on NVIDIA (NVDA.US), which will announce its quarterly results for the period ended Oct on 17 Nov. The broker forecast results and guidance to deliver a modest EPS beat, with stronger sales but lower gross margin due to rising prices of HBM. The broker expected NVIDIA to reiterate its previous outlook for 70% YoY revenue growth in FY2028 (CY2027).

Investors are focused on 2028 order visibility and backlog conversion, particularly among neocloud customers, supply constraints, Rubin ramp-up, and the investigation involving CEO Jensen Huang.

Citi believed investor focus has shifted from AI demand to AI deployment risks. Demand for 2027 appears largely locked in, while the key risk lies in 2028 order visibility and backlog conversion. The independent CEO review also casts a shadow, with long-term leadership stability risk becoming one of investors' primary concerns.

The broker maintained its earnings forecasts unchanged but axed its TP by 10% to USD285 to reflect lower market multiples and long-term CEO sustainability risks. It maintained the Buy rating.

BofAS Lists 3 Potential Scenarios for NVIDIA Jensen Huang Incident

NVIDIA (NVDA.US) launched an independent review over concerns related to CEO Jensen Huang's alleged affair, adding uncertainty at governance and policy levels, BofA Securities published a research report stating. The board said there is no reason to believe company secrets or national security have been compromised.

In BofA Securities’ opinon, the investment focus is whether the incident remains an isolated company issue or triggers restrictions and disrupts the broader AI infrastructure ecosystem. Allegations should not be equated with confirmed business damage. The broker maintained its Buy rating and USD350 target price on NVIDIA.

The broker outlined three scenarios. First, the matter is contained, with leadership continuity being maintained and no major findings emerging, allowing fundamentals to regain focus. Second, uncertainty persists, with pressure on valuation before earnings are affected. Third, the situation escalates, with adverse findings, leadership changes or tighter restrictions requiring earnings reassessment. The broker stressed that the key is to distinguish headline risk from substantive changes in customer access, orders and execution, rather than assuming the issue can be resolved swiftly.

If investment in the new ecosystem turns more cautious, financing-dependent AI projects could slacken, representing a second transmission risk that may affect demand for memory, networking and equipment, although this remains a scenario rather than an announced response.

If NVIDIA becomes distracted or faces greater scrutiny, computing suppliers such as Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD.US), Broadcom Inc. (AVGO.US) and Marvell Technology, Inc. (MRVL.US) could potentially gain more business. However, if scrutiny broadens, any US supplier selling to China, including those involved in computing, networking, semiconductor equipment and electronic design automation, could face greater volatility.

澳門管樂協會成立30周年以及澳門巴黎人開業十周年之際,金沙中國於11月7日攜手澳門管樂協會於巴黎人劇場呈獻「三十年華‧傳承樂章—澳門管樂協會成立30周年會慶音樂會」。

「三十年華‧傳承樂章––澳門管樂協會成立30周年會慶音樂會」於11月7日圓滿演出。活動為「金沙中國表演藝術計劃」年度表演項目之一,陣容空前鼎盛,匯聚18支本澳演出隊伍,樂手年齡橫跨8歳至40歲,更有自小加入澳門管樂協會、現投身職場仍堅持參演的歷屆團員;當中包括澳門管樂協會屬下四支樂團、本澳三隊澳門青年音樂比賽得獎室內樂組合,以及11所本澳學校管樂團的青年成員。此外,首次來澳作演出嘉賓的法國知名阿梅特管樂家族(Amet's Family)亦應邀獻演。演出的三兄妹年僅12至15歲,屢獲國際獎項,包括青年長號演奏家Guillaume Amet、圓號新星Diane Amet、單簧管演奏家Baptiste Amet,與本澳青年樂手攜手獻演,以音樂搭建跨文化交流橋樑,透過藝術交流互相啟發,共同成長。

澳門管樂協會簡介

澳門管樂協會為澳門政府註冊之非牟利音樂團體,成立於1996年。過去三十年來,協會一直秉承其成立宗旨,不遺餘力地推動本澳管樂演奏活動與發展,並積極於本澳多所學校進行管樂培訓。現時會員包括管樂團指揮、樂器導師及學生等。協會堅守「紮根澳門,放眼世界」的理念,積極推動澳門管樂藝術的蓬勃發展。為加強與亞洲及國際管樂組織的緊密聯繫,協會於1998年加入亞太管樂協會(APBDA)成為會員,並於2006年8月以東道主身份,成功承辦了於本澳舉行的《第十四屆亞太管樂節》。

隨著管樂藝術的深化發展,協會至今已建立起完善的樂團梯隊體系,下設澳門青年管樂團
(YSB)、薩克管重奏團、敲擊樂重奏團、爵士樂團,以及銅管、木管等不同形式的室內樂組合。年前,協會更組建了由本地專業管樂手組成的「澳門交響管樂團」,並於年度盛事中擔綱演出。2025年,協會進一步成立「澳門傳承管樂團」(Macau Continuo Winds / MCW),旨在為已踏入社會但依然熱愛管樂文化的協會成員及校友,提供可持續的專業訓練與展演平台。

協會每年主辦多個不同規模及形式的管樂活動,其中最具代表性、舉辦超過二十年的《澳門管樂藝術節》(前身為《澳門管樂繽紛大匯演》)在港澳以至大中華地區享負盛名。其他常設的年度品牌項目包括《青管專場系列》、《青管重奏系列》、《與大師有約系列》、《澳門青年音樂家系列》、《樂友匯聚系列》及各類《大師班及工作坊》等演藝與實踐活動。

Anthropic Said to Raise IPO Valuation to at Least USD1.5T, May Price Share Above USD78 Upper End

Less than a day after Anthropic disclosed plans to go public next week at a valuation of USD1.4 trillion, the company received strong investor demand for the IPO and is evaluating raising the offer price to lift the target valuation to USD1.5 trillion or above, Financial Times, citing sources, reported.

Prior to this, Anthropic had announced an IPO price range of USD70-78 per share, with plans to issue 820 million shares to raise USD64.35 billion. The company is anticipated to price the offering next Wednesday (18th) and list next Thursday (19th).

Anthropic is reportedly expected to raise the share price to above USD78. The latest pricing would also increase the total IPO fundraising amount to more than USD100 billion. Sources said Anthropic's current priority is to raise as much capital as possible through the listing to support massive spending on computing power, rather than maximizing the company's valuation.

Tigermed to Participate in the Privatization of Frontage Holdings Corporation and Divest Its Overseas Laboratory Services Business

HANGZHOU, China, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hangzhou Tigermed Consulting Co., Ltd. (Stock Codes: 300347.SZ / 3347.HK, hereinafter referred to as "Tigermed"), a leading global provider of integrated research and development solutions for biopharmaceutical and medical device industry, today announced its proposal to participate in the privatization of its controlled subsidiary Frontage Holdings Corporation (Stock Code: 1521.HK, hereinafter referred to as "Frontage"), through its wholly-owned subsidiary Hongkong Tigermed Co., Limited. Through a subsequent asset restructuring, Tigermed also proposes to divest Frontage's overseas laboratory services business to Charles River Laboratories International, Inc. (NYSE: CRL, hereinafter referred to as "Charles River") and Dr. Song Li, Chairman of the Board of Frontage, and his trusts while retaining Frontage's China business.

The overseas laboratory services business proposed to be divested include preclinical research, laboratory testing, chemistry and CMC services, etc., which is of a different nature to Tigermed's core clinical CRO business. Furthermore, divesting overseas laboratory facilities located outside China allows Tigermed to optimize its strategic planning, capital allocation and operational improvement, which aligns with Tigermed's long term strategy.

The proposed divestment will enable Tigermed to further focus on clinical CRO business, optimize resource allocation, enhance operational efficiency, and strengthen its clinical service capabilities and competitive edge in China markets. In addition, by consolidating the retained laboratory services business in China, Tigermed will be able to streamline business management, strengthen end-to-end capabilities across the full clinical trial value chain, and better advance its long-term strategic objectives.

Tigermed is expected to receive proceeds and record investment gains through the privatization and the subsequent asset restructuring of Frontage in which Tigermed acquired a controlling stake in 2014. The gains on disposal of the overseas laboratory services business create value for Tigermed shareholders. The opportunity to redeploy the proceeds to further develop Tigermed's core clinical CRO business and enhance shareholder return could create further value for Tigermed shareholders.

Dr. Xiaoping Ye, Co-founder and Chairman of Tigermed, said: "Our proposed participation in the privatization of Frontage, together with Charles River and Dr. Song Li, and the subsequent divestment of its overseas laboratory services business, represents an important strategic decision in advancing Tigermed's long-term development strategy. It also embodies our commitment to proactively transforming and optimizing our business portfolio. We believe these changes will create greater opportunities for business growth, deliver higher-quality services to our clients, generate sustainable long-term value for our shareholders, and ultimately contribute to bringing better healthcare products to patients."

The proposed privatization and subsequent asset restructuring remain subject to the satisfaction of relevant conditions precedent and implementation requirements. For further details, please refer to the relevant announcements released by Tigermed and Frontage.

In its heavy-duty gas turbine business, Shanghai Electric (SEHK: 02727, SSE: 601727) is combining equipment engineering expertise with production and operating data. Applications span flexible blade manufacturing, inspection and servicing, as well as intelligent operations and maintenance (O&M), reflecting the company's broader efforts to advance AI-enabled manufacturing.

Flexible Blade Manufacturing

Manufacturing critical components is an essential capability for gas turbine suppliers. Blade production involves different sizes, shapes and machining routes, requiring automated equipment to accommodate multiple blade types and process requirements. Shanghai Electric's flexible manufacturing line combines AI vision, digital twins, intelligent scheduling and robotics to support mixed-model blade production and automatic changeovers.

Using 3D vision and AI, the system identifies blade blanks in randomly stacked piles, then picks and positions them. Picking accuracy exceeds 99.99%. The line integrates production scheduling, manufacturing execution and quality management systems, linking loading, machining, inspection and final packing. It can switch between fully automated production and standalone machine operation, providing flexibility to support production continuity.

AI-Assisted Quality Inspection

Alongside production flexibility, quality assurance is another focus of Shanghai Electric's AI applications. Rotors are high-value, critical components in major power generation equipment, and weld quality directly affects their safe operation. To address the challenges of inspecting machined features on large components, the company has developed an AI-based visual inspection terminal that combines AI, robotic control and welding expertise. It provides real-time monitoring throughout welding operations to identify quality defects at an early stage.

The system's embodied AI architecture combines a collaborative robot with a custom end effector. The arm can extend and retract at the touch of a button and automatically adapt to the welding cycle. Using 5G connectivity, the system completes image analysis and returns inspection results within seconds. A data feedback loop links shop-floor observations, process optimization and quality traceability, turning practical manufacturing experience into digital knowledge that can be retained and reused.

Data-Driven Operations and Maintenance

The applications extend from manufacturing and quality inspection to long-term plant operation. Shanghai Electric's SIMPLE intelligent operation and maintenance platform draws on data from more than 60 turbine units, with over 1 million cumulative operating hours. It combines AI with knowledge of gas turbine operating principles to support real-time performance monitoring, dynamic optimization of operating performance and early warnings of potential faults.

Through cloud-edge coordination, the platform links design and operating data in a decision-support workflow covering monitoring, early warning, diagnosis and corrective action. This supports a shift from reactive repairs to proactive maintenance. Remote collaboration tools complement these capabilities, allowing experts to view live footage from plant sites and provide maintenance guidance through augmented reality annotations, supporting technical assistance across locations.

Shanghai Electric will continue to advance data integration across the gas turbine lifecycle, using feedback from manufacturing and operations to refine design, production and after-sales service. As it looks to international markets, Shanghai Electric will continue to validate and refine these capabilities in real-world projects. The company aims to meet power plants' needs for reliable operation, timely maintenance support and cost-effective operation over the long term, laying the foundation for the international expansion of its gas turbine business.
