Finerman sees a buying opportunity in Nvidia’s board crisis

The big picture

Finerman Flips Amid Ouster Reports The new development since Monday’s Nvidia (NVDA) valuation debate is Karen Finerman’s bullish reversal today, as reports moved from scrutiny of Jensen Huang to a possible board-led removal. TechCrunch reported that the board was considering ousting him and that shares fell approximately 8% after hours, separate from the stock’s 13% weekly loss in Wednesday’s closing data. Previously bearish, Finerman now says she would start buying cautiously because a departure could clear an overhang, though she already owned some shares and acknowledged further downside. Guy Adami’s latest call rejects that timing: he expects another leg lower because a successor’s scrutiny could expose additional problems, without his alleging that any exist. This is a fresh disagreement over whether a leadership change resolves the uncertainty—not simply another argument that Nvidia looks cheap.

Melissa Lee: … New York Times. Developments keep coming, and we are watching the stock lower. Let's say he is out. Is there further to fall than this after hours move, you think?

Karen Finerman: Some, but I would start by here. Like this is, yeah. I think this was an event that would be a clearing event. I wouldn't be all in here. I mean, I'm already long some. So I …

A Rally Is Not Resolution Sunday’s debate over a peak in the Treasury risk premium now has a sharper distinction: a bond rally need not settle the longer-term outlook. The 10-year yield fell 36 basis points over the month through November 9, but the iShares 7-10 Year Treasury Bond ETF (IEF) subsequently fell 1% through Wednesday, indicating renewed upward pressure on yields. Stephanie Pomboy allows for a near-term rally but expects substantially higher 10-year yields in three years, preferring the front end rather than trying to trade long bonds. Doug Boneparth describes the tactical countercase: collect the coupon and seek price appreciation from falling rates over the short-to-intermediate term. Their horizons matter more than their opposing labels—a successful bond trade would not establish a durable peak in yields.

… 450 maybe but i think the path going forward long term for long rates is higher and i don't need to get cute trying to trade you know the next 30 40 basis points in a move where you know, three years from now, we're going to be looking at 10-year yields substantially higher. I do think that this notion that the Fed's going to have to get aggressive and tighten because inflation's out of control and growth is so strong is laughable and …

The day in signals

The Publisher, Not The Trade The New York Times (NYT) is generating conversation without a fresh investment thesis: PodLume Trends puts its podcast attention at No. 10 across 22 shows, but no expert has called the stock in the past 30 days. Its shares nevertheless rose 9% this week. The distinction is visible in Karen Finerman’s discussion: reporting by the Times helped frame her Nvidia buying argument, not a view on the publisher’s business.

Javers’s Senate Call Settles Eamon Javers’s November 4 expectation that Democrats would win both chambers now has a settled Senate result: the Democratic-control market closed YES. He tied his expectation to gasoline prices and polling, while acknowledging that the vote count remained unfinished. That confirms this Senate call, not his broader forecasting record or his subsequent policy expectations.

Karen Finerman: … in terms of either headwinds or tailwinds and pick the sector. But I know you're a macro guy that probably has to think about where policy will lead that way.

Eamon Javers: Yeah, I think you're right. So the base case here is clearly that Democrats will win in both chambers I've been pushing that view all year. We've seen that that's now expected, and it is driven by the gasoline price. I think we can see this in the polling …

Excel’s Defense Is Replacement Cost A compelling spreadsheet tool is not the same as an enterprise foothold: Lou Whiteman doubts Anthropic’s productivity suite will materially disrupt the market because customers must replace existing systems, whereas Microsoft (MSFT) can add competing features to what they already use. He also argues that Excel’s role as an add-on weakens the premise that a rival can attack a standalone revenue stream. Microsoft shares fell 6% this week, so his business-defense argument is hardly mirrored by the recent price.

… So they don't make a lot of revenue on Google. No, no. But the thing is, Microsoft doesn't really make a lot of revenue off of Excel anymore, either, because it's an add on. This is cute. This is neat. If anyone actually thinks this is going to make a hill of beans a difference in the enterprise market, I've got a bridge in Iowa to send you, to sell you. But, you know, it's neat they're doing it. It's a great IPO fodder. But if you, A, I think the biggest question investors should ask is, what's easier for them …
