$NVDA's Jensen Huang scandal could impact you even if you don't own the stock.

@BrookeDiPalma explains:

[Yahoo Finance @YahooFinance]

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has resigned, so what does that mean for the rest of the market?

Don't forget, Nvidia reports earnings on November 17 after the bell.

@BrookeDiPalma breaks it down:

In the chaos of this week, missed this — Starbucks launched an online merch store. Sweatshirts are going for $60-$70 for pre-order, and you can even add custom embroidery on the sleeve for an additional $15. #Starbucks

Some items already sold out. 🤔☕️

Oppenheimer just took the eye-opening move (at least from a stock analyst perspective) to completely remove its price target on Nvidia as the Jensen Huang saga ratchets up.

This action is usually done on sub $10 stocks with extreme volatility after a major negative event.

[Brian Sullivan @SullyCNBC]

Including the drop right now, Nvidia has now lost $2 TRILLION in investor value in a month.

$NVDA's market cap loss is larger than all of Meta, six of Intel or three combined ExxonMobils

Expensive stuff.

The one mature, fast-food industry sector growing demand is the beverage business. Coffee chain sales per @technomic grew 6% last year, compared to 1% for burgers. Brands like 7 Brew and Dutch Bros are soaring.

So why would struggling consumers opt for $8 drinks? Here are some thoughts:

First: Many of these chains are hot and the drinks are a natural for the social media crowd. So their expansion effectively creates demand.

Second: A lot of consumers instead of getting a snack at a fast-food chain or whatever may be opting for a drink instead.

Third: A lot of younger consumers don't eat three meals a day but have more, smaller meals. That works to the benefit of the drink chains.

Can this keep going? Well, like any popular business in the restaurant industry, when one idea does well, it attracts a whole bunch of competitors. So everybody's doing refreshers and dirty soda and energy drinks and whatnot, which will eventually spread that demand and hurt individual chains' performances. For now, though, it appears that the business of specialty beverages is humming along nicely.

Contrary to popular belief, the kiosk was not, at least initially, developed as a labor-saving device.

They first emerged at McDonald's locations in France in 2007, for a relatively simple reason, per the company's IOM President Manu Steijaert: Peak times in the country can get very busy, with hundreds of customers per hour.

The company's restaurants didn't have the capacity to add registers to handle that capacity, which led to lost customers.

So McDonald's France, where it's known as McDo, added kiosks into its restaurants to be able to handle that capacity. and realized that a lot of customers preferred them. They also generate higher sales, because customers feel less rushed ordering on a kiosk and will sometimes select more. The kiosk also always suggestive sells.

Kiosks quickly spread through Europe and are now everywhere in the U.S. They also tend to be divisive: Some customers hate them. Some love them.

[Deirdre Bosa @dee_bosa]

truly mind boggling

Bull case is Nvidia is bigger than Jensen so just buy the dip.... but history says otherwise. Every big shift (gaming, CUDA, AI) happened because he bet early when almost no one else would. Don’t see an obvious successor with that same instinct.

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

BREAKING: Nvidia, $NVDA, surges over +6% as investors buy the dip in the stock amid the Jensen Huang situation.

The stock has now erased yesterday’s decline.
