GMO Ransomware Attack Hits Japan's Credit Market, Bond Spread Widens 52 Basis Points in 5 Days

Odaily Report: After a publicly listed company under Japan's GMO Internet Group suffered a cyberattack, related risks are spreading to Japan's credit market. Data shows that the spread on a GMO Internet Group yen bond maturing in June 2031 widened to approximately 174 basis points on October 28, up from about 122 basis points on October 20—before the company disclosed the unauthorized access incident—reflecting investor concerns over damaged earnings and rising compensation costs.The GMO subsidiary that provides cloud services disclosed on October 21 that it had suffered unauthorized access and received a ransom demand of approximately 8 billion yen (about $50.7 million). The attackers subsequently published data they claimed contained customer information. GMO refused to pay the ransom and plans to compensate customers for their losses. Analysts noted that as AI-powered cyberattacks increase, such incidents could affect corporate financing and bond issuance arrangements.GMO Internet operates the cryptocurrency exchange "Z.com EX," which has obtained licenses from the Thailand Securities and Exchange Commission and the Thai Ministry of Finance. The exchange disclosed that it has been acquired, with the acquisition involving all shares of the target company held by shareholders including GMO Internet and its related subsidiaries. It remains unclear whether customer information data involves the related cryptocurrency exchange. (Bloomberg)

Bonk Guy: Onchain Meme Market Is Far From Bottoming Out, Historic Opportunities May Reappear

Odaily reports: Bonk Guy posted stating that the view that onchain trading and the Meme coin market have fallen into the worst period in history reflects a misperception within the crypto community (CT) regarding the current state of the market. Over the past 4 months, about 6 new tokens reached market caps of $100 million to $300 million or more, among which PONS started from zero and its fully diluted valuation (FDV) once reached $960 million, while the FDVs of tokens such as ANSEM, CASHCAT, AI, and STONK also all broke through $300 million at one point. In addition, dozens of new tokens surpassed $10 million in market cap, and despite the deterioration in market structure, tokens with sharp gains still occasionally emerge onchain.Bonk Guy compared the current market with previous downturn periods, noting that before the emergence of Robinhood Chain, the market went through a long stretch with almost no notable rallies; and after the launch of the TRUMP token last year and before the initial rise of BonkFun, there was also a period of about half a year during which almost no token could break through a market cap of $2 million to $5 million.He believes that although the current market is no longer in the broad rally phase seen a few months ago, this does not mean trading opportunities have disappeared. He expects the market may recover soon, even faster than most people anticipate, and suggests paying attention to tokens that have already demonstrated the ability to deliver outsized performance in the previous cycle, seeking opportunities during market pullbacks. The market is currently filled with pessimism and negative narratives, and investors should not be swayed by the noise. Historical experience shows that some previously strong tokens may not only return to their prior highs but even break through further once the next market cycle begins. The biggest opportunities often appear before market sentiment reverses and while mainstream investors have yet to change their views.

ARK Invest Releases Updated Tesla Valuation: Market Cap Could Reach $17.5 Trillion by 2031, with a Price Target of $4,400 per Share

ARK Invest has released an update to its open-source Tesla valuation model, projecting that Tesla will be worth approximately $4,400 per share by 2031. A Monte Carlo simulation based on 32 independent variables shows a bear case of around $3,300 per share and a bull case of around $5,000 per share, corresponding to annualized share price gains of 53% and 66%, respectively, with the base case implying an annualized return of approximately 62%.Under the base case, ARK Invest expects Tesla's total revenue to reach approximately $1.45 trillion by 2031, with EBITDA of about $902 billion and a market capitalization of approximately $17.5 trillion.To support the development of its AI and robotics businesses, the model also assumes that Tesla's cumulative AI infrastructure spending will increase from approximately $7 billion at the end of 2025 to approximately $225 billion by the end of 2031. Robotaxi is expected to become Tesla's primary source of value, contributing approximately 80% of enterprise value by 2031. The humanoid robot Optimus will also become an important growth engine, with Tesla's cumulative external sales of Optimus robots reaching approximately 1 million units by 2031, and revenue from robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) and related businesses amounting to approximately $212 billion.However, ARK Invest cautions that these valuations depend on multiple assumptions, including the pace of autonomous driving commercialization, the maturity of robotics technology, profit margins, and capital efficiency. Actual results may differ significantly from these projections. The model is for reference only and does not constitute investment advice.

Core Warning on US Stock Market Topping: Slumping Asian Chip Exports May Signal an Early Capex Peak; Once Earnings Expectations Reverse, High Yields Will Crush Valuations

Bloomberg macro strategist Simon White notes that the key to whether US equities can continue to rise lies not in the level of Treasury yields, but in Asian semiconductor supply chain data. The current resilience of US stocks is primarily underpinned by an exceptional projected earnings growth rate of up to 40% for the S&P 500 index over the next three years. The impact of high discount rates is temporarily offset by strong revenue and margin expectations, and the current rise in yields is driven by real interest rates reflecting actual economic growth, which have not yet posed a substantive threat to the stock market.
