Morgan Stanley: North American Internet Stocks Are Attractive, Valuations Diverge Among Leading Companies

According to TechFlow, a Morgan Stanley research report dated October 13, 2026 shows that for the week ended October 9, U.S. internet stocks rose by approximately 2% on a market-cap weighted basis. The sector's forward 12-month EV/EBITDA stands at approximately 12.6x, representing a discount of roughly 7% and 16% against the five-year and ten-year averages, respectively. Morgan Stanley rates the North American internet sector as "attractive," although valuations among top companies remain inconsistent. Amazon and Meta trade at approximately 13% and 10% below their respective two-year averages, while Alphabet trades at a premium of about 4%. The report further estimates that treating stock-based compensation as cash expenses leads to median increases in expected 2026 EV/EBITDA of approximately 26% for e-commerce companies and 38% for digital media companies, indicating that equity compensation costs significantly influence valuation outcomes.

Bubblemaps: A KOL is suspected of front-running token calls using linked wallets, having profited $130,000

On-chain analytics platform BubbleMaps has flagged crypto KOL Anglio, who has around 200,000 followers, for alleged insider trading and dumping via linked wallets, accumulating approximately $130,000 in profits. Data shows that among the 534 token recommendations Anglio posted over the past two weeks, five affiliated wallets bought in advance ahead of 61% of these recommendations being published, and dumped just minutes later. His typical operating pattern is as follows: the five side wallets purchase tokens an average of 20 seconds before a recommendation is posted, followed by his public wallet (2ksQ77) stepping in. Once he publicly shares the token pick and prices reach their peak, the side wallets begin liquidating an average of four minutes later, with the public wallet finalizing the sell-off.
