Some polling stations had already closed and locked their electronic voting machines, while others continued accepting votes until 7 p.m., potentially creating differences in voting access across regions. Electoral lawyer Priscilla Sodré Pereira described the situation as serious. Electoral law professor Fernando Neisser said annulment could be possible if the result is close and evidence establishes that extended voting disproportionately benefited areas supporting one candidate. Any such outcome would depend on the evidence and a ruling by the relevant electoral authorities. **[Charles-Henry Monchau, CFA, CMT, CAIA](https://blog.syzgroup.com/author/charles-henry-monchau?hsLang=en)** | 26/10/2026 [equities|](https://blog.syzgroup.com/syz-the-moment/tag/equities) [magnificent-7](https://blog.syzgroup.com/syz-the-moment/tag/magnificent-7) #### [The largest pension fund in the US just cut its Mag 7 exposure by 26%!](https://blog.syzgroup.com/syz-the-moment/the-largest-pension-fund-in-the-us-just-cut-its-mag-7-exposure-by-26?hsLang=en) Calpers, the $640B giant, is rotating out of Big Tech. California’s $640bn pension giant is pivoting away from big US tech companies and boosting its exposure to private equity, underscoring concerns that the AI rally that has powered Wall Street to record peaks is running out of steam. “We have traded large exposure to seven companies for several hundred companies,” Anton Orlich, Calpers’ deputy chief investment officer, told the FT. “We are diversifying our equity risk. We are less concentrated.” His remarks came after Calpers, the US’s largest retirement fund for government workers, repositioned its portfolio in the first half of 2026, reducing the combined number of shares it directly held in the Magnificent 7 stocks — Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Nvidia, Meta and Tesla — by 26 per cent, according to FT calculations based on the fund’s regulatory filings. Calpers’ shift highlights the growing angst among many investors about the sustainability of a rally in tech stocks fuelled by massive spending on data centres and chips at the heart of the AI boom. Calpers’ pivot comes amid a several-year bull market in US stocks led by technology giants. Meanwhile, private equity funds, once a major driver of institutional returns, have struggled to sell or list companies in their portfolios.

Yesterday evening, Elon Musk warned that tighter lending could trigger failures and consolidation among more than 200 “neocloud” companies. The vulnerability: heavy borrowing to finance GPUs and data centers, with revenues dependent on continued AI demand. Construction delays, weak capitalization and underused infrastructure could leave some operators unable to cover costs or repay lenders. Pressure could intensify in 2027, particularly if hyperscalers prioritize their own computing needs. According to the account, SpaceX secured $40 billion in GPU-related debt financing, supported by revenues from Starlink and rocket launches. Smaller competitors often lack that financial cushion. The potential outcome: forced asset sales, bankruptcies and investor losses—even if demand for AI keeps growing.
