Palantir’s $200 Target Meets Doubts on AI Growth

Palantir’s $200 Target Meets Doubts on AI Growth

Palantir Technologies stock moved just 0.15% higher to $135.73 in Monday afternoon trades, with little change after a tough stretch last week. The market cap was about $349 billion. Investors kept selling pressure on the shares as they tried to gauge new bullish opinions on the company’s AI software against a valuation that offers little margin for error. Arguments around Palantir have picked up as the company sheds its image as only a defense-data play with an AI tag. Q1 numbers showed strong gains in both government and commercial sales. Now, after dropping over 20% this year, the question is back—can the stock recover its past pace? Market writers are raising that issue once more.

Netflix stock drop gives fresh signal on streaming leader

Netflix stock drop gives fresh signal on streaming leader

Netflix stock inched up 0.3% to $82.39 on Monday, with shares moving between $81.43 and $83.06, but didn't come close to reversing its recent losses. The streaming company is facing a board change, sticking with its guidance, and now getting squeezed by Amazon and YouTube. Netflix’s big problem isn’t stalled growth, but disappointment after the first quarter set high hopes. The company kept its full-year guidance and saw founder Reed Hastings officially step off the board. Shares have fallen for eight sessions in a row, the longest drop since November 2022, down 24% since the April 16 report, Barron’s said last week.

Boeing Stock Gets New Trigger, Cash Still Main Question

Boeing Stock Gets New Trigger, Cash Still Main Question

Boeing’s 777X program, after years of delays, has passed a key regulatory test. Investors watching the turnaround got a new sign, but the focus is still on execution. Boeing Commercial Airplanes chief Stephanie Pope said the FAA signed off on Type Inspection Authorization Phase 4B tests for the 777-9. This phase lets FAA staff join flight and ground tests needed for certification. Boeing’s stock comes back around one big question: can it ramp up output, get delayed jets certified and convert a massive order book into cash before another slip? In April, Boeing reported first-quarter revenue of $22.2 billion. Free cash flow was negative $1.5 billion, and its backlog hit $695 billion. That total included more than 6,100 commercial planes.

Oklo Shares Climb After Manufacturing Pact, July Remains in Focus

Oklo Shares Climb After Manufacturing Pact, July Remains in Focus

Oklo shares moved higher Monday. The advanced nuclear company said it bought ARMEC, a precision engineering and manufacturing business in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Oklo said the deal, which closed June 4, boosts its internal capacity for advanced reactor and fuel-manufacturing work. The company called the acquisition another operating milestone for a stock that's still trading mostly on future data center power needs. Timing is key as investors watch two separate nuclear names. There are pre-revenue bets like Oklo, driven by licensing, fuel, and build-out updates. Then there are regulated utilities like Southern Company that already sell power to big users such as data centers. Oklo was last at $59.86 in late-morning New York action, up 3.0%, putting its market cap around $10.2 billion.

Alphabet AI Search Drives Wall Street Target Hikes, Cloud Margins Still Draw Scrutiny

Google parent Alphabet has placed an order for over 3 million TPUs with Intel for 2028, The Information reported, as the company moves its AI chip game further in-house.

Piper Sandler hiked its Alphabet price target to $445 from $425 on strong gains from Google’s AI-driven search, but UBS flagged that moving Google Cloud’s TPU backlog into revenue faster could weigh on margins.

Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF is seeing heavier flows as investors rotate into income plays and cheaper stocks after tech’s pullback.

Wall Street’s Chip Rebound Lifts Nasdaq — Inflation Test Comes Next

Wall Street’s Chip Rebound Lifts Nasdaq — Inflation Test Comes Next

Wall Street advanced in Monday morning trading, led by a rebound in chip and other technology shares, as investors moved back into the artificial intelligence trade after Friday’s sharp break in momentum. The Nasdaq Composite was up 1.43%, the S&P 500 rose 0.87% to 7,448.31 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.22%, Reuters market data from LSEG showed. The move matters because one of the year’s main market engines — demand for AI chips and computing power — had begun to look less certain. Monday’s bounce suggested investors were not ready to abandon the trade, even as they watched rates, oil and earnings risk more closely.

Oil Pops, Tech Moves Sideways as Iran-Israel Tensions Flare

Stocks opened up on Wall Street Monday, bouncing after a steep drop. Chip shares rebounded and some signs of calmer Middle East tensions seemed to outweigh early oil moves. The Dow Jones Industrial Average started up 0.26%. The S&P 500 opened ahead by 0.77%. The Nasdaq Composite jumped 1.38%. Markets now have to deal with two shocks at the same time: another inflation risk from higher oil and a rate scare after strong U.S. jobs numbers. Nonfarm payrolls increased by 172,000 in May and unemployment stayed at 4.3%, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics said. That report kept worries alive that the Federal Reserve could leave rates higher for longer.

Wall Street Hit With New AI Bubble Jitters as Doubts Grow

Wall Street’s AI rally is under pressure, with investors cautious on whether recent bets will deliver lasting profits. U.S. stocks edged higher Monday after Friday’s drop. At the open, the Dow was up 0.26%, the S&P 500 rose 0.77% and the Nasdaq climbed 1.38%, as chip stocks recovered and worries in the Middle East eased. Strong U.S. jobs numbers on Friday are making rate cuts look less likely. That’s weighing on growth stocks, which take a hit when rates rise since their value depends on profits years out. The Labor Department said payrolls grew by 172,000 in May, with unemployment steady at 4.3%.

It was the biggest daily percentage rise since April. The latest escalation followed Iranian attacks on U.S. positions in the Gulf and American counterstrikes. U.S. diesel futures also surged 14% as Russia blocked some exports in response to Ukrainian drone hits on Russian refineries. Margins for U.S. refiners jumped to records as political tension raised supply worries.
