Nissan’s reboun...

After Trump’s earlier steep tariffs — the highest in Europe — a compromise lowered rates to match the EU.

Palantir’s stock just got a major upgrade from analyst Gil Luria, who’s now calling it a buy with a $175 price target—30% upside. Why? Because Palantir’s AI orchestration platform lets businesses swap out AI models safely, avoiding the risk of relying on a single, potentially vanishing model. With U.S. commercial revenue up 130%, 42% more customers, and net dollar retention soaring 150%, Palantir’...

Penguin Solutions crushed it in Q2, sending their stock soaring nearly 20% as they massively beat earnings expectations and raised their full-year profit forecast. The star performer?

Microsoft is slashing 4,800 jobs and spinning off four Xbox studios in a major restructuring aimed at fixing its underperforming gaming division, which saw a 5% revenue drop despite overall company growth. While the move sounds promising for stock sentiment—especially with a low P/E ratio—it’s unlikely to be the headline-grabber investors are watching. The real focus remains on Microsoft’s massive...

Inflation’s path remains murky, with some fearing AI-driven tech costs could keep prices high, even as gas prices fall and tariffs fade. New chair Kevin...

The Fed holds steady on rates for now, keeping them between 5.25% and 5.5%, signaling a pause in their tightening campaign as inflation cools but remains above target. Balancing price stability with avoiding recession, the Fed’s cautious stance fuels market uncertainty, with hints of possible rate cuts later this year—if the economy holds up—or hikes if inflation persists. Their data-driven approa...

Tesla just smashed Q2 delivery records with over 480K cars—mostly driven by Europe—while U.S. deliveries dipped.

Palantir’s stock tumbled 4% amid whispers that Michael Burry, the housing crash prophet, may be shorting it — but don’t panic. Palantir’s defense contracts and massive free cash flow ($2.7B last year) make it uniquely resilient, even if its P/E looks steep. Burry’s bets may be speculative, but Palantir’s fundamentals still shine — and I’m not selling mine anytime soon. Listen in comfort: Get a dis...
