Colas said that the bet is that Musk can replicate his track record of bringing the public interesting technology, but that it's not based on any math people can 'rationally model.'

Every weekday, the CNBC Investing Club with Jim Cramer releases the Homestretch — an actionable afternoon update, just in time for the last hour of trading on Wall Street. Stocks are trading higher Friday afternoon, with the S & P 500's gains pushing it firmly in positive territory for the week. That's quite the change after back-to-back losses on Tuesday and Wednesday, on the heels of last week's ugly finish . The market is receiving a boost from Iran peace deal optimism, as Iran's foreign minister posted on X on Friday that a memorandum of understanding "has never been closer." Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also said on X that a "final, agreed upon text of the peace deal has been reached," and Pakistan is working with the two sides to finalize the next steps. But nothing is guaranteed. A senior Trump administration official put the odds at 80% to 85%, well short of a sure thing. We remain cautiously optimistic that a deal will happen at some point. The oil market appears to share that view, with U.S. benchmark WTI crude down about 3% and trading below $85 per barrel. The other big story Friday is SpaceX's record-breaking initial public offering , with shares up over 25% as of this writing. The IPO brought in $100 million in fees for both Club name Goldman Sachs and rival Morgan Stanley. That's a nice chunk of change for the banks. For context, Goldman posted total equity underwriting revenue of $535 million last quarter . The smooth offering is also a reputation win. Goldman bankers can point to the success of the SpaceX deal as part of their pitch to Anthropic and OpenAI as those companies prepare to come public. Here are some of the biggest gainers in the portfolio during this topsy turvy week. Intel is in the top spot with a gain of more than 25% on a handful of good news. The stock soared Monday after The Information reported Google placed an order at Intel to make more than 3 million of its tensor processor units (TPUs) in 2028. The report also ment...

Hm! | Photo: Kristen Radtke / The Verge; Getty Images Elon Musk's SpaceX IPO will probably make him the richest person to ever walk the planet . And while his mountain of horrible personal conduct could fill multiple books, one fact in particular stands out: A year ago, Musk's actions directly led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. He did it knowingly. And, worse - gleefully. This is not a serious person , but his abuse of the world is deadly serious. In the first months of President Donald Trump's second term, the Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) destroyed the US Agency for International Development, whose mission was a boon to public health around the globe.

In November, Jeff Bezos announced that he would become co-CEO of a new startup called Prometheus. At the time, the startup said it would focus on "physical AI"—an increasingly common term for applying the same deep learning principles behind large language models or generative AI to things like robotics and manufacturing—but specifics were scarce.

In November, Jeff Bezos announced that he would become co-CEO of a new startup called Prometheus. At the time, the startup said it would focus on "physical AI"—an increasingly common term for applying the same deep learning principles behind large language models or generative AI to things like robotics and manufacturing—but specifics were scarce. Now, with a major new round of funding, Bezos and co-founder Vik Bajaj have talked about it in slightly more detail. The funding round is significant—$12 billion now, after an initial round of $6.2 billion last year, for a valuation of $41 billion. The funding comes from JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, and others, plus a sizable amount from Bezos' coffers. The startup currently employs 150 people. Much of that funding will be put toward buying compute. "O ne of the reasons we’ve had to raise a significant amount of funding is because... what we’re doing is very compute-intensive and we need to create that data," Bezos told CNBC.

Sundry Photography/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Kratos Defense & Security ( KTOS ) down 1.7% in Friday's trading despite receiving an upgrade to Overweight from Neutral at J.P. Morgan while cutting its price target to $82 from $99, saying the company is making good progress in hypersonics, tactical drones, turbojet engines, and other end markets, and the stock's 50-plus selloff since mid-January has brought the valuation to an attractive point. " The market is awarding a premium to fast-growing defense companies, and within that group, Kratos has distinguished itself by winning and executing new work, partnering with the industry's biggest players, providing more affordable high-end systems, and investing ahead of need, which is what DoD wants contractors to do," J.P. Morgan's Seth Seifman writes. Kratos ( KTOS ) has a solid track record of execution paired with a high-growth compound annual growth rate that Seifman forecasts above 20% during 2026-28 driven by strong positions in growth end markets. Cash flow is still negative but manageable, and Kratos ( KTOS ) has fortified its balance sheet, the analyst says, noting the company's expected cash flow of ~$100M this year would be smaller than last year's $137M and reflects capex and working capital to support anticipated topline growth, adding that Kratos is establishing capacity that should support production in areas where the company has some visibility.

Sundry Photography/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Salesforce ( CRM ) highlighted a 'headless' strategy as a potential driver of new growth that is not yet included in its guidance during an investor call with BNP Paribas. The headless strategy refers to the monetization of artificial intelligence agents as users of its software products. "While human usage of software is limited by employee productivity, engagement with agents has the potential to unlock monetization at a much larger scale," said BNP Paribas senior analyst Stefan Slowinski in an investor note. "Salesforce is developing MCP connections across its platform, allowing first- and third-party agents to access context and data and take action within Salesforce apps. Current per-seat API limits provide a starting point for metering headless engagement, but the company will continue to innovate in pricing/packaging, and the announcement of new headless monetization motions may provide a potential future catalyst, as may new outcome-based pricing options." Salesforce also noted that its Agentforce offering is experiencing rapid growth as "agentic work units" increased 111% quarter over quarter. "Agentforce for Service remains the largest use case, followed by AF for Sales and then the newly launched Slackbot, which is seeing 300%+ q.q. growth," Slowinski noted. "Slack is being positioned as the 'front door' to Salesforce's enterprise AI capabilities." However, these gains have been partially offset by incremental weakness in Tableau and Marketing & Commerce. "On capital allocation, the company will continue to pursue opportunistic M&A following a number of recent tech/talent-focused tuck-in acquisitions," Slowinski added. "Salesforce highlighted its recent acquisition of Contentful, a composable content platform, adding a personalized digital content platform to Headless 360. The company expects to continue its previous cadence of share repurchases, which were ~$13bn last year, following the accelerated re...
