alexsl RBC Capital Markets on Friday initiated Guardant Health ( GH ) with an Outperform recommendation, citing promising growth prospects and a catalyst-rich period for the California-based cancer test maker. Analyst Dan Leonard highlighted two of the most significant near-term catalysts: the Medicare coverage decision for its minimal residual test, Guardant Reveal, in breast cancer and therapy response monitoring. Meanwhile, Guardant’s ( GH ) tumor profiling business is underappreciated due to factors including an underpenetrated market and the rising uptake of Guardant Reveal for therapy response monitoring, which he said can fuel demand for its blood-based cancer test, Guardant360 Liquid CDx. Additionally, the analyst cites near-term potential for the company to increase average selling prices across its portfolio, including for the newly approved Guardant360 Liquid CDx, which is listed at $8,455, compared to $5,000 previously. Leonard issued a $185 target on the stock, assuming ~12x EV/sales, a premium to the peer group median of ~6x due to accelerated sales growth for 2026–2028, estimated at 35% YoY versus ~23% YoY previously.

Sven Piper There is an 80% chance that Tesla ( TSLA ) and SpaceX ( SPCX ) will merge within the next year, according to Dan Ives, global head of Technology Research at Wedbush Securities. The analyst made the prediction during a Bloomberg interview ahead of SpaceX's ( SPCX ) highly anticipated IPO, which has drawn extraordinary demand from both retail and institutional investors. The SpaceX IPO, priced at $135 per share, has been oversubscribed by four times, with retail investors alone submitting orders totaling $100B. BlackRock is targeting a $5B investment in the offering, and Ives described the public debut as "a watershed moment not just for SpaceX but for Musk." The analyst emphasized that investing in SpaceX ( SPCX ) is fundamentally a bet on Elon Musk himself. "Anyone who's owning SpaceX, you're buying it for the Musk factor," Ives said. "And many that bet against Tesla ( TSLA ) and Musk going back a decade ago, that was proven historically wrong." Ives explained that the potential merger would be part of a broader strategic plan centered on AI and data. "We believe over the next year that Tesla ( TSLA ) and SpaceX ( SPCX ) [will] ultimately merge because I think that's part of the broader plan, specifically when it comes to AI data and all under that Musk ecosystem associated from a control perspective," he said. While SpaceX has built its reputation on space exploration and Starlink, Ives argued the company represents something more significant. "This is really more around data and AI," he noted, adding that SpaceX should be viewed as "much more of actually a data AI play than what I would call a traditional space play." Looking ahead, Ives positioned the IPO within what he called the "fourth industrial revolution," suggesting that data centers in space could become a reality within three to four years. He noted that the market is at an inflection point similar to previous technological transformations like cloud computing and the growth of the consumer in...
When you get right down to it, I was both right and right about the SpaceX (NASDAQ: SPCX) IPO. Right, because I predicted SpaceX IPO fever could drive space stocks higher. Indeed, shares of lunar landing company Intuitive Machines (NASDAQ: LUNR) gained 71% over the past four months. That's the good news. I was also right, unfortunately, about what would happen on the IPO date . And this in a nutsh...

RapidEye/E+ via Getty Images Our previous coverage on Oracle Corporation ( ORCL ) can be summarized as follows. Margins on new data center-loaded business (read as "inference AI" for those still buying this) will be far lower than anything anyone has ever seen for Oracle. OpenAI ( OPENAI ) is worth zero in our view, and hence any reliance on their remaining performance obligations (RPO) is a recipe for disaster. The massive change in debt trajectory is a clear existential risk for Oracle. Oracle will go to zero, if not literally, then figuratively (greater than 95% drawdown from peak), unless it alters its path. Oracle's latest results got a violent negative reaction on the stock. We go over the numbers and tell you how our thesis is being validated. Earnings & Outlook At first glance, there was nothing wrong with the numbers. Oracle delivered on the revenue front, and non-GAAP EPS grew 24% year over year. They also dropped in a nugget on their Total RPO, which grew by $85 billion. That is over the last quarter. Oracle Presentation The revenue breakdown showed that their "old-school" cloud applications still have the sizzle and delivered decent growth. Of course, it was the cloud infrastructure story that was the visual centerpiece. Oracle Presentation All of this might have looked like a layup for a 10% move up. Especially since Oracle has underperformed the benchmark by a huge margin since its peak in late 2025. Unfortunately, the stock dropped by a double-digit percentage. The key problem was the capex. There is no one who, at this point, does not know that Oracle is burning through cash about as fast as investors are dropping "to da moon" memes on the SpaceX ( SPCX ) IPO. But even then, the pace is still coming as a surprise to many. In 2026, Oracle blew through more than 3X its net income and 7X its depreciation number in capex. Oracle Presentation Q4-2026 Earnings But we think the real heart attack came on the slide, which showed the expected capex for fiscal ...
