In this article PLTR Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Palantir surged 10% in premarket trading on Tuesday after beating Wall Street's fourth quarter estimates amid rising spending on AI tools from governments and businesses. The shares popped after it reported $1.41 billion in revenue, ahead of LSEG estimates of $1.33 billion. The earnings came after a muted end to 2025 — November was Palantir's worst month in two years amid a broader decline in software stocks over fears of an AI valuation bubble. The stock ultimately rose 135% in 2025 but, at Monday's close, was down 17% year-to-date. CEO Alex Karp told CNBC's Morgan Brennan that the earnings were "the best results that I'm aware of in tech in the last decade." Stock Chart Icon Stock chart icon Palantir stock over the past year The company creates software and data tools for businesses and government agencies like the Department of Defense, the Internal Revenue Service. and the Department of Homeland Security. Karp noted that the adoption of its tools by the U.S. government saw year-on-year 66% year-on-year revenue growth. Palantir signed a software contract worth up to $10 billion with the U.S. Army in July, and a $448 million deal with the U.S. Navy to accelerate shipbuilding production in December. "Although Palantir's valuation is still frothy, it appears more reasonable relative to recent venture rounds for companies tied to the AI ecosystem," said Louie DiPalma, analyst at William Blair, in a note on Monday ahead of the earnings. DiPalma said the firm expected Palantir's operating margin to increase from 50% to 65% over the next five years as it increased government and defense contracts. The company has seen its work with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) come under scrutiny in recent weeks, after federal agents shot two protestors in Minneapolis.

Things are turning around, and investors want to be a part of the story. Coffee shop leader Starbucks (SBUX 0.23%) has disappointed investors over the past few years, but after cycling through four CEOs over the past four years, it might finally be turning around. Shareholders have had high hopes for star CEO Brian Niccol, who joined the company just over a year ago, and his action plan looks like it might be starting to bear fruit. Is the stock a buy for 2026? One cup at a time Starbucks is a massive coffee shop chain, with more than 41,000 stores worldwide. It's not easy to steer an organization that big and that entrenched in legacy systems, and the company has fallen behind in several important ways as global trends change. Wait times have been sluggish, prices are high, and the company's "third place" designation appeared outdated in the era of digitization. Niccol is actually leaning into the third-place status, but he's revamping the company's image, processes, and equipment to make it relevant to today's customer. The company has been more deliberate with promotions, has changed its marketing story, and has put a lot of effort into improving its throughput to get beverages into customers' hands quickly without compromising on quality. Starbucks may finally be demonstrating progress. In the 2026 fiscal first quarter (ended Dec. 28), revenue increased 6% year over year to $9.9 billion, while comparable sales were up 4% globally. Adjusted earnings per share declined 19% to $0.56. Niccol is heavily investing in the improvement strategy, which weighed on the bottom line, but he anticipates it will eventually lead to better margins and increased profitability when the investments pay off.

CapitaLand India Trust Management Pte. plans to raise as much as 50 billion rupees ($550 million) of rupee-denominated debt in India over the next three years, in an effort to improve tax efficiency and lower currency hedging costs, Chief Executive Officer Gauri Shankar Nagabhushanam said. The move marks a strategic pivot for the Singapore-listed trust as higher global interest rates and currency volatility prompt real estate firms to rethink their funding structures. Increasing local borrowings would allow the trust to avoid a 15% withholding tax on Singapore-based debt and trim hedging costs. Following the planned issuance, local currency borrowings are expected to account for as much as 50% of the trust’s loan book, up from about 16% currently, the CEO said in a media briefing on Tuesday. The company currently has S$300 million debt in India. CapitaLand India manages S$3.8 billion ($3 billion) of assets across IT business parks, industrial and logistics facilities, and data centers in India, according to latest filings.

The trust completed its first divestment in 2025, selling a 20% stake in three data centers that valued the assets at about 52 billion rupees. CapitaLand India Trust now reviews potential non-core asset sales regularly and would seek to generate around S$100 million in capital inflows, provided proceeds can be redeployed into higher-return assets or used to support distributions, Nagabhushanam added.

Hiroko Yoshida /iStock via Getty Images China has banned hidden electronic door handles on cars, making it the first country to outlaw the design popularized by Tesla ( TSLA ). Cars sold in China must be equipped with mechanically released exterior and interior door handles, excluding the tailgate, according to new safety rules issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The rules will be effective starting Jan. 1, 2027. Vehicle models that already received regulatory approval must comply with the new rules by Jan. 1, 2029. The new rules come after two fatal crashes in China involving Xiaomi ( XIACY ) ( XIACF ) electric vehicles, where power failures are suspected to have prevented doors from opening, trapping people inside. In the U.S., the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration received over 140 consumer complaints related to Tesla's ( TSLA ) doors getting stuck, not opening or otherwise malfunctioning since 2018, Bloomberg reported last year. At the time, the NHTSA said it was in communication with Tesla ( TSLA ) to gather data and determine whether a full probe was warranted. Most Tesla vehicles have a manual door release in case the regular handles fail. In Germany, a man and two children reportedly burned to death last year after the Tesla ( TSLA ) vehicle they were in crashed and caught fire, trapping the passengers in the car. European regulators are also considering stricter rules to regulate electric car door handles.

Changes are to be made to the Laws of Cricket to permit bats previously deemed illegal in an effort to make the game affordable for amateur players amid the rising cost of English willow. The Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) announced an amendment, external to Law 5.8 entitled 'categories of bat' as one of 73 changes which will come into effect on 1 October 2026 as part of a new edition of Laws being published. From that date the MCC will allow laminated bats - known as Type D bats - made with up to three wooden pieces to be used in open age recreational cricket. Type D bats were only previously allowed in junior cricket but the MCC said it has taken the step in an attempt to slow the rising costs of bats around the world. Lamination is typically where the English willow face is backed by cheaper and lesser-performing willow, such as Kashmir. Types A, B, and C bats are solid single-piece blades made from one piece of willow and it is expected that, at the top level of the game, bats will remain thus. Bat manufacturers will also be allowed to use woods other than willow behind the face of the bat as part of the law change. MCC Laws manager Fraser Stewart said the move comes following considerable time testing the bats in conjunction with manufacturers and any performance advantage from Type D bats will be "marginal at best". "We felt if anything can be done for the lower levels of the game that will help make the sport more affordable without changing the dynamics of the game then it's a sensible move to make," Stewart told BBC Sport. Last year the MCC held a conference at Lord's which brought together key stakeholders to debate the future of bat making. Central to discussions has been the reliance on English willow and the scarcity in availability of it, which has led to price rises in recent years. Bat prices are said to have trebled following increased demand from countries in South Asia, with some top-end models costing close to £1,000. "There's not really enough wi...
