The market digests an upgrade from William Blair on Palantir's stock as the company reports earnings after hours, today, Feb. 2, 2026. Expand NASDAQ : PLTR Palantir Technologies Today's Change ( 1.03 %) $ 1.51 Current Price $ 148.10 Key Data Points Market Cap $349B Day's Range $ 146.66 - $ 151.39 52wk Range $ 66.12 - $ 207.52 Volume 2.3M Avg Vol 45M Gross Margin 80.81 % Palantir Technologies (PLTR +1.03%), which develops data integration and analytics platforms for government and commercial clients, closed Monday at $147.78, up 0.81%. Shares initially moved higher following a William Blair upgrade before earnings. After hours, Palantir reported Q4 earnings that surpassed expectations, lending credence to this positive outlook. Trading volume reached 54.3 million shares, nearly 2% above its three-month average of 45.2 million. Palantir IPO'd in 2020 and has grown 1,456% since going public. How the markets moved today The S&P 500 rose 0.54% to 6,976, while the Nasdaq Composite added 0.55% to finish at 23,592. Among software infrastructure peers, Snowflake closed at $190.68 (-1.05%), highlighting divergent sentiment. What this means for investors Prior to Palantir’s earnings after hours, William Blair upgraded the stock to “outperform,” placing a $200 price target on the AI stock. An analyst at the firm projects that Palantir will generate $7 billion in free cash flow by 2030 as its solutions continue to be rapidly adopted by government and commercial customers alike. Hours after this pre-earnings analysis, Palantir beat Q4 earnings expectations and rocketed past Q1 2026 and full-year 2026 guidance, reinforcing the idea that Wall Street’s lofty hopes may not be that outlandish. Palantir grew sales by 69% in Q4 and expects 61% revenue growth in 2026. Total contract value in Q4 rose 138%. Valued at around 100 times next year’s free cash flow, Palantir is as expensive as ever, yet remains one of the most powerful stocks of the nascent AI era.
Investing in the crypto economy, rather than individual cryptocurrencies, could make sense in 2026. When it comes to crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs), investors now have plenty of options.

Investing in the crypto economy, rather than individual cryptocurrencies, could make sense in 2026. When it comes to crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs), investors now have plenty of options. The most popular ETFs are those that focus on a single cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin (BTC +1.85%) and Ethereum (ETH +3.74%). However, a growing number of high-upside crypto ETFs offer much broader diversification. For example, consider the Bitwise Crypto Industry Innovators ETF (BITQ 2.69%), which launched back in 2021. It offers exposure to companies leading the new crypto economy, but it does not invest directly in cryptocurrencies themselves. Can any asset outperform Bitcoin? There's a good reason the Bitwise Crypto Industry Innovators ETF does not get the attention it deserves. Simply put, it's almost impossible to out-Bitcoin Bitcoin over an extended period. Put another way, the returns for Bitcoin over the past five years have been so high that no single company -- with the possible exception of Bitcoin treasury company Strategy (MSTR 6.65%) -- can even come close. It's impossible not to be impressed by the following chart. Over the past five years, Bitcoin is up 154%. In contrast, the Bitwise ETF has barely managed to tread water. Since it's almost impossible to out-Bitcoin Bitcoin over a long enough period, investors have sought out innovative ways to get exposure to it. Until recently, that meant seeking out Bitcoin proxy stocks such as Strategy. But after the launch of the new spot Bitcoin ETFs in January 2024, it could also mean plowing money into exchange-traded funds. Today, over $100 billion has flowed into these Bitcoin ETFs, while only $450 million has flowed into the Bitwise Crypto Industry Innovators ETF. Should you invest in crypto or in the crypto economy? However, high upside potential is just part of the investment equation. Diversification is another key part. And that's where the Bitwise Crypto Industry Innovators ETFs really shines. It currently holds...

Rivian has the cash it needs to build it, but are mass market consumers going to buy the R2? Electric vehicle (EV) start-up Rivian (RIVN 2.14%) has made impressive strides in its attempt to break into the auto sector. It has an award-winning vehicle and has achieved scale production of its high-end trucks. It has important partners, like Amazon (AMZN +1.60%) and Volkswagen. What it doesn't have are profits. This is what you need to watch if you own or are thinking about buying Rivian. Rivian's next step Rivian currently makes delivery vehicles and expensive consumer trucks. Operating at the high end of the consumer market makes complete sense, given the company's low production volumes, since it is still just building out its EV business. Making cars is capital-intensive, and building factories even more so. If a company has only a small number of vehicles to spread its costs over, it will have to charge a lot for each car. The problem is the market size. There are far fewer people who can afford to buy expensive cars than there are people who can buy cheaper cars. This is why Rivian, having achieved production scale with its high-end vehicles, is now set to introduce a mass-market vehicle called the R2. The right move, but will it work? This is exactly what Rivian should be doing. More importantly, it is almost certain to get the R2 to market in 2026, as planned, thanks to the roughly $7 billion in cash it had on its balance sheet at the end of the third quarter of 2025. That's the good news. Expand NASDAQ : RIVN Rivian Automotive Today's Change ( -2.14 %) $ -0.32 Current Price $ 14.44 Key Data Points Market Cap $18B Day's Range $ 14.39 - $ 14.74 52wk Range $ 10.36 - $ 22.69 Volume 676K Avg Vol 46M Gross Margin -159.38 % The bad news is that there's no way to know if consumers will buy the vehicle in large enough quantities. If sales are too low, Rivian's business model may not work over the long term. And after spending so much money building out its manufacturing...

Waymo, the Alphabet-owned autonomous vehicle company, has raised $16 billion as it plans to grow its fleet of driverless taxicabs this year to more than a dozen new cities internationally, including London and Tokyo. Dragoneer Investment Group, DST Global, and Sequoia Capital led the funding round, which now values Waymo at $126 billion, the company said in a blog post Monday. Parent company Alphabet supported the round and maintained its position as majority investor. The round also included significant investments from Andreessen Horowitz and Mubadala Capital, as well as Bessemer Venture Partners, Silver Lake, Tiger Global, and T. Rowe Price. Additional investors included BDT & MSD Partners, CapitalG, Fidelity Management & Research Company, GV, Kleiner Perkins, Perry Creek Capital, and Temasek. Waymo said the funds will be used to fuel its growth, which has accelerated over the past year and doesn’t appear to be slowing. The company recently secured rides to and from San Francisco International Airport and has expanded its robotaxi service throughout Northern California and several major metropolitan areas in the U.S. including Los Angeles, Austin, and Miami. For years, the former Google self-driving project slowly progressed forward, testing its autonomous vehicle tech on public roads in Silicon Valley and the Bay Area and providing the occasional public or media demo. In 2016, it made its first geographic leap forward and began testing in Phoenix, where it eventually pulled its human safety driver out of the vehicles. Phoenix became Waymo’s first robotaxi market, in which the public could hail driverless Chrysler Pacific minivans. Waymo pushed down the accelerator in August 2023 after receiving the final necessary permit to operate a robotaxi service — and charge for rides — in California. It launched a limited service in San Francisco, later expanding to much of the greater Bay Area, Silicon Valley, and more recently to the freeways that connect the dozens of t...

kdrkara The U.S. dollar rose slightly on Monday as investors weighed modest gains in the greenback against mixed moves in U.S. interest rates. The dollar index ( DXY ) was last up 0.64% at $97.61, though it remains down about 0.65% year to date. Dollar weekly moves and key drivers: Over the past week, the U.S. Dollar Index, which tracks the greenback against a basket of six major currencies, slipped 0.03%, reflecting a shifting sentiment around U.S. policy signals and Federal Reserve leadership . It rebounded late in the week after President Donald Trump named Kevin Warsh as his pick for Fed chair, easing earlier concerns over central bank independence and supporting the greenback after it had fallen to near four-year lows. Graphical Representation (SeekingAlpha) The dollar extended gains on Monday as investors digested stronger U.S. manufacturing data and sought safety amid volatility across precious metals, cryptocurrencies, and oil, while markets largely looked past delays to U.S. economic data tied to a partial government shutdown. Earlier in the week, the greenback had come under pressure from speculation over possible yen intervention , warnings around risks linked to the yen carry trade, muted moves in Asian currencies ahead of the Fed’s policy decision, and broader debate over tariffs and the dollar’s longer-term role in global finance, keeping sentiment cautious. U.S. Treasury yields were mixed, with t he 10-year Treasury yield ( US10Y ) rising six basis points to 4.29%, while the 2-year yield ( US2Y ) slipped two basis points to 3.58%.

Highlights Oracle Corporation remains part of the technology sector, with a focus on enterprise software, database platforms, and cloud services tied to large organisations Ratings firms broadly describe sentiment as favourable overall, with a mix of sell, neutral Recent discussion around Oracle highlights cloud-scale demand signals, including high-profile workload activity that is framed as infrastructure capability rather than social media activity Oracle Corporation operates in the technology sector, supplying enterprise software and cloud services that support database management, application development, analytics, and middleware for organisations across industries. Oracle’s (NYSE:ORCL) profile in cloud infrastructure and cloud applications has grown alongside continued demand for large-scale computing linked to modern data and AI workloads, keeping the company in focus within major market benchmarks such as the S&P 500 and the Nyse Composite. How Do Ratings Firms Respond? Coverage from ratings firms reflects a wide spread of views expressed through standard labels used in research notes. Across the coverage set, the overall tone leans favourable, with buy-oriented labels outweighing sell-oriented labels, while a meaningful portion of coverage sits in neutral territory. This blend often appears when a large-cap technology name spans both mature software franchises and faster-growing cloud segments, which can invite different weighting approaches across research houses. Recent notes referenced in market commentary show multiple firms reaffirming their stance while revising their stated view on valuation framework, business drivers, or competitive context. Even when labels remain unchanged, the narrative emphasis can shift toward cloud infrastructure execution, platform adoption, and the pace of workload migration from traditional environments to hosted environments. What Themes Appear Repeatedly? A recurring theme is Oracle’s (NYSE:ORCL) continued push to positi...

Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:F) and Chinese tech giant Xiaomi (OTC:XIACF) have both denied reports of a potential collaboration to produce electric vehicles in the United States. Ford Reportedly Held Preliminary Talks With Xiaomi The Financial Times reported that Ford had preliminary discussions with Xiaomi about a joint venture, aiming to facilitate Chinese carmakers’ entry into the U.S. market. However, both companies have refuted these claims. A Ford spokesperson stated, "This story is completely false. There is no truth to it," according to the report. Similarly, Xiaomi denied any negotiations with Ford, emphasizing that they do not sell products or services in the U.S. Don't Miss: Missed Nvidia and Tesla? RAD Intel Could Be the Next AI Powerhouse — Just $0.85 a Share If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a 7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it? Despite the denials, the potential collaboration has sparked controversy in Washington. John Moolenaar (R-Mich.), chair of the House China committee, criticized the idea, suggesting it would increase U.S. dependency on China. Farley's Admiration For Chinese EVs Meanwhile, Ford CEO Jim Farley has expressed admiration for Chinese EVs, even importing Xiaomi’s SU7 model for personal use. Farley has previously warned about the competitive threat posed by Chinese carmakers to Western manufacturers. Adding to the complexity, the Pentagon has flagged Ford’s existing licensing deal with China’s CATL over alleged military ties, which CATL denies. The House China committee has also raised concerns about this agreement.

( PLTR ) reported strong earnings results on Monday evening, easily beating estimates and showing accelerating business growth. The market reacted very positively to that, sending PLTR's shares higher . While shares have pulled back from the highs seen last summer, Palantir Technologies still is a pretty expensive stock -- which is why it's not a must-own, despite its strong growth. Past Coverage I have written about Palantir Technologies here on Seeking Alpha in the past, most recently last fall, when I wrote this article . I gave Palantir a neutral rating back then, noting that its growth outlook was appealing, but that its high valuation made it a risky stock -- so far, staying on the sidelines played out well, as Palantir has seen its shares pull back since that article was published. With Palantir Technologies reporting its most recent earnings results on Monday, it is time for me to update my views on the company today. What Happened? On Monday, following the market's close, Palantir Technologies reported its fiscal Q4 earnings results . These were the headline numbers: Palantir Technologies earnings results (Seeking Alpha) We see that the company beat estimates on both lines -- this is, of course, a good thing. The revenue beat was 4.5%, with the earnings per share beat being even larger, at almost 9% -- estimates thus were outperformed very handsomely. And that was possible despite analysts already forecasting a pretty strong growth rate, but PLTR's actual results were even better than that, with revenues soaring by almost 70% compared to one year earlier. This, together with other strong metrics from the report, such as strong order intake, made PLTR's shares pop by 8% at the time of writing -- investors clearly are happy with what Palantir has achieved during the fourth quarter.
