Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... Palantir Technologies CEO Alex Karp defended the firm’s surveillance technology as it reported a big jump in sales on Monday, saying it has safeguards to prevent government overreach, without mentioning U.S. immigration enforcement efforts in Minnesota that have drawn widespread protests. The data analytics company said revenue derived from the U.S. government spiked 66% in the fourth quarter from the year-ago period to $570 million. Total sales of $1.41 billion exceeded analysts’ estimates and the firm anticipates a big jump in sales, in part due to government contracts in 2026. Shares of the company jumped 6% in extended trading. Companies working with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are attracting more scrutiny as Americans have turned solidly against ICE’s aggressive tactics following the fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens in separate incidents in January. The company won a contract last year with ICE to develop surveillance systems for immigration enforcement. Over the weekend, France’s CapGemini said it would sell a small U.S. unit that has a contract with ICE after criticism from French lawmakers and others. Denver-based Palantir has increasingly been marketing military-grade AI tools to businesses through its artificial intelligence platform that helps companies integrate and develop the technology. It has emerged as one of the best performing AI stocks, with shares gaining 1,700% over the last three years. “It should indeed be uncontroversial that the single most effective means of guarding against incursions into our private lives is to invest in the development of a technical platform that makes possible constraints on government action and investigation through granular permissioning capabilities,” Karp said in a letter to shareholders. He said the company’s tech ensures that the “state and its agents can see only what ought to be seen, and functional audit logs, to ensnare both external and int...

Key Points Bitcoin slumped this past weekend, along with precious metals and a range of risk assets. Given increased liquidations and heightened geopolitical risks, investors appear to be rotating out of once-popular trades. Here's what this price action may portend for Bitcoin investors moving forward. These 10 stocks could mint the next wave of millionaires › Weekend moves are fascinating to watch in the cryptocurrency sector, given the 24/7 trading capabilities that digital asset markets offer investors. For the world's largest token, a 6.5% drop from the close of trading on Friday for equity markets to 3:00 p.m. ET on Monday is significant. Indeed, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) is struggling to maintain key psychological levels, dropping below $80,000 per token for the first time in nearly a year. Let's dive into the voracity of this move and the key catalysts driving Bitcoin lower today. This is a multifaceted move driven by a number of key factors, so there's plenty to discuss. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » What's wrong with Bitcoin right now? Assessing where a given asset class sits on the spectrum of speculative/risk-on assets relative to safe-haven stores of value is difficult. However, when it comes to digital assets like Bitcoin that have multiple narratives surrounding their composition and performance over given periods of stress, I think it's becoming clearer to many investors that this is an asset which behaves much more like a meme stock or a highly volatile unprofitable tech company than a store of value such as precious metals or U.S. Treasurys. And while gold, silver, and U.S. Treasurys have underperformed over the past week, one would think that any asset viewed as a diversification tool would be viewed favorably by investors (at least relative to equities). That hasn't been the case, with increased volatility tied to growing macro concerns in the Mid...

Key Points Nebius offers a full-stack solution to its clients. The stock looks cheap when valued using 2026 estimates. 10 stocks we like better than Nebius Group › Finding an artificial intelligence (AI) trading at a sizable discount isn't that common. There is a ton of hype in this industry, and investors need to be careful not get caught up in it. However, there are a few areas that aren't quite fully valued yet, giving savvy investors a chance to scoop up potentially huge winners at a solid discount. One stock I think is rather cheap is Nebius Group (NASDAQ: NBIS). Nebius may look overvalued, but only if you don't factor in the monster growth management is already telling us about. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now, when you join Stock Advisor. See the stocks » Nebius should deliver explosive growth in 2026 Nebius's business model is very similar to a cloud computing one pioneered by big tech companies over a decade ago. Nebius owns and rents out space in data centers, where it puts cutting-edge graphics processing units (GPUs) from Nvidia. Then it rents out its capabilities to clients so they can train and run artificial intelligence models. Because it offers a full-stack solution, clients don't need to add ancillary services to make it work; they can get everything they need from Nebius. That's a huge advantage, which is why it's expected to grow at a ludicrous speed in 2026. At the end of the third quarter of 2025, Nebius had an annual run rate of $551 million. By the end of 2026, that figure is expected to be between $7 billion and $9 billion. That's huge growth, and it isn't fully priced into the stock yet. At first look, Nebius stock looks expensive at 60 times sales. However, that's using trailing revenue. If you know a company's growth is going to explode in the next year, that's the wrong measure to use. If you value the stock using analyst revenue projections, then ...

(RTTNews) - In a significant legal challenge, Meta (META), the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, is set to face a landmark jury trial in Santa Fe, New Mexico, starting on Monday. The case, brought by the state's attorney general, Raúl Torrez, alleges that the tech giant knowingly exposed children to serious harm on its social media platforms. The lawsuit claims that Meta prioritized user engagement and profits over child safety, enabling predators to exploit minors for sexual abuse, solicitation, sextortion, and human trafficking. State prosecutors plan to present evidence demonstrating how Meta's internal decisions contributed to a dangerous online environment for children. Meta has strongly refuted the allegations, stating that the company has spent over a decade collaborating with parents, experts, and law enforcement. The company also points to recent initiatives, such as Teen Accounts and expanded parental controls, as evidence of its commitment to protecting young users. The trial follows a 2023 investigation that highlighted Meta's struggles in preventing child trafficking on its platforms. This case comes just days after another high-profile lawsuit in Los Angeles, where families and schools accuse major tech companies of harming children's mental health. The proceedings are expected to last around seven weeks, and legal experts believe the case could further test the limits of longstanding US protections that shield tech platforms from liability. This pivotal moment marks a significant step in the growing push to hold Big Tech accountable for child safety online.

Nastco Bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) is down 11.7% so far this year and about 20% from a year ago. However, on Monday, the cryptocurrency staged a little recovery of +1.8% that might bring some hope to investors. Nevertheless, shares of crypto exchanges did not follow suit , and crypto-related stocks such as Coinbase ( COIN ), Strategy ( MSTR ), Circle Internet ( CRCL ), and HIVE Digital Technologies ( HIVE ) were down significantly. Moreover, Strategy ( MSTR ) saw Bitcoin’s ( BTC-USD ) price drop below the treasury company’s average price paid on its 713,502 BTC of about $76.1K each during the early hours of Monday’s trading session. Seeking Alpha analyst Lucas Vienna sees Bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) as a “strong sell” due to lower interest rates, which should push the price of the crypto lower instead of higher. “When interest rates increase, fixed-income assets lose value, and investors, knowing that interest rates are easier to predict and may continue to increase, instead of holding a ‘fixed-income’ asset that will lose value in the short term, they cut losses and invest in riskier assets, like Bitcoin,” he said in a recent analysis . In addition, “every four years, BTC gets scarcer by cutting in half (halving) the reward given to miners on the BTC blockchain, but in the third year of the cycle, prices have always crashed, and we are amidst the third year of this cycle,” Vienna explained. Katie Stockton, founder and managing partner of Fairlead Strategies, also gave a stark warning about the cryptocurrency. She said that a close below $89,000—currently at $78,226—confirms a breakdown below its cyclical uptrend, representing “a long-term setback,” adding that Bitcoin may be entering a bear market cycle where “each relief rally should give us a lower high.” “In the previous corrections of Bitcoin ( BTC-USD ), our composite momentum indicator bottomed at the zero line. In contrast, in the current selloff, this indicator has broken below the zero line, but it is not extremely overso...

Chipmaker NXP Semiconductors NV reported slightly slower growth in the automotive market than anticipated last quarter as the company pursues a comeback. Auto revenue rose 4.8% to $1.88 billion in the fourth quarter, the Dutch semiconductor company said in a statement on Monday. Analysts had estimated $1.89 billion on average, with some projections reaching as high as $1.97 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The shares fell more than 5% in late US trading after the results were released. The stock had been up 6.5% this year through the close. Concerns about the pace of NXP’s recovery overshadowed a generally upbeat sales forecast. Revenue will be $3.05 billion to $3.25 billion in the first quarter, NXP said. The midpoint of that range would top the average analyst estimate of $3.09 billion. NXP largely supplies chips to the automotive industry, which makes up more than half the company’s revenue. Its processors use mature technology and power functions such as driver safety, vehicle connections and infotainment systems. The company, along with peers ST Microelectronics NV and Texas Instruments Inc. , has struggled with the impacts of a post-pandemic chip supply glut. Automotive and consumer electronics customers stockpiled chips in response to pandemic shortages, and have been slowly working through an oversupply. US President Donald Trump ’s tariff threats further delayed recovery. NXP said last year that the glut may finally be coming to an end and pointed to its “massively” accelerating auto business. Chief Executive Officer Rafael Sotomayor , who took the job in October, has said he sees “signs of a cyclical recovery.” NXP reported total revenue of $3.34 billion for the fourth quarter of 2025, in line with projections. NXP’s adjusted operating margin came in at 34.6% in the period, compared with an estimates of 34.7%. Last week, STMicro, which supplies chips to Apple Inc. , forecast first-quarter revenue that beat analysts’ estimates after demand ...

Tesla electric vehicles in San Francisco on Jan. 23. (David Paul Morris/Bloomberg) [Stay on top of transportation news: Get TTNews in your inbox.] California Gov. Gavin Newsom outlined plans for a $200 million electric vehicle subsidy in the Golden State that would represent a major boost to Elon Musk’s Tesla Inc. and other EV makers in the state. Under the new program, passenger vehicles priced at or below $55,000 would qualify for the rebate, along with $80,000 for vans, SUVs and pickup trucks and $25,000 for used vehicles, Newsom’s office said in a statement. The cutoff would mean some of Tesla’s most popular models, as well as one variation of its Cybertruck, would qualify for a rebate at current prices. RELATED: EPA Rejects CARB Plan to Test Out-of-State Truck Emissions The plan, which still needs to be approved by California lawmakers, marks a turnaround for Newsom. In 2024, the Democratic governor had committed to backfilling federal EV tax credits cut by the Trump administration, but an initial proposal would have excluded some of Tesla’s best-selling models. The proposal drew the ire of Musk, who called the plan “insane,” and was later dropped due to budget constraints. “The Trump administration’s reckless retreat has created unprecedented uncertainty for automakers and families alike,” Sarah Swig, a climate adviser to Newsom, said in a Feb. 2 statement. “California is proud to partner with automakers who are committed to the transition to a zero-emission future through shared investment to keep costs down and drive the market forward.” RELATED: Pilot, Tesla to Build Charging Sites for Semi at Truck Stops California is the country’s biggest EV market, and Newsom’s proposal would be a boon for struggling manufacturers — in particular for market leader Tesla. Newsom, who was an early owner of a Tesla, has said that Musk’s company wouldn’t exist if it were not for an earlier version of California’s EV incentive program that started in 2010. “There is no Elon M...

Apollo Says Risk of Yen Carry Unwind as Speculators Cut Bets Read the Story The White House is set to launch Project Vault—a strategic critical-minerals stockpile with $12 billion in seed money—to insulate manufacturers from supply shocks as the US works to slash its reliance on Chinese rare earths and other metals.
