Key Points Palantir's mission and pioneering role in defense tech resonate with younger investors. Gen Z seems to be obsessed with Palantir's CEO, Alex Karp. 10 stocks we like better than Palantir Technologies › When OpenAI commercially launched ChatGPT at the end of November 2022, shares of Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR) were trading for $6. Today, the stock is trading for around $170. The obvious catalyst behind Palantir's parabolic rise is its ability to monetize artificial intelligence (AI) in the enterprise software environment. One thing that separates Palantir from its peers is its apparent appeal to Gen Z investors. 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 » Below, I'll detail three reasons behind Gen Z's support for Palantir and explain what makes the company unique. 1. Palantir's mission resonates Younger people are often disillusioned by gigantic companies in large part due to their hollow mission statements and overly corporate image. For a generation exposed to a lot of geopolitical unrest, a business that's acutely focused on national security and meaningful problem-solving through the power of AI makes Palantir interesting. Supporters see Palantir as an innovative disruptor to incumbent defense contracting businesses that lack a tech-enabled appeal. 2. Alex Karp's personality appeals Perhaps the biggest factor influencing Gen Z's affinity for Palantir is the company's CEO, Alex Karp. Karp is the opposite of many public company CEOs. Instead of reading from a script that a PR executive drew up, Karp shares his raw thoughts. During earnings calls and interviews, it is not uncommon for Karp to go on an intense, philosophical rant to explain what he thinks makes Palantir superior to enterprise software dinosaurs. Karp's unpolished character resonates with Gen Z, as they view the founder as more of a corporate influencer rather than an unrelatable, media-train...

There's one sector-specific ETF that has seen a lot of investor attention recently. If you look at the top of the list of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) with the most recent net inflows of investor capital, some of the names aren't likely to surprise you. For example, the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF, which is the largest ETF in the entire market, is seeing strong inflows right now, as is the Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF, a very popular choice for investors' fixed-income allocations. However, there is one sector ETF that has seen greater inflows than either of these recently. It is State Street's Financial Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLF +0.64%), which is designed to track bank stocks, insurance companies, and other financial services companies. Let's take a closer look at this ETF and why investors might be optimistic right now. The Financial Select Sector SPDR As the name suggests, the Financial Select Sector SPDR ETF is an index fund that tracks the financial sector, which includes banks, insurance companies, and other financial institutions. More specifically, the ETF tracks a weighted index and owns 76 stocks, most of which are large-cap financial companies. The largest holding is Berkshire Hathaway -- which is technically an insurance company at its core -- followed by JPMorgan Chase, Visa, Mastercard, and Bank of America. It is a rather top-heavy index, with the top 10 holdings accounting for 55% of the assets.

This means that for every $10,000 in fund assets, your annual investment costs will be just $8. (Note: This isn't a fee you have to pay, but it will be reflected in the performance over time.)

This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN, Financials) has been awarded a $581.3 million contract from the U.S. Air Force to provide cloud services under its Cloud One Program, the Department of Defense's initiative to modernize and consolidate computing infrastructure. The firm fixed price contract covers Amazon Web Services cloud support for the Air Force and its affiliated users at AWS sites in the contiguous US. The program improves Air Force cloud computing security, scalability, and efficiency. The Massachusetts based Air Force Life Cycle Management Center will manage the contract until Dec. 7, 2028. When awarded, $3.5 million from fiscal 2026 operations and maintenance monies was obligated. AWS competes with Microsoft and Google for government modernization projects in defense and public sector contracts. The Department of Defense's digital transformation activities have increasingly used hybrid and multi cloud infrastructure, including Cloud One. Investors will scrutinize how the multi year pact boosts AWS's revenue in Amazon's cloud business, a major profit driver. Early February's quarterly earnings report will be the company's next catalyst.

Phiwath Jittamas/iStock via Getty Images Co-authored with Beyond Saving There is a frequent discussion amongst investors about which is "better" – high yield or dividend growth. Young investors are often lured by the idea of buying a company, holding it for 20 years, and the dividend growing every single year. It is a very appealing picture that has a few practical problems. For starters, predicting is hard, especially about the future. It is difficult enough to predict that a company is still going to be in business in 20 years and that it won't get bought, go private, merge, or even go bankrupt. Many things can change over 20 years. The second problem is that dividend growth takes a long time. A 3% yield growing at an annual rate of 10% will take 14 years of dividend growth to reach a 10% yield. So you have a choice: you can invest at 3% today, and maybe you'll have a 10% yield on your capital in a decade or two. Or you can invest in holdings that have a 10% yield right now, and you'll get 10% next year. It is true that investments with high yields do tend to pay out most of their earnings. As a result, high-yield investments will sometimes reduce their dividends as conditions change. If a company is paying out 100% of earnings, and earnings decline, then they will have to cut their distribution. In the case of RICs (Regulated Investment Companies), companies are required by tax law to distribute the majority of their taxable income. As a result, they can't maintain a large cushion between earnings and their payout, and dividends should be cut when earnings decline to avoid dilution. The flip side of that reality is that investments that tend to pay out a high portion of their earnings will increase their distributions when their earnings climb. Today, we are going to look at two companies that have cut their dividends in the past when their earnings went through a downcycle. In 2026, we expect both of these companies to see higher earnings, and that will lead to ...

American Airlines ( AAL ) reported revenue rose to $14.0B in Q4, despite the government shutdown negatively impacting revenue in the fourth quarter by approximately $325 million. Passenger revenue was up 2.1% during the quarter to $12.7B. Notably, year-over-year passenger unit revenue performance improved sequentially versus the third quarter in each of the international entities. Revenue passenger miles were up 1.5% during the quarter, while available seat miles were 4.2% higher. American's ( AAL ) passenger load factor fell to 82.7% from 84.9% a year ago. Operating costs per available seat mile were 3.8% higher. Looking ahead, American Airlines ( AAL ) noted bookings strengthened meaningfully in January. Systemwide revenue intakes for the first three weeks of 2026 are up double digits year over year, driven by strong performance in the premium cabins and corporate channels. Based on these bookings, the company expects solidly positive first-quarter unit revenue for the domestic entity and the system, with total revenue growing 7.0% to 10.0%. Full-year EPS of $1.70 to $2.70 (midpoint $2.20) is expected vs. $2.01 consensus. American Airlines ( AAL ) said Winter Storm Fern resulted in more than 9,000 flight cancellations to date, making it the largest weather-related operational disruption in the company's history. As a result, the company’s first-quarter 2026 guidance incorporates approximately a 1.5-point reduction to capacity, an estimated negative revenue impact of $150-$200 million, and approximately a 1.5-point increase in CASM-ex. Shares of American Airlines ( AAL ) rose 3.8% in premarket trading to $15.13 vs. the 52-week range of $8.50 to $17.47.

CVC Capital Partners Plc ’s $1.2 billion acquisition of credit investor Marathon Asset Management has resulted in a windfall for Blackstone Inc. Blackstone’s GP stakes platform, which held a minority stake in Marathon, made over 3 times its initial investment from the deal, according to people familiar with the matter. That translates into a gain of more than $400 million, the people said. In the years since Blackstone’s initial 2016 investment, Marathon has repositioned itself from a liquid hedge fund manager to a diversified credit platform with a majority of its capital invested in private market strategies. The gain for Blackstone takes into account the sale of its entire interest in Marathon for $280 million in cash, as well as prior returns of capital from Marathon over the past decade, the people said. Blackstone also stands to make further incentive fees and yield from the investment, they said. A spokesperson for Blackstone declined to comment. GP stake deals — the business of taking minority positions in investment firms — are booming as the private capital industry matures and founders start planning for generational changes. Demand for growth capital as well as money to fund GP commitments in new fundraising is also buoying the strategy. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Blue Owl Capital Inc. acquired minority holdings in large investment managers, while others like Wafra took stakes in smaller ones.

estt/iStock via Getty Images RTX ( RTX ) shares rose 3.4% in premarket trading Tuesday after the defense and aerospace company reported fourth quarter results that topped Wall Street expectations for earnings and revenue. RTX ( RTX ) posted adjusted earnings of $1.55 a share for the quarter ended Dec. 31, beating the consensus estimate of $1.47 a share. Revenue climbed 12% from a year earlier to $24.2 billion, exceeding analyst expectations of $22.7 billion. Net income rose to $1.62 billion, or $1.19 a share, from $1.48 billion, or $1.10 a share, a year earlier. RTX’s ( RTX ) shares have recovered this year after an earlier pullback tied to renewed scrutiny of the defense sector from President Donald Trump. The stock slid earlier in January after Trump warned that defense contractors could face limits on dividends, share repurchases and executive pay unless they moved faster to deliver military equipment and improve performance on existing programs. About a week later, Trump formalized that stance with an executive order aimed at large defense contractors he said were falling short on current government contracts while pursuing new awards. The order calls for tighter oversight of executive compensation and directs the Defense Department to identify underperforming suppliers and develop plans to address delays and cost issues, with the potential for future contracts to restrict buybacks, dividends and incentive pay linked to short-term financial targets. Strong execution across segments RTX ( RTX ) said growth was driven by higher volume across its Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney and Raytheon businesses, supported by strength in commercial aerospace and continued demand for defense systems. Company backlog totaled $268 billion at year end, including $161 billion tied to commercial programs and $107 billion linked to defense. Operating performance also benefited from solid margins and productivity gains, according to the company. Earnings, before interest, taxes, d...
