PM Images/DigitalVision via Getty Images Xunlei Limited ( XNET ), a provider of digital entertainment, cloud acceleration, and distributed cloud services in China, has essentially moved sideways for the last four months or so after a horrible January put XNET in a deeper hole than it already was due to losses towards the end of 2025. However, there are several reasons why an end to the sideways action could be near, something the release of the Q1 FY2026 report on May 28 seems to support. XNET May Be Priming Itself for a Breakout In my March 2026 article about XNET, I mentioned how XNET had done rather poorly, with the stock losing a big chunk of its value in the preceding months, especially in January. On the other hand, XNET also offered good value, especially after the big decrease in the stock price and after taking into account the results of the FY2025 report shortly beforehand. Accordingly, I decided to rate XNET a buy in the article. Not that much has happened in the months that followed as far as the stock is concerned. Instead, the stock went essentially sideways in the last four months or so. There were attempts to break the status quo during this time, but that has yet to succeed. However, there is reason to think this may come to an end in the near future because the stock seems to be priming itself for a breakout, looking at the charts. Source: Thinkorswim app The chart above shows how XNET lost close to half its market cap from October 2025 to February 2026. The stock hit a 52-week high of $11.03 per ADS in October, only to close at $5.29 on February 5 after a major decline in the stock and as low as $5.25 on an intraday basis. The following months were better because XNET has not gone any lower than $5.29 on a closing basis, although the stock did manage to go lower on an intraday basis on a couple of occasions. This includes March 3, or shortly after the war in the Middle East erupted, when the stock hit an intraday and 2026 low of $5.16 before clos...

imaginima/iStock via Getty Images Investment Thesis Following the recent sell-off in the software sector since my last coverage , Palantir ( PLTR ) has underperformed the market but remains one of those few stocks that stand out as having both tremendous growth potential and excellent profitability. In addition, US commercial sales were up 133%, net dollar retention was 150% and remaining performance obligation nearly doubled, demonstrating robust demand. Given $8 billion in cash reserves and adoption of its AI Platform (AIP), the company sees itself as a software layer for enterprise AI solutions. Data by YCharts Rule of 40 Score of 145% Boosts FY26 Adjusted FCF Guidance Palantir holds a Rule of 40 score of 145% in Q1 FY26 as this combines topline growth and bottom-line performance (adjusted operating margin). Q1 topline increased 85% YoY with adjusted operating margin hitting 60% which surpasses sector levels. With that, net dollar retention is at 150%, which indicates expansion within existing client accounts. Palantir derived $925 million in adjusted FCF for Q1 with cash from operations at $899 million. As a result, Palantir ended up holding $8 billion in cash and treasury. Importantly, total remaining deal value grew 98% YoY to $11.8 billion and remaining performance obligations (RPO) increased 134% to $4.5 billion. That means topline growth may continue to stabilize in the short-to-mid-term. Moreover, US commercial topline grew 133% YoY and now this segment accounts for $595 million, while US government topline grew 84% (to $687 million ). In my view, this topline growth mix indicates that Palantir is progressing in the US commercial market ahead of the legacy US government segment. Q1 Earnings With that, the total US topline hit $1.282 billion and this represents 79% of the total topline. Whereas, the client count grew 31% YoY to 1,007 and TTM topline from the top 20 clients increased 55% to $108 million per client. Based on this progress, Palantir raised FY2...
