NYSE The " SaaSpocalypse " may not be over. But for now at least, fears of software's demise have cooled. Software stocks soared this week, driven by strong results from Snowflake and Okta , signaling that some companies are navigating their way through artificial intelligence disruption better than Wall Street expected. The iShares Expanded Tech-Software exchange-traded fund rose 8% this week and closed May up 21%, the best monthly performance for the ETF since October 2001. Back then it was a brief rebound during the dot-com bust, while the current rally comes as concerns about the impact of AI ripple across the sector. Software names have been hit particularly hard over the past year due to the boom in so-called vibe coding , with users able to now build apps and websites in minutes thanks to offerings from Anthropic, OpenAI and others. With this month's rally, the iShares software ETF is only down 3.8% for the year, still badly trailing the Nasdaq, which has gained 18% in 2026. watch now VIDEO 3:51 03:51 Snowflake is a huge winner in AI, says Jefferies' Brent Thill Closing Bell: Overtime Data platform provider Snowflake was a big driver this week, logging its best day ever on Thursday and gaining nearly 50% in the four trading days following the holiday on Monday. The company announced a $6 billion cloud and chip deal with Amazon and raised guidance as customers gravitate toward more AI tools. "We're also seeing customers deploy and scale workloads at a faster pace," CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy told analysts on the company's earnings call. Analysts at Argus Research called Snowflake a "picks and shovels" play on generative AI and lifted their price target to $300 from $250. The stock closed Friday at $255.55 and is now up 17% for the year. "We think Snowflake may actually b...

JHVEPhoto/iStock Editorial via Getty Images It has been an active time for investors in Medtronic plc ( MD T ). In between shares falling a quarter since early February, one of its divisions going public (in what has been a disappointment), and a few bolt-on deals being announced, there's plenty of news to digest. Early in February I hoped that the diagnosis was starting to become healthier, after years of share price stagnation, while modest growth has been seen, gradually pushing down valuations. All this makes that appeal rapidly improving here, certainly in comparison to a raging market, as the sector at large, including Medtronic, seems worthwhile to get involved. A Lot Of News Toward the end of May, Medtronic announced a $650 million cash deal to acquire SPR Therapeutics, a privately held medical technology business. SPR is a leader in temporary, percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation for chronic pain management. Few details have been announced on the deal (similar to deals we cover at Value in Corporate Events ), yet with pain impacting some 50 million Americans, SPR and its FDA-approved Sprint PNS System provide pain relief through temporary treatments. This deal comes about a month after Medtronic closed on the previously announced acquisition of CathWorks, a privately held medical device business that transforms the diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease, also known as CAD. This $585 million deal, excluding earn-outs, is really a bolt-on deal for a firm the size of Medtronic, as again no financial details have been announced. That deal in itself followed another $550 million deal, this time announced in March. At the time, Medtronic announced the purchase of Scientia Vascular, a company that focuses on the treatment of complex neurovascular conditions. More Fundamental Thoughts By mid-February, Medtronic announced its third-quarter results for fiscal year 2026. This included a near 9% increase in third-quarter sales to $9 billion, driven by ...

A second-tier port city in South Korea is emerging as the epicenter of a growing global fight over how to split the spoils of the artificial intelligence boom. Home to a mega-factory run by Samsung Electronics Co. , Pyeongtaek nearly shut down this month as employees threatened a strike that risked disrupting global supply chains. The chip giant ended up offering some full-time employees in its memory division bonuses as high as $400,000 — roughly four times Samsung’s average annual salary — to defuse the crisis. Yet that solution created a new set of problems. Under the tiered payout system, only employees in Samsung’s semiconductors division — about 60% of its Korean workforce — will get the largest payments. Workers who aren’t involved in chip production are set to get only $4,000 apiece, a mere 1% of the biggest winners in the labor fight. The outcome enraged a sizable chunk of Samsung employees, prompting thousands to quit its biggest union during the wage negotiations. One employee, who requested anonymity to speak openly, said the gaping compensation divide had killed motivation for workers who don’t make memory chips. Another person in Pyeongtaek, who worked at a Samsung partner firm for 20 years, described the atmosphere as tense. “That’s someone else’s world, not ours,” said the employee, when asked how it felt to see colleagues win a life-changing pile of cash. “Of course, it stings.” The fault lines emerging within the Samsung factory in Pyeongtaek reflect a wider debate spreading across the world as companies and governments grapple with the fallout of an AI boom that is reshaping markets, economies and industries. That’s creating a new class divide between “ AI aristocrats ” and the general workforce, sometimes even within the same company. South Korea is fast emerging as one of the biggest victors of the global AI race, with chip giants Samsung and SK Hynix Inc. powering past the $1 trillion valuation mark to become two of the world’s most profitable ...

This Is The Deep State On Parade Like A Naked Emperor Authored by James Howard Kunstler, In the annals of Deep State WTF-ery, is there a stranger case than CIA officer David Rush turning up with $40-million in 303 one-kilogram gold bars, plus $2-million in cash, plus a stash of 30 mostly Rolex watches? Well, yeah, the stranger story is how the guy got hired by the CIA in the first place. Rush was arrested on Monday, May 18, by an FBI SWAT team at his home in Loudoun County, VA. Agents searched the house all day long and found the stash. Rush is currently charged with theft of public money and allegedly falsifying his military and academic credentials to obtain federal employment benefits, including roughly $77,000 in improper military leave pay. He’s scheduled to make a federal court appearance in Alexandria today. Rush first applied for a job at the CIA in March 2006. He claimed to have a bachelor’s degree in math from Clemson University and a master’s from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI). He was rejected. He reapplied later that same year. Bumped again. He reapplied again in 2009, adding a new credential: that he’d been a US Navy test pilot and flight trainer. This time, he was hired. Rush’s college credentials were found to be false, but it is unclear when that was discovered. Since he included them in his two earlier 2006 failed applications, why were they not flagged in his successful 2009 application? His claim of being a US Navy pilot was also found to be false (he was an information systems tech in his Navy service). The FBI affidavit unsealed recently details the pattern of lies across all applications. Understand that CIA vetting procedures are supposed to be exceedingly rigorous. The process is stressful and invasive — many candidates drop out or are weeded out. The background check involves interviews with practically everybody who knows the applicant going back decades, his criminal history, work, financial history, education, military servic...

Palantir (PLTR) Price Forecast: Structural Bottom Signals Trend Reversal FXEmpire

July WTI crude oil (CLN26) on Friday closed down -1.54 (-1.73%), and July RBOB gasoline (RBN26) closed down -0.0665 (-2.14%). Crude oil and gasoline prices retreated on Friday, with crude oil falling to a 5-week low. Crude prices are under pressure after the US and Iran tentatively agreed to extend a ceasefire by 60 days, fueling optimism that the Strait of Hormuz may reopen soon. The markets are awaiting President Trump's approval of a preliminary deal between the US and Iran to extend a ceasefire by 60 days and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump said Friday he's making a "final determination" on a preliminary deal to extend a ceasefire with Iran. Don’t Miss a Day: However, even if a truce extension is agreed, several hurdles remain before crude flows can resume. Among them, mines in the Hormuz waterway must be removed, shut-in oil fields may take months to restart, and damage to energy infrastructure from drone and missile strikes needs to be repaired. Earlier this month, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said in a monthly report that global observed oil inventories declined at about 4 million bpd in March and April, and that the market will remain "severely undersupplied" until October, even if the conflict ends next month. Energy prices remain underpinned by the US-Iran war, which is keeping the Strait of Hormuz essentially closed. The ongoing conflict is exacerbating global oil and fuel shortages, as about a fifth of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas transits through the strait. Goldman Sachs estimates that crude output in the Persian Gulf has been curtailed by about 14.5 million bpd, and that the current disruption has drawn down nearly 500 million bbl from global crude stockpiles, which could hit a billion bbl by June. Persian Gulf oil producers have been forced to cut production by roughly 6% due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz as local storage facilities reach capacity. Earlier this month, the IEA said that more than 80 energy f...

July Nymex natural gas (NGN26) on Friday closed up +0.005 (+0.15%). Nat-gas prices climbed to a 2.5-month nearest-futures high on Friday and settled slightly higher on the outlook for above-normal US temperatures next month, potentially boosting nat-gas demand from electricity providers to power increased air-conditioning usage. Forecaster Vaisala said Friday that above-average temperatures are expected to span across much of the northern two-thirds of the US for June 8-12. Don’t Miss a Day: The outlook for the Strait of Hormuz to remain closed for the foreseeable future is supportive for nat-gas as the closure will curb Middle Eastern nat-gas supplies, potentially boosting US nat-gas exports to make up for the shortfall. US (lower-48) dry gas production on Friday was 110.6 bcf/day (+2.0% y/y), according to BNEF. Lower-48 state gas demand on Friday was 67.7 bcf/day (-1.9% y/y), according to BNEF. Estimated LNG net flows to US LNG export terminals on Friday were 18.5 bcf/day (+2.1% w/w), according to BNEF. Projections for higher US nat-gas production are negative for prices. On May 12, the EIA raised its forecast for 2026 US dry nat-gas production to 110.61 bcf/day from an April estimate of 109.60 bcf/day. US nat-gas production is currently near a record high, with active US nat-gas rigs posting a 2.5-year high in late February. On April 17, nat-gas prices tumbled to a 1.5-year nearest-futures low amid robust US gas storage. EIA nat-gas inventories as of May 8 were +6.5% above their 5-year seasonal average, signaling abundant US nat-gas supplies. Nat-gas prices have some medium-term support on the outlook for tighter global LNG supplies. On March 19, Qatar reported "extensive damage" at the world's largest natural gas export plant at Ras Laffan Industrial City. Qatar said the attacks by Iran damaged 17% of Ras Laffan's LNG export capacity, a damage that will take three to five years to repair. The Ras Laffan plant accounts for about 20% of global liquefied natural ga...

AST SpaceMobile (NASDAQ:ASTS) is working to build a space-based cellular broadband network accessible directly by standard smartphones. The stock closed Friday at $113.41, down 14.79%. The drop came after reports of a Blue Origin New Glenn test rocket explosion and a Deutsche Bank (NYSE:DB) downgrade. Investors are watching for potential launch delays and execution risk around its BlueBird constellation rollout. Trading volume reached 47.8 million shares, coming in about 159% above its three-month average of 18.4 million shares. AST SpaceMobile IPO'd in 2019 and has grown 1,061% since going public. The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC) added 0.23% to finish Friday at 7,581, while the Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX:^IXIC) rose 0.20% to close at 26,973. Within communication equipment names, industry peers Iridium Communications (NASDAQ:IRDM) closed at $51.78 (up 1.01%) and Gilat Satellite Networks (NASDAQ:GILT) ended at $17.17 (down 3.70%) as investors reassessed satellite-connectivity risk.
