Palantir Technologies (NYSE: PLTR) has been one of the market's hottest stocks this year, with its price more than doubling. However, it is also one of the more divisive names in the market, largely due to its valuation. Let's take a look at both the bull and bear cases with Palantir to help determine whether the stock is a buy at current levels. The bull case Palantir has established itself as one of the top data gathering and analytics companies in the world. The U.S. government has used the company's technology for such mission critical tasks as fighting terrorism and tracking the spread of COVID-19. As a result, the company's resume is undeniable. More recently, the company has created an artificial intelligence platform (called AIP) that is expanding its use cases and making the company's services more desirable to commercial clients. AIP lets users build AI apps, actions, and agents in a workflow builder to help solve complex problems across industries. The new offering has been resonating with commercial clients, as seen in its recent results. Its commercial segment revenue jumped 33% year over year in the second quarter to $307 million, while its U.S. commercial revenue surged 55% to $159 million. The company is implementing a go-to-market strategy of using boot camps to attract new customers to its AIP offering. Through these boot camps, Palantir provides training and onboarding to demonstrate to customers how they can use AIP. This is helping greatly increase the company's customer count, with U.S. commercial customers surging 83% year over year and 13% sequentially to 295 customers. The company sees its next big growth driver as taking these new customer wins and moving them from prototype work into production. This is a classic land-and-expand strategy and it is still in its early days. The company showed solid net dollar retention of 114% last quarter. This is a metric that measures growth of existing customers after any churn over the past year. Howeve...

Newegg is, yet again, delivering the goods with an outstanding deal on two of our favorite bits of kit for a gaming PC build. This deal combines the powerhouse AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D, one of the fastest processors you can buy for gaming, with the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT for just $978.99. That's a huge $196 saving that brings down the effective price for this GPU to just $504, a whopping $95 below its MSRP. ● Check out this deal on Newegg If you need a new graphics card, there simply isn't a deal this good out there right now. As we battle through a turbulent market, thanks to the AI boom, which has pushed up prices across the board for major components like GPUs, SSDs, and RAM, we've not seen an MSRP-priced RX 9070 XT for a while, let alone one that is $95 below it. To put it into context, this is a GPU that is often priced above $700. The RX 9070 XT isn't a slouch, either: this is one of the best gaming GPUs out there, the perfect all-rounder with 4K-ready performance that rivals Nvidia's mid-tier RTX 5070 Ti for far less money. Our AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT review shows just what a beast this GPU is for gaming. This isn't a RTX 5090 rival, but it doesn't have to be, as it provides strong performance at reasonable value, as our GPU benchmarks below confirm, something that Nvidia has struggled to provide (at least, from the value side) with its current-gen Blackwell cards. Image 1 of 4 (Image credit: Tom's Hardware) (Image credit: Tom's Hardware) (Image credit: Tom's Hardware) (Image credit: Tom's Hardware) What you're getting with this RDNA 4 GPU is a serious performance boost over older AMD GPUs. It comes with 64 RDNA 4 compute units and 16GB of GDDR6 VRAM on a 254-bit memory bus, operating at a memory speed of 20 Gbps. For gaming, that means you'll have a card that will smash through high frame rates at 1080p, even at Ultra, while easily managing to hit them at 1440p. It won't be a slouch at 4K, either, but you might need to tweak your graphics settings, depending on the ...

This month, to mark World Press Freedom Day, the Guardian has been highlighting the growing threats to journalists around the world, particularly those working in conflict zones and under authoritarian regimes. Today, I’d like to share some thoughts on the specific dangers faced by female reporters. We can’t talk about press freedom without talking about misogyny. This problem is not unique to the media. Gendered attacks are commonplace for those in the public eye, be they performers, politicians or company bosses. The more high-profile the woman, the more likely she is to be targeted, online and in person. It’s a subject I have been confronted with as a reporter. Among the assignments that have affected me most deeply are the investigations I’ve published in the Guardian about the deaths of two brilliant female journalists, killed for doing their jobs. In 2017, Daphne Caruana Galizia was murdered after investigating corruption at the highest levels of government in her home country of Malta. She was killed by a car bomb near her home. The violence of the act, and the fact that it had taken place in an EU member state, sent shockwaves through Europe. To the husband and three sons she left behind, however, it did not come as a surprise. Caruana Galizia had been subjected to threats and harassment for years. Shortly before her death, she had spoken about what she and her family had endured. This included an arson attack on their home and the killing of family pets – one dog had its throat slit. The ruling party had used her face in political attack posters. On social media, she was repeatedly referred to as “the witch”. Almost nine years after her death, a powerful businessman charged with complicity to kill Caruana Galizia is still awaiting trial after pleading not guilty. More recently, I wrote about the Ukrainian reporter Viktoriia Roshchyna. Arbitrarily detained in 2023 while investigating war crimes in the occupied territories, she endured unimaginable suffering,...

With a 5-year average revenue growth rate of 32.68%, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) is included among the 11 Best Long Term US Stocks to Buy Right Now. Evercore ISI Raises Price Target on Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) Amid AI Market Shift On May 19, Evercore ISI raised its price recommendation on Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) to $579 from $358. It reiterated an Outperform rating on the shares. After completing a round of Q1 AI channel checks, the firm said one of the biggest themes it heard was that AI workloads are expected to shift from a training-focused market toward an inference-led market by the end of 2026. The firm also noted that the transition is putting greater focus on cost-per-token, return on investment, and total cost of ownership. According to Evercore, that trend is increasing hyperscaler interest in internally developed ASICs and alternative accelerators. On May 18, Citi raised its price goal on AMD to $460 from $358. It maintained a Neutral rating on the stock. Citi introduced a new CPU total addressable market model that includes general-purpose CPUs, AI head nodes, and agentic CPU applications. The firm now expects the market to grow 35% annually and reach $132 billion by 2030, driven in part by projected 185% annual growth in agentic CPUs. Citi said the higher price target reflects updates to its model. Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) is a global semiconductor company focused on high-performance computing and artificial intelligence. Its business segments include Data Center, Client and Gaming, and Embedded. While we acknowledge the potential of AMD as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

Emmanuel Macron ’s nominee to run the Bank of France was confirmed by parliament, avoiding a political setback for the president and relieving uncertainty for the European Central Bank as it weighs interest-rate increases. In a joint vote of the two finance committees of parliament, 58 out of 110 legislators opposed the appointment of Emmanuel Moulin , falling short of the three-fifths threshold required to block his nomination. Before the ballot, far-right, far-left and Socialist lawmakers had warned they’d seek to scupper the appointment, protesting against Macron’s longtime collaborator assuming a powerful role that will extend for years after the president himself leaves office in 2027. The result indicates that centrists and conservatives more aligned with Macron turned out to avoid what would have been been a stinging rebuke for the president. Even so, opposition to Moulin has put a spotlight on debates over central-bank independence and the process for naming officials who set monetary policy for the 21-nation euro area. The ECB is at a sensitive juncture, with officials deciding whether to raise rates to stave off inflationary pressures from the Iran war, even as such a move risks damaging an already fragile economy. At Wednesday’s committee hearings, Moulin said June’s rate decision hinges on data and the ECB should be particularly attentive to ensuring price expectations remain anchored. But he also flagged concern about the risks higher borrowing costs pose to the economy. “At this stage it’s too soon to say, a detailed analysis of data will be necessary to enlighten the position of the Governing Council of the ECB,” Moulin said. “But it’s essential that without prejudice to its price-stability mandate, the ECB be able to take into account the impact of its decisions on growth in an increasingly volatile environment.” French Socialists Oppose Moulin as Bank of France Head ECB May ‘Have to Do Something’ in June, Nagel Says (Video) Villeroy Exit Sparks Race...
"For me the thing that made this election so difficult from a Welsh Labour point of view was that we had so little in the first two years of that Labour government at Westminster that allowed us to demonstrate that we are still the party of devolution here in Wales.
