Palantir's War Trade Is Back - But Beware The 'Death Cross' Finviz

财联社3月2日讯（编辑 夏军雄） 电商与云计算巨头亚马逊股价在2月份暴跌12%，创下自2022年12月以来最糟糕的单月表现。随着华尔街对该公司激进的支出计划态度日益审慎，市场情绪明显转冷。 庞大的资本支出不仅在蚕食亚马逊的自由现金流，而且市场专业人士也对这些投入何时能带来显著回报愈发缺乏耐心。 亚马逊上月也是所谓“美股七巨头”（Magnificent Seven）中表现最差的一只，也是标普500指数中表现最差的40家公司之一。而在2025年至今，亚马逊仅上涨5.2%，同样是七巨头中涨幅最低。 Vaughan Nelson Investment Management副首席投资官兼基金经理Adam Rich表示：“亚马逊开始看起来像一个警示案例，因为它的投资规模极高，但在大型科技公司中回报却最低。当前的增长不足以证明更高资本开支的合理性。” 亚马逊近期股价走弱很大程度上源于其2月初公布的财报。改公司计划今年在数据中心、芯片及其他设备上投入2000亿美元以扩充算力，远超市场预期，并拖累了营业利润指引。这一消息完全掩盖了亚马逊云服务（AWS）三年多来最快季度增速的亮点。 数据显示，受此类支出影响，亚马逊2026年自由现金流预计为负5.242亿美元，将是自2022年以来首次出现负现金流。相比之下，该公司2025年自由现金流为77亿美元。 上周五，亚马逊再次打开“资金闸门”，宣布将向人工智能（AI）公司OpenAI投资500亿美元。 亚马逊并非唯一因资本开支遭质疑的科技巨头。谷歌、微软和Meta在披露资本开支大幅上升后股价同样大跌。 投资者如今将AI支出视为大型科技公司的风险因素，显示市场情绪已发生转变。 不久前，持续加码新兴技术仍被视为利好信号。而如今，随着资本开支上升开始反映在财报中，态度趋于谨慎。 亚马逊去年第四季度投入资本回报率（ROIC）为12.4%，低于两个季度前的14.8%，后者是自2011年以来最高水平。 仍有分析师看好 尽管亚马逊近期股价表现不佳，但许多分析师仍认为这种投入会带动未来增长。 William Blair分析师Dylan Carden指出，亚马逊与OpenAI的交易解释了2000亿美元支出的合理性，AWS正在迅速扩张，以支持这一重要新客户。 除了AWS，投资者还有其他理由看好亚马逊。 与OpenAI的协议包括使用亚马逊自研的Trainium芯片，为...

Dilok Klaisataporn/iStock via Getty Images Crude oil ( CL1:COM ) ( CO1:COM ) soared above $70 on the prompt month of WTI following U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran in Operation Midnight Hammer. Brent rallied through $75 , and both key oil contracts posted 8% gains to begin March. That puts energy equities front and center. The Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF ( XLE ) was already far and away the best of the 11 S&P 500 groups YTD, and Monday’s gain added to its absolute and relative strength. The largest XLE holding is Exxon Mobil Corporation ( XOM ). I had a Buy rating on the stock immediately after the previous geopolitical upheaval . Oil and Exxon jumped after Nicolás Maduro was captured in early January. XOM then reported very strong Q4 results at the end of that month. Now, following a 22% surge, shares are at all-time highs after a late-February consolidation. Today, I reiterate a Buy rating. I’m raising my price target and will outline a new, higher technical objective. WTI Crude Oil Jumped to $73 Following Weekend Strikes on Iran Trading Economics Back in January, Exxon reported a solid set of quarterly results. Q4 non-GAAP EPS of $1.71 topped the Wall Street consensus forecast of $1.69, while revenue of $82.3 billion, down 1.3% from the same period last year, was a material $640 million beat. Annual production slipped, but full-year oil output notched a 40-year high , while upstream production of 4.7 million barrels of oil equivalent was impressive. The management team announced expanded cash capex of $27-$29 billion for the current year. Shares inched higher in the session that followed—the upside move was nothing like what was seen after the Venezuela regime change four weeks before. Looking ahead, the options market prices in a somewhat high 4.3% earnings-related stock price swing based on the at-the-money straddle expiring soonest after the May 1 reporting date. Shares of the $635 billion market cap Energy sector stock are at all-time highs as of the premar...

Apple's biggest iPhone announcements usually happen in September, but for the second year in a row the company is also bringing out a new iPhone in March. The new iPhone 17e is a new version of Apple's basic no-frills iPhone, replacing last year's iPhone 16e . The phone will be available to pre-order on March 4, and will be available on March 11 starting at $599. The new iPhone includes an Apple A19 chip similar to the one in the more-expensive iPhone 17—both phones get six CPU cores, but the 17e only gets four GPU cores instead of five. The phone's cellular modem is also upgraded, from the original Apple C1 to an Apple C1X capable of faster speeds. Like the A18 in the iPhone 16e, the iPhone 17e also supports Apple Intelligence, implying that it has the same 8GB of RAM as the iPhone 17. Apple says the new Ceramic Shield 2 front glass (also used in the iPhone 17) will be more durable, and that the "Apple-designed coating" on the display is three times more scratch-resistant than the coating on the iPhone 16e and better at reducing reflections and glare. But there are two more-noticeable upgrades that help close the gap between the iPhone 17e and the regular iPhone 17: the first is support for MagSafe charging, a notable omission from the iPhone 16e. The second is an upgrade from 128GB to 256GB of storage in the base model, which makes the $599 version of the phone a more attractive deal. A 512GB version of the phone is available for $799.

Middle Eastern investors continued their global acquisition spree on Monday, unveiling a pair of big-ticket transactions and brushing off concerns that the Iran conflict could dent regional dealmaking activity at least in the short term. The biggest deal came from Qatar, whose wealth fund is part of a consortium that said is buying AES Corp. for $10.7 billion in one of the largest US utility transactions in recent years. BlackRock Inc. ’s Global Infrastructure Partners brought the Qatar Investment Authority into the investor group more than a year ago, according to a person familiar with the matter. The fund’s interest in the deal wasn’t dented even as Iran shot missiles at Doha over the weekend, the person said, declining to be identified discussing confidential information. A representative for the QIA declined to comment. The deal was ultimately announced minutes after Doha said it would shutter production of liquefied natural gas from the world’s biggest export plant following an Iranian drone attack. The country’s vast energy resources have transformed it into one of the world’s wealthiest, handing the QIA firepower to pull off large deals. The AES transaction followed Bahrain Aluminium BSC’s decision to buy the European Union’s top aluminum smelter. The deal for Aluminium Dunkerque Industries France SAS, said to be valued at more than €1 billion ($1.2 billion), ranks as the biggest-ever overseas takeover by a corporate buyer from Bahrain. Signs of dealmaking activity have emerged from other Gulf countries that have been by impacted by projectiles from Iran — including Saudi Arabia, which on Monday halted operations at its largest oil refinery on the Persian Gulf coast after a drone strike in the area. The kingdom’s Tahweel Holding agreed over the weekend to acquire the downstream plastics operations of local industrial group Tasnee. And last week, as heated negotiations were taking place in Geneva over the future of Iran’s nuclear program, Dubai Aerospace Ente...

In this article VSNT Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Versant signage on the floor at the New York Stock Exchange on July 21, 2025. Michael Nagle | Bloomberg | Getty Images Versant Media Group will release its first earnings report as a public company on Tuesday, giving Wall Street its first glimpse inside a company made up primarily of pay-TV networks. The Comcast spinoff — comprised of CNBC, MS Now, USA Network, Golf Channel, Syfy, E! and Oxygen, as well as digital properties including Fandango, Rotten Tomatoes, GolfNow and Sports Engine — debuted on the Nasdaq in January after one of the media industry's most significant transactions in recent years. The company's first-ever quarterly results will provide more detail into a portfolio of assets that were long embedded in Comcast's NBCUniversal TV results. They will also test Wall Street's appetite for cable TV at a time when the market has faced deep pressures. Ahead of going public, Versant released financials that showed declining revenue in recent years. Versant's assets generated $7.1 billion in revenue in 2024, down from $7.4 billion in 2023 and $7.8 billion in 2022, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing. Versant's stock has dropped about 25% since its January debut. The company's market capitalization stands at roughly $4.8 billion. Pay-TV pressure It's a rarity these days to see pure-play media stocks going public — especially those made up solely of TV networks. Last year Newsmax , the conservative cable news network, began trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Its shares initially soared before falling precipitously since its debut. Versant makes more than 80% of its overall revenue from pay-TV distribution. While that business is still profitable, the longtime cash cow for the media industry has been declining as customers flee the bundle for streaming alternatives. "At Versant, 62% of our audience comes from live programming across sports and news," CEO Mark Lazarus s...

Why do companies with strong consumer appeal tend to outperform?

Generative AI is set to transform the way credit traders do their jobs, as the technology is well suited to handling the unstructured data produced by the asset class, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s global head of credit trading. Credit markets are the last frontier when it comes to market automation, Sanjay Jhamna said in an interview with Bloomberg TV at JPMorgan’s global leveraged-finance conference in Miami, adding that traditional AI models have not necessarily been a good fit for the asset class. As firms begin to use generative AI more, the whole industry will be affected. “It will reset who can compete and how they can compete,” Jhamna said, adding that winners and losers will be determined by how much companies embrace the opportunities from new technology. Investors are currently scrambling to get to grips with the various ways AI is affecting the credit market. On one hand, there is growing anxiety that generative AI will cannibalize the business models of software issuers, a cornerstone of the leveraged finance and private credit universes. On the other hand, hyperscalers are flooding the investment-grade and infrastructure debt markets with record issuance to fund the build-out of data centers. Current dislocations in the credit market are creating opportunities to deploy capital at interesting levels, Jhamna said. Credit is “the asset class of the moment” and noise around software is a normal part of a typical credit cycle, he said. As for the threat that AI poses to existing borrowers, the JPMorgan banker said that it is normal for some consolidation to follow massive increases in productivity. There will also be big winners — companies that harness the power of the new technology to gain share — he said.

Christopher Trybus is on trial for manslaughter after his wife Tarryn Baird took her own life.

The US Supreme Court declined to consider restoring the gun rights of people convicted of nonviolent felonies, turning away an appeal from a Utah woman convicted 18 years ago of trying to pass a bad check at a grocery store. The rebuff came at the urging of the Trump administration. US Solicitor General D. John Sauer told the justices the issue will be adequately addressed through a new program under which the Justice Department can restore the gun rights of convicted felons on a case-by-case basis. Melynda Vincent’s appeal sought to narrow the federal law that bars gun possession by anyone convicted of a felony. Vincent said the law can’t constitutionally be applied to people whose criminal pasts don’t involve violence. “Our historical tradition of firearms regulation does not permit the federal government to permanently disarm someone based solely on the fact of a prior nonviolent criminal conviction,” Vincent argued. She says she wants a firearm for protection and to go hunting with her children. In ruling against Vincent, the Denver-based 10th US Circuit Court of Appeals pointed to a passage in the 2008 Supreme Court decision that said the Constitution’s Second Amendment protects individual gun rights. The majority added that “nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons.” Other federal appeals courts have taken a different position, saying the Second Amendment protects at least nondangerous convicted felons. Sauer, the Trump administration’s top Supreme Court lawyer, said Vincent would have a “strong case for relief” if she applied to have her gun rights restored through the new Justice Department program. But he said the availability of that process “dooms the Second Amendment challenge.” The Justice Department program “provides a more workable process for restoring firearms rights than would a court-administered regime of as-applied challenges,” Sauer said. Vincent countered that the...
