Meanwhile, rival Anthropic is preparing for a public listing, with its own run rate reaching $65 billion by July. Investors are watching Oracle and Microsoft as proxies for these private giants, as both companies have significant financial ties to the AI leaders.

Credo Tech Plunges After Strong Q1 as Retail Bets on Turnaround

Credo Technology Group beat on fiscal Q1 with $1.20 adjusted EPS on $479 million revenue, up 115% year over year, posting record net income and solid margins (68% gross, 48.2% operating).

Palantir's Breakout Growth Meets Sky-High Valuation

Palantir reported a blowout Q2 FY26 with EPS of $0.41 (beat estimates by 46%), as US commercial revenue jumped 149% year over year, contributing to 93% top-line growth and a Rule of 40 score of 155%. Management lifted FY26 revenue guidance to about $8.15–$8.16 billion with free cash flow of $1.22 billion, while the stock trades at a rich forward multiple (around 108x). 24/7 Wall St. sets a $212.42 price target, implying roughly 21% upside, driven by a large US commercial pipeline and a remaining deal value of $13.1 billion. Risks include an aggressive valuation, SBC costs, and a US-centric revenue mix (over 81%), though bulls argue AI and defense programs (Maven) could sustain growth; the key question is whether the stock can keep up with the pace of execution.

Argus Upgrades SpaceX to Buy on Massive Revenue Growth Outlook

Argus Research upgraded SpaceX (SPCX) to Buy with a $160 target, arguing that rapid revenue growth could justify a high valuation despite large AI infrastructure and other capital spending. SpaceX posted Q2 revenue of $7.8B (up 92% year over year) but a larger loss, while Argus expects the company’s revenue run rate to reach about $100B by end-2026 and around $110B in 2027. The bullish view hinges on translating AI investments into sustained revenue, with key risks including steep spending, potential insider-share liquidity expanding the tradable float, and whether the 2027 revenue targets can support roughly a 20x forward revenue multiple. Watch AI infra utilization, capital spending, operating losses, and progress toward the revenue milestones; the lock-up schedule could act as a near-term catalyst.
