Welcome to Record Town

 

The market climbed Monday as semiconductor leadership overpowered another round of Middle East risk, pushing the Dow through 53,000. Amazon climbed past the $3T mark, and stocks were just points away from market wide records.  Communication services led the advance behind Meta, while Microsoft helped carry technology. It really was the on again off again war that helped shape the day. Crude’s 5.4% slide pressured energy stocks, but worsening threats to Middle East tankers kept the relief rally from becoming an all-clear.  After hours, Palantir and Snap delivered the growth investors demanded. Their Stocktwits rooms finished 61% and 78% bullish, respectively, while Replimune carried the day’s loudest stream and GameStop’s debt exchange fueled the sharpest divide. The U.S. and Japan also confirmed they were buying the Yen starting late last week, sending the troubled currency about 5% in a couple of sessions.  Today's Briefing: Powered by Stocktwits Community API. After the Bell: Palantir crushed expectations, while Snap’s advertising and subscription rebound sent both stocks higher.  Previews: AMD, Lucid, and SpaceX face three very different make-or-break earnings tests Tuesday.  What's Trending Now on Stocktwits  Does Palantir’s 149% commercial growth justify the valuation?

AFTER THE BELL Palantir Breaks The Meter  Palantir, the data and AI software company serving businesses and governments, reported accelerating growth Monday as commercial adoption widened and government demand remained strong. Shares jumped after hours as the company beat expectations and raised its outlook.  The RIP: $PLTR surged +10.4% after hours. Adjusted EPS reached $0.41 versus $0.33 expected, while revenue climbed +93% to $1.94B versus roughly $1.81B expected. U.S. commercial revenue grew +149% to $764M.  Palantir raised full-year revenue guidance to $8.15B–$8.16B and now expects U.S. commercial revenue above $3.42B, up at least 134%. Adjusted free cash flow guidance increased to $4.5B–$4.7B, giving bulls the growth and cash generation needed to keep defending the premium valuation.  The Community Read: The $PLTR room is 61% bullish after the raise, follow the upside -> Snap Finds Its Pulse  Snap, the messaging and camera company behind Snapchat, reported stronger advertising, subscription, and cash-flow growth Monday. Shares ripped after hours as the improving core business gave investors something more tangible than another expensive augmented-reality promise.  The RIP: $SNAP surged +18.8% after hours. Revenue rose +19% to $1.60B, adjusted EBITDA reached $250M, and free cash flow climbed to $121M. Daily active users increased +5% to 493M, while monthly active users reached 971M.  Advertising revenue grew 9% to $1.28B, but other revenue jumped 85% to $316M as subscriptions expanded. That is a huge game changer for a standard ad only media company. Snap guided third-quarter revenue to $1.70B–$1.74B and adjusted EBITDA to $300M–$350M, though North American daily users remained down 7%.  The Community Read: 78% of the $SNAP room is buying the rebound, track the reaction ->

PREVIEWS Tuesday’s Three-Way Test

AMD, the chipmaker challenging Nvidia in AI accelerators, Lucid, the cash-burning EV maker, and newly public SpaceX all report after Tuesday’s close. Together, they will test three crowded trades: AI spending, premium-EV demand, and whether the largest IPO ever can grow into its valuation before new shares hit the market.

The RIP: $SPCX rose +5.7%, $LCID added +4.3%, and $AMD gained +1.8% Monday. Wall Street expects AMD at $1.61 EPS on $11.3B in revenue, SpaceX at a $0.29 loss on $6.8B, and Lucid at a $2.34 loss on roughly $410.8M.

AMD carries the broadest market read-through. Data center revenue rose +57% to $5.8B last quarter, making MI350 demand, EPYC market share, and the company’s 56% gross-margin forecast Tuesday’s pressure points.

Lucid already disclosed 4,774 vehicles produced and 3,953 delivered. New CEO Silvio Napoli must now reset the suspended 25,000–27,000 vehicle production forecast and explain how quickly Gravity inventory, negative margins, and cash consumption can improve.

SpaceX is the volatility event. Its first public report must separate profitable Starlink growth from launch and AI spending, just two days before the first post-IPO share unlock begins Thursday. The stock has fallen 30% from its IPO price, looking more like Meta’s initial selloff IPO than Tesla's.
