Palantir (PLTR) just delivered an “otherworldly” Q2 2026 earnings report, sending shares soaring nearly 30%. Total revenue rocketed 93% year-over-year to $1.94 billion, completely crushing Wall Street estimates. The core growth engine remains the U.S. commercial sector, where revenue exploded by 149%, proving that enterprise adoption of the Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) is moving fast from pilot tests to heavy production spending.

Management also raised full-year 2026 revenue guidance to an impressive $8.15 billion–$8.158 billion, backed by elite profitability metrics like a 62% adjusted operating margin and $1.22 billion in free cash flow. CEO Alex Karp’s focus on data sovereignty and operational AI decision-making continues to separate Palantir from traditional software providers facing competitive AI doubts.

The main debate for investors isn’t the strength of the business, but the sky-high valuation. Trading at a premium forward multiple, the stock leaves little room for execution slips. However, with net dollar retention hitting an elite 157%, bulls argue that Palantir’s unique ontology mapping makes it a foundational, must-have layer for enterprise AI transformation.

$SPDR Gold Shares(GLD.US) Gold rose more than 2% on Wednesday to a one-month high as hopes of a U.S.-Iran peace deal tempered some inflation concerns, while investors awaited key U.S. jobs data for clues on the Federal Reserve’s policy path. President Donald Trump said his administration had “very good discussions” with Iran during all-day negotiations on Tuesday, fuelling expectations of an imminent end to the five-month conflict. “There are increasing signs of a Gulf ceasefire deal, which means Treasury yields are moving lower on easing inflation worries, which helps make non-yielding assets like gold more attractive,” said Jamie Dutta, a market analyst. The U.S. dollar remained under pressure, making greenback-priced metals more attractive to holders of other currencies, while yields on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note fell to a one-week low. Gold tends to lose its appeal in a high interest-rate environment despite its status as an inflation hedge, as it yields no interest. Traders are now pricing in a 59% probability of a September rate hike, down from 67% a day earlier. Moreover, I don't think Gold will gain too much with a rate hike still very likely by the end of the year. Still, having precious metals in your portfolio could help to hedge against AI bubble risks. @Captain's Treasure

QQQ yet to break all time high... how long will this AI reversal last? Will local banks set another record high this week? Up and down, up and down...

I think Apple has a good chance to surprise this earnings season. Expectations aren’t as high as before, so even a decent beat with positive comments on AI, Services, or iPhone demand could push the stock higher. If management gives investors more confidence, sentiment can improve quickly.

On the other hand, I’m slightly cautious on Meta. The business is still very strong, but the stock has already had an incredible run and expectations are extremely high. When a stock is priced close to perfection, even good earnings may not be enough if guidance or capital expenditure disappoints. I wouldn’t be surprised to see some profit-taking after the report.

My take: Apple has more room to surprise, while Meta has more room to disappoint. @Captain's Watch

Amazon.com, Inc. $Amazon(AMZN.US) continues to showcase robust operational execution across its dual profit engines: e-commerce and cloud computing. In its recent financial reporting, Amazon demonstrated significant operating leverage, highlighted by a record 13.1% operating margin driven by the rapid re-acceleration of Amazon Web Services (AWS). While its core marketplace remains dominant—buoyed by record-setting events like Prime Day—the real catalyst for the company’s current expansion is its high-margin advertising services and cloud sectors.

Despite these strong fundamentals, the stock has underperformed relative to pure-play artificial intelligence chipmakers and power suppliers, trading at roughly $232 per share, which represents an attractive entry point at a forward price-to-earnings multiple of 27x.The primary near-term headwind pressuring the stock price is management’s aggressive infrastructure investment cycle. Amazon has planned roughly $200 billion in capital expenditures for 2026, heavily focused on building out data centers and scaling its AI infrastructure. This massive spending surge has temporarily compressed trailing free cash flow.

However, the market appears to be underestimating the structural margin benefits of Amazon’s proprietary hardware. The company’s custom AI silicon portfolio—including its Graviton and Trainium chips—has already surpassed an annual revenue run rate of $20 billion, allowing AWS to fulfill heavy enterprise workloads at a significantly lower cost than wholesale GPU alternatives.For long-term investors, the disconnect between Amazon’s record operational health and its flat year-to-date stock performance presents a compelling “bargain hiding in plain sight”. Wall Street remains overwhelmingly bullish, maintaining a consensus “Moderate Buy” to “Strong Buy” rating with an average twelve-month price target of approximately $313, representing a projected upside of over 34%.

$TE Connectivity(TEL.US)

From a risk management and capital perspective, the post-earnings pullback has created a stark valuation disconnect. TEL currently features a remarkably compressed price-to-earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio of 0.18, signaling that the market is severely underpricing its trailing 107.5% net income growth. Concurrently, aggressive ongoing share buybacks are actively supporting shareholder yield. Rather than chasing overextended AI software names, accumulating this deeply undervalued hardware anchor during a consolidation phase is a highly disciplined way to play the secular hardware and energy grid modernization cycle.

The last hit I have marked is $1014. Thereafter dropped like

Nobody business. Nice rebound last. But better safe then sorry cos as said before US stocks even AI are all unpredictable due to US always living day by day in the midst of chaotic affairs.

SO invest wisely 🥳🍷✈️
