A look at the latest investor updates on trending stocks, including Palantir's AI-driven growth, AMD's upcoming earnings, Boeing's strike challenges, Opendoor's memestock surge, and BP's significant oil discovery.
**Palantir (PLTR)** Palantir's stock has been on a monster run, up over 100% this year, fueled by AI optimism and strong government demand. The new agreement with the US Army, worth up to $10bn over the next decade, is a bundling of existing contracts into a single agreement, streamlining procurement but not guaranteeing future spending or revenue growth.
**AMD (AMD)** AMD is expected to post Q2 revenue of $7.43bn, up 27% year-on-year, driven by strong data center demand. However, adjusted net income is projected to fall. Tighter US export restrictions on its chips to China will also impact earnings. Despite this, UBS raised its price target for AMD to $210 from $160, citing confidence in the company’s ability to secure regulatory approvals to resume sales of its MI308 chips to China.
**Boeing (BA)** The strike by union members adds further strain to Boeing’s defense and space unit. The company's proposal included a 20% general wage increase over four years, a $5,000 ratification bonus, and enhanced vacation and sick leave, but the union rejected the offer, calling it insufficient.
**Opendoor (OPEN)** Opendoor has seen a sharp rebound in investor attention, with the stock up 271% over the past 30 days, fueled by a wave of retail enthusiasm and a high-profile endorsement from EMJ Capital founder Eric Jackson. Jackson set an ambitious $82 price target for the shares, helping propel Opendoor into the memestock spotlight. Goldman Sachs currently maintains a sell rating on Opendoor, with a price target of just $0.90.
**BP (BP.L)** BP announced its largest oil discovery in 25 years, located offshore Brazil. The company encountered a 500m hydrocarbon column in a “pre-salt carbonate reservoir” spanning over 300 sq km. This announcement comes as BP prepares to update investors on Tuesday about its $5bn cost-cutting program, under intensifying scrutiny from activist investor Elliott Management.
