  • Palantir isn't the 'cutting-edge' AI play it aims to be: Analyst

    Palantir (PLTR) shares are sliding in after-hours trading even after the tech company raised its full-year guidance. RBC Capital Markets Software Equity Analyst Rishi Jaluria joins Yahoo Finance to break down Palantir's first quarter earnings and the market's reaction amid an artificial intelligence race. Palantir topped its first quarter sales expectations yet saw a decrease in US commercial growth from 70% to 40%. Jaluria attributes the slow US commercial growth to Palantir's status as an "over-hyped generative AI beneficiary company," pointing to mixed messaging around its artificial intelligence capabilities and skepticism over its boot camp strategy. "Everyone wants to play the AI game...I just don't think Palantir is that cutting-edge generative AI company that they claim it to be," Jaluria warns, pointing to more established tech companies like Microsoft (MSFT) as a stronger option.

  • Rate cuts pose downside risk to future company margins: Strategist

    As the first quarter earnings season draws to a close, Innovator Capital Management Head of Research & Investment Strategy Tim Urbanowicz, joins Market Domination to discuss the ongoing earnings season and the market outlook. Urbanowicz highlights that the first quarter saw "very strong margin growth" across various sectors, with technology and communication services leading the way. He explains that high inflation often contributes to margin growth, which was the case during this earnings season. However, he acknowledges that if the "inflation narrative [were] to get under control," it could have a negative impact on margins moving forward. On the topic of artificial intelligence, Urbanowicz firmly believes that "this is not a trend that you want to fight." With companies actively seeking to build and integrate AI infrastructure, he emphasizes the technology's "critical" importance for boosting productivity. When asked about potential rate cuts and how investors should position themselves in a "higher-for-longer" interest rate environment, Urbanowicz suggests, "You have to find ways to decouple risk management needs from the reliance on interest rates coming down." "Our base case view is you're going to see a world where economic growth remains firm and inflation remains firm," Urbanowicz says.

  • Why Robinhood's SEC threat shouldn't worry investors: Analyst

    Robinhood (HOOD) has received a warning from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that the trading platform could face an enforcement action regarding its crypto business on the platform. Mizuho Americas Senior Financial Technology Analyst Dan Dolev joins Market Domination to discuss why he's not concerned about this development.

Furthermore, he emphasizes that Robinhood's crypto exposure is "very minimal." Dolev commends Robinhood for being "the good guy" among crypto exchange platforms, steering clear of "riskier tokens." He suggests that Robinhood not fighting the SEC probe will benefit the trading platform in the long run. "The fundamentals of Robinhood are so good that this is going to remain as a little bug bite, not more than that," Dolev told Yahoo Finance.

  • Could a soft labor market lead to Fed rate cuts?

    The Federal Reserve has consistently reiterated its stance that it needs to see substantial improvement in inflation before considering rate cuts. However, Macro Institute Chief Investment Strategist Brian Nick joins Market Domination to discuss why he believes the Fed could be compelled to cut rates due to a weakening labor market. Nick acknowledges that "it's too soon" to determine whether the markets will experience a soft landing scenario or potentially face "something worse." However, he points out the reality that interest rates remain at elevated levels, banks are tightening their lending standards, and consumer delinquency is up. Coupled with a weak labor market, these are signs that point toward "a weaker consumer," Nick says. Nick predicts that a rate cut could materialize near the end of July, stating his expectation that the unemployment rate "will move up uncomfortably high for the Fed," forcing them to act by cutting rates.

  • IRS is looking to double audit rate on wealthy Americans

    The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) seeks to ramp up its audit rate among some of the wealthiest Americans, after receiving increased funding from the Biden administration. The IRS will specifically crack down on individuals earning more than $10 million and will also take a closer look at businesses. Veda Partners Managing Partner and Director of Economic Policy Henrietta Treyz explains how the new policy is favored among most Americans, as 69% of those in swing states support taxing the rich, according to Bloomberg News. Treyz also notes that the increased audits will generate new revenue that will offset the cost of extending the existing tax cuts that expire next year. As the 2024 election approaches, Treyz breaks down what to expect from the different tax agendas proposed by current President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump.

  • Are robots the future of food delivery? Serve Robotics thinks so

    Your next late-night pizza delivery may be handed to you by a different kind of delivery driver: a four-wheeled autonomous robot. Food delivery bots have already taken to the streets of Los Angeles, treading sidewalks for several years already as Serve Robotics (SERV) has partnered with online food giant Uber Eats (UBER) for local deliveries. Serve Robotics CEO Ali Kashani joins Yahoo Finance in-studio to show off Serve's delivery robots and discuss how the company's autonomous bots are changing the future of food delivery services. "The first thing to keep in mind is that by default these robots are allowed to operate anywhere, but 20-plus states have put reservations in favor to encourage to launch the robots there. And fundamentally, one robot has 3,000 times less kinetic energy than a vehicle. So regulators understand that this makes roads safer," Kashani explains. "Now, we know for a fact this is safer than a car doing the same thing, but it has the advantage of reducing congestion and C02s, and also bringing the costs down for the local businesses that right now are struggling with the costs of delivery."

TD Cowen Managing Director of TMT — Media & Entertainment Doug Creutz sits down with Yahoo Finance's Market Domination to look over Disney's next objectives after rebuffing activist investor Nelson Peltz in his latest proxy campaign. "They've been trying to replace [CEO] Bob Iger for ten years and haven't, successfully anyway. Replacing him is very hard. and not just because... he's been, I think, a balanced and very good executive, but one thing he hadn't [done] is developed a really good bench of people who could potentially replace him... people like Tom Staggs, Jay Rasulo got essentially pushed out of the company because they were told they weren't good enough," Creutz elaborates.

  • Buy Northrop Grumman instead of Boeing: Portfolio manager

    When investing, it can be hard to choose which stocks to avoid and which to consider, especially when you are trying to gain exposure to a specific sector. In the latest edition of Good Buy or Goodbye, F/m Investments Senior Portfolio Manager Don Nesbitt shares his stock that could fly and which could face turbulence in the aerospace industry.  Nesbitt likes Northrop Grumman (NOC) for its "consistent earnings and sales growth." He also says the company has a strong order backlog and uses free cash flow to return cash to shareholders. He also thinks it has an attractive valuation. Nesbitt cautions, however, that the company risks facing an over-reliance on US government contracts.  Nesbitt is less of a fan of Boeing (BA). His first concern, which is a short-term one, is the uncertainty surrounding who will be leading the company after CEO Dave Calhoun steps down at the end of the year. Nesbitt also points to the debt downgrade from Moody's and the lack of a dividend. What could reverse his thesis? Investors shrugging off some of the more near-term concerns or that the leadership shake-up serves as a positive catalyst.

  • How AI is impacting Q1 earnings

    As earnings season continues to unfold, over 80% of S&P 500 (^GSPC) companies have now released their first-quarter results. To dissect the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on earnings, Market Domination Overtime welcomes The Transcript Editor and Founder of Avondale Asset Management Scott Krisiloff. Krisiloff acknowledges the first quarter earnings season has been stronger than expected, with consumers demonstrating resilience in the face of economic headwinds. However, a major theme that has emerged throughout the earnings reports is the crucial role of AI. Krisiloff notes that the tech companies with significant AI plays "are in one bucket," while the rest of the Fortune 500 corporations "very interested" in AI's potential to drive business growth and enhance their operations. He also notes how companies discussed how power-hungry AI systems are. "I think what we're seeing with AI is that it's this massive tool that's being built for humanity that has the potential to multiply economic output to levels that we haven't seen before, but, in order to do that, it's very energy-intensive," Krisiloff explains.

  • Why value needs to be the main focus for fast food restaurants

    As inflationary pressures mount, consumer spending has shown signs of slowing, with fast-food and fast-casual dining chains feeling the pinch. Joining Market Domination to discuss the importance of value within the restaurant industry are Bernstein Senior Analyst for U.S. Restaurants Danilo Gargiulo and UBS Executive Director of Equity Research Dennis Geiger. Gargiulo acknowledges that attracting customers has become "incrementally harder," with "traffic slowing down across the entire industry." He emphasizes that chains need to "be mindful" of ensuring value is a core component of their offerings. However, for giants like McDonald's (MCD), which operate under a franchise model, the question of profitability for individual franchisees and aligning their interests arises. Geiger echoes the sentiment, noting "an industry slowdown" within the quick-service restaurant and fast-food sectors. He attributes this trend to a variety of factors, including price increases, the broader inflationary environment, and even tightening consumer budgets. Regardless of the root causes, Geiger asserts that "there's softness" in consumer demand, particularly among lower-income consumers.
