Track market-moving stories before they get noisy

In today's volatile political climate, a movement called the Big Beautiful Boycott has emerged. The boycott, whose namesake parodies the Trump administration’s “One Big Beautiful Bill,” targets companies and brands that organizers say support political actors or organizations that undermine democratic rights and fair representation.

The campaign is still evolving. Its website says 10 new companies are added to the boycott list every Saturday, with organizers providing reasons and sources for each addition. That rolling structure helps explain why the list may name specific consumer brands rather than every brand owned by the same parent company. For investors, that matters because the market impact of a boycott may depend less on whether a brand appears on a list and more on whether the controversy affects sales, margins, or investor sentiment.

Do Boycotts Actually Affect Stock Prices?Boycotts have a long history in the United States and, in some cases, have had a transformative effect on the culture and economy.

The Montgomery Bus Boycott of 1955 and 1956 began after Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her bus seat to a white man, becoming a 13-month protest against segregated public transportation. The boycott cost Montgomery’s bus system tens of thousands of fares per day and ultimately led to a Supreme Court ruling that desegregated the buses.

A more recent example was the Bud Light boycott in 2023, which began after the brand sent a promotional package to transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney. The promotion sparked backlash from conservative consumers and became a national culture-war flashpoint. CNN reported that Anheuser-Busch InBev’s NYSE: BUD North American organic revenue fell $1.4 billion in 2023, primarily due to Bud Light’s U.S. sales decline, with a corresponding loss in market share. But investors who bought and held through that turbulence are now being rewarded, with the stock up approximately 20% from March 2023.

Therein lies the takeaway: Boycotts have a mixed history of effectiveness. Frequently, investors who look past the noise and at a company’s fundamentals can be rewarded for buying any dip that may come from a boycott. That makes the case for several stocks that are on this list.

For investors, the takeaway is that while a boycott may hurt near-term sales or sentiment, the longer-term investment case still depends on fundamentals, brand strength, margins, cash flow, and valuation. That makes several stocks on the Big Beautiful Boycott list worth a closer look.

While The Coca-Cola Company NYSE: KO itself does not appear on the Big Beautiful Boycott list, the campaign names at least two Coca-Cola-owned brands: Dasani and Minute Maid.

The stated rationale is tied to Coca-Cola as the parent company, with organizers citing political donations by Coca-Cola affiliates, the company’s participation in Trump-era economic advisory efforts, and Coca-Cola CEO James Quincey’s presentation of a commemorative Diet Coke bottle to President Trump.

But what does this boycott mean for Coca-Cola investors?

So far, not much. KO is up over 3% in the past 30 days, and up nearly 19% in 2026 so far.

While Coca-Cola does not break out revenue by Dasani or Minute Maid, but its Q1 2026 earnings report showed consolidated unit case volume up 3%, North America volume up 4%, and water up 5%. The company’s broader juice, value-added dairy, and plant-based beverage category declined 1%, but that weakness was not enough to derail the company’s overall volume growth

Coca-Cola is not a fast-growing company. The company’s own long-range estimates call for organic revenue growth are in the mid-single digits. That’s not, however, the reason most investors own the stock. That reason would be the company’s status as a Dividend King, as it reached 64 consecutive years in February 2026.

Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), specifically, the company’s Prime Video division, has also made the boycott list.

Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) 's Prime Video division has also made the boycott list due to Amazon's $1 million donation to President Trump’s inaugural fund, a separate $1 million in-kind streaming contribution from Prime Video, and labor-related concerns.

It would be a stretch to say this has had a meaningful impact on Amazon. Its stock is up more than 6% in 2026 so far, and the company’s Subscription Services revenue, which includes Prime memberships and digital media subscriptions, came in at over $13.4 billion in the last quarter, an increase of around 15% from the prior year.

The bigger investor concern is the company’s forecasted capital expenditures for the artificial intelligence (AI) data center buildout, which could be as high as $200 billion. That may weigh on AMZN more than the boycott in the second half of the year.

However, this is still a sum-of-its-parts company. Data shows U.S. online spending across retailers reached $26.4 billion during Amazon’s June 23-26 Prime Day event, up 9.3% from last year. That figure is not Amazon-only sales, but it still underscores Amazon’s ability to shape online shopping behavior at a time when consumers are focused on stretching every dollar.

Kraft Heinz Stock Looks Cheap, But Consumer Pressure RemainsKraft Heinz Today

Kraft Heinz NYSE: KHC doesn’t need any more bad news. 

While the company has been a favorite of value-seeking investors like Warren Buffett, its track record of growth has only been evident in its dividend. And that dividend, which yields around 6.5%, still appears safe.

Kraft Heinz pays an annual dividend of $1.60 per share, while management’s 2026 adjusted earnings pers ahre (EPS) guidance is $1.98 to $2.10.

While the campaign’s criticism appears aimed at Kraft Heinz as the parent company, the boycott list names several of its consumer brands, including Ore-Ida, Maxwell House, Jell-O, Stove Top, and Baker’s Chocolate. Organizers cite the White House's praise of Kraft Heinz’s planned $3 billion U.S. factory investment and the CEO's comments about potential economic policy benefits under the Trump administration.

Nevertheless, KHC is up about 9% over the past 30 days, which is largely due to the company’s decision to pause the split of its Kraft and Heinz business units and refocus on a $600 million turnaround investment plan.

The company will have to show investors that it can increase unit sales at a time when its core consumer is under pressure. Kraft Heinz has been one of the companies offering the most direct warnings that lower-income consumers are under pressure, and likely to remain so for the rest of 2026.

Still, at about 12x forward earnings, Kraft Heinz is attractively valued for investors with the patience to wait for a broader economic recovery. The risk is that a cheap valuation alone may not be enough if volume pressure continues or the turnaround takes longer than expected.

Palantir Signs a Deal With Mexico’s Top Insurer to Boost Commercial Business. Will It Boost the Stock?

In this article

Fresh off its worst month in five years, Palantir Technologies has unveiled its first commercial customer in Mexico, marking an expansion beyond the massive defense contracts that built its reputation.

Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:PLTR | PLTR Price Prediction) has become the poster child of the enterprise AI trade, and after a sharp first-half pullback, our proprietary model sees the setup skewing bullish again. Shares closed at $129.30 on July 2, and our 24/7 Wall St. price target for Palantir is $161.53 over the next 12 months, implying 24.93% upside. Our recommendation is buy, with a high confidence level of 90%.

24/7 Wall St. Price Target Summary Metric Value Current Price $129.30 24/7 Wall St. Price Target $161.53 Upside 24.93% Recommendation BUY Confidence Level 90% A Volatile Path Back to $129 Palantir has been one of the most whiplashed AI names of 2026. The stock is down 27.26% year to date after peaking at $207.52, yet it has rebounded 20.54% in the past week off the recent low of $106.37. The pullback came despite fundamentals that keep getting stronger.

In Q1 2026, reported May 4, PLTR delivered adjusted EPS of $0.33 against a $0.28 consensus, on revenue of $1.632 billion, up 84.7% year over year, the highest growth rate in company history. U.S. commercial revenue exploded 133% to $595 million, and management raised full-year revenue guidance to $7.65 to $7.66 billion.

The Case for $200+ Bulls have specific numbers to lean on. Palantir’s Rule of 40 score is 145%, a level CEO Alex Karp said is “matched only by other fellow AI infrastructure companies: NVIDIA, Micron and SK Hynix.” U.S. commercial remaining deal value hit $4.92 billion, up 112%, and PLTR closed 47 deals of $10 million or more in the quarter alone. Adjusted operating margin expanded to 60%, and free cash flow surged 204% to $924.6 million.

The Street’s consensus target of $183.12 with 20 Buy or Strong Buy ratings underscores this view. Our bull-case scenario puts PLTR at $203.24 within a year if AIP adoption keeps compounding.

What Could Go Wrong The valuation is the risk. PLTR trades at a trailing P/E of 145 and a forward P/E of 89, with a price-to-sales of 59. Michael Burry’s June 3 critique labeling Palantir “A Sand Castle Supported Only By AI Applications Narrative” drove sustained bearish discussion.

Insider activity has been net selling, with directors and executives, including CEO Karp, disposing of shares in the $132 to $137 range following May 20 vesting. Bulls counter that most of this reflects planned 10b5-1 disposals executed after a scheduled RSU vest. A multiple compression toward peer software levels puts our bear-case at $141.79.

The Setup Into Q2 Earnings The 24/7 Wall St. price target of $161.53 and buy rating reflect a rare combination of hypergrowth and cash generation. A key technical level to watch is the 50-day moving average of $134.58 into Q2 earnings, which management guided to $1.797 to $1.801 billion in revenue.

A deceleration in U.S. commercial growth below 100% would materially weaken the thesis. With the Rule of 40 at 145%, the model’s balance of factors leans constructive.

Looking further ahead, here is where our model projects Palantir could trade, assuming current growth trajectories hold and multiple compression proceeds gradually.

Year 24/7 Wall St. Price Target 2026 $161.53 2027 $185 2028 $210 2029 $230 2030 $249.20 These projections assume Palantir keeps executing on AIP monetization and U.S. commercial expansion. Significant upside or downside could result from federal spending shifts or aggressive multiple compression.

Micron insiders have sold more than $100 million in company stock over the past 24 months, and they’re not slowing down.

Per the Oppenheimer desk, as cited by CNBC’s Carl Quintanilla on Bluesky this morning, “$MU, the second-best performing SPX stock YTD, is seeing insider selling at the highest level on record since 2010.” That framing captures the paradox for Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU | MU Price Prediction) holders: the stock is up 703.29% over the past year, yet the people who know the business best are heading for the exits.

The Selling Pattern SEC filings show a consistent pattern. On May 1, 2026, CEO Sanjay Mehrotra sold 40,000 shares at an average of $536.26 per share, roughly $21.45 million. On May 29, he sold 37,439 shares across 30 separate transactions at a weighted average of $960.38, approximately $35.96 million. Then on June 26, Mehrotra disposed of a combined 38,030 shares in two transactions totaling roughly $46.3 million at prices ranging from $1,128 to $1,192. Board director Lynn Dugle followed on July 2, selling 1,300 shares valued at approximately $1.5 million.

Per Benzinga Pro and SEC Form 4 filings, insiders have sold approximately 49,600 shares worth $27 million in the last 30 days, with zero reported purchases. GuruFocus counts 1 insider buy against 36 sells over the past year.

The 10b5-1 Nuance Context matters. Every Mehrotra sale has been executed under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on January 30, 2026, a pre-scheduled arrangement that runs automatically regardless of price. The plan was set before the AI-driven melt-up. Mehrotra remains substantially invested: he still directly holds approximately 344,503 shares plus 607,075 shares held indirectly through grantor retained annuity trusts.

The Bull Case Fundamentals are extraordinary. Q3 fiscal 2026 revenue hit $41.46B, up 345.7% year over year, with non-GAAP EPS of $25.11 and GAAP gross margin of 84.6%. Mehrotra told investors, “Micron’s record fiscal Q3 financial results and even stronger outlook for Q4 reflect the strategic value of memory in the AI era.” On the Q2 call he added, “Some of our key customers, we are able to fulfill only 50% to two-thirds of their demand in the medium term.” Wall Street is aligned: the analyst target sits at $1,486, with 31 Buy and 9 Strong Buy ratings. Forward P/E is 7.

The Bear Case The counter-signal is the price action underneath. Insider selling at the highest rate since 2010, more than $100 million in 24 months, accelerating into new highs. InvestingPro flags the shares as overvalued and places MU on its “Most Overvalued” list. Reddit sentiment sits at a bullish 61, but the stock has already dropped 19.61% in the past week.

While investors have sold off Micron over the past week, re-read the price we quoted earlier. Mehrota’s May 1 sales came at $536.26 per share. Micron shares are down another 5.6% in premarket trading to $930 per share. That’s still up a substantial amount from where the stock traded less than two months ago.

The Lynch Question Peter Lynch put it plainly: “Insiders might sell their shares for any number of reasons, but they buy them for only one: they think the price will rise.” The 10b5-1 explanation covers Mehrota. Yet, across 36 sell transactions in a year, not a single Micron insider stepped up to buy a share on the open market. That absence, more than any single sale, is the data point investors must weigh.

Act now: the analyst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just named his top 10 AI stocks — and Micron Technology didn't make the cut. Grab the names FREE today.

Lower mortgage costs and sales jump offer hope, even as inventory growth hits a three-year low

Home sales jumped 5.9% from last year, according to Zillow's June Market Report, reversing May's decline. New listings grew 3% annually after falling in May, though total inventory has nearly stalled after a long run of gains. Listing trends are diverging by price tier, with more inventory and sales for lower-priced homes. Lower mortgage rates helped push the typical monthly payment 2.5% below year-ago levels. , /PRNewswire/ -- Home sales jumped in June and mortgage costs fell further below last year's levels, offering some hope for a mild sales recovery this year, according to the Zillow® June Market Report.

Sales climbed 9.2% from May and are now 5.9% above year-ago levels, a trend reversal after sales fell on an annual basis in May. Affordability continued to improve, as well, with the cost of a typical mortgage down 2.5% from last year, before taxes and insurance. Mortgage rates are driving the improvement, down more than 20 basis points since last year, according to Freddie Mac. The typical U.S. home value of $372,057 is up just 1.1% from a year ago.

In another reversal from May, new listings rose 3% year over year, a sign that there may yet be some life left in this year's home shopping season. Total inventory rose again on a year-over-year basis, extending a long streak of gains. But the gain was just 0.9%, the smallest since December 2023.

"The market wrestled with some uncertainty throughout the spring shopping season, but mortgage rates declining from their mid-spring peak has added some extra heat as we head into an already toasty summer," said Mischa Fisher, chief economist at Zillow. "While the lowest price tiers are exhibiting some softness in terms of price, they also had the most listing-activity growth, the first time since 2022 that's been the case. While the divergence in sale price is notably 'k-shaped,' affordability gains did continue in June."

Home Values & Mortgage Payments

The typical U.S. home value is $372,057. The Zillow Home Value Index (ZHVI) rose 0.7% month over month in June. Home values are 1.1% higher than a year earlier. The monthly mortgage payment on a typical U.S. home is $1,884, assuming a 20% down payment and excluding taxes and insurance. That is 2.5% lower than last year. Inventory

There were 1.39 million homes for sale nationwide in June. Active inventory was 0.9% higher than a year earlier. Inventory rose 2% from May. New for-sale listings totaled 403,811 in June, up 3% from a year earlier and down 4.6% from May. Sales

381,125 homes were sold in June, according to the preliminary Zillow sales count nowcast. That is 5.9% higher than a year earlier and up 9.2% from May. These figures will be revised mid-month. Newly pending listings, which measures listings that changed from for-sale to pending status rather than closed sales, shows 7.6% growth from a year earlier and a 1.5% decrease from May. Competition

Homes took a median of 20 days to go pending in June. That was the same as a year earlier and two days slower than in May. The share of listings with a price cut in June was 25.8%. That was down from 26.6% a year earlier and up from 23.9% in May. 30.3% of homes sold above list price in May, the most recent data available. That's compared to 31.1% a year earlier and 28.3% in April. Rents

The typical rent nationwide is $1,965, according to the Zillow Observed Rent Index. That's 2.2% higher than a year earlier and up 0.4% from May. 39.7% of rental listings on Zillow offered a concession in June. That's up from 39.5% in May, and up from 35.2% a year earlier. Local data can be found on Zillow's market explorer. The Zillow July Market Report is expected to be released August 5.

European production to boost output and strengthen the transatlantic defense industrial base

, /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon, an RTX (NYSE: RTX) business, is working with European companies, including Diehl Defence, to double Stinger® missile production in response to growing global demand.

Working with Raytheon, Diehl Defence will produce the guidance section, a key component of the Stinger missile, and source related subcomponents from across Europe. Raytheon is also working with key Dutch suppliers to produce additional major Stinger assemblies. The final Stinger missile will be assembled, tested and completed in the Netherlands.

"We are laser-focused on doubling our Stinger missile production capacity," said Tom Laliberty, president of Land & Air Defense Systems at Raytheon. "Expanding Stinger production in Europe strengthens our industrial base and broadens our global network, ensuring our allies have reliable access to this critical air defense capability."

The Stinger missile is a lightweight, combat-proven and self-contained air defense system deployed by ground troops against cruise missiles and aircraft. Stinger is the preferred surface-to-air missile for 24 countries, including 10 NATO members.

"We are proud to work together once again on Stinger, where we previously produced relevant parts of the missile," said Helmut Rauch, Diehl Defence CEO. "Producing the guidance section for new Stinger systems marks another strong chapter of cooperation between Diehl Defence and Raytheon."

The expanded production capacity in Europe will help support future work with the NATO Support and Procurement Agency, known as the NSPA, to meet European demand.

The financial-technology stock was the biggest riser in the S&P 500 ahead of the open, despite broader tech weakness.

ServiceNow stock is gaining positive traction. What’s pushing NOW stock higher? What Is Driving ServiceNow’s Stock Momentum?The move follows ServiceNow’s rollout with Accenture of two AI-focused offerings: managed security services built on the ServiceNow AI Platform and an Accenture AI-powered automation solution aimed at lowering the cost and complexity of modernizing enterprise risk and security operations. The news flow also includes an upgrade to Buy from Guggenheim, which framed the pullback as a better entry setup.

Critical Price Levels To Watch For NOW StockThe bigger-picture chart is still in repair mode: the stock is down 47.86% over the past 12 months and remains 15.9% below its 200-day SMA ($132.45), which is why rallies can still face "prove it" price action. That said, the near-term trend has improved with shares trading 9.7% above the 20-day SMA ($101.54), 11.2% above the 50-day SMA ($100.25), and 8.3% above the 100-day SMA ($102.88).

Momentum looks like it’s trying to turn the corner using MACD as the cleaner read here: MACD is above its signal line and the histogram is positive, which points to improving upside pressure versus the prior downswing. In plain terms, when MACD is above the signal line, it suggests downside momentum is fading and buyers are gaining traction.

The moving-average structure is mixed, which fits the "bounce vs. trend reversal" debate. The 20-day SMA is above the 50-day SMA (bullish), but the death cross from August 2025 (50-day below 200-day) is still a longer-term headwind until price can reclaim and hold that long average.

Key Resistance: $126.50 — a nearby ceiling that lines up closely with the 200-day EMA ($126.10), a common area where countertrend rallies can stall Key Support: $89.50 — a prior demand zone that sits above the 52-week low area ($81.24), making it a key "last line" if the bounce fails How ServiceNow Operates in the SaaS MarketServiceNow provides software solutions to structure and automate various business processes via a SaaS delivery model, with a core focus on the IT function for enterprise customers. It started in IT service management, expanded across IT workflows, and has pushed workflow automation into customer service, HR service delivery, and security operations.

That backdrop matters for the Accenture tie-up because security operations and risk workflows are areas where large enterprises often want packaged solutions plus implementation help. Partnerships that bundle platform software with services can shorten adoption cycles, but the stock still needs follow-through on monetization to shift the longer-term trend.

ServiceNow Earnings Preview for July 2026Looking further out, the next major catalyst for the stock arrives with the July 22, 2026 (confirmed) earnings report.

EPS Estimate: 76 cents (Down from 82 cents YoY) Revenue Estimate: $3.93 Billion (Up from $3.21 Billion YoY) Valuation: P/E of 64.2x (Indicates premium valuation relative to peers) Analyst Consensus & Recent Actions: The stock carries a Buy rating with an average price target of $138.21. Recent analyst moves include:

Guggenheim: Upgraded to Buy (Target $125.00) (July 1) BTIG: Buy (Maintains Target $150.00) (June 29) Benchmark: Buy (Raises Target $130.00) (June 15) ServiceNow’s Benzinga Edge Scorecard BreakdownBelow is the Benzinga Edge scorecard for ServiceNow, highlighting its strengths and weaknesses compared to the broader market:

The Verdict: ServiceNow’s Benzinga Edge signal reveals a growth-heavy profile with weak value and weak momentum, meaning the setup can work, but it tends to need sustained upside follow-through to justify the premium. For longer-term bulls, reclaiming the 200-day area is the cleaner "trend repair" tell; for risk control, the $89.50 zone is the key downside level to monitor.

ServiceNow Stock Price Movement NOW Stock Price Activity: ServiceNow shares were up 3.40% at $111.60 at the time of publication on Tuesday, according to Benzinga Pro data.

SK Hynix is making its U.S. market debut on the Nasdaq through an ADR listing expected to raise roughly $28.1 billion, a number that would rank as the second-largest equity share sale on record. The offering speaks to the depth of investor appetite for companies at the center of the AI infrastructure buildout, with the South Korean memory giant arriving at a moment when demand for its products is running well ahead of available supply.

This article will be updated throughout the day, so check back often for more daily updates. 

The Nasdaq Composite is heading into Tuesday under pressure as chip stocks face another round of selling and investors show fresh signs of rotating away from AI-driven names. Nasdaq 100 futures are off 1%, S&P 500 futures are slipping 0.1%, and Dow futures are moving in the opposite direction, adding 225 points, or 0.4%, as capital shifts away from tech toward more traditional corners of the market.

The session’s tone was set overnight in Asia, where Samsung’s record Q2 profit fell flat as worries over spending and demand overshadowed the headline numbers, dragging South Korea’s KOSPI down nearly 5%. The weakness carried into U.S. premarket trade, pulling Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU | MU Price Prediction), KLA (NASDAQ:KLAC), Marvell Technology (NASDAQ:MRVL), Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO), and AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) all lower. Meanwhile, Wall Street remains bullish, as evidenced by Goldman Sachs’ decision to lift its price target on AMD to $640, up from $450, reemphasizing a “buy” rating attached.

A Reuters report revealed that China’s DeepSeek is building its own AI chip, a move that would lessen its reliance on Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Samsung hardware, sending Nvidia shares down more than 2% and compounded the cautious mood across the tape. SpaceX (NASDAQ:SPCX) is taking it on the chin ahead of its historic Nasdaq 100 entrance today.

Here’s a look at where things stand as of pre-morning trading:

Act now: the analyst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just named his top 10 AI stocks — and Amazon didn't make the cut. Grab the names FREE today.

Dow Jones Industrial Average: 53,557 Up 0.34%
Nasdaq Composite: 29,617 Down 1.08%
S&P 500: 7,576 Down 0.20%

Market Movers Famous economist Mohamed El-Erian flagged Samsung’s (OTC:SSNLF) post-earnings selloff as a market signal worth watching, noting on X that shares tumbled 7% despite record-breaking results, including an expected 1,800% jump in profits, a reminder of just how high the bar has risen for tech. The selloff dragged South Korea’s KOSPI down 5%, with ripple effects reaching U.S. markets as Nasdaq futures fell in sympathy. El-Erian’s broader question was whether this elevated expectations threshold will tighten funding conditions across the tech sector and ultimately weigh on the wider economy.

Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) is tapping the debt markets, announcing plans to raise capital through a bond offering structured across eight U.S. dollar-denominated tranches. Details are sparse, though the multi-tranche structure signals a substantial raise as the e-commerce and cloud giant looks to fund its expanding AI infrastructure ambitions.

Raymond James is opening its SpaceX (NASDAQ:SPCX) coverage with a price target that reaches for the stratosphere, attaching an $800 target on the stock alongside a Strong Buy rating. The firm considers SpaceX “one of the defining industrial infrastructure companies of the 21st century,” a bold opening statement for a stock that has already rewritten the record books since its IPO last month.

Palo Alto Networks stock continues its strong uptrend this week and is now hovering at its all-time high. PANW jumped by 156% from its lowest point this year, with analysts expecting more gains. 

BNP Paribas predicts that PANW will jump from the current $357 to $380, while Wells Fargo sees it soaring to $420. Other analysts who are bullish on the company are from BTIG and Arete Research. 

The general view among analysts is that Palo Alto Networks will continue doing well in the coming years because of the AI boom. The theory is that, as AI agents become more common, companies will need defensive measures.

All these points are valid. However, technicals suggest that the stock may experience a brief retreat in the coming weeks or months. For one, the stock has become extremely overbought, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) soaring to 80. Baring a minor retreat in June, it has remained in the overbought zone since May. 

Notably, the RSI indicator has formed a double-top pattern with a neckline at 57. This pattern suggests that it will reverse in the near term. 

At the same time, the current PANW stock has deviated substantially from its historical moving averages. The 50-day moving average is at $265, much lower than the stock’s price of $357. 

As such, there is a risk that the stock will go through a situation known as mean reversion. This is a situation where an asset drops back to its historical moving averages as investors book profits. 

Therefore, these technicals point to a short-term reversal, potentially to the psychological level of $300. Such a pullback will not be new for the stock. For example, after rising to $222.85 in October 25, the stock retreated by 37% to $139.1 in February and then bounced back.

Palo Alto Network’s business is expected to keep doing well in the coming years, especially now that it has acquired CyberArk. CyberArk gave it CORA AI, the central hub for identity security-focused AI capabilities. 

Yahoo Finance data shows that the average view is that its revenue will jump by 24% this year to $11.4 billion. It is expected to rise by 20% in the next financial year to nearly $14 billion. Similarly, its earnings per share are expected to hit $3.77.

Based on Palo Alto’s history, chances are that it will do better than what analysts expect. It has beaten forecasts in the past 7 consecutive quarters.

Still, in addition to its risky technicals, PANW stock’s other risk is its valuation. SeekingAlpha data shows that it has a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 92.25, higher than the sector median of 24. Its PE multiple is much higher than the five-year average of 57.

This valuation multiple suggests that the company is priced for perfection and that its next earnings report will be crucial. If the earnings and guidance are not all that strong, there is a risk that it may retreat as it did after the last earnings report when it fell to $250 from $305.

First-of-its-kind UK coverage provides up to 13 years of protection, supporting project financing and long-term operational flexibility for battery energy storage assets

, /PRNewswire/ -- Pulse Clean Energy (Pulse), a leader in energy storage, has reached financial close on two battery energy storage projects in the United Kingdom (UK), supported by Technology Performance Insurance (TPI) from Ariel Green. The bespoke insurance solution represents the first TPI policies placed for energy storage projects in the UK market and reflects a growing global trend toward innovative risk management solutions for clean energy infrastructure.

The coverage was designed specifically for Pulse's Plymouth and Dowlais battery energy storage projects, which are currently under construction. Providing long-term protection for up to 13 years, the policy supports project financing while giving Pulse flexibility to manage the assets throughout their operational life.

By tailoring the coverage to the unique technical and commercial risks of each project, Ariel Green's TPI solution gives Pulse greater flexibility to replace components over time while maintaining long-term risk protection. The coverage also supports financing by providing lenders with additional confidence in the long-term performance and reliability of the assets.

Aazzum Yassir, Director of Technology and Operations at Pulse Clean Energy, said, "As our portfolio grows, finding smarter ways to manage long-term risk becomes increasingly important. Securing Technology Performance Insurance for Plymouth and Dowlais is a significant step in that direction, giving us the flexibility we need to manage our assets effectively, whilst providing lenders and investors the confidence they need in the performance of our projects. We're proud to be the first energy storage developer to place this kind of coverage in the UK market and look forward to seeing both projects begin operations and play their part in delivering secure, lower-cost energy for people across the UK."

The transaction highlights Ariel Green's role as a trusted risk management partner for energy storage developers and investors. Backed by the financial strength of the Lloyd's of London Chain of Security and supported by deep technical expertise, the company's approach combines customized coverage with close collaboration throughout the project lifecycle.

"Clean energy project development requires a flexible approach to risk management, given the complex blend of technical and commercial challenges involved," said Fraser Blunt, Leader Europe, Ariel Green. "Through our bespoke investment-grade cover, we provide enabling risk support that helps projects secure financing and achieve long-term operational success. This is built on our experience supporting a wide range of renewable technologies across Europe and around the globe and reflects the increasing need for long-term performance protection as energy storage deployment accelerates across Europe."

The projects also advance Ariel Green's mission to protect the technologies that protect the environment. By supporting infrastructure that strengthens grid resilience in England and Wales, the partnership helps enable greater integration of renewable energy resources and contributes to long-term decarbonisation efforts.

The successful placement was the result of close collaboration among Pulse Clean Energy, Ariel Green, Aon as broker, and Eversheds Sutherland as legal adviser, demonstrating the value of customised solutions in addressing the evolving needs of the energy storage sector.

"Pulse Clean Energy is a leader in the UK energy storage market and has taken a forward-thinking approach to managing technology and performance risk," said Jamie Daggett, Energy Storage Lead, Ariel Green. "We were pleased to work alongside the Pulse team to develop an innovative insurance solution that provides greater long-term flexibility for Pulse. This transaction demonstrates how TPI can strengthen project bankability by providing long-term performance protection. We look forward to expanding our partnership with Pulse and helping drive broader adoption of flexible, customized risk-transfer solutions throughout the market."

As energy storage deployment accelerates worldwide, the use of Technology Performance Insurance is gaining momentum across global markets. The Plymouth and Dowlais projects represent an important milestone in that evolution, providing a model for how innovative insurance solutions can help unlock investment and manage long-term technology risk.

The market is not only technically overbought at this time, but arguably on shaky fundamental ground. High inflation is slowly chipping away at the economy, and the steep valuations of artificial intelligence (AI) stocks that performed so well when the AI revolution was still young are now being questioned.

Nevertheless, there are compelling growth stocks out there. You just might need to dig a little deeper than you normally would to find them. Here are three suggestions to get your search started.

Plug Power For the entirety of Plug Power's (PLUG 0.95%) 29-year existence, it's been unprofitable, and increasingly so. For most of this time, plenty of observers wondered why the hydrogen fuel cell company was so willing to stick with what seemingly looked like a lost cause.

Now we know. This technology is finally moving into the mainstream, offering the company a chance to reach enough scale that profitability is at least possible.

What's a hydrogen fuel cell? In simplest terms, it's an electrolyte membrane that splits hydrogen molecules into positively and negatively charged protons and electrons. These cells can be used to power anything from small vehicles to buildings, including data centers. For most of this technology's existence, its stumbling block was just a lack of acceptance stemming from a lack of understanding, and the fact that pure hydrogen isn't exactly cheap or easy to procure.

That's changing, though. As with any other new technology that the world wasn't quite ready to embrace in its infancy, the hydrogen industry -- including Plug Power -- is addressing its own biggest impediments. For instance, the company now makes and markets electrolyzers that split ordinary water into oxygen and hydrogen. It also simply sells hydrogen, and even sells electricity produced by its own equipment.

Moreover, this approach is working. Although Plug Power won't be out of the red and in the black in the immediate future, last year's net loss was 20% less than 2024's loss even as 2025 revenue grew 13%. Give credit to its higher-margin profit centers like power purchase agreements and the sale of raw hydrogen, mostly, which are expanding to make up more and more of its total top line. At its current rate, the company expects to swing to a profit by late 2028.

As for the underlying tailwind, Precedence Research predicts that the global hydrogen business will double in size by 2035, while the fuel cell market itself could grow at an average annual pace of 25% in the same timeframe.

ServiceNow It's not too difficult to figure out why ServiceNow (NOW +2.70%) shares have been nearly halved over the course of the past year. Although it was one of the companies that helped usher in the era of automation of computer-based tasks, the very same rise of artificial intelligence it helped drive now poses an existential threat. That is, anyone can use AI to create their own automation solutions -- often for free.

But it's becoming clear that many of these solutions don't provide the same reliability or functionality as ServiceNow's apps, which were coded from the ground up to excel at a particular task.

The irony is that although most investors may not believe AI-powered coding agents are all that great, most of ServiceNow's paying customers obviously do. Its first-quarter non-GAAP revenue of almost $3.7 billion was up 19% year over year, with the bulk of that coming from subscriptions with a renewal rate regularly at or above 97% through the first quarter.

The company is looking for similar results through the remainder of the year as well. Given that it's regularly rated as a leader of Gartner's rankings of all the enterprise application developers, this double-digit growth pace could easily persist well into the future.

This might help. Although investors as a whole clearly aren't too hopeful, the vast majority of analysts covering this stock currently rate the stock as a strong buy, with a consensus target of $140.38, which is more than 30% above this ticker's present price.

Marvell Technology Last but not least, add Marvell Technology (MRVL 5.43%) to your list of growth stocks to buy now, while it's down 20% from its late June peak. Marvell makes computing hardware, largely for data centers. This includes switches, Ethernet controllers, digital signal processors, storage interfaces, and, increasingly, even computing processors.

It's not the only name in any of its businesses. It competes with Broadcom on the networking front, and of course, Nvidia remains the leader of the AI compute market. That market is slowly opening up to other options, though. Due to a combination of costs and the need for more specific solutions, newcomers are coming to the table.

For instance, after developing high-performance processors for its own internal uses, e-commerce outfit Amazon is now entertaining the idea of selling these so-called Trainium chips to third-party customers outside of its AI data center ecosystem. That would put it into a business which Precedence Research believes will grow at an average annual pace of 25% per year through 2035, when it will be worth $550 billion. It's a particularly relevant development to Marvell Technology, simply because it helped design Amazon's Trainium processors.

This is just one example of how Marvell can capitalize on the always-evolving artificial intelligence market, of course. Investors won't necessarily need to wait for this sort of specialty design work to start paying off, either.

Last year's top line improved by more than 40%, pushing the company out of the red and well into the black. Analysts are looking for similar revenue growth this year and next, more than doubling per-share profits in the process. Despite the pessimistic rhetoric surrounding its practicality, nobody actually seems to think demand for more AI infrastructure is going to slow down anytime soon.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Counterpart Health, Inc. (“Counterpart”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Clover Health Investments, Corp. (Nasdaq: CLOV) (“Clover” or “Clover Health”), and a leading AI-powered physician enablement platform, today released findings within the whitepaper “Clinical Excellence in Continuity of Care: A Real-World Analysis of Counterpart Assistant's Role in Post-Hospitalization Follow-up.”

The whitepaper examines the relationship between CA use by primary care physicians (“PCPs”) and performance on high-risk care transition outcomes, including two HEDIS®1 quality measures within Clover Health’s Medicare Advantage population: Transitions of Care (“TRC”) and Follow-Up After Emergency Department Visit for People with Multiple High-Risk Chronic Conditions (“FMC”).

Counterpart Health partners with payers and provider organizations to help primary care teams identify care gaps, manage risk, and improve quality and financial performance across populations with complex clinical needs. For transitions of care, CA helps turn acute utilization events into timely, trackable follow-up work by generating tasks after hospital discharge and surfacing available hospitalization information, including medication information, lab results, procedures, and discharge summaries, within clinicians’ existing workflows.

"Patients are at their most vulnerable when they are discharged from the hospital, where communication gaps and missed follow-ups with their PCP can lead to avoidable complications," said David Tsay, MD, PhD, Chief Medical Officer at Counterpart Health and co-author of the whitepaper. "CA is supporting PCPs in ensuring follow-up care happens, and that patients are getting the proactive and longitudinal care they need.”

Key highlights from the whitepaper include:

Stronger transitions of care performance: Members attributed to CA-enabled PCPs performed better across all HEDIS Transitions of Care measures reviewed, including notification of inpatient admission, patient engagement after discharge, receipt of discharge information, and medication reconciliation.More frequent post-discharge coordination: Members attributed to CA-enabled PCPs had a 33% higher rate of receipt of discharge information and an 11% higher rate of medication reconciliation post-discharge.More timely ED follow-up for high-risk members: Members attributed to CA-enabled PCPs had a 9% higher rate on the HEDIS FMC measure, which evaluates follow-up after emergency department visits for people with multiple high-risk chronic conditions. "Primary care providers are often best positioned to identify emerging risks and intervene before they escalate, but they need timely, actionable information to do so," said Conrad Wai, Chief Executive Officer of Counterpart Health. "This analysis highlights how Counterpart Assistant can help bridge the gap between hospital discharge and outpatient management. By equipping providers with insights that support timely follow-up and patient engagement, we believe CA can strengthen care coordination, reduce avoidable acute utilization, and contribute to lower total cost of care."

This whitepaper is Counterpart’s eighth retrospective data analysis measuring CA's clinical impact, building on the care model and data foundation that supported Clover's #1 HEDIS score nationwide for a PPO Medicare Advantage plan for the last two years2. By embedding post-acute needs into the existing clinical workflow, CA helps enable more timely follow-up during one of the most vulnerable periods in a patient’s care journey.

Counterpart Assistant is commercially available to interested plans and risk-bearing provider organizations looking to advance this work. To learn more about Counterpart Health, visit: www.counterparthealth.com.

Pre-Market Stock Futures: Futures are trading mixed, with the Nasdaq getting hammered after a gangbuster start to the first full trading week of the third quarter. All of the major indices finished the day higher, with chip stocks once again leading the way. When the dust settled at the close, the Nasdaq finished the day up 1.12% at 26,121, while the S&P 500 posted a strong Monday closing at 7,537, up 0.72%. The small-cap heavy Russell 2000 also posted a winning session, closing up 0.61% at 3,014. The Dow Jones Industrial Average initially traded lower but turned around at noon, finishing at 53,056, up 0.30%, closing over 53,000 for the first time. The combination of momentum tech trading, falling oil prices, and the Federal Reserve’s pressure to raise rates subsiding as inflation fears diminish all contributed to the strong start to the week.

Treasury Bonds: Yields were down across the lion’s share of the Treasury curve as buyers continue to embrace the no interest rate hike chant, as oil prices continue to tumble. Inflationary risk from worldwide geopolitical issues is also falling, another encouraging sign for the bond market. The 30-year bond closed Monday at 4.98%, essentially unchanged, while the benchmark 10-year note was last seen at 4.47%. 

Oil and Gas Oil prices for the major benchmarks were modestly lower on Monday, as sellers took a breather after hitting war-inflated oil bids hard over the last couple of weeks in June. Brent Crude closed Monday at $72.07, down 0,.07%, while West Texas Intermediate closed flat at $68.68, down just 0.01%. Natural gas continued its move higher, finishing the session at $3.25, up 1.69%.

Gold: Gold finished Monday lower after a solid move higher last week. After a trading higher in the morning, precious metals faded in the afternoon, with traders citing dollar strength as the main driver. By the close, Gold finished at $4,160, down 0.32%, while Silver was last seen at $61.87, lower by 0.60%

Crypto: Cryptocurrencies traded on a volatile note Monday, with Bitcoin dipping below $62,000 early in the session before rebounding to the $63,000–$65,000 range. The asset eventually stabilized, posting a roughly 1.8% daily gain. The midday recovery was primarily fueled by President Donald Trump’s pro-crypto remarks, which helped offset an initial 2% decline triggered by Strategy’s (NASDAQ: MSTR | MSTR Price Prediction) large-scale $216 million Bitcoin liquidation. At 8 AM EDT, Bitcoin was trading at $63,270, while Ethereum was reported at $1,779.
