Here&#8217;s a look at the Benzinga Stock Whisper Index for the week ending June 6:
TTM Technologies (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTMI#NASDAQ">TTMI</a>): the technology solutions company saw strong interest from readers during the week with no major news reported. The stock has been soaring over the last year, hitting new all-time highs recently. On May 9, the company announced a $100 million share buyback that could help boost future earnings per share. The company beat analyst estimates for earnings per share in the first quarter, marking two straight beats and beating analyst estimates for eps in seven of the last eight quarters. The lone non-beat was an in-line figure in that time period. The company also beat analyst revenue projections in the first quarter, marking five straight quarterly beats. The stock was up around 5% over the last week, as shown on the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0606"> Benzinga Pro chart</a> below.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href=" https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0606"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="997" height="496" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06174712/Screenshot-439.png" alt="" class="wp-image-941858" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06174712/Screenshot-439.png 997w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06174712/Screenshot-439-300x149.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06174712/Screenshot-439-768x382.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 997px) 100vw, 997px" /></a></figure>
Shell PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHEL#NYSE">SHEL</a>): The oil and gas stock saw increased interest from readers during the week with minimal news. The big news for the sector in recent weeks was the decision by OPEC to keep output unchanged after discussing increasing output for the month of July. This decision could keep the price of oil steady. In May, the company announced quarterly results with earnings per share beating analyst estimates and revenue missing estimates. In May, the company also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/25/05/45664619/shell-boosts-nigerian-deepwater-assets-with-totalenergies-stake-purchase">announced a deal</a> between its Nigeria Exploration segment and TotalEnergies SE's Nigeria Limited segment, which increases Shell's total ownership from 55% to 67.5%. The deal comes as Shell is looking to increase its total production annually.

Spotify Technology (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>): The music streaming company saw shares hit all-time highs thanks to some analyst upgrades and notes. A <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/45750281/spotify-stock-smashes-records-goldman-sees-200-billion-music-streaming-market-by-2035">report from Goldman Sachs</a> said the global music market could double in size over the next decade with Spotify a potential winner. The report predicts global paid subscribers for music streaming will hit 1.51 billion by 2035 with 75% of the growth coming from emerging markets. Spotify had a 35% market share for global paid music streaming in 2024 with 263 million subscribers. Goldman Sachs said Spotify could further monetize their user base with fan promotions and selling concert tickets. JPMorgan also recently raised the price target on Spotify from $670 to $730 while maintaining an Overweight rating. Canaccord recently maintained a Buy rating and raised the price target from $700 to $775. Another item potentially helping Spotify could be a rush of Taylor Swift fans, aka Swifties, to the platform to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/entertainment/25/06/45783291/spotify-early-winner-from-taylor-swift-buying-back-old-albums-a-love-story-for-fans-streaming-company">listen to her older songs</a> and records now that she owns the rights to all of her music.

Cellebrite (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLBT#NASDAQ">CLBT</a>): Digital intelligence company Cellebrite saw increased interest from readers during the week, likely the result of the company announcing its <a href="https://investors.cellebrite.com/news-releases/news-release-details/cellebrite-acquire-corellium">acquisition </a>of Corellium, a leading in Arm-based virtualization software. The company said the combination will lead to new standards for digital investigations and smart device security. The acquisition is expected to expand the total addressable market size for Cellebrite's public and private sector efforts. Needham analysts also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CLBT/analyst-ratings">reiterated a Buy rating </a>on Cellebrite with a $24 price target recently.  
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href=" https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0606"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1001" height="502" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06174754/Screenshot-442.png" alt="" class="wp-image-941861" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06174754/Screenshot-442.png 1001w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06174754/Screenshot-442-300x150.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06174754/Screenshot-442-768x385.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px" /></a></figure>
Axon Enterprises (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXON#NASDAQ">AXON</a>): Shares of the cloud-based digital evidence company and owner of the TASER devices hit new all-time highs recently. The stock saw increased interest from readers during the week. The interest likely stems from a Bank of America <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AXON/analyst-ratings">analyst note </a>with a Buy rating maintained and the price target going up from $750 to $895. The interest in Axon Enterprises comes after the company<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45271559/axon-enterprise-stock-pops-on-q1-earnings-key-details"> beat analyst estimates</a> for revenue and earnings per share in the first quarter. The company also raised full-year guidance for revenue after the first-quarter beat. Axon was previously on the Stock Whisper Index <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44333602/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet">in March</a> and has been a top performing stock with shares up over 180% over the last year.

Benzinga's 'Stock Whisper' Index: 5 Stocks Investors Secretly Monitor But Don't Talk About Yet

Axon Enterprise's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXON#NYSE">AXON</a>) short percent of float has risen 6.82% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 1.56 million shares sold short, which is 2.35% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.12 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Axon Enterprise Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1749232827_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Axon Enterprise has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Axon Enterprise's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Axon Enterprise's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.99%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

$1000 Invested In Axon Enterprise 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) has emerged as the brightest star of the S&amp;P 500 over the past year, but its meteoric rise — up 440% in twelve months and 53% year-to-date through May 9 — is now confronting a valuation wall that even the hardest bulls <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/expert-ideas">are struggling to justify.</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Is Palantir Trading At Bubble-Like Valuations: How High Is Too High?</h3>
With shares closing at $115 on Friday and peaking at a record $125 this week, Palantir is now trading at 500 times trailing twelve-month earnings, an outlier among all companies in the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100. 
That's nearly triple the valuation of most AI-linked stocks and more than 14 times higher than tech heavyweights like Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>), which trade at price-to-earnings ratios of 37x and 32x, respectively.
While many would argue that Palantir is a bet on the future rather than the past, even when factoring in projected earnings, the valuation picture remains extreme.
Palantir trades 190 times forward earnings, raising red flags that the price has disconnected from even the most optimistic projections.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Bullish Case Still Has A Pulse</h3>
Despite this, investor enthusiasm remains sky-high. The company's ability to secure lucrative defense contracts and its reputation as an artificial intelligence leader has driven continued demand for the stock, even during broader market corrections.
Palantir notably held its ground during the April selloff triggered by the Donald Trump&#8216;s tariff escalation, never breaching its 200-day moving average.
Larry Tentarelli, Chief Technical Strategist at Blue Chip Daily Trend Report, said Palantir &#8220;remains our top-ranked technology sector stock,&#8221; citing its technical strength and AI leadership.
Tentarelli said the recent earnings quarter confirmed their view and suggested any consolidation in the $100–$110 range could offer a new buying opportunity. &#8220;We view this stock as a buy here or on pullbacks,&#8221; he said.
His firm maintains a long position and sees Palantir as dominant in its niche government and commercial AI applications.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Palantir&#8217;s Analyst Consensus: Caution Ahead</h3>
Out of 25 accredited analysts covering the stock, only one rates it a &#8216;Strong Buy&#8217; and just three rate it &#8216;Buy&#8217;. The overwhelming consensus is to &#8216;Hold&#8217;, with the median price target 18% below current levels.
Goldman Sachs&#8217; analyst Gabriela Borges, CFA maintained a &#8216;Neutral&#8217; rating this week and raised her 12-month price target to $90, still 22% below the current price.
&#8220;Our positive view of Palantir&#8217;s growth is balanced by longer-term ecosystem risks – the industry moving from peak custom to more off-the-shelf adoption – and the stock&#8217;s premium valuation,&#8221; Borges said.
She highlighted Palantir&#8217;s enterprise value-to-sales multiple at 81x, far exceeding the sector average of 12x, and its growth-adjusted EV/sales ratio (the so-called Rule of 40) at 0.97x, compared to just 0.28x for comparable software companies growing 20% or more.
While fundamentals are struggling to keep pace with price momentum, Palantir's rally shows no immediate signs of collapse. Still, unless earnings growth or profitability scales up dramatically, the company may be heading toward a painful reckoning. Read now:

The S&amp;P 500 jumped 1.3% to close at 5,700, led by gains in technology stocks. The Russell 2000 soared 2.1%, outperforming larger-cap counterparts and fully recovering the losses triggered by the April 2 tariff announcement.
Under the deal, the U.S. slashed tariffs on UK-made vehicles from 25% to 10%, granting British carmakers a 100,000-vehicle quota. In return, the UK reduced tariffs on American beef to near-zero levels and pledged to purchase $10 billion worth of Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) aircraft. Trump confirmed that the 10% tariff would remain the baseline for now, though he suggested other nations with large trade surpluses should expect higher rates.
During a press briefing, Trump hinted at the &#8220;biggest tax cuts in history&#8221; and urged investors to act: "You better go out and buy stock. This country will be like a rocket ship," he said.
The president also responded to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, who noted a day earlier he hadn't been invited to meet with Trump. "I could call him from a meeting, but it's like talking to a wall," Trump said. 
"He's always too late [in cutting interest rates]. But in this case, it's not going to matter that much because our country is so strong."
Markets reflected that strength. The U.S. dollar rallied sharply as the new trade deal and reduced economic uncertainty boosted confidence. The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) jumped to its highest level since April 11, climbing over 1% against the Japanese yen.
Treasury yields rose across the curve, with the 10-year yield adding 7 basis points to reach 4.34%.
In commodities, gold prices dropped as investors rotated out of safe havens. The SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>) fell 1.5%, trimming its weekly gains. Oil prices rose 3.5%, with West Texas Intermediate crude topping $60 per barrel.
Crypto markets erupted higher. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) broke above $100,000 for the first time since February, rising 4.1%. Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) surged 13%, while Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) gained 10%.
