Fiscal 2026 Outlook

The Company continues to assume capital expenditures between $35 million to $40 million.

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk has hailed the Cybertruck's build quality as the EV giant grapples with declining sales figures in multiple markets across the globe, which experts believe could have led to Musk&#8217;s longtime aide Omead Afshar&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46132042/teslas-q2-sales-going-to-s-says-gary-black-after-tsla-north-america-and-europe-chief-omead-afshars-exit">exit from the company</a>.
What Happened: Quoting a video by the Tesla Cybertruck's official handle on X on Thursday, the billionaire hailed the EV pickup truck's build.
"Built bullet tough," the billionaire said in the post. The video showcased an unscathed Cybertruck getting hit with things like a shopping cart, a baseball, as well as a sledgehammer.

Elon Musk Reacts To Video Of Cybertruck Withstanding Sledgehammer Blow: 'Built Bullet Tough'

The European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, has announced that the EU is open to a trade deal with the US. However, she emphasized that all options remain on the table.
What Happened: Von der Leyen stated that the EU is prepared for a trade agreement with the US, but is also considering other possibilities. She made this announcement after briefing EU leaders at a summit in Brussels, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/26/eu-leaders-to-direct-european-commission-on-response-to-us-tariffs">reported</a> The Guardian on Thursday. 
&#8220;Our message today is clear, we are ready for a deal,&#8221; stated the EU Chief. &#8220;&#8230;we will defend the European interest as needed. In short, all options remain on the table,&#8221; she added. 
Von der Leyen also proposed initiating a "redesign" of the World Trade Organization, citing concerns that trade wars and bilateral agreements are weakening the global trading system.
The European Commission, which represents the EU&#8217;s 27 member states in trade matters, is seeking guidance&nbsp;on how to approach the&nbsp;crucial negotiations with the US. President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;has threatened to impose a 50% tariff&nbsp;on all EU goods from&nbsp;July 9 if an agreement is not reached.
Despite the looming deadline, there are differences of opinion within the EU on how to best approach the U.S. talks. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz believes a swift and simple trade deal is preferable to a slow and complex one. However, French President Emmanuel Macron contends that agreeing to an imbalanced trade relationship would undermine Europe's long-term competitiveness.

Why It Matters: The EU&#8217;s readiness to negotiate comes in the wake of Trump&#8217;s decision <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45603240/trump-agrees-to-extend-50-tariffs-on-europe-until-july-9-it-was-my-privilege-to-do-so">to extend</a> the impending 50% tariff deadline from June 1 to July 9, 2025. Trump stated that von der Leyen assured him that negotiations would commence swiftly, and he expressed his willingness to grant the extension.
U.S. President Donald Trump has warned that starting July 9, all EU goods could face a 50% tariff unless a trade agreement is reached. Currently, most EU products are subject to a 10% tariff, while cars and car parts face 25%, and steel and aluminum are taxed at 50%.
Earlier in June, at the G7 summit, von der Leyen criticized China for its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/06/45990356/on-this-point-donald-is-right-says-eu-chief-as-she-slams-chinas-trade-practices-at-g7-urges-trump-to-join-forces">export restrictions</a> on vital raw materials used in the production of cars, batteries, and wind turbines. She accused China of &#8220;weaponizing&#8221; its dominant position in the production and refining of critical raw materials and flouting global trade regulations to undercut rivals.
These developments underscore the EU&#8217;s commitment to fair trade practices and its readiness to defend its economic interests. As the deadline for Trump&#8217;s tariffs nears, EU member states are debating their approach to the U.S. talks.

According to his LinkedIn profile, bar-Nathan commenced his role in June 2025, bringing <a target="_blank" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kobibarnathan/" rel="noreferrer noopener">extensive experience</a> from key finance leadership positions at Oracle Cloud and Microsoft Cloud.
His appointment comes at a pivotal time for Google Cloud, a significant growth engine for Alphabet. The cloud computing market remains intensely competitive, with major players like Amazon.com (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) Microsoft Azure vying for market share.

Benzinga reached out to Google&#8217;s investor relations team for comment on the update, and we&#8217;re currently awaiting their response.
Alphabet reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44995955/alphabet-q1-earnings-highlights-google-search-youtube-cloud-show-robust-momentum" rel="noreferrer noopener">first-quarter revenue</a> of $90.23 billion, up 12% year-over-year, topping the Street consensus estimate of $89.2 billion. Google Cloud revenue was $12.3 billion, up 28% Y/Y.
The company reported earnings per share of $2.81, beating a Street consensus estimate of $2.01.
In a significant development that underscores the growing demand for AI compute power, OpenAI has reportedly inked a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45868602/whats-going-on-with-alphabet-shares-today" rel="noreferrer noopener">cloud services deal</a> with Google, dumping Microsoft&nbsp;Azure, which had been its exclusive infrastructure provider until earlier this year.
Google&#8217;s cloud business accounted for $43 billion of Alphabet&#8217;s 2024 revenue and has been working to expand its share in the AI infrastructure space. Google aggressively focused on its in-house chip technology to attract enterprise clients, including&nbsp;Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>)&nbsp;and AI-focused startups like&nbsp;Anthropic.
While Google Cloud continues its impressive growth, the competitive landscape remains intense. Wedbush analyst Dan Ives highlighted <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46132007/amazon-google-not-far-behind-but-dan-ives-says-microsoft-clearly-leading-in-these-segments-600-price-target-is-probably-conservative" rel="noreferrer noopener">Microsoft Azure&#8217;s dominance</a> in both the broader cloud and hyperscaling sectors, noting its lead over rivals like Amazon Web Services and Google.
Ives also pointed out that only about 20% of Microsoft&#8217;s current business is focused on next-generation cloud and AI. He anticipates that as this segment expands to 50-60% of their business, it will fundamentally revalue the company.
Price Action: GOOGL stock is trading higher by 0.33% to $174.12 premarket at last check Friday.

Google Cloud Hires Former Oracle CFO As AI Race Heats Up

On Friday, SoftBank Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>) CEO Masayoshi Son said that he plans to position the company as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/03/44327422/softbank-to-build-676-million-ai-data-center-in-japan-linked-to-openai-partnership">leading platform provider</a> in the artificial super intelligence (ASI) sector within the next decade, aiming to rival major tech firms like Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google.
What Happened: Speaking at SoftBank&#8217;s annual shareholder meeting, Son spoke about his ambition to establish SoftBank as a dominant player in the ASI space, reported Reuters.&nbsp;
&#8220;We want to become the organizer of the industry in the artificial super intelligence era,&#8221; Son said.
He likened the opportunity in ASI to the positions held by Microsoft, Amazon and Google, where a &#8220;winner takes all&#8221; dynamic prevails.

In line with this vision, the Japanese investment holding firm has made aggressive investments, including acquiring U.S. semiconductor designer Ampere for $6.5 billion and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/04/44589685/softbank-weighs-165-billion-loan-that-could-back-openais-40-billion-raise-report">underwriting up to $40 billion</a> in new investments for ChatGPT-parent OpenAI, the report added.
SoftBank's total investment in OpenAI has reached $32 billion since 2024. &#8220;I&#8217;m all in on OpenAI,&#8221; Son said while acknowledging that he regretted not investing in the AI company earlier.
Why It&#8217;s Important: SoftBank has returned to investing, having already scored big with early bets like Alibaba Group Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) but also failures like WeWork, the report added.
The company sold its 5% stake in Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) in 2019, missing out on the AI boom that later made the Jensen Huang-led company a global <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/46117402/jensen-huang-closes-in-on-top-10-richest-list-with-nvidia-stock-at-new-highs-heres-how-much-he-needs">leader in AI chips</a>.

The company posted net sales of 1.94 trillion yen ($12.69 billion) for the quarter, an increase from 1.75 trillion yen in the same period last year. Sales from the SoftBank segment rose 10.2%, reaching 1.73 trillion yen ($11.33 billion).

Financial Times Reported Earlier, Unilever Pays $1.5B For Men's Grooming Brand Dr Squatch

Unilever PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UL#NYSE">UL</a>) is acquiring personal care brand Dr. Squatch for $1.5 billion. This is the company&#8217;s next big bet on male grooming products after the deal with Dollar Shave Club fell flat in 2023, resulting in its sale to Nexus Capital Management.
What Happened: The consumer goods giant announced on Monday its acquisition of Dr. Squatch from private equity firm Summit Partners, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/ac369fd5-308a-43a7-b86d-c41fde34156a">the</a> Financial Times reported. This move is part of Unilever&#8217;s strategy to shift its portfolio towards more upscale and higher-growth areas.
Dr. Squatch, a US-based brand, specializes in natural soap, deodorants, shampoos, and other toiletries marketed at men. The brand&#8217;s direct-to-consumer sales model, viral marketing campaigns, and celebrity endorsements have fueled its rapid growth.
Unilever&#8217;s personal care division head, Fabian Garcia, praised Dr. Squatch&#8217;s &#8220;clever digital engagement strategies&#8221; and expressed plans to expand the brand internationally.

Unilever&#8217;s previous attempt to break into the US razor market with the acquisition of Dollar Shave Club in 2016 proved disappointing. The company sold the business eventually after struggling to integrate it into the group.
Under the leadership of CEO Fernando Fernandez, Unilever is now focusing on rebalancing its portfolio away from low-growth food brands towards higher-margin personal care and wellbeing products. Earlier this year, Unilever acquired Wild, a premium, refillable cosmetics brand, and is reportedly seeking a buyer for healthy snack brand Graze.
Why It Matters: The acquisition of Dr. Squatch after Unilever&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/16/07/8236693/unilevers-acquisition-of-dollar-shave-club-offers-unique-consumer-and-data-insigh">failed attempt</a> to crack the US razor market suggests the company&#8217;s decision to shift its focus to the fast-growing men&#8217;s personal care segment.&nbsp;

Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) has restructured its cybersecurity leadership by transferring Chief Information Security Officer Igor Tsyganskiy from the traditional security organization to the Cloud, artificial intelligence division, signaling the tech giant&#8217;s strategic pivot toward AI-powered cybersecurity solutions.
What Happened: Tsyganskiy now reports directly to Executive Vice President Scott Guthrie, who oversees Microsoft&#8217;s Cloud + AI group, managing critical operations including Azure cloud services and partnerships with OpenAI and other artificial intelligence companies, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/microsoft-moves-ciso-out-of-security-group-closer-ai-2025-6">reported</a> Business Insider. Previously, the CISO reported to Charlie Bell, head of Microsoft&#8217;s Security group.
&#8220;As we continue to navigate increasingly complex global threats, the CISO team plays a critical role in safeguarding Microsoft, the Microsoft Cloud, and our customers,&#8221; Guthrie wrote in an internal memo obtained by Business Insider. &#8220;They are our first line of defense, and drive our services, products, platforms, and operations to be secure by design and secure by default.&#8221;
The organizational shift reflects Microsoft&#8217;s growing emphasis on AI-driven security capabilities as cyber threats evolve in complexity and scale. Company spokesman Frank Shaw stated the move positions Tsyganskiy&#8217;s team closer to the engineering systems they protect while strengthening integration with platform development.

Why It Matters: Recent security <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45905908/hackers-could-steal-data-from-microsoft-365-copilot-without-phishing-or-malware-says-ai-startup-echoleak-flaw-took-5-months-to-fix">incidents underscore the urgency</a> of Microsoft&#8217;s AI security focus. AI startup Aim Security discovered a critical flaw called &#8220;EchoLeak&#8221; in Microsoft 365 Copilot that could allow hackers to access sensitive data through simple email attacks without requiring phishing or malware. While Microsoft resolved the issue, it took five months to implement the fix.

Needham Maintains Buy on I-MAB, Raises Price Target to $5

TV host Jim Cramer has once again thrown his weight behind Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>), this time with a striking new valuation claim and a nod to the company's latest initiative tied to nuclear infrastructure.
What Happened: On Thursday, during the pre-market segment on CNBC&#8217;s Mad Money, Cramer made a bold bet on Palantir, calling it a &#8220;$200 stock masquerading as $144,&#8221; essentially predicting a 36% upside for the AI giant from its current levels.
Cramer pointed to Palantir's involvement in a so-called Nuclear Operating System (NOS), which he said aims to support on-time, on-budget nuclear construction projects. 
While the details around the system remain limited, Cramer suggested that the inclusion of the word &#8220;nuclear&#8221; alone may be enough to drive investor enthusiasm.

&#8220;It's got &#8216;nuclear&#8217; in the name, that's all that matters today,&#8221; he said, pointing to the market's appetite for headline-driven momentum in the burgeoning AI and energy sectors.
The renowned television host also mentioned Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) CEO Satya Nadella&#8217;s recent remarks on Palantir. Nadella reportedly met with the company&#8217;s leadership and praised it as being &#8220;really important now.&#8221;
Cramer also alluded to mounting interest in Washington around AI and defense technology, referencing comments made by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.). 
&#8220;I was listening to Senator Warr[e]n this morning,&#8221; he said, adding that while Warren didn't explicitly mention the company by name, Cramer emphasized the growing sense that firms like Palantir are becoming essential players in government tech procurement.
Why It Matters: Recently, at a Y Combinator event, Nadella <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/46109638/microsoft-ceo-satya-nadella-praises-palantirs-fde-model-as-fantastic-insiders-say-its-not-consulting-it-builds-the-product-customers-need">praised Palantir&#8217;s Forward Deployed Engineer</a> solution as &#8220;fantastic,&#8221; highlighting its change management model in helping customers and partners truly grasp the value in transformative AI technologies.
The company&#8217;s shares hit a new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/46098312/palantir-stock-hits-all-time-high-whats-going-on">all-time high this week</a>, after rallying 480% over the past 12 months, and 94.6% year-to-date. 
According to Wedbush analyst Dan Ives, the stock can triple from here over the next two to three years, reaching a market capitalization of $1 trillion, crediting CEO Alex Karp for its prospects.
&#8220;[Alex] Karp, he&#8217;s playing chess, others are playing checkers. And I think you are starting to realize more and more in government, enterprise, and that&#8217;s why you cannot talk AI revolution without saying Palantir,&#8221; Ives said.
Price Action: Shares of Palantir were up 2.39% on Thursday, trading at $146.31, and are down 0.69% after hours.

According to Benzinga&#8217;s Edge Stock Rankings, Palantir&#8217;s performance is truly off-the-charts, ranking 97th and 98th percentile on Growth and Momentum, respectively, with a favorable price trend in the short, medium and long terms.
