In a quarter that began with fears of a tech wreck following President Donald Trump&#8216;s sweeping tariff announcements, Wall Street&#8217;s tech darlings pushed sector benchmarks to one of their strongest quarterly gains on record, reigniting optimism for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech">a continued summer rally</a>.
The Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLK#NYSE">XLK</a>), which tracks the broader tech sector, soared 22% during the second quarter of 2025. 
That marked its best quarterly performance since the second quarter of 2020, when central banks pumped liquidity into the system to combat the COVID-19 crisis, and its second-best quarter since the aftermath of the dot-com collapse in 2002.
From the April lows—hit just after Trump&#8217;s tariff policies were unveiled—the XLK has rocketed 45%, registering its strongest 13-week rally since June 2020 and second-best since the ETF was launched in 1998.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">5 Stocks Drove Over Half Of XLK&#8217;s Historic Rally</h2>
Five stocks were responsible for about two thirds of the tech sector&#8217;s total return during the quarter.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) was the single most important contributor. Shares of the AI darling jumped 43.2%, contributing 537 basis points, or 5.37%, to XLK&#8217;s quarterly performance thanks to its 14.6% weight. </li>
<li>Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>) followed closely. With a 14.24% weighting, it added 420 basis points to the index through a 31.8% price gain.</li>

The rally coincides with the software company&#8217;s expansive role within the Trump administration (Palantir <a href="https://sam.gov/opp/f71acee6010c423db4902446a59a690c/view" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">received</a> a <a href="https://www.fpds.gov/ezsearch/fpdsportal?q=PIID:%2270CTD022FR0000170%22&amp;s=FPDS.GOV&amp;templateName=1.5.3&amp;indexName=awardfull&amp;x=0&amp;y=0&amp;sortBy=SIGNED_DATE&amp;desc=Y" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">$30 million</a> contract to develop a tracking platform to aid Immigration and Customs Enforcement).</li>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What To Expect For Tech Stocks In Q3? History Says: Watch July</h2>
While the third quarter is generally positive for tech, the gains tend to show up early. 
According to Seasonax data, looking at last 20 years the XLK has averaged a 2.7% gain from July 1 to October 1, with gains in 14 of those years.
However, recent third quarters haven't been kind. In 2022, the ETF fell 3.9%. In 2023, it dropped 4.5%. In 2024, it slid another 3.7%.
July, on the other hand, tells a different story. 
It's historically the strongest month for tech. XLK has averaged a 2.86% return in July over the past two decades, with gains in 76% of those years.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Golden Cross Signal May Support The Trend</h2>
On June 30, the XLK triggered a golden cross, a bullish technical setup where the 50-day moving average crosses above the 200-day average. It often signals the start of a longer-term uptrend.
A backtest of this strategy—buying on the golden cross and selling on the next death cross—shows solid historical performance since 2009. 
Only one of the nine trades posted a loss. Most produced double-digit returns, particularly during strong bull markets. The latest signal adds another reason to believe this rally could extend through the summer—at least for now.

Nvidia, Palantir Fuel Historic Tech Rally — And It's Far From Done

Artificial intelligence stocks are on a heater in 2025.&nbsp;
Take Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), which is up 17.5% year-to-date and up 45.5% over the past three months. Then there's AI intelligence powerhouse CoreWeave (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWV#NASDAQ">CRWV</a>), which is up a whopping 331% over the last 90 days alone. Or consider AI software developer Palantir (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>), whose stock price is up 72.9% year-to-date and has increased by 405% over the past year.
Those are robust companies that have built a brand name for themselves in the AI realm and are obvious picks for investors looking to capitalize on the AI freight train of 2025. That said, they&#8217;re not the only names investors should be tracking in the AI market, especially after their rapid rise, which may make some investors concerned that most of the upside is behind them.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How The Pros Are Trading Strength Into Q3 — Live Today</h2>
Most traders chase headlines. The pros focus on trends that last. Today, Tuesday at 6 PM ET, see how Tim Melvin, Ryan Faloona, and Anne-Marie Baiynd are using market strength, momentum signals, and long-term setups to stay ahead of the next big move. Their tactics are precise and built for this market. Register <a href="https://benzinga.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_OJ2FBspHSJSSVNlW8zGapw#/registration">HERE</a> now — limited seats available.
&#8220;This is the first inning of a nine-inning game for AI revolution, and the next generation of winners hasn't even been invented yet,&#8221; said Alan Haworth, senior financial advisor at Clare Market Investments. &#8220;The first round will be NVDA, MSFT, AMZN, GOOG, and a few other megacaps.&#8221;
For discerning investors, it's also a good idea to dig below the surface and uncover gems that aren't pure pay-play artificial intelligence stocks, but have ties to the AI sector.
 &#8220;2025 marks the start of stage two, where the operating and expansion layers are emerging as the real drivers of value,&#8221; said Shay Boloor, chief market strategist at Futurum Equities. &#8220;The explosive returns of phase one laid the tracks. But phase two is where we find compounding utility, and that's where the next decade of upside lives.&#8221;
Which companies indirectly tied to AI make the grade right now for technology investors at the mid-point of 2025? These stocks are getting a green light from market experts.
Astera Labs Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALAB#NASDAQ">ALAB</a>). This Santa Clara, California-based semiconductor company specializes in solving AI and cloud computing data and network bottleneck issues. ALAB stock is down 31% year-to-date, but it's making up ground quickly. Over the past 90 days, the firm's stock price has increased by 52.5%, mainly due to its partnership with AIChip Technologies, a high-profile Taiwan-based chipmaker. &#8220;AI data centers are scaling laterally,&#8221; Boloor said. &#8221; Astera Labs owns the high-speed interconnects (PCIe, CXL, Ethernet) that make cluster performance viable.&#8221;
Astera Labs Inc. has a consensus price target of $ 97.50 based on the ratings of 15 analysts, as noted by Benzinga Ratings.
Oklo, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OKLO#NYSE">OKLO</a>). Oklo is carving a clear path to profit in the nuclear industry, providing clean energy through the design and deployment of fast-fission power plants. The company's stock is up 160.2% year-to-date as demand grows, driven by states like New York exploring new nuclear power initiatives and AI companies requiring more power for their data centers. &#8220;AI demands energy 24/7,&#8221; Bollor noted. &#8220;Small modular nuclear is no longer a fringe idea &#8211; it's foundational.&#8221;
Oklo has a consensus price target of $58.14, according to Benzinga Ratings.
Vistra Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VST#NYSE">VST</a>). This Texas-based power generator is essentially an AI infrastructure play as its nuclear plants provide the 24/7, reliable power sources that AI data centers require.
 &#8220;VST is currently trading at 12x forward earnings and, while they haven&#8217;t signed a data center deal yet, they&#8217;re well-positioned to do so in the immediate future especially following their $1.9B acquisition of seven natural gas-fired power plants that are set to add 2,600 megawatts of capacity across five states,&#8221; said Liam Hunt, director of research at IncomeInsider.org.
Vistra has a 95.5 Momentum Rating, according to Benzinga Ratings.
Adobe (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>). At first glance, this digital marketing and media services company may not seem like an obvious choice as an AI-linked company. Yet a closer look reveals that Adobe is doing a solid job of immersing agentic AI into the creative marketplace. Adobe&#8217;s Brand Concierge program and its AI-fueled workflow products and services are helping Adobe gain a solid foothold in the AI market, primarily through close partnerships with major industry players.
&#8220;Goldman Sachs puts ADBE among what it calls the top &#8216;Phase 3&#8217; AI monetizers,&#8221; said Dan Buckley, chief analyst at DayTrading.com. &#8220;These are firms generating revenue through AI, not just as speculative future promises, that are currently undervalued.&#8221;
Adobe has a consensus price target of $511.77, according to Benzinga Ratings.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Takeaway On AI Insider Stock Plays</h2>
The message for Main Street investors is clear and direct: stop chasing the obvious AI names and focus on the &#8216;picks and shovels&#8217; plays.
&#8220;Identify companies that benefit from AI adoption and scaling without trading at AI valuations,&#8221; Hunt said. &#8220;Utilities with data center exposure offer growth potential that tracks the AI boom at a more reasonable price point. Additionally, energy infrastructure plays have a strong chance of outperforming the mega-cap tech stocks everyone&#8217;s watching.&#8221;
&#8220;In short, diversify across the AI value chain rather than betting everything on chip stocks,&#8221; he added.

Mike Galagher, Palantir&#8217;s defense lead, framed the initiative as essential to national security, enabling smarter decisions on the battlefield.
Ron Ash, CEO of Accenture Federal Services, called the partnership a transformational step for government agencies seeking faster, more informed decision-making. &#8220;This is a game changer for our federal customers,&#8221; he said, pointing to the value of embedding AI into everyday agency operations.

Palantir, Accenture Partner To Infuse AI Into Federal Agency Workflows

Palantir And Accenture Federal Launch Landmark Collaboration To Empower Government Agencies With AI-Enabled Decision-Making And Operational Resilience

Canada rescinded its Digital Services Tax (DST) on Monday to support complex trade negotiations with the United States, reversing a policy that had triggered market volatility and threatened bilateral relations.
What Happened: Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne announced the decision following Prime Minister Mark Carney&#8216;s agreement with President Donald Trump to resume negotiations toward a comprehensive deal by July 21. 
The move halts the scheduled June 30 collection and will require new legislation to formally repeal the Digital Services Tax Act.
The DST, announced in 2020, targeted large technology companies generating revenue from Canadian users who might otherwise avoid taxation. 
Trump had halted trade talks on Friday after Canada announced the digital tax, calling it &#8220;a direct and blatant attack&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46150909/trump-canada-tariffs-dollar-deal">on American technology companies</a>. His Truth Social post triggered sharp market reversals, with the S&amp;P 500 tumbling 52 points from record highs. Major tech stocks including Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>), Enphase Energy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENPH#NASDAQ">ENPH</a>) and Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) declined 7.1%, 6.9%, and 4.5% respectively.

Why It Matters: Currency markets reflected the tension as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46150909/trump-canada-tariffs-dollar-deal">Canadian dollar weakened</a> from 1.3670 to 1.3750 against the U.S. dollar. The iShares MSCI Canada Index Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWC#NYSE">EWC</a>) fell nearly 1% to $45.39.
&#8220;Canada&#8217;s new government will always be guided by the overall contribution of any possible agreement to the best interests of Canadian workers and businesses,&#8221; Carney stated. The Prime Minister emphasized that rescinding the digital tax supports negotiations toward their agreed timeline.
Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45992119/trump-cuts-g7-visit-short-calls-canada-deal-achievable">had previously declared the deal</a> &#8220;achievable&#8221; during G7 meetings, despite philosophical differences on tariff approaches.

Canada Rescinds Digital Services Tax After Trump Calls It A 'Blatant Attack' On America

In a bold move that defies traditional investment advice, an everyday investor named Etienne Breton has built a $2 million portfolio by investing exclusively in software firm&nbsp;Palantir&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>).
What Happened: Breton began buying Palantir shares shortly after the company&#8217;s public debut in late 2020. Despite the stock&#8217;s initial struggles, he persisted in expanding his position. His investment in Palantir now stands at nearly $2.5 million, comprising 17,800 shares and an additional 2,000 on margin.
Palantir, which has experienced an 80% surge in 2025, is the only stock in Breton&#8217;s portfolio. &#8220;I tried to identify very extraordinary companies. I didn&#8217;t want to diversify,&#8221; he <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/palantir-millionaire-single-stock-bet-investing-options-strategy-retail-trader-2025-6">told</a> Insider. His strategy proved successful, especially after the launch of Palantir&#8217;s Artificial Intelligence Platform in 2023.
Breton also employed various&nbsp;options strategies to generate income&nbsp;on his underlying shares and&nbsp;continue purchasing Palantir. 
He sold covered calls,&nbsp;borrowed money to buy more&nbsp;shares, and&nbsp;sold call options on them, creating a steady income stream. He continues to gradually add to his Palantir position using&nbsp;the premiums he receives on&nbsp;his covered calls.

Despite the risk of having a significant portion&nbsp;of his net worth tied&nbsp;up in Palantir, Breton is&nbsp;also buying Long-Term Equity Anticipation&nbsp;Securities (LEAPs), which allow him to earn&nbsp;income on his underlying shares&nbsp;while still benefiting from potential upside.
&#8220;I&#8217;m now planning my retirement,&nbsp;which is approaching much sooner&nbsp;than I ever expected,&#8221; Breton&nbsp;added, indicating that he might explore some business projects in the future.
Why It Matters: Breton&#8217;s success story underscores the potential rewards of a focused investment strategy, albeit with high risks. 
His experience with Palantir also highlights the company&#8217;s strong performance, which has been bolstered by the launch of its AI platform. 
However, his strategy of tying up a large portion of his net worth in a single stock is not typically recommended due to the associated risks.

Palantir's FDE Model Gets Praise, Softbank's Ambition, And Musk's Nadella Endorsement: This Week In AI

Benzinga examined the prospects for <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">many investors' favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here's a look at some of our top stories.
Wall Street surged this week as easing geopolitics and a potential pause in U.S.-China tariffs lifted sentiment. The S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq hit record highs, boosted significantly by Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), whose stock jumped by about 10% to record its highest valuation — $3.8 trillion — overtaking Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) as the world's most valuable company
The tech rally reflected strong earnings from Nvidia's AI-centric chip business and supplier Micron (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>), while broader market gains were bolstered by renewed risk appetite in equities.
Next week, investors will track the June jobs report, rhetoric on tariffs — including the July 8 "Liberation Day" deadline — and upcoming July 4 tax‑and‑spending legislative actions that could influence rates and yields.
Benzinga provides daily reports on the stocks most popular with investors. Here are a few of this past week's most bullish and bearish posts that are worth another look.

Benzinga Bulls And Bears: Nvidia, Micron, HIMS — And Markets Soar On Mideast And Tariff Relief

Jim Cramer&nbsp;expressed concerns on Monday about&nbsp;Palantir Technologies Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) experiencing a significant stock decline, questioning if it was a result of the Russell index rebalance.
What Happened: Palantir's stock price plunged by over 10% on Friday, amid easing tensions in the Middle East and a possible pullback after a recent bull run in the stock.
Despite this drop, Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings show Palantir's shares rank in the 98th and 97% percentiles on Momentum and Growth, respectively. Click&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>&nbsp;for deeper insights into the stock.

CNBC's "Mad Money" host Cramer wondered if the fall in Palantir stock could be due to a rebalance by FTSE Russell in its U.S. indices.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

Cramer&#8217;s post comes after he recently praised Palantir, suggesting it has the potential to be valued at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46134364/palantir-is-a-200-stock-masquerading-as-144-says-jim-cramer-highlights-new-nuclear-operating-system-microsoft-endorsement">$200 per share</a>, despite its current trading levels.
During his analysis, Cramer also highlighted Palantir&#8217;s new nuclear operating system and endorsement from&nbsp;Microsoft Corp.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>).

Why It Matters: The stock market often reacts to index rebalances, which can cause volatility.

Despite the recent drop, the stock remains up approximately 93% year-to-date.
Moreover, Palantir&#8217;s innovative approach, particularly its Forward Deployed Engineer model, has <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">received praise</a> from industry leaders like&nbsp;Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft. Nadella described the model as &#8220;fantastic,&#8221; emphasizing its unique role in product development rather than traditional consulting.
Price Action:&nbsp;Shares of Palantir closed 10.64% lower on Friday, but rose 2.85% in 0.69% after hours.

Palantir Stock Price Falls Over 10%: Jim Cramer Wonders If It Was A Casualty Of Russell Rebalance Days After Calling It A $200 Stock

Shares of Palantir are trading lower. The stock may be down following investor concerns about the company's valuation, as well as profit-taking from traders.

Wall Street flipped sharply Friday afternoon after President Donald Trump stunned markets by halting all trade negotiations with Canada, a reversal that chilled earlier optimism and sent investors <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/06/46146713/trump-dollar-outlook-tariffs-debt">fleeing from risk assets.</a>
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said Canada "has just announced that they are putting a Digital Services Tax on our American Technology Companies," calling it "a direct and blatant attack on our Country." 
The president declared an immediate end to trade discussions, adding, "We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying to do business with the United States of America within the next seven-day period."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Markets Reverse Course On Shock Announcement</h2>
The shift in tone came as a shock to Wall Street, which had rallied earlier in the day on hopes that multiple trade deals were advancing.
The S&amp;P 500, which hit a record intraday high of 6,187, dropped sharply to 6,135 between 12:30 p.m. and 2:40 p.m. ET, wiping out gains.
Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>), Enphase Energy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENPH#NASDAQ">ENPH</a>) and Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) were the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s worst performers, down 7.1%, 6.9% and 4.5% respectively.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell from 43,977 to 43,589, a 0.8% intraday swing, while the Nasdaq 100 declined from 22,600 to 22,400 as tech shares gave back momentum.
Earlier on Friday, markets had rallied after Trump said four to five trade agreements were in progress, and after U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutwick confirmed a finalized deal with China involving reduced tariffs and safeguards for rare earths.
Currency markets reacted swiftly to the new tension. The euro-dollar exchange rate reversed sharply, falling below the 1.17 mark and turning negative for the day. The U.S. Dollar Index climbed to 97.50, on track to close higher after hitting the lowest levels since early 2022.
The Canadian dollar sharply weakened, with the USD/CAD exchange rate surging from 1.3670 to 1.3750 amid concerns that the trade fallout could hurt economic growth.
Meanwhile, the iShares MSCI Canada Index Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWC#NYSE">EWC</a>) slipped nearly 1%, falling from $45.78 to $45.39.

Trump Flips On Canada Trade Deal, Sending Shivers Through Wall Street

Palantir shares are trading lower. The stock may be pulling back following recent strength and as Iran concerns potentially ease.

Time Magazine&#8217;s annual 100 Most Influential Companies list for 2025 includes many companies investors are familiar with, with numerous names originating from the growing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">artificial intelligence sector.</a>
The <a href="https://time.com/7297630/time-reveals-the-2025-time100-most-influential-companies-in-the-world/">list</a> seeks to honor the top businesses that are helping "chart an essential path forward."

Why It's Important: Nearly half of this year's list includes companies that are publicly traded or part of publicly traded companies. This means investors can get exposure to what Time considers some of the most influential companies in the world.
Some of the companies are newer to the public market, which could mean that the 50+ companies that are not yet public could be among IPOs to watch for in the second half of 2025 and beyond.
Some of the most recognizable private companies on this year's list include OpenAI, Polymarket, Anthropic, Anduril, Beast Industries and SpaceX.
When seeking companies that can drive revenue growth and gain customer and consumer adoption, the most influential lists can be a valuable starting point for investors.

44 Public Companies Make Time's Most Influential List: Coinbase, UFC, Nintendo, Netflix And More Stocks Investors Can Buy

Palantir Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) saw its shares surge to new all-time highs this week, fueled by strong AI positioning and geopolitical factors. Here&#8217;s what investors <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PLTR/news">need to know</a> as the stock pulls back Friday.
What To Know: The stock is up approximately 85% year-to-date, building on a 500% rise over the past year. Momentum is linked to its expanding role in government and defense, including a $795 million U.S. Army contract for its Maven Smart System and a strategic agreement with the Israeli Defense Ministry.
Analysts remain bullish, with Loop Capital raising its price target to $155. Wedbush&#8217;s Dan Ives predicts a potential surge to a $1 trillion market cap within three years, citing CEO Alex Karp&#8217;s strategic initiative. 
Palantir&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/46098312/palantir-stock-hits-all-time-high-whats-going-on">first-quarter results</a> bolstered this optimism, with U.S. Commercial revenue growing 71% and U.S. Government revenue climbing 45%. The company also issued strong second-quarter revenue guidance, citing "surging and ferocious growth."
Furthering its strategic expansion, Palantir announced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46114101/palantir-just-teamed-up-to-reinvent-nuclear-power-heres-whats-at-stake">partnership</a> with The Nuclear Company on Thursday. The collaboration will develop the first AI-driven software, the Nuclear Operating System, aimed at modernizing nuclear construction. 
This move aligns with recent executive orders to expand U.S. nuclear capacity, positioning Palantir to capitalize on domestic energy and infrastructure initiatives.
Price Action: According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, PLTR shares are trading lower by 4.32% to $138.07 Friday morning. The stock has a 52-week high of $148.22 and a 52-week low of $21.23.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy PLTR Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Palantir Technologies&#8217; case, it is in the Information Technology sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.

Palantir (PLTR) Stock Pulls Back From All-Time High: What's Going On?

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.

Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) announced a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/b46111746/palantir-and-the-nuclear-company-partner-to-launch-platform-to-rapidly-scale-nuclear-deployment" rel="noreferrer noopener">strategic product partnership</a> with The Nuclear Company on Thursday to develop AI software for nuclear construction.
The Nuclear Company is leading the gigawatt-scale deployment of nuclear power across America and pioneering the modernization of nuclear construction.
The companies will co-develop and deploy the Nuclear Operating System (NOS), the first AI-driven, real-time software system built exclusively for nuclear construction.

NOS will transform the construction of nuclear reactors into a data-driven, predictable process, enabling The Nuclear Company to build plants faster and safer for less.
To be built on Palantir&#8217;s Foundry platform, NOS will simplify the construction process for The Nuclear Company.
The partnership comes as China continues to outpace the United States in new nuclear capacity, announcing 10 GW of reactors annually, while America has built just 2 GW in the last three decades.
In late May, President Donald Trump issued executive orders calling for 400 GW of nuclear reactors by 2050 to ensure America has the baseload power required to lead the world in AI. The orders also call for 10 large-scale reactors to be under construction by 2030.
According to a May report, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/contracts/25/05/45702431/palantir-stock-gains-as-trump-expands-companys-role-in-us-government-agencies" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the Trump administration has</a> expanded Palantir&#8217;s work across the federal government. Palantir explored selling its technology to the Social Security Administration and the IRS.
Since Trump took charge, Palantir has secured more than $113 million in contracts (new and additional funds from existing). This does not include the $795 million DoD contract.
Price Action:&nbsp;PLTR stock is up 1.33% at $144.80 premarket at last check Thursday.

Palantir Just Teamed Up To Reinvent Nuclear Power: Here's What's At Stake

Palantir's Strategic Partnership With The Nuclear Company To Accelerate Nuclear Power Deployment With AI-Powered Operating System

President Donald Trump&#8216;s fiscal 2026 defense budget request signals a strategic pivot toward advanced missile systems and unmanned warfare capabilities while scaling back traditional fighter jet procurement, potentially reshaping revenue streams for major defense contractors.
What Happened: The $892.6 billion defense and national security budget, flat compared to fiscal 2025, cuts F-35 Lightning II orders to 47 units from the 68 requested in former President Joe Biden&#8216;s final budget proposal, Reuters reported, citing budget materials released on Wednesday by the White House.
Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>), the F-35&#8217;s sole manufacturer, faces reduced near-term revenue from the program despite House appropriators proposing to increase the buy to 69 aircraft.
The budget emphasizes procurement of long-range precision munitions, including the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile Extended Range and Long Range Anti-Ship Missile, both manufactured by Lockheed Martin. These weapons systems align with Pentagon priorities for Indo-Pacific operations designed to counter Chinese military expansion.
Naval shipbuilding also faces constraints, with only three warships included in the base budget request. General Dynamics Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GD#NYSE">GD</a>) and Huntington Ingalls Industries Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HII#NYSE">HII</a>), primary builders of Virginia-class submarines and surface vessels, will see reduced procurement volumes as the Navy eliminates 7,286 civilian positions to control costs.

Why It Matters: The budget allocates increased funding for small drone systems, reflecting lessons learned from the Ukraine conflict, where unmanned aerial vehicles proved cost-effective force multipliers. This shift <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/space/25/06/46090791/us-tests-radar-that-could-help-trumps-golden-dome-detect-missiles-over-1200-miles-report">benefits emerging defense technology</a> companies competing for Pentagon contracts alongside traditional prime contractors.
Trump&#8217;s Golden Dome missile defense initiative, estimated to cost over $175 billion, receives initial funding through a separate $150 billion defense package. The program has attracted interest from non-traditional defense players, including SpaceX, Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>), and artificial intelligence <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/space/25/06/46090791/us-tests-radar-that-could-help-trumps-golden-dome-detect-missiles-over-1200-miles-report">companies seeking to disrupt</a> the established contractor base.
The budget includes a 3.8% military pay raise while retiring aging platforms to reduce operational costs, according to the report.
