They break down Palantir's blockbuster earnings, Alex Karp's bold comments to short sellers, and the stock's meteoric 134% year-to-date rise.

Today we look at the explosive reaction to the US July CPI release, which failed to confirm fears that Trump tariffs would feed into hotter headline inflation - but was this one-off algorithmic squeeze or something more durable?

Cava Group (CAVA) sold off more than 20% overnight but recovered some of those losses after posting a mixed earnings report. Diane King Hall talks about the two points capturing investor attention: revenue and weaker-than-expected guidance. However, Brinker (EAT) dished out stronger earnings, and investors rewarded the stock with a rally. In the A.I. space, Diane notes CoreWeave's (CRWV) "bleed" on its balance sheet being worse than expected. Investors seem to weigh margin pressure over CoreWeave's A.I. growth.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Steven Dickens previews CoreWeave (CRWV) earnings, boiling the company down to “access to GPUs” despite it branding itself as a native AI company. He questions whether that is actually a defensible moat for years to come. “There's not enough stickiness, there's not enough diversification.” He also notes that the speed of the refresh cycle in this industry – between 3-5 years – doesn't give CoreWeave or competitors much time to be on the cutting edge.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Een gevarieerde beursdag, zo kan je hem wel het best omschrijven. Het ging over een vette bek, medicatie, software en over olie. Om te beginnen met oliemaatschappij BP. Dat kwam met goede kwartaalcijfers, die beleggers totaal niet zagen aankomen. Nu alle grote olie- en gasreuzen met cijfers zijn gekomen, maken we de balans op. Wat is het beste aandeel dat je kan hebben? Is dat nu toch BP of moet je gaan voor Shell, ExxonMobil, Chevron, TotalEnergies of Saudi-Aramco?Die andere hoogvlieger is Pfizer. De farmaceut verrast niet alleen met de kwartaalcijfers, dat doet het óók met de outlook. Het verhoogt de winstverwachting. Ondanks de torenhoge importheffingen van Trump en zijn dreigement om de prijzen van farmaceuten aan te pakken.Die vette bek gaat over Yum Brands, de eigenaar van onder meer KFC en de Pizza Hut. Dat heeft het pijnlijk genoeg heel lastig op de thuismarkt. Al kwartalen op rij draaien ze in de VS slecht.Ook vertellen we je alles over Palantir. Dat aandeel deed het al waanzinnig goed, maar blijft maar stijgen. Reden zijn de goede cijfers. We onderzoeken waarom dit bedrijf (dat onder meer de FBI als klant heeft) zo'n beurslieveling is. Verder in deze aflevering: De Zwitsers vliegen naar Trump om te onderhandelen over de tarieven Trump ziet Scott Bessent afhaken: hij wil geen Fed-baas worden TSMC heeft een lek: er zijn bedrijfsgeheimen gestolen Aandeelhouders van NovoNordisk slepen bedrijf voor de rechter See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Microsoft is undergoing a significant restructuring, placing artificial intelligence (AI) at the forefront of its strategy. The company has announced the layoff of approximately 9,000 employees, primarily targeting generalist sales roles, as it shifts towards a model that prioritizes technical expertise over traditional relationship-building in sales. This move is part of a broader initiative to enhance its AI offerings, particularly through its Copilot program, which has seen a 50% increase in funding and a 70% rise in partner incentives. Microsoft aims to eliminate product silos and align its go-to-market strategy with customer priorities, emphasizing the importance of AI integration in sales and service delivery.OpenAI is also making waves by diversifying its cloud infrastructure, now utilizing Google Cloud alongside Microsoft, CoreWeave, and Oracle. This strategic shift comes as OpenAI prepares to introduce new features in its ChatGPT platform, including a checkout function for e-commerce, which will allow users to make purchases directly through the chatbot. The company is positioning itself to compete more directly with Microsoft's Office suite by enhancing productivity tools and integrating e-commerce capabilities, signaling a move from being a model provider to an end-user platform.Amazon Web Services (AWS) has launched a new platform called Amazon Bedrock Agent Core, designed to facilitate collaboration among AI agents across organizations. This platform aims to address concerns about job security in the face of AI advancements, as it allows for the construction of interconnected AI agents capable of performing various tasks. Unlike competitors, AWS's offering is designed to be flexible and support multiple AI frameworks, positioning it as a neutral infrastructure provider in the AI landscape.In a rapid-fire segment, several companies have announced new partnerships and product updates. iRACA has teamed up with TD Cynics to extend its secure access services, while cgen.ai has launched a platform to streamline AI workloads. Nutrien has improved its Document AI software, and Cohesity has integrated its data management platform with Microsoft 365 Copilot, enabling users to leverage backup data for informed decision-making. These developments highlight a trend towards enabling service providers to evolve from mere technical support to delivering measurable business outcomes.

Send us a textThe tech industry's shifting strategies and priorities take center stage in this episode as we examine several major developments reshaping the landscape. We dive into Ingram Micro's recent ransomware attack by the SafePay group, analyzing both the immediate impacts and potential long-term consequences of the four-day operational disruption. The incident raises important questions about security protocols, attack vectors, and the possibility of data exfiltration that could have lingering effects.Next, we explore CoreWeave's massive $9 billion acquisition of CoreScientific, representing a fascinating pivot from cryptocurrency mining infrastructure to AI computing resources. This transaction epitomizes the tech industry's current trajectory – moving away from speculative cryptocurrency ventures toward equally speculative but potentially more productive AI applications. We discuss the diminishing returns of crypto mining versus the still-unprofitable but product-focused world of AI, questioning where this astronomical investment might lead.The networking world sees significant realignment as Arista acquires VeloCloud from Broadcom, bolstering their WAN portfolio after VMware's SD-WAN solution changed hands multiple times in recent years. We compare potential integration approaches with Cisco's historical challenges integrating Viptela, speculating on how Arista might handle this transition while maintaining their commitment to a unified operating system.Perhaps most concerning is Microsoft's continued workforce reduction – cutting 4% of employees while pledging billions toward AI development. This "robbing Peter to pay Paul" approach appears throughout the tech industry as companies bet heavily on AI's future promise while sacrificing present human capital. We contrast these widespread layoffs with contradictory reports claiming robust tech hiring, questioning the true state of industry employment.Join us biweekly for future episodes as we transition to a fortnightly schedule focusing on quality over quantity. Share your thoughts about our schedule change or any topics discussed – we're especially interested in hearing from VeloCloud customers who've experienced the product's journey through multiple corporate owners.Purchase Chris and Tim's new book on AWS Cloud Networking: https://www.amazon.com/Certified-Advanced-Networking-Certification-certification/dp/1835080839/ Check out the Fortnightly Cloud Networking Newshttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1fkBWCGwXDUX9OfZ9_MvSVup8tJJzJeqrauaE6VPT2b0/Visit our website and subscribe: https://www.cables2clouds.com/Follow us on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/cables2clouds.comFollow us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@cables2clouds/Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cables2cloudsMerch Store: https://store.cables2clouds.com/Join the Discord Study group: https://artofneteng.com/iaatj
