Deepwater&#8217;s Gene Munster, a prominent tech analyst, has shared his insights on Apple Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) upcoming Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) and the company&#8217;s future in artificial intelligence (AI).
What Happened: In a post on X on Tuesday, Munster suggested that the WWDC would focus on traditional operating system updates, leaving investors questioning Apple&#8217;s timeline for losing customers. He estimated that Apple has about two years to get its AI strategy right, but it will require increased investments.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">WWDC Preview: Should be heavy on old school OS updates.

My take is at least two years.<a href="https://t.co/lL4tpHWof6">https://t.co/lL4tpHWof6</a>
&mdash; Gene Munster (@munster_gene) <a href="https://twitter.com/munster_gene/status/1929934261865390290?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 3, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
In a detailed report, Munster emphasized that Apple&#8217;s customer base, which is highly loyal due to the seamless integration of Apple products and services, gives the company a significant advantage. He pointed out that an average Apple customer owns 1.7 devices and uses 1.5 services.
Munster also pointed out that the current competition in AI devices is lagging behind, with no &#8220;must-have&#8221; features compelling Apple users to switch. He concluded by noting that the much-anticipated AI-first device from the Jony Ive–Sam Altman collaboration is expected to be unveiled next year and released in 2026.
However, he highlighted the importance of increased investment in AI as Apple is lagging in this area. Since 2021, Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Google (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>), Meta (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) have ramped up capital expenditures by about 30% annually to support AI growth, with average spending rising from $30 billion in 2021 to an estimated $77 billion by 2025. In contrast, Apple's capex has remained flat at around $11 billion, even slightly declining by 1%.
Munster believes investing more is the right strategy to ensure long-term control over features and privacy, which requires owning a top-tier AI model.

Why It Matters:&nbsp;Munster&#8217;s predictions come at a crucial time for Apple, which has been facing criticism over its AI efforts. In March, ahead of Apple&#8217;s annual Top 100 executive retreat, Munster had&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/03/44350512/apples-ai-crisis-reaches-boiling-point-ahead-of-top-100-executive-retreat-tim-cook-and-key-execs-called-out-over-siri-failure-by-top-analyst">called out the company&#8217;s stalled AI efforts</a>. The retreat was seen as an opportunity for Apple to address these concerns.
However, in April, it was reported that Apple had&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/45029758/apples-ai-team-undergoes-major-restructuring-amidst-performance-concerns">undergone a major restructuring of its AI team</a>&nbsp;due to performance concerns. This move, which involved shifting elements to different departments within the organization, indicated that Apple was taking the criticism seriously and working to improve its AI capabilities.
Despite the challenges, Munster&#8217;s recent comments suggest that Apple still has a window of opportunity to strengthen its position in the AI market, provided it makes the right investments and improvements.

Apple Has 'At Least Two Years' Before Losing Customers Despite Its Several AI Missteps, Says Gene Munster — Here's Why

President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that he likes &#8220;President XI of China, always have, and always will, but he is very tough, and extremely hard to make a deal with!&#8221; The statement comes as U.S.-China trade negotiations remain stalled despite a temporary truce reached in May.
What Happened: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent described current trade discussions as &#8220;a bit stalled,&#8221; indicating that achieving a final agreement might require direct input from both Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. 
<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="288" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/04043044/image-45-1024x288.png" alt="" class="wp-image-937816" style="width:657px;height:auto" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/04043044/image-45-1024x288.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/04043044/image-45-300x84.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/04043044/image-45-768x216.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/04043044/image-45.png 1194w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>

This marks the lowest level since September 2022, as tariff impacts continue weighing on the industry. New orders fell at the fastest rate in over two and a half years, according to Caixin Media Co. and S&amp;P Global data.

Wall Street has coined the &#8220;TACO&#8221; trade &#8211; &#8220;Trump Always Chickens Out&#8221; &#8211; where investors buy stocks after Trump&#8217;s tariff threats, expecting him to backtrack.

Trump Says He Likes Xi Jinping Of China But Calls Him 'Very Tough' And 'Extremely Hard To Make A Deal With'

Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase Global Inc. overtook several Wall Street behemoths in a stunning rally last month, driven by its historic inclusion in the S&amp;P 500 and renewed cryptocurrency optimism.
What happened: The Nasdaq-listed company soared nearly 30% in the last month, marking a sharp reversal from its meltdown in April. The firm's stock was up 70% since its yearly low of $151.47.
In doing so, COIN outgained some of the biggest technology companies on the planet. As evident, its returns over the last month beat Amazon, Google's parent company Alphabet, electric vehicle juggernaut Tesla and all the other stocks in the high-performing "Magnificent 7" cohort.

Dollar Tree, CrowdStrike And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Wednesday

Billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman is advocating for Fannie Mae (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FNMA#OTC">FNMA</a>) and Freddie Mac (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FMCC#OTC">FMCC</a>) to exit federal conservatorship, a status they've held since the 2008 financial crisis, arguing it would benefit the U.S. housing finance system.
What Happened: In a detailed post on X, Ackman, whose Pershing Square has been the largest common stockholder of both companies for 13 years, specifically calls for the cancellation of the $348.2 billion Senior Preferred Stock (SPS) liability on the companies' balance sheets, labeling it a "fictitious" figure that distorts economic reality.
A federal conservatorship refers to a legal process where a government agency takes control of a private entity, typically a financial institution, to stabilize it, protect its stakeholders, and ensure it can continue to operate during a crisis. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have been in conservatorship since 2008.
&#8220;We believe that F2&#8217;s exit from conservatorship will enable the GSEs (Government-Sponsored Enterprises) to operate more successfully and efficiently, with more stable management and at lower cost, greatly benefiting our housing finance system,&#8221; he said.
Meanwhile, an SPS liability mandates a company to prioritize payments to the senior preferred stockholder, the U.S. Treasury, in this case, over other stakeholders.
Ackman claims the government has been overpaid, stating, "F2 repaid $301 billion of the original $191 billion invested by the government," generating an 11.6% return for taxpayers.
According to him, the SPS balance, inflated by the Obama-era 2012 Net Worth Sweep, which siphoned all profits to the Treasury, preventing the companies from achieving their full market value.
"The government has been paid more than it was contractually owed under the extremely onerous terms of the SPS," Ackman asserts, emphasizing that canceling this liability isn't a gift to shareholders but a necessary correction.

Why It Matters: The move would also benefit taxpayers, highlights Ackman, as the government holds a 79.9% stake in Fannie and Freddie via warrants, ensuring significant returns on any value increase post-conservatorship.
Ackman warns, "No private sector investor will invest in F2 if the government can unilaterally revise the terms of F2's liabilities at will," underscoring the need for trust in the market.

Thor Industries Gears Up For Q3 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

As the U.S. Dollar Index tumbles nearly 8.5% in 2025, it&#8217;s on track for the worst performance in over 30 years. This could have &#8220;profound implications&#8221; across asset classes and global markets, says analyst.
What Happened: The X post shared by Otavio Costa, the macro strategist at Crescat Capital, highlights the yearly performance of the Dollar Index over the last 30 years.
The graph depicts its 2025 performance with a red line, which shows the steepest fall in the first half of any year since 1996.
While the index hit its all-time low of 70.698 on March 17, 2008, the graph shows that its worst year-to-date decline stood at 14.68%.
&#8220;This likely marks the beginning of a long-term downward trend for the dollar, with far-reaching implications across global markets in my view,&#8221; said Costa in his post.
He also highlighted that this year&#8217;s dollar decline has led the resource stocks, emerging and other developed markets, and foreign currencies higher.
&#8220;Gold led the way, and we're now seeing the ripple effects play out across other asset classes, in my opinion,&#8221; he added.

Why It Matters: Chatham House expert David Lubin, in a note from April, pointed to a "view of some within the Trump administration that the reserve currency status of the dollar is more of a burden to the U.S. economy than a blessing."
He explained that this "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44858165/policy-push-vs-market-pull-dollar-under-pressure-as-reserve-currency-may-be-called-into-question-amid-tariff-turmoil">policy push</a>" from Donald Trump&#8216;s administration aims to weaken the dollar permanently against other currencies, hoping to reduce the trade deficit and attract manufacturers to the U.S.
However, Lubin strongly cautioned against this approach, arguing that "if the international monetary system cannot rely on the dollar&#8217;s full convertibility, or its availability in a crisis, it is entering unknown territory.
Undermining the dollar&#8217;s global status would not only transmit huge amounts of additional uncertainty to the global economy, but would be a needless act of self-harm for the U.S."
Price Action: The Dollar Index was up 0.06% at the 99.28 level as of the publication of this article, which was 8.49% lower on a year-to-date basis.
The Gold Spot US Dollar Index, on the other hand, rose 0.11% to $3,356.65 per ounce, close to its previous life-high of $3,500.33.
Price Action: The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, rose on Tuesday.

US Dollar On Track For Its Worst 30-Year Performance Under Trump In 2025: Analyst Warns Of 'Far-Reaching' Implications

Morgan Stanley auto analyst Adam Jonas says Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) could one day steer its engineers toward electric flying cars, arguing CEO Elon Musk may be tempted to solve the big remaining obstacles to commercial air taxis, or electric vertical take-off and landing craft (eVTOLs).
What Happened: In a recent research note, first <a href="https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-stock-morgan-stanley-evtol-calling-elon-musk-for-new-chapter/">reported</a> by Teslarati, Jonas highlighted Musk's recent response to a question about building an electric plane, to which the Tesla CEO said the company is "stretched pretty thin."
Jones called it "a decidedly different type of answer" to the actual question, but asked, "Is Tesla an aviation/defense-tech company in auto/consumer clothing?"
Jonas, in a separate note shared last month <a href="https://www.barchart.com/story/news/32542831/morgan-stanley-says-china-may-have-already-won-the-ev-war-heres-where-analysts-say-tesla-can-win">covered</a> by Barchart, argues that aviation could diversify Tesla as Chinese carmakers close the gap in electric vehicles. He warned that "China may have already won the EV battle," a shift he says explains why Tesla is "going all-in on autonomy."

Why It Matters: The analyst's optimism contrasts with the industry's slow progress. Archer Aviation's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACHR#NYSE">ACHR</a>) Midnight prototype completed its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/05/45388144/archer-aviations-defense-push-piloted-flight-to-boost-stock-analysts">first piloted flight</a> in Abu Dhabi last week, yet regulators have not cleared any firm for passenger service. According to Reuters, German rivals Lilium and Volocopter, once poster children for the sector, are fighting cash shortfalls and slumping investment.
Washington sees strategic stakes, too. "eVOTLs [sic] are going to fundamentally transform how the public travels. Let's make sure the U.S. leads the way," Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy posted Monday.

Tesla, for its part, has never committed to an aircraft program, though Musk once mused that a next-generation Roadster "will be able to fly."

Tesla's DNA Of Tackling Thorny Engineering Makes Flying Cars The Next Logical Moonshot: Morgan Stanley Analyst Doesn't Buy Musk's 'Stretched Thin' Argument Entirely

The White House has dismissed the criticism of the budget bill by&nbsp;Elon Musk, asserting that the bill does not contribute to the deficit.
What Happened:&nbsp;White House press secretary&nbsp;Karoline Leavitt&nbsp;responded to Musk&#8217;s criticism during a Tuesday briefing. She affirmed that the President&#8217;s opinion remains firm despite Musk&#8217;s views, characterizing the bill as &#8220;one big, beautiful bill.&#8221;
"It doesn't change the President's opinion. This is one big, beautiful bill, and he's sticking to it," stated Leavitt.

</figure>
Leavitt further emphasized the administration&#8217;s belief that it is &#8220;blatantly wrong&#8221; to suggest that the bill adds to the deficit. This was in response to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office&#8217;s report, which suggested that the budget package could inflate the deficit by $3.8 trillion over the forthcoming decade. Leavitt accused the office of harboring a bias against Republicans.
House Speaker&nbsp;Mike Johnson&nbsp;also stood by the bill, asserting that Musk was &#8220;terribly wrong&#8221; about it. Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, promised that Congress would integrate some of DOGE&#8217;s proposed government-spending cuts into a rescissions package.

Musk ended his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45764329/130-days-of-elon-musk-elizabeth-warren-releases-blistering-report-accusing-tesla-ceo-of-more-than-100-power-abuses">130-day tenure</a> as DOGE leader a week ago.
Notably, the Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/trump-seeks-congresss-approval-for-package-of-doge-cuts-09459efc">reported</a> that the White House has submitted a $9.4 billion rescissions package to Congress, seeking lawmakers&#8217; nod to reverse previously approved spending. The proposal includes $8.3 billion in foreign aid cuts and $1.1 billion from public media, needing only a simple majority to pass in the GOP-led Congress. Additionally, the administration is weighing the use of impoundment to reclaim funds without congressional approval, a move that could trigger a legal fight.

White House Says Trump Is 'Sticking To' The 'Big, Beautiful Bill' Despite Elon Musk's Sharp Criticism: 'It Doesn't Change The President's Opinion'

On Tuesday, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) blasted an AI provision in President Donald Trump's sweeping <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/05/45345409/trumps-big-beautiful-bill-banks-on-huge-medicaid-cuts-as-its-cost-saving-centerpiece-see-who-risks-losing-coverage-under-the-gop-proposal">tax-and-spending bill</a>, warning it could fuel rising rents and violate Senate procedural rules.
What Happened: Warren took to X, formerly Twitter, to criticize a section in the "One Big Beautiful Bill" that would bar states from regulating artificial intelligence for 10 years.
She argued the measure would shield companies like RealPage, a real estate tech firm, which she accused of using AI to help landlords coordinate rent increases.
"In the middle of a housing crisis, Republicans are sneaking lines into their big beautiful bill that could actually raise your rent," Warren said. "This policy violates the Senate's budget rules."

RealPage's pricing software has been scrutinized for allegedly facilitating algorithmic rent-setting, which critics argue can act as a form of price-fixing.
Warren says that states and cities were starting to rein in such practices—until Republicans included a provision that would strip states of that power.
Her opposition adds pressure on Senate Democrats to challenge the provision before the bill reaches final approval. She urged Americans to contact their senators and demand the provision be removed, stating, "God knows your rent is high enough already."

Elizabeth Warren Warns AI Provision In Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' Could Enable Rent Hikes: 'This Policy Violates The Senate's Budget Rules'

Elon Musk&nbsp;has been accused of exploiting his role in the Trump administration to further his personal and business interests, according to a report released on Tuesday by the office of Sen.&nbsp;Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass).
What Happened: Titled &#8220;130 Days of Elon Musk,&#8221; the report scrutinizes Musk&#8217;s actions during his time as a &#8220;special government employee&#8221; under President Donald Trump. It alleges that Musk and his associates were involved in numerous questionable activities, raising concerns about corruption, ethics, and conflicts of interest.
The 14-page report lists over 100 instances where Musk is believed to have misused his position&nbsp;to gain favors for his private interests.&nbsp;The report accuses Musk of disregarding norms at an alarming rate and engaging in scandalous behavior, regardless of potential criminal prosecution.
Tesla did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment. 
Warren&#8217;s team also accuses Musk of leveraging&nbsp;the federal government to promote&nbsp;his businesses, including Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), SpaceX and xAI. The report highlights the transformation of the White House lawn into a temporary Tesla showroom and the exploration of new lucrative contracts by the Trump administration and government agencies with Musk&#8217;s companies.
It also highlights six instances in which the Trump administration or federal agencies either halted enforcement actions against Musk&#8217;s companies or when the Department of Government Ethics (DOGE) intervened with agencies investigating those companies.
&#8220;Musk's&nbsp;companies have received or are&nbsp;being considered for large contracts&nbsp;with the federal government, with&nbsp;foreign governments, and with other&nbsp;private sector companies,&#8221; the report states.

Why It Matters: The allegations against Musk come after a series of public calls by Warren for investigations into his activities. In May, Warren <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45664976/elizabeth-warren-demands-competitive-ai-contracting-at-pentagon-amid-silent-expansion-of-elon-musks-grok-how-does-dod-plan-to-ensure">urged </a>the Department of Defense to ensure competitive AI contracting, particularly in light of Musk&#8217;s AI chatbot, Grok, gaining traction within the federal government. The&nbsp;Senator did not specifically mention Grok, but highlighted the need for competitive AI contracting to prevent monopolization.
Furthermore, on June 2, 2025, Warren doubled down on her <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis/25/06/45715155/elizabeth-warren-calls-it-textbook-corruption-once-again-asks-for-probe-into-elon-musk-cashing-in-on-trump-tariffs">accusations </a>that Musk benefited from Trump&#8217;s tariffs, calling for a federal investigation into what she labeled &#8220;textbook corruption.&#8221; Warren alleged that Starlink, Musk&#8217;s satellite internet venture, received favorable foreign operating permits around the same time Trump imposed broad tariffs during trade negotiations.
Notably, Elon Musk ended his 130-day tenure as DOGE leader a week back and has been openly critical about Trump&#8217;s &#8216;Big, Beautiful Bill&#8217; on multiple occasions.

'130 Days Of Elon Musk': Elizabeth Warren Releases Blistering Report Accusing Tesla CEO Of More Than 100 Power Abuses

Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>) shareholders delivered a rebuke to CEO David Zaslav&#8216;s leadership on Tuesday, with over 59% voting against his $51.9 million compensation package for 2024 in the company&#8217;s annual &#8220;say-on-pay&#8221; ballot.
What Happened: The symbolic vote represents growing shareholder frustration with executive compensation at the media conglomerate, which has seen its stock plummet 59% since the April 2022 merger of AT&amp;T&#8217;s WarnerMedia and Discovery Communications created the company, The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/media/warner-discovery-shareholders-vote-against-ceo-david-zaslavs-pay-db679d1e?mod=hp_lead_pos6">reported</a>. More than 80% of shareholders participated in the non-binding vote.
Zaslav&#8217;s pay package rejection marks a significant deterioration from last year, when 50.8% of shareholders approved executive compensation. Corporate governance firm ISS considers anything below 70% approval as &#8220;low support.&#8221;
The compensation controversy comes as Warner Bros. Discovery faces mounting financial pressures. S&amp;P Global Ratings downgraded the company&#8217;s debt to junk status in May, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/reiteration/25/06/45731052/warner-bros-debt-downgrade-is-an-ironically-positive-event-analyst">citing challenges in its cable-network business</a> as consumers abandon traditional television for streaming services.

Why It Matters: Warner&#8217;s cable networks, including CNN, Food Network, and Discovery Channel, continue experiencing rating and revenue declines. The company&#8217;s HBO Max streaming service, while profitable and adding subscribers, lags significantly behind industry leaders Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) and Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>), the report noted.
Bank of America Securities analyst Jessica Reif Ehrlich <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/reiteration/25/06/45731052/warner-bros-debt-downgrade-is-an-ironically-positive-event-analyst">maintains a Buy rating on Warner Bros. Discovery</a> with a $14 price target, calling the debt downgrade &#8220;ironically positive&#8221; for equity holders. Ehrlich argues the downgrade increases strategic flexibility by removing a &#8220;double-trigger&#8221; change of control covenant that previously limited strategic options.
Entertainment industry CEO compensation typically exceeds other sectors, according to the report. Netflix co-CEOs Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters each received over $60 million in 2024, while Disney&#8217;s Bob Iger earned $41.1 million. However, shareholders at both companies have previously rejected executive pay packages in similar non-binding votes.
WBD stock is showing positive momentum with an upward short- to long-term price trend, according to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings. However, it faces challenges in growth and valuation.

Warner Bros Discovery Shareholders Reject CEO David Zaslav's $51.9 Million Pay Package Amid Stock Slump, Debt Downgrade

On Tuesday, Palantir Technologies pushed back against a report alleging the company is aiding the Donald Trump administration in building <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/06/45760755/trump-administration-silently-employs-palantir-to-gather-personal-data-of-each-american-raising-priv">detailed profiles of American citizens</a> using federal data.
What Happened: The New York Times reported that the Trump administration is using Palantir's Foundry platform to implement a March executive order that expands federal data sharing.
The report claims Foundry is being used by agencies such as the Department of Health and Human Services and the Social Security Administration to combine personal data, including bank records, medical claims and student debt, raising alarms about potential privacy violations.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45763363/nvidia-overtakes-microsoft-as-the-worlds-most-valuable-company-with-3-4-trillion-market-cap-as-morgan-stanley-reaffirms-top-pick-status">Nvidia Overtakes Microsoft As The World&#8217;s Most Valuable Company With $3.4 Trillion Market Cap As Morgan Stanley Reaffirms Top Pick Status</a>
Palantir strongly denied the report, calling it "blatantly untrue."
In a statement posted on X, formerly Twitter, the company said, "Palantir never collects data to unlawfully surveil Americans, and our Foundry platform employs granular security protections. If the facts were on its side, the New York Times would not have needed to twist the truth."

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
The report also revealed internal concerns at Palantir, with 13 former employees signing a letter urging the company to cut ties with the Trump administration.
The Times did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga's</a> request for comments. Why It's Important: Palantir shares have surged <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/05/45655507/tech-analyst-expects-palantir-stock-to-rise-above-400-as-ai-revolution-kicks-into-gear">more than 500% in the past</a> 12 months, fueled by the company's strong foothold in the AI sector.
The company currently has a market cap of $311.60 billion, making it the 30th most valuable company in the world.
In May, Palantir reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45208000/palantir-q1-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-in-line-customer-count-up-39-company-raises-guidance-citing-surging-and-ferocious-growth">first-quarter revenue</a> of $883.86 million, surpassing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">analyst expectations</a> of $862.83 million. Adjusted earnings came in at 13 cents per share, matching forecasts.
This marked the seventh consecutive quarter in which Palantir has met or outperformed analyst projections for both revenue and earnings.
Price Action: Palantir shares have climbed 77.11% year-to-date. As of the time of writing, the stock was trading at $133.19 in after-hours, up 0.015%, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings highlight Palantir&#8217;s strong price momentum across short-, medium and long-term timeframes. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">More in-depth metrics are available here</a>.
