    - Palantir Technologies (PLTR) shares slid by the most in nearly a year after its financial results and projections failed to live up to investors’ lofty expectations. The company described rising demand for artificial intelligence software as a “ravenous whirlwind” and bumped its 2025 revenue forecast on Monday to about $3.9 billion from about $3.75 billion. But even a solid earnings results beat and the raised outlook wasn’t enough to justify the stock’s high valuation and extend its massive year-to-date gain. Palantir’s shares tanked by as much as 14.9% to $105.32, the lowest intraday price since May 7, 2024. The stock was still up 41% for the year.

    - Hims & Hers Health Inc. (HIMS) reiterated its 2025 revenue forecast after posting better-than-expected sales for the first quarter, raising questions about the future as it shifts from making copycat weight-loss drugs to selling discounted versions of Novo Nordisk A/S’s blockbuster Wegovy. Hims’ business got a boost when branded weight-loss drugs were in short supply and a regulatory loophole allowed it to sell less expensive compounded versions of drugs like semaglutide, a chemical name for Wegovy. Those shortages have since resolved and now the telehealth company is finding a new lane by also selling branded drugs at a discount.

    - Constellation Energy (CEG) surged after it said it is on the verge of signing long-term deals to provide nuclear energy that could meet unrelenting demand to run data centers and factories. Shares climbed 12% as Chief Executive Officer Joe Dominguez said on an earnings call that the agreements bolster the case for Constellation’s pending $16.4 billion deal for Calpine, which would give Constellation the largest fleet of US power stations. Power consumption in the US is expected to grow almost 16% over the next five years, driven by data centers running artificial intelligence operations, as well as the electrification of homes and cars and a shift away from fossil fuels in manufacturing. That’s created new life for old nuclear plants, with a deal to reopen Three Mile Island as the most high-profile example.

    - Apple (APPL) shares fell this week after its quarterly earnings report failed to soothe investor concerns about its biggest challenges, including escalating tariff costs and a slowdown in China. The company’s shares declined 3.7% in New York on Friday after second-quarter results included worse-than-expected sales in China. The iPhone maker also warned that tariffs will increase costs this quarter, a sign that geopolitical tensions are taking a growing toll on the business. Apple expects $900 million in higher costs from tariffs in the current period, Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook said Thursday during a conference call. Revenue will increase by a percentage in the low- to mid-single digits in the quarter, compared with a 5% average analyst estimate. The company didn’t offer any guidance on the impact of tariffs beyond the current period.

    - Eli Lilly (LLY) shares took a hit on word that CVS choose to make rival Novo Nordisk's popular weight-loss drug Wegovy more widely available to its customers.

Novo and Lilly have been locked in a fierce competition to dominate the obesity market, which is expected to reach $130 billion by the end of the decade. CVS Caremark’s decision to place Wegovy over Zepbound could give Novo an edge as the companies fight to convince insurance companies to pay for their treatments, which cost more than $1,000 a month before rebates.

    - Spotify (SPOT) shares tumbled on Tuesday after the streaming company gave a muted outlook for profit and subscriber growth in the current quarter.

Spotify sees monthly active users rising to 689 million, less than the 694.4 million analysts expected. The US-traded stock slipped as much as 9.6% in New York to $540.10. It had risen 22% this year through the end of March and had more than doubled in the last 12 months. Chief Executive Officer Daniel Ek tried to reassure investors that Spotify’s business is strong, despite economic turbulence roiling other industries.
