Earnings Scheduled For February 5, 2025

Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) CEO, Alex Karp, has shown enthusiasm for the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and its potential influence on his company.
What Happened: Established by President Trump two weeks ago with Elon Musk at the helm, DOGE aims to implement cost-cutting measures. Despite the possible effects on companies dependent on government contracts, Karp views DOGE as a positive disruptor.
During Palantir&#8217;s Q4 earnings call on Monday, Karp referred to the DOGE initiative as a &#8220;revolution&#8221; that will be &#8220;very good&#8221; for the company in the long run. 
"There will be ups and downs. There's a revolution. Some people are going to get their heads cut off. We're expecting to see really unexpected things and to win."  
Palantir, well known for landing significant federal contracts, reported a 36% year-over-year revenue increase in Q4 2025, with U.S. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43456348/pltr-stock-surges-over-17-in-pre-market-after-ceo-alex-karp-touts-untamed-organic-growth-in-ai-demand">government contracts</a> contributing $343 million—up 45% from the previous year.
Palantir's CTO, Shyam Sankar, reiterated Karp&#8217;s sentiments, stating that the company&#8217;s values align with DOGE&#8217;s mission. He believes that DOGE&#8217;s emphasis on accountability and transparency will create opportunities for Palantir&#8217;s work.
SEE ALSO: <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/price-target/25/02/43463909/palantir-stock-is-surging-tuesday-whats-going-on">Palantir Stock Is Surging Tuesday: What&#8217;s Going On?</a>
Why It Matters: Palantir has traditionally relied on federal contracts as the foundation of its revenue.&nbsp;The company&#8217;s Gotham platform, a vital resource for defense and intelligence agencies, highlights its strong foothold in the government arena.
Palantir&#8217;s CEO, Karp emphasized a surge in &#8216;untamed&#8217; demand for its artificial intelligence software. The company forecasted revenue of $3.75 billion in 2025, surpassing analysts' estimates. Following the company&#8217;s better-than-expected financial results for the fourth quarter, several analysts also lifted price targets. The total revenue grew 36% year-over-year, driven by strong U.S. revenue growth of 52% year-over-year.
Wedbush's Dan Ives in an interview on CNBC's "Closing Bell: Overtime." said that<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/02/43476925/buying-palantir-stock-today-is-like-buying-tesla-stock-10-years-ago-dan-ives-says-this-could-be-a-1-trillion-market-cap"> buying Palantir stock </a>right now could be like buying Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) stock in 2015. He stated, "When you start to look out to the next three, four, five years … this could be a $1 trillion market cap."
Price Action: PLTR stock ended 23.99% higher at $103.83 at the market close yesterday, according to data from <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Alex Karp Says Elon Musk's DOGE Initiative Will Be 'Very Good' For Palantir: 'Expecting To See Really Unexpected Things And To Win'

Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) CEO Lisa Su has addressed DeepSeek's AI advancements and their potential impact on the semiconductor market.
What Happened: During AMD's <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43480688/amd-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-data-center-continued-growth">fourth-quarter earnings</a> call on Tuesday, Su expressed optimism about the innovations in AI.
&#8220;The fact that there are new ways to bring about training and inference capabilities with less infrastructure actually is a good thing because it allows us to continue to deploy AI compute in broader application spaces and drive more adoption,&#8221; she stated.
Su also reinforced AMD's commitment to open-source AI, noting that DeepSeek's success aligns with the industry&#8217;s broader shift toward democratized AI models.

Regarding the future of AI chips, Su stated that while application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) are part of AMD&#8217;s total addressable market, GPUs will continue to play a significant role due to their programmability and adaptability to evolving AI algorithms.
&#8220;My belief is, given how much change there is still going on in AI algorithms, that ASICs will still be the smaller part of that TAM [Total Addressable Market] because it is a more specific workload-optimized solution,&#8221; Su explained. &#8220;GPUs will enable significant programmability and adjustments to all of these algorithm changes.&#8221;
She noted that AMD&#8217;s portfolio spans CPUs, GPUs, and ASICs, positioning the company as a comprehensive compute partner for diverse workloads.

Why It Matters: AMD&#8217;s fourth-quarter report revealed revenue of $7.66 billion, surpassing analyst expectations of $7.53 billion.
This performance underscores AMD&#8217;s robust position in the semiconductor industry, particularly in the data center segment, which saw a 69% growth.
The emergence of <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/02/43420277/these-3-stocks-are-at-most-risk-from-chinas-ai-innovation">DeepSeek's low-cost AI assistant</a> app from China has been a significant development in the AI landscape. DeepSeek says they spent only $5.6 million on semiconductor chips. That's about one-tenth of what companies like OpenAI and Meta have spent on chips for their AI apps.
When the market realized that the same AI performance could be achieved with fewer and slower chips, it hit companies supplying expensive chips.
On Jan. 27, Nvidia Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) stock dropped 17%. In the days after the DeepSeek news, chip stocks and AI-focused companies saw a slight recovery.
However, the damage isn&#8217;t contained yet. The idea of a cheaper, equally effective way to build AI models still lingers.
Price Action: AMD's stock fell 8.84% in after-hours trading, closing at $108.94. Earlier on Tuesday, it ended at $119.50, up 4.58%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Whereas, DJT has fallen by 13.96% in the same period, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Why It Matters: Trump coin&#8217;s decline highlights the volatility of meme coins, particularly those tied to celebrities. Launched before Trump&#8217;s presidential inauguration, TRUMP briefly reached a fully diluted valuation of $75 billion but has since dropped 76%, now valued at $17.81 billion. Despite offering some utility, such as for purchasing Trump-branded merchandise, its price fluctuations have largely been influenced by broader market trends.

Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) decided not to comply with the European Union&#8217;s AI Code of Practice. Joel Kaplan, the new head of global affairs at Meta, made this announcement, escalating the company&#8217;s ongoing disputes with European regulators.
What Happened: Kaplan voiced his stance at Meta&#8217;s&nbsp;EU Innovation Day event in&nbsp;Brussels, as per&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-02-04/meta-s-kaplan-signals-pushback-against-eu-regulation-for-ai">Bloomberg</a>. He criticized the Code of Practice, aimed at unifying AI industry regulations across Europe, as &#8220;unworkable and infeasible.&#8221;
Kaplan believes the Code imposes &#8220;additional burdens on&nbsp;Western open source AI models,&#8221; aligning with the industry&#8217;s current trajectory. He also stated that Meta would keep the U.S. administration updated on the regulatory hurdles it encounters overseas.
Previously, Mark Zuckerberg&#8216;s Meta was forced to postpone the launch of its AI chat assistant in the EU amid regulatory concerns. Kaplan emphasized the U.S. administration&#8217;s commitment to supporting and advocating for American technology and tech companies.
Meta, a staunch supporter of open-source technology in AI, has justified its significant investment in the technology, particularly after the rise of a cheaper open-source AI model from a Chinese rival.
Kaplan also announced that Meta will soon introduce Community Notes, a feature allowing users to fact-check content on its platforms in the U.S. This tool is anticipated to replace third-party fact-checkers on social networks.

Why It Matters: This development adds to Meta&#8217;s growing list of conflicts with European regulators. In November, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/41981957/meta-hit-with-841-million-eu-fine-over-antitrust-violations-tied-to-facebook-marketplace">European Commission fined Meta $841 million</a> for violating EU antitrust laws. The company was found to have abused its dominant market position by integrating its classified ads service, Facebook Marketplace, with its primary social media network, Facebook.
In January, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43160342/metas-pay-or-consent-policy-faces-fresh-criticism-from-eu-consumer-group">European Consumer Organisation (BEUC) raised concerns</a> about Meta&#8217;s &#8220;pay-or-consent&#8221; data policy, suggesting it might breach consumer protection laws, data privacy regulations, and the Digital Markets Act.
Europe is the second-largest market for Meta after the U.S. In its fourth-quarter results, the company posted an ad revenue growth of 22% for Europe on a user geography basis, exceeding that of North America at 18%.
Meta&#8217;s refusal to adhere to the EU&#8217;s AI Code of Practice could potentially intensify the ongoing regulatory tensions with the EU. &#8220;.. we continue to monitor an active regulatory landscape, including legal and regulatory headwinds in the EU and the U.S. that could significantly impact our business and our financial results.&#8221; said Susan Li, the CFO at Meta said during the earnings release on Jan. 29.
Earlier, it was reported that Brussels was reportedly revisiting its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/42967007/eu-reconsiders-apple-meta-and-google-investigations-ahead-of-trumps-potential-white-house-return-its-going-to-be-a-whole-new-ballgame">scrutiny of major U.S. tech giants</a> as President Donald Trump returned to the White House. A senior EU diplomat, aware of the review, highlighted the influence of tech leaders close to Trump, saying, &#8220;It&#8217;s going to be a whole new ballgame.&#8221;

Meta's Global Affairs Chief Slams EU AI Code, Calls It A Burden On 'Western Open Source AI Models'

Robotics company Figure AI is leaving its collaboration agreement with OpenAI following a &#8216;major breakthrough&#8217; on its in-house robot AI, the company&#8217;s CEO Brett Adcock said in a social media post on Tuesday.
What Happened: &#8220;We&#8217;re excited to show you in the next 30 days something no one has ever seen on a humanoid,&#8221; the founder said, without providing more details.
Figure AI did not immediately respond to Benzinga&#8217;s request for a comment.
OpenAI and Figure <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37399976/nvidia-microsoft-back-figure-ai-with-675m-investment-for-humanoid-robots-integration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced a partnership</a> in February last year to develop AI models for humanoid robots. The ChatGPT parent company is also an investor in the robotics company.
Figure AI was launched in 2022 with the aim of developing humanoids to address labor shortages and reduce the number of workers in unsafe jobs. In August, the company unveiled Figure 02, weighing 70 kg and 5&#8217;6 tall.
The company then said the robot will have a five-hour runtime and be capable of speech-to-speech conversation with humans, thanks to custom AI models trained in partnership with OpenAI.
Why It Matters: The Figure founder&#8217;s announcement is in line with Tesla&#8217;s approach. The EV giant is also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37416207/elon-musk-says-bring-it-on-to-openai-microsoft-and-bezos-675m-humanoid-robot-venture-pitches-teslas">developing a humanoid robot</a> nicknamed Optimus which is being trained with the company&#8217;s in-house AI.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said late last month that the company intends to make several thousand units of its Optimus humanoid robot this year for deployment in its factory which will inform the next version of the robot slated for launch next year and likely to be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43325888/tesla-likely-to-sell-optimus-to-rival-companies-in-2026-price-point-of-humanoid-robot-to-be-detemined-by-demand-says-ceo-elon-musk">sold to rival companies</a>.

Tesla Rival Figure AI Ends Collaboration With OpenAI After 'Major Breakthrough,' Says It Will Show 'Something No One Has Ever Seen On A Humanoid' In Next 30 Days

On Tuesday, Alphabet Inc. (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>) CEO Sundar Pichai recognized the progress made by China&#8217;s DeepSeek but said that Google&#8217;s Gemini remains ahead in efficiency, cost, and performance
What Happened: During Alphabet's <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43479274/alphabet-q4-earnings-highlights-ai-cloud-youtube-momentum-continues-capex-guidance-sends-shares-lower">fourth-quarter earnings</a> call, analyst Eric Sheridan asked Pichai about the impact of DeepSeek's AI developments.
While acknowledging DeepSeek's achievements, he said the Gemini model leads in the Pareto frontier of cost, performance, and latency, outperforming DeepSeek&#8217;s V3 and R1 models.
&#8220;If you look at one of the areas in which the Gemini models shine, it's the Pareto frontier of cost, performance, and latency,&#8221; Pichai said. &#8220;And if you look at all three attributes, I think we lead this Pareto frontier.&#8221;

He also said that the focus on inference over training is paying off.
&#8220;If you look at the trajectory over the past three years, the proportion of the spend towards inference compared to training has been increasing, which is good because obviously, inference is to support businesses with good ROIC (Return on Invested Capital).&#8221;
Why It Matters: Alphabet reported total revenue of $96.5 billion for the fourth quarter, reflecting a 12% year-over-year increase.
