Martin Shkreli, the former hedge fund manager known as &#8220;Pharma Bro,&#8221; defended Palantir Technologies Inc.&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) valuation on Tuesday amid the company&#8217;s surging stock price, projecting substantial cash flow growth for the data analytics firm through 2025.
What Happened: Shkreli, writing on X, stated that Palantir&#8217;s cash flow from operations (CFFO) should reach $1.8 billion in 2025 and potentially $2.7 billion by 2026. &#8220;It&#8217;s not as expensive as it looks,&#8221; he wrote, citing an 83x CFFO/FCF multiple for what he described as a &#8220;50% revenue grower with a lot of expense slack.&#8221;
His comments came as Palantir&#8217;s stock jumped 23.90% following strong <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43449486/palantir-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-us-revenue-up-52-customer-count-up-43-strong-guidance-this-is-a-new-phase-unlike-anything-that-has-come-before">fourth-quarter results</a> that exceeded analyst expectations. The company reported revenue of $827.52 million, beating estimates of $775.91 million, with earnings per share of 14 cents topping forecasts of 11 cents.
Palantir boasts a market capitalization of $236.42 billion, with a price-to-earnings ratio of 525.32. Despite the strong rally, Palantir&#8217;s Relative Strength Index over a 14-day period stands at 80.36, suggesting the stock may be approaching overbought territory.

Why It Matters: The AI software company&#8217;s performance was particularly robust in its U.S. operations, with commercial revenue surging 64% year-over-year to $214 million and government revenue <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43452860/palantir-soars-23-after-hours-as-cramer-says-i-wont-let-you-down-and-dan-ives-calls-it-the-next-oracle-in-ai-boom">rising 45% to $343 million</a>. Customer count grew 43% compared to the previous year.
CEO Alex Karp emphasized the company&#8217;s position in the AI revolution, stating in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43449486/palantir-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-us-revenue-up-52-customer-count-up-43-strong-guidance-this-is-a-new-phase-unlike-anything-that-has-come-before">letter to shareholders</a>, &#8220;We are still in the earliest stages, the beginning of the first act, of a revolution that will play out over years and decades.&#8221;
Analysts have responded positively, with several firms <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/price-target/25/02/43463909/palantir-stock-is-surging-tuesday-whats-going-on">raising their price targets</a>. Bank of America Securities maintained a Buy rating while lifting its target to $125, and Morgan Stanley upgraded the stock to Equal-Weight with a new $95 target.
Palantir forecasts <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/price-target/25/02/43463909/palantir-stock-is-surging-tuesday-whats-going-on">adjusted free cash flow</a> between $1.5 billion and $1.7 billion for the year.
Shkreli&#8217;s analysis comes after serving time for securities fraud related to his previous hedge fund management activities. While controversial, his background includes experience in financial analysis and pharmaceutical industry investments <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/21/11/23904774/wall-street-crime-and-punishment-martin-shkreli-the-self-destructive-pharma-bro">before his 2017 conviction</a>.
Price Action: Palantir closed at $103.83 on Tuesday, marking a 23.99% surge for the day. However, in after-hours trading, it edged down 0.90% to $102.90, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

'Pharma Bro' Martin Shkreli Defends Palantir's Valuation Amid 24% Surge, Says AI Firm's Cash Flow Justifies 'Expensive' Price

On Tuesday, OpenAI introduced a comprehensive rebranding initiative featuring a new logo and typeface.
What Happened: The revamped logo, referred to as a &#8220;blossom,&#8221; showcases a slightly larger central space and refined lines.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="721" height="721" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/04231210/OpenAI-black-monoblossom.png" alt="" class="wp-image-766116" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/04231210/OpenAI-black-monoblossom.png 721w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/04231210/OpenAI-black-monoblossom-300x300.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/04231210/OpenAI-black-monoblossom-150x150.png 150w" sizes="(max-width: 721px) 100vw, 721px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Source: OpenAI &#x7C; The redesigned OpenAI &#8216;Blossom&#8217; logo</figcaption></figure>

Initially crafted by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and co-founder Ilya Sutskever, the redesign was executed by an internal team led by Veit Moeller and Shannon Jager, <a href="https://www.wallpaper.com/tech/openai-has-undergone-its-first-ever-rebrand-giving-fresh-life-to-chatgpt-interactions">reported</a> Wallpaper. This transformation is designed to project a &#8220;more organic and more human&#8221; image.
The AI startup has also launched a new typeface, OpenAI sans, which merges geometric precision with a rounded, inviting character. For example, the wordmark&#8217;s &#8220;O&#8221; features a perfectly round exterior and an imperfect interior, aiming to counter robotic precision, according to Moeller.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="458" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/04231455/OpenAI-black-wordmark-1024x458.png" alt="" class="wp-image-766124" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/04231455/OpenAI-black-wordmark-1024x458.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/04231455/OpenAI-black-wordmark-300x134.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/04231455/OpenAI-black-wordmark-768x344.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/04231455/OpenAI-black-wordmark-1536x688.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/04231455/OpenAI-black-wordmark.png 1604w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Source: OpenAI &#x7C; OpenAI&#8217;s wordmark is displayed in OpenAI Sans.</figcaption></figure>
When questioned about the role of AI tools like ChatGPT in the design process, Moeller said that the team used AI to calculate type weights.

Why It Matters: On the same day, a federal judge ruled that parts of Elon Musk&#8217;s lawsuit against OpenAI will <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43484737/chatgpt-maker-openais-future-hangs-in-the-balance-as-judge-says-musks-lawsuit-will-partially-proceed-to-trial">proceed to trial</a>. The lawsuit challenges OpenAI&#8217;s shift to a for-profit model.
Last month, it was reported that SoftBank Group is in talks to lead a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/media/25/01/43374528/softbank-may-lead-openais-40-billion-funding-round-at-a-300-billion-valuation-despite-deepseek-disruption-report">$40 billion funding round</a> for OpenAI, potentially valuing the company at $300 billion.
In October 2024, the Altman-led <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41149788/openai-valuation-soars-to-157b-in-latest-funding-round">startup raised over $6.5 billion</a>, bringing its valuation to $157 billion.

OpenAI's Big Rebrand: ChatGPT-Parent Wants To Reflect A 'More Organic' Future With New Logo, Typeface

Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) revealed that its artificial intelligence-powered search features are achieving monetization rates comparable to traditional search results, marking a milestone in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43479274/alphabet-q4-earnings-highlights-ai-cloud-youtube-momentum-continues-capex-guidance-sends-shares-lower">the company&#8217;s AI strategy</a>.
What Happened: During Alphabet&#8217;s fourth-quarter of 2024 earnings call, Chief Business Officer Philipp Schindler announced that AI overviews, the company&#8217;s AI-enhanced search feature, is delivering revenue at &#8220;approximately the same rate&#8221; as conventional search results. 
This performance suggests the successful integration of AI technology without sacrificing the company&#8217;s core revenue engine.
The development is particularly noteworthy given that search advertising remains Alphabet&#8217;s largest revenue source, generating $54 billion in the fourth quarter, up 13% from the previous year. The successful monetization of AI features comes as the company significantly expands its AI infrastructure, announcing a planned $75 billion capital expenditure for 2025.
&#8220;AI overviews continue to drive higher satisfaction and search usage,&#8221; Schindler noted during the earnings call, indicating that the technology is not only matching revenue expectations but also improving user engagement. This is especially pronounced among younger users, suggesting potential for long-term growth in user adoption.

Why It Matters: The company reported that AI overviews are now available in more than 100 countries, while its newer Circle to Search feature has been rolled out to over 200 million Android devices. Users who have tried Circle to Search now initiate more than 10% of their searches through this feature, demonstrating strong user adoption of AI-powered search tools.
Google faces growing competition in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37412558/watch-out-google-openai-perplexity-ai-reportedly-raising-additional-money-at-significantly-higher-va">AI search market</a> from OpenAI's SearchGPT, Perplexity AI, Microsoft's AI-powered Bing, and China's DeepSeek, all offering advanced conversational and real-time search capabilities.
Price Action: Alphabet&#8217;s Class A stock declined 7.59% in after-hours trading to $190.71, while Class C shares fell 7.27% to $192.60, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Google AI's Search Revenue Matches Traditional Ads, Says Alphabet But There Is Rising Competition From OpenAI, Perplexity, DeepSeek

Gold prices surged to an unprecedented high of $2,849.05 per ounce on Wednesday, driven by renewed U.S.-China trade tensions and geopolitical uncertainties in the Middle East. The precious metal has demonstrated resilience this year, posting a 7.31% year-to-date gain, outperforming Bitcoin&#8216;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) 4.27% increase during the same period.
What Happened: The latest rally came after former President Donald Trump imposed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/02/43462165/china-strikes-retaliatory-measures-against-us-following-trumps-10-tariffs-its-much-less-than-proportional-analyst-says">a 10% tariff on Chinese imports</a>, prompting a measured response from Beijing. 
Peter Schiff, a prominent economist and gold advocate, views current market dynamics as bullish. &#8220;The fact that the public is selling and not buying is extremely bullish for gold. It&#8217;s a contrarian indicator,&#8221; Schiff posted on X, suggesting that retail investors might return to the market at higher price levels.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">I forgot to mention it, but the fact that the public is selling and not buying is extremely bullish for gold. It&#39;s a contrarian indicator. Retail gold investors will eventually stop selling, and later, the general public will start buying, but at much higher prices.

Why It Matters: Market sentiment received additional support from Trump&#8217;s proposal to assume <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43484176/trump-says-us-will-take-over-gaza-strip-were-going-to-develop-it-create-thousands-of-jobs">U.S. control over Gaza Strip</a> reconstruction, adding another layer of geopolitical complexity to the precious metal&#8217;s appeal. However, analysts note that persistent high interest rates could potentially cap gold&#8217;s upside.
Gold futures for April delivery reached $2,879.49, up 0.13%, reflecting strong demand. The metal has appreciated 7.56% since Trump&#8217;s November election victory, though this performance trails Bitcoin&#8217;s 40.15% surge over the same timeframe.
The metal&#8217;s performance comes at a time when investors are closely monitoring potential inflationary pressures that could emerge from new tariffs, possibly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/25/02/43468406/treasury-etfs-in-focus-as-trumps-tariffs-feds-rate-decision-shake-bond-markets">influencing Federal Reserve monetary policy decisions</a>. 
Despite the robust rally, market participants remain vigilant about interest rate trajectories, which traditionally have an inverse relationship with gold prices.

Gold Outshines Bitcoin As Trump's Gaza Plan, US-China Tensions Fuel Rally—Peter Schiff Calls It 'Extremely Bullish'

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) has increased the monthly subscription cost for its AppleCare+ service across all iPhone models in the U.S.&nbsp;
What Happened: Apple has raised the monthly fee for AppleCare+ by 50 cents. The standard AppleCare+ for the iPhone 16 now costs $10.49 per month, up from $9.99, <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2025/02/04/applecare-iphone-price-increase/">reported</a> MacRumors on Tuesday.
This price hike affects all current iPhone models, including both the standard and Theft and Loss plans. However, the two-year AppleCare+ subscription prices, service fees, and deductibles remain unchanged, with the increase specific to monthly payments.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/02/43425734/apple-watch-faces-are-a-mess-series-10s-biggest-feature-is-limited-to-just-four-faces-frustrating-users">Apple Watch Faces Are A Mess — Series 10&#8217;s Biggest Feature Is Limited To Just Four Faces, Frustrating Users</a>
Moreover, Apple has not changed the AppleCare+ subscription prices for iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch.
Apple did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga's</a> request for comments.
Why It Matters: On Sunday, Bloomberg&#8217;s Mark Gurman reported that Apple retail stores will stop offering AppleCare+ as a one-time purchase starting next week. Instead, AppleCare+ will only be available as a subscription in stores.
For instance, coverage for the iPhone 16 Pro Max costs $9.99 per month (before the price increase) or a one-time payment of $199 for two years. However, the upfront payment option will no longer be available in physical stores.

What Happened: The leading cryptocurrency dropped to $97,924.27, its lowest level in the last 24 hours of trading, while the broader crypto market capitalization fell 2.92% to $3.23 trillion. 
The decline coincided with newly appointed &#8220;Crypto Czar&#8221; David Sacks announcing the formation of a bipartisan, bicameral committee to establish a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43477333/crypto-czar-sacks-says-potential-bitcoin-reserve-to-be-one-of-crypto-committees-first-priorities">regulatory framework for digital assets</a>.
Ethereum also experienced downward pressure despite social media attention from Eric Trump, who suggested on X that &#8220;it&#8217;s a great time to add $ETH.&#8221;

Analyst Notes:&nbsp; Leading cryptocurrency analyst Rekt Capital expects Bitcoin to consolidate between $98,300 and $101,000 in the near term. &#8220;Bitcoin revisited the $101k level&#8230; but failed the subsequent post-breakout retest of it into new support,&#8221; they noted.

Cryptocurrency analyst Michaël van de Poppe offered a contrarian view regarding Ethereum&#8217;s prospects following Eric Trump&#8217;s comments, stating, &#8220;The most hated trade is usually the best trade to take. If Trump bets massively on $ETH, it&#8217;s almost foolish to not follow that route at these valuations.&#8221;
