- Apple And Palantir To Kick Off Tech Earnings In Another Crucial Week, AMD To Settle Chip Debate After Intel's Warning
Investors are heading into a key earnings week after last week's sharp selloff following weak reports from Alphabet, Intel and Amazon. Apple and Palantir report on Nov. 2 after the close, with Apple's revenue expected to rise 11% to $113.35 billion, its slowest growth in four quarters, and Palantir's Q3 revenue expected to rise 85% to $2.18 billion, with adjusted profit seen up 94% to $0.41 per share. AMD reports on Nov. 3, and its results will help determine whether Intel's weakness is company-specific or reflects a broader problem in the chip market, with Q3 revenue expected to rise 42% to $13.01 billion. Snap reports on Nov. 4 with revenue expected to rise 15% to $1.73 billion, after Alphabet and Reddit gave mixed signals on the ad market.
- Michael Burry Is Still Short Palantir. Here's What Its Nov. 2 Report Has to Show.
Michael Burry still holds put options against Palantir, which expire between June and December 2027. The stock closed at a record $209.05 on Oct. 9 and traded near $195 at the time of writing. Guidance calls for third-quarter revenue of $2.160 billion to $2.164 billion, about 83% growth, but Palantir has typically beaten its top guidance by 6% to 7%, which could mean about $2.3 billion. U.S. commercial revenue rose 149% to $764 million in the second quarter, and keeping management's target of at least $3.424 billion for 2026 on track implies about $930 million in the third quarter. The article notes that even a strong report would not make the stock cheap at about 166 times past earnings, though it could make Burry's under-$50 view harder to accept.
- Stock-Split Watch: Is Palantir Next?
Palantir stock has gained about 13.5%, and roughly 714% over the past five years, while the S&P 500 rose 70.5% over the same five-year period. The shares trade near $200, and the author says that level is not yet likely to prompt a split, though a move toward $500 that holds would make one more likely. Palantir has never split its stock in the roughly six years it has been publicly traded. In its Q2 report published in August, sales rose 93% year over year to $1.935 billion, and non-GAAP adjusted operating income reached $1.194 billion, a 62% margin. The author argues the company does not need a split to lift its valuation, and that its sales growth and margins could continue to support the stock's upward momentum.

Bernstein upgraded Datadog on stronger AI-related demand, while Palantir announced a government-cloud partnership but faced a potential selling zone around $195–$200. Amazon (AMZN) rose 5% after Morgan Stanley named it a top pick, helping the Nasdaq Composite gain 1.1% and the S&P 500 add 0.4%. CoreWeave (CRWV), however, finished slightly lower at $61.12, just above its July closing low of $60.82, and nearly two-thirds of S&P 500 stocks fell.

- Match Group Q3 Earnings Call Highlights
Match Group said Tinder's global daily active users returned to year-over-year growth in September for the first time in three and a half years, while declines in monthly active users and payers narrowed in the third quarter. Tinder's monthly active users fell 6% and payers fell 4%, with foreign-exchange-neutral direct revenue down 2%, and full-year 2026 direct revenue is now expected to decline at a low-single-digit rate. Lower-than-expected user givebacks, now about $25 million versus the $60 million previously anticipated, helped drive the improvement. Hinge revenue rose about 19% in the quarter, and the company kept its target of $1 billion in Hinge revenue in 2027. Match generated $832 million of year-to-date free cash flow and deployed $591 million toward buybacks, dividends and employee-equity settlements, but higher Apple and Google app-store fees are expected to pressure adjusted EBITDA margins in 2027.

Full-year revenue reached $478.8 billion, up 15%, and EPS was $8.98, up 20%. Services hit a record $31.6 billion, up 10%, with more than 2.5 billion active devices and more than 1.5 billion paid subscriptions. However, higher memory costs are pressuring margins, and Apple forecast 7%–10% revenue growth and a 45%–46% gross margin for the December quarter.
