Gil Luria, Managing Director and Head of Technology Research at DA Davidson, joins Bloomberg Businessweek Daily to discuss Palantir earnings, including the firm's better-than-expected forecast revenue for fiscal 2026 that significantly exceeded Wall Street expectations, a boost for the data analytics company after its shares have gotten off to a lackluster start so far this year. Annual revenue will be between $7.18 billion and $7.2 billion, the Denver-based company said Monday in a statement. Analysts, on average, estimated $6.27 billion. Luria also weighs in as Elon Musk’s SpaceX announces it will acquire xAI, in a deal that encompasses the billionaire’s increasingly costly ambitions to dominate artificial intelligence and space exploration. The transaction was announced in a statement on SpaceX’s website signed by Musk, and confirmed an earlier Bloomberg News report. Luria speaks with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec. (Source: Bloomberg)
