Earnings results often indicate what direction a company will take in the months ahead. With Q1 behind us, let's have a look at Strategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) and its peers.

Organizations generate a lot of data that is stored in silos, often in incompatible formats, making it slow and costly to extract actionable insights, which in turn drives demand for modern cloud-based data analysis platforms that can efficiently analyze the siloed data.

The 6 data analytics stocks we track reported a strong Q1. As a group, revenues beat analysts' consensus estimates by 3.3% while next quarter's revenue guidance was in line.

Amidst this news, share prices of the companies have had a rough stretch. On average, they are down 9.6% since the latest earnings results.

Weakest Q1: Strategy (NASDAQ:MSTR)

Once a traditional business intelligence software provider, Strategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) develops AI-powered enterprise analytics software while also functioning as a major corporate holder of Bitcoin cryptocurrency.

Strategy reported revenues of $124.3 million, up 11.9% year on year. This print exceeded analysts' expectations by 2%. Despite the top-line beat, it was still a softer quarter for the company with a significant miss of analysts' EBITDA and billings estimates.

"Adoption of Bitcoin continues to grow in 2026. Digital Credit, highlighted by STRC, has been a big success. STRC has shown strong demand, high liquidity, and low volatility. We raised $5.6 billion year-to-date of STRC gross proceeds, increased daily trading volume to $375 million, while bringing volatility down to 3%, all done during a bitcoin bear market. We also continue to see traditional finance and major banks including Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and Citi announcing bitcoin ETFs, trading, custody, and lending services," said Phong Le, President and Chief Executive Officer.Strategy Total Revenue

The market seems disappointed with the results as the stock is down 35.6% since reporting and currently trades at $120.40.

Market Update

Late in 2025 into early 2026, there was hand-wringing around artificial intelligence. For software companies, the fear was that AI would erode pricing power and compress margins as new tools made it easier to replicate what once required expensive enterprise platforms. Crypto investors had their own version of the same anxiety: if AI agents could trade, allocate capital, and manage wallets autonomously, what exactly was the long-term value of today's crypto infrastructure?

These concerns triggered a noticeable rotation away from these sectors and into safer havens. But markets rarely dwell on one narrative for long. Spring 2026 came, and the focus shifted abruptly from technological disruption to geopolitical risk. The US' conflict with Iran became the dominant driver of market psychology, and when geopolitics takes center stage, the script changes quickly. Investors stop debating growth rates and start worrying about oil supply, inflation, and global stability.

Palantir Technologies (PLTR, Financials) is back under technical pressure after a failed breakout attempt.

Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with PLTR. Is PLTR fairly valued? Test your thesis with our free DCF calculator.

The stock briefly moved above a descending trendline, but the move did not hold. It also ran into resistance near its 200-day moving average, a level many traders use to judge the longer-term trend.

Now the focus is on support near $126.50. If Palantir can stay above that level, buyers may try to push the stock higher again. If it breaks below it, traders may expect more downside.

For investors, this is mostly a short-term trading signal rather than a change in Palantir's business story. The company's long-term outlook still depends on revenue growth, government demand and commercial adoption of its AI platform.

Palantir Technologies Inc stock gained by over half a percent during Thursday's premarket session as risk appetite improves alongside firmer index futures, keeping buyers engaged even after the stock's recent pullback. Nasdaq futures are up 1.22% while S&P 500 futures have gained 0.81%.

With no single headline driving the tape, the early move looks more like a "macro bid" tied to stronger futures, while traders keep an eye on whether PLTR can stabilize near recent lows after April's breakdown.

Meanwhile, CEO Alex Karp said AI will force businesses, workers, and governments to adapt, while arguing that many frontier AI labs still do not understand the demands of enterprise deployment.

AI Will Create Major Dislocation

Karp said AI is creating a massive period of dislocation and warned that leaders should not ignore the social and economic pressures it may create. He said the issue is not simply mass job loss, but the need to retrain, retool, and change how people work.

Karp warned that artificial intelligence could accelerate wealth concentration and fuel political unrest unless policymakers and businesses address the technology's social consequences.

"We're going to have massive resources, but they're going to disproportionately go to people who are already wealthy," Karp said. "That is a political problem."

Karp said discussions around AI often underestimate the scale of disruption the technology could bring. He argued that businesses, governments and society must openly acknowledge challenges tied to workforce displacement and economic inequality rather than assume rising prosperity will solve those issues.

"The American people are really wondering what is going to happen to them," Karp said. "The answers aren't all good or bad."

He said the U.S. has an advantage because of its ability to adapt and rebuild, but that the country needs a stronger common purpose as AI reshapes the labor market and stirs fear among workers.

Enterprises Want Practical AI

Karp told CNBC on Wednesday that businesses are unhappy with frontier AI labs because they often do not understand enterprise problems, technical complexity, or security requirements. He said large companies need AI systems that work inside real-world operations, not just models that solve simple or self-contained tasks.

Story Continues

Karp said Palantir works with major governments and enterprises where software must perform reliably in high-stakes settings. He said the value in AI will come from validation, deployment, and integration into complex systems, especially over the next several years.

Anthropic Relies On Palantir

Karp said large language models remain important, but he argued that enterprise deployment is where much of the value sits.

He told CNBC that most of the things Anthropic talks about in public are running on Palantir, framing the company as an important layer for applying AI within real-world organizations.

Karp said frontier AI companies may remain important, but businesses still need platforms that understand enterprise workflows, security needs, and operational constraints.

Technical Analysis

From a trend perspective, PLTR is still in a repair phase: the stock is trading 5.9% below its 20-day SMA, 6.8% below its 50-day SMA, 9.4% below its 100-day SMA, and 18.6% below its 200-day SMA. That stack keeps rallies vulnerable to selling pressure until price can reclaim at least the short-to-intermediate moving averages.

The moving-average structure reinforces that caution, with the 20-day SMA below the 50-day SMA and a death cross in February (the 50-day SMA below the 200-day SMA). Longer-term, the stock is down 4.53% over the past 12 months, and it's still well off the $207.52 52-week high set in November 2025.

Momentum is also leaning defensive: MACD is below its signal line and the histogram is negative, which points to upside pressure cooling versus the prior upswing. In plain terms, MACD compares faster and slower trend momentum, and being below the signal line suggests buyers may need a fresh push to regain control.

Key levels are getting clearer as the stock trades closer to the bottom of its 52-week range ($122.68 to $207.52). A hold above nearby support can keep the bounce attempt intact, but failed rebounds can run into overhead supply where prior breakdowns and moving averages tend to cap price.

Key Resistance: $149.50 — a nearby ceiling that lines up with a logical rebound-stall zone below the longer-term trend gauges Key Support: $128.50 — a near-term floor near the lower end of the 52-week range where buyers have recently shown up

Building Wealth Across More Than Just the Market

Building a resilient portfolio means thinking beyond a single asset or market trend. Economic cycles shift, sectors rise and fall, and no one investment performs well in every environment. That's why many investors look to diversify with platforms that provide access to real estate, fixed-income opportunities, precious metals, and even self-directed retirement accounts. By spreading exposure across multiple asset classes, it becomes easier to manage risk, capture steady returns, and create long-term wealth that isn't tied to the fortunes of just one company or industry.

With the stock trading and early Wall Street estimates rolling in, it's possible to reexamine SpaceX fundamentals. SpaceX shares were at $166 in midday trading on Friday, up nicely from their $135 IPO price. The valuation is also about 220 times estimated 2026 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, or Ebitda, of $10 billion and 96 times estimated 2027 Ebitda of $23 billion.

Quick Read

ORCL stock is off its peak despite trouncing earnings estimates Wall Street is showing signs it is becoming uninterested in the company's ambitions This could spell trouble as Oracle gets increasingly strapped for cash Act now: the analyst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just named his top 10 AI stocks — and Oracle didn't make the cut. Grab the names FREE today.

Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) recently reported blockbuster earnings, with both the top and bottom lines coming in above estimates. Revenue came in at $19.2 billion ($100 million higher than estimated), and EPS came in at $2.11 ($1.96 estimated). Both of these figures would've led to an equally blockbuster stock market performance, but the opposite has happened.24/7/ Wall St.

Oracle is turning into a "growth at any cost" company, and Wall Street is no longer rewarding it. And if this trend continues, ORCL stock could stay in the red for far longer than you think.

It obviously looks counterintuitive, because investors have historically rewarded profitable growth. However, other figures make revenue and EPS look like a distraction in comparison.

The flashing warning signal for Oracle

The biggest warning signal for Oracle is that the stock market is getting skittish about the AI buildout. ORCL stock reached eye-watering valuations late last year, and this made management confident that going all-in on what the market liked would lead to an even bigger windfall.

Unfortunately, building AI data centers is not easy. Oracle needs hundreds of billions and many years to convert that $638 billion backlog into revenue. It does not have hundreds of billions in cash, so all that money would either have to come in as debt, or Oracle could issue shares. Both of these strategies only work if the stock market keeps rallying and the valuation remains high.

If Wall Street sours on Oracle and the valuation tumbles, everything falls apart.

Act now: the analyst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just named his top 10 AI stocks — and Oracle didn't make the cut. Grab the names FREE today.

Let's say ORCL stock drops 50% from here. A company with a $250 billion market cap will have trouble raising hundreds of billions of dollars in low-interest debt.

Why Wall Street is souring on Oracle

Investors' reaction to Oracle's Q4. FY 2026 earnings release implies that they are no longer going to blindly buy ORCL stock. We're not in 2025 anymore, and investors are much more careful about the stocks they hold. Even Palantir (NASDAQ:PLTR) has declined and is now treading water despite back-to-back earnings beats.

Story Continues

But why?

If you look at revenue/EPS and then buy stocks off of just those two metrics, you're likely going to underperform. Wall Street is now looking at balance sheets and cash flow instead. Both of these metrics look unpleasant when it comes to Oracle.

Investors like to buy the "pickaxes" of the AI gold rush. Namely, Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE:TSM), Micron (NASDAQ:MU), among others. These companies are selling the hardware and have high free cash flow metrics. Their balance sheets are getting healthier by the day.

On the other hand, Oracle is the one buying all this hardware, for higher and higher prices. Trailing 12-month free cash flow is -$23.7 billion. Oracle is only "profitable" due to accounting rules spreading out the buildout costs over many years. This is the case with many of its peers.

Rougher times are likely ahead

One of the main reasons behind ORCL stock tumbling by 27% so far into June is that management is doubling down on spending and shareholders will have to fund it. Oracle spent $55.7 billion on data centers and infrastructure in FY2026. Management projects net capex will balloon even further to around $70 billion in FY2027.

To fund this buildout, Oracle raised $43 billion in debt and $5 billion in equity in FY2026. Its total debt surpassed $153.1 billion by the end of February. And to fund the increased capex for next year, Oracle plans to raise another $40 billion in FY2027 through debt and equity. This includes a previously disclosed $20 billion "at-the-market" equity program.

On the flip side, Nvidia announced an additional $80 billion buyback program less than a month ago. It's clear why investors aren't happy with Oracle and other companies that are spending recklessly on this buildout.

I still wouldn't dump ORCL stock. Here's why

The market rally isn't entirely rational, and there are still pockets out there that are seeing success despite limited cash flow.

SpaceX (NASDAQ:SPCX) just had its IPO and is now worth over $2 trillion as of this writing, with other AI companies following suit. This "IPO mania" could spill over into the rest of the market and lead to a final, more euphoric leg of the AI rally. Of course, it's far from guaranteed, but if you're holding ORCL stock after a near-30% fall, it's not a good idea to sell at a loss just as the market starts getting interesting again.

After rallying from their lows this spring, software-as-a-service (SaaS) stocks once again have sold off in the latest tech pullback. With companies in the sector continuing to demonstrate that they are not getting disrupted by artificial intelligence (AI) and that it is likely more of a growth driver, now could be a good time to buy some top SaaS names on this dip.

Let's look at three SaaS stocks to consider buying right now.

Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »

1. Palantir Technologies

After years of outperformance, Palantir Technologies(NASDAQ: PLTR) stock has struggled this year, losing a quarter of its value, and it has once again been caught in the tech downdraft.

Despite its stock performance, its operational performance has been nothing short of spectacular. Palantir's AI platform (AIP) has become like an AI operating system that makes AI more useful in real-world situations. The platform's strength lies in its ability to gather data from disparate sources and structure it into an ontology, linking it to physical assets and actual processes. This significantly reduces AI hallucinations and should become even more important as agentic AI emerges.

Palantir has been seeing breakneck growth, with revenue accelerating for 11 straight quarters. Last quarter, its revenue surged 85%, once again led by U.S. commercial customer growth of 133%. The company is both rapidly adding new customers and seeing existing customers aggressively expand, with its net revenue retention up an incredible 150% over the past 12 months.

While the stock is still not cheap, the company has the potential to become one of the most important AI companies in the world.

2. Microsoft

Not even Microsoft(NASDAQ: MSFT) has been spared from the SaaS sell-off this year, with its stock down more than 15% in 2026. Like Palantir, it has also been performing well operationally.

Growth has been led by its cloud computing unit, Azure, which saw revenue grow 40% last quarter. It was Azure's 11th straight quarter of 30% or more revenue growth. This strong growth should continue well into the future, with $627 billion in future cloud computing commitments in its backlog.

Given how ingrained Microsoft's solutions are in enterprises, the risk of AI disruption looks small, and instead, it looks like the company will be a key AI facilitator. In fact, the company's enterprise software business is also performing well, with revenue from Microsoft 365 commercial revenue climbing 19% last quarter. The growth is being driven by increased adoption of Microsoft 365 Copilot, with paid users surging 250% to 20 million.

Story Continues

With its stock now trading at a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of under 21 based on fiscal 2027 analyst estimates (ending June 2027), it looks cheap given its growth and opportunities ahead. Microsoft also owns 27% of OpenAI.Image source: Getty Images.

3. ServiceNow

With its platform acting as the central nervous system on which IT departments run their entire software stacks, ServiceNow(NYSE: NOW) is not only very unlikely to be disrupted by AI, but also to be a big beneficiary. The company's configuration management database (CMDB) is deeply embedded in its customers' workflow and data and is an irreplaceable system of record. This makes it an ideal platform to launch an agentic AI orchestration platform, which the company recently introduced.

ServiceNow has been seeing solid growth, with subscription revenue climbing 22% last quarter. Now Assist, its suite of AI solutions, has been seeing strong growth, with revenue up nearly 70% in Q1. However, it is the company's new agentic AI orchestration solution, AI Control Tower, that appears to have the most potential, given that AI agents are still in their early innings and organizations will need a platform to manage them.

Trading at a forward P/E of less than 22 times 2027 estimates, the stock is an attractive pick-up at these levels.

BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc. BBAI remains confident in its 2026 outlook despite reporting essentially flat first-quarter 2026 revenues, supported by a strengthening backlog, major contract wins and growing demand for its higher-margin AI products. The company reaffirmed its full-year revenue guidance of $135-$165 million, signaling management’s confidence in a stronger performance over the remainder of the year.

A key reason behind this optimism is the company's growing backlog, which increased 14% sequentially to $281.9 million. The increase was driven primarily by a $53 million sole-source classified contract with an intelligence community customer, highlighting BigBear.ai’s strong position in national security markets. During the quarter, the company also secured new wins across trade and travel, Shipyard AI and Ask Sage, demonstrating momentum across its targeted growth areas.

Management continues to focus on two core markets — national security and trade & travel — where demand remains favorable. The company sees opportunities from increasing defense modernization efforts, border security investments and growing adoption of AI-powered decision-making tools. Positive developments at the Department of Homeland Security, including improved funding visibility and ongoing bid activity, could create additional contract opportunities in the coming quarters.

Another encouraging sign is the ongoing shift toward technology-based revenues. Ask Sage, the company’s generative AI platform, is helping increase exposure to higher-margin software and platform offerings. This contributed to gross margin expansion to 34% in the first quarter from 21.3% a year ago. Meanwhile, the successful integration of Ask Sage and CargoSeer, combined with a strong cash and investment position of more than $431 million, provides additional resources to pursue growth initiatives.

Taken together, these factors explain why BigBear.ai believes it remains on track to achieve its 2026 objectives.

The Competitive Landscape for BigBear.ai

While BigBear.ai operates in a niche focused on defense, homeland security and decision intelligence, it faces competition from larger AI and analytics providers that are also benefiting from growing government technology spending.

One notable competitor is Palantir Technologies PLTR. It continues to expand its presence across defense, intelligence and government agencies through its AI-powered data analytics platforms. Palantir's strong government relationships, expanding commercial business and growing adoption of its Artificial Intelligence Platform make it a formidable competitor. However, unlike Palantir, BigBear.ai remains more narrowly focused on mission-ready AI applications for national security and border-related use cases.

Another key rival is C3.ai AI. The company provides enterprise AI applications to government and defense customers and continues to invest heavily in generative AI offerings. C3.ai is pursuing opportunities tied to federal modernization and defense digital transformation initiatives. While C3.ai benefits from a broad AI portfolio, BigBear.ai differentiates itself through its operational expertise in homeland security, trade and travel and intelligence missions.

As government agencies accelerate AI adoption, BigBear.ai, Palantir and C3.ai are all competing for a larger share of federal technology spending, though BigBear.ai's specialized focus could help it capture targeted growth opportunities.

The Funds will cease trading on Cboe and will be closed to purchase by investors as of the close of regular trading on Cboe on June 16, 2026 (the “Closing Date”). The Funds will not accept creation orders after the Closing Date.

Shareholders may sell their holdings in either Fund prior to the Closing Date and customary brokerage charges may apply to these transactions. However, from June 16, 2026 through June 25, 2026 (the “Liquidation Date”) shareholders may only be able to sell their shares to certain broker-dealers and there is no assurance that there will be a market for a Fund’s shares during this time period. This process will result in each Fund increasing its cash holdings and reducing its exposure to the underlying stock and related financial instruments. Consequently, each Fund will no longer be pursuing its investment objective of providing leveraged exposure to the daily performance of its underlying stock, which is inconsistent with the Fund’s principal investment strategy.

On or about the Liquidation Date, each Fund will liquidate its assets and distribute cash pro rata to all shareholders who have not previously redeemed or sold their shares. These distributions are taxable events. In addition, these payments to shareholders may include accrued capital gains and dividends. As calculated on the Liquidation Date, each Fund’s net asset value will reflect the costs of closing the Fund. Once the distributions are complete, the Funds will terminate.

Newly launched funds have risks associated with having a limited operation history.

The Funds face numerous market trading risks, including active markets risk, authorized participation concentration risk, buffered loss risk, cap change risk, capped upside return risk, correlation risk, liquidity risk, management risk, market maker risk, market risk, non-diversification risk, operation risk, options risk, trading issues risk, upside participation risk and valuation risk. For a detailed list of fund risks see the prospectus.

Bitcoin Risk: While the Funds will not directly invest in digital assets, they will be subject to the risks associated with Bitcoin by virtue of its investments in options contracts that reference MSTR, COIN, PLTR, NVDA, or TSLA. Investing in Bitcoin exposes investors significant risks that are not typically present in other investments. Please see prospectus for full information.

The prospectus relates to the Funds listed above (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). Each Fund seeks to provide the following predetermined outcomes (the “Outcomes”) for an investment that is held for an entire Outcome Period:

(1) the Accelerated Return, which is based on the upside share price return of an underlying security (the “Underlying Stock”) and is subject to the Approximate Cap, and (2) approximately the same downside performance of the Underlying Stock. Please see below for the definitions of key terms.

Outcome Period: A full calendar month (e.g., January 1 - January 31) –

Accelerated Return: Approximately twice the share price increase experienced by the Underlying Stock over the Outcome Period

Approximate Cap: The approximate upside limit on the Accelerated Return during the Outcome Period, which will reset at the start of each Outcome Period

The Fund seeks to provide certain pre-determined outcomes (the “Outcomes”) based on the performance of the share price of the Underlying Stock for investors who hold Fund shares over a full calendar month (the “Outcome Period”). The Outcomes sought by the Fund are:

Approximately twice the share price return of the Underlying Stock (the “Accelerated Return”), up to an approximate upside limit (the “Approximate Cap”), and;

Downside performance that approximately tracks the negative share price return of the Underlying Stock

The Accelerated Return and the Approximate Cap may not operate as anticipated, and investors may lose some or all of their money.

The Outcomes apply only to shares that are held for an entire Outcome Period.

An investor who buys Fund shares after the start of an Outcome Period or who sells shares before the end of an Outcome Period may not fully realize the Accelerated Return and may be exposed to greater losses than that of the Underlying Stock. An investment in the Fund is appropriate only for investors willing to bear those losses.

The Fund does not provide a buffer against losses experienced by the Underlying Stock. An investment in the Fund is appropriate only for investors willing to bear those losses.

The Approximate Cap is provided prior to taking into account any fees or expenses charged to the Fund or shareholder transaction fees. Fees and any expenses will reduce the Approximate Cap amount for Fund shareholders for an Outcome Period.

The Approximate Cap will likely change for each Outcome Period and will be announced at the start of each Outcome Period.

Visit the Funds’ pages on leverageshares.com/us/ for information about the start date and end date of the current Outcome Period, the Approximate Cap for the current Outcome Period and the potential outcomes of an investment in the Funds, including the remaining Approximate Cap.
