• PLTR (~$130, market cap ~$312B) — Volatile amid AI rotation. Revenue growing 70%+ YoY. Analyst consensus target of $185.25 implies ~42% upside. Benefiting from Gartner forecast that 40% of enterprise apps will integrate AI agents in 2026 (up from 5% in Aug 2025).

Macro Context:

• Tariff escalation: China's 34% retaliatory tariffs on all US goods (response to "Liberation Day" measures) sent Nasdaq down 5.4% on April 6. A 10% global baseline tariff remains until July 24, with threats to increase to 15%.
• AI exemptions: AI-related imports face a lower effective tariff rate (4.5%) vs non-AI goods (12.1%), partially shielding chipmakers.
• 25% tariff on AI chip imports hitting startups hardest — large tech companies absorbing costs better.
• Valuations stretched: Market entered 2026 at its 2nd-priciest level in 155 years (Shiller P/E above 40).

👀 Watch Today:

• IONQ — Trading near $30, far below $67.67 analyst target. With 429% revenue growth and quantum computing tailwinds, any positive catalyst could trigger a sharp move. High-volatility name.
• SOUN — Down 33% YTD but analysts project 115%+ upside. Healthcare and enterprise AI agent adoption (Gartner's 40% estimate) could be a near-term catalyst. Watch for customer win announcements.
