Risk appetite cooled on Tuesday as investors interpreted the latest batch of corporate earnings as solid but not spectacular, offering a convenient excuse to take profits after strong year-to-date rallies.
Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:PLTR), one of the poster children of this year's AI-fueled rally, slumped more than 7% despite easily beating Wall Street estimates and raising its full-year guidance. Analysts indicated that the stock's 170% surge in 2025 has prompted some sell-the-news behavior.
