Evotec SE Adjusts Revenue Guidance while Confirming Profit Guidance
For the current fiscal year, the Company expects Group revenues in the range of
€760-800m (previously: € 840 - 880 m; 2024: € 797.0 m);
R&D expenditures are expected in a range of €40 - 50 m (unchanged; 2024: € 50.8 m);
Adjusted EBITDA is expected to reach €30-50m (unchanged; 2024: € 22.6 m).
The primary reasons for the refined guidance are a change in the revenue mix and significant cost savings in excess of initial targets set during the Priority Reset. Technology licensing - a key pillar of Evotec's strategic repositioning - is expected to make a stronger contribution. At the same time, the Shared R&D base business is expected to continue to operate in a challenging market environment in the second half of 2025. Group revenues were below expectations in H1 2025, while adjusted EBITDA was broadly in line with expectations. Actions are underway to transform the business towards sustainable profitable growth.

Why Is Wall Street Obsessed With AI (Artificial Intelligence) Leader Palantir?
Key Points Palantir stock trades at an astronomical P/E ratio. Investors see a huge growth opportunity in this relatively small company. 10 stocks we like better than Palantir Technologies › Investors have gone wild over data analysis company Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR). Palantir stock has already more than doubled this year, and it's up nearly 1,500% over the past three years. It continues to rise despite an astronomical valuation that also keeps climbing. At today's price, it's trading at a price-to-earnings ratio of 660. Here's why investors are keep pushing it higher. Niche AI services Artificial intelligence (AI) is the biggest trend in the markets today, and with so many companies providing exposure to it in different ways, it can be challenging to parse the best AI stocks to buy. What appeals to many investors are huge growth opportunities and technology that provides a moat. That's where Palantir comes in. Some of the large AI companies like Nvidia and Amazon are already so big that it's debatable how much bigger they can get. Stocks generally move on growth, and the larger the foundation, the harder it is to increase it in percentages. Finding a younger company with growth prospects that can still move the needle can be much more attractive to growth investors. Palantir provides an AI platform that organizes data, connecting data from different places to simplify complex operations. Its original product was built for government clients, but it now has a product for commercial use as well, which is growing quickly. Its government and defense contracts give it stability and create a high barrier to entry, while the commercial platform in the U.S. is growing at a faster pace -- up 71% year over year in the 2025 first quarter, outpacing total company revenue growth of 39%. As more companies see the benefits of using AI, this segment has a long growth runway. With total company revenue of only $3.1 billion over the trailing 12 months, Palantir could continue to enjoy high and profitable sales growth for many years, with a stock gain to match. That's something for investors to get excited about. Should you invest $1,000 in Palantir Technologies right now?

1 Reason Wall Street Is Obsessed With SoundHound AI
Key Points SoundHound AI grabbed Wall Street's attention last year thanks to its partnership with Nvidia. The companies are teaming up on voice-controlled vehicle technology using Nvidia's Drive platform. Despite its meme stock reputation, SoundHound AI has a serious business model and innovative AI products. 10 stocks we like better than SoundHound AI › Building voice control systems around advanced artificial intelligence (AI) makes SoundHound AI (NASDAQ: SOUN) a promising investment these days. But that's not the whole story. In short, SoundHound AI is the talk of the town (and by "town," I mean Wall Street) because of its tight connection with AI pioneer Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA). Two peas in an AI pod This used to be a pretty obvious thing. SoundHound AI's stock surged sky-high in early 2024 because Nvidia made a small investment in the company's stock. The AI chip giant followed up with not one but two SoundHound AI partnerships. The companies are working together on voice-controlled vehicle features as part of the Nvidia Drive platform. Furthermore, SoundHound AI is working closely with Nvidia to deliver real-time AI responses even if you don't have access to the internet. Nvidia has sold its handful of SoundHound AI shares. Many investors may have forgotten this important connection, but the two projects are still happening. For example, SoundHound AI recently presented new in-car ordering systems that rely on the vehicle's Nvidia-powered AI hardware -- not the fast food restaurant's digital tools. Don't sleep on SoundHound AI's earnings You might have written SoundHound AI off as a pure meme stock in recent months, driven more by social media posts than business prospects. That's a mistake. Sure, SoundHound AI's shares still look a bit pricey after the meme-based shenanigans of 2024, but the company also runs a serious business -- and it can't hurt to have Nvidia as a partner. I expect more details about SoundHound AI's cozy Nvidia connections in next Thursday's second-quarter earnings call. The company has delivered mixed results in recent quarters, with soft revenue growth but plenty of bullish bottom-line surprises. I don't recommend loading up on SoundHound AI's pricey stock ahead of this event, but you could set up a small position just to keep an eye on this promising AI stock in the long run.

If You Bought Only 1 Share of Nvidia at Its IPO, Here's How Many Shares You'd Own Now
Key Points Nvidia's initial public offering (IPO) was on January 22, 1999. The company has executed six stock splits in its 26 years as a public company. Investors who held on to just one share from the IPO would have seen over $85,000 in gains. 10 stocks we like better than Nvidia › Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has dominated stock market discussion over the past couple years, but it's far from a newcomer. The company was founded on April 5, 1993, and it began trading publicly after its initial public offering (IPO) on January 22, 1999. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » Had you bought one share of Nvidia stock at its IPO, you would currently have 480 shares, thanks to the six stock splits it has undergone in that time. Stock-Split Date Amount of the Stock Split June 2000 2-for-1 Sept. 2001 2-for-1 April 2006 2-for-1 Sept. 2007 3-for-2 July 2021 4-for-1 June 2024 10-for-1 Data source: Seeking Alpha. How much money would you have made in that time? Although Nvidia has been on the market for a quarter century, it hasn't always been the high-flying stock that investors have seen over the past few years. That said, had you bought one share of Nvidia at its IPO price of $12.00 per share and held on to it all this time, your investment would be worth $85,378 as of this writing. That works out to just under a 40% compound annual growth rate for your position. It's also worth noting that this rate of return doesn't include Nvidia's dividend, which it initiated in Nov. 2012. Anyone who reinvested their dividends would only have boosted their long-term returns. These are mind-boggling results, and Nvidia seems to have plenty left in the tank as it takes center stage in the growth of artificial intelligence. Should you invest $1,000 in Nvidia right now?
