Nasdaq is scheduled to report its Q1 2025 earnings on Thursday, April 24, 2025. Revenue is expected to rise by approximately 10% year-over-year to $1.23 billion, with earnings projected at about $0.77 per share, an increase of roughly $0.14 from the same period last year. Several factors have contributed to the company's strong performance in recent quarters, including rising demand for Nasdaq's technology and data solutions, a growing share of recurring and software-based revenue due to a shift toward subscription models, and increased interest in Nasdaq-linked index products.
The company currently holds a market capitalization of $42 billion. Over the past twelve months, it generated $7.4 billion in revenue, achieved $1.9 billion in operating profits, and posted net income of $1.1 billion. For investors seeking upside with lower volatility than individual stocks, the Trefis High-Quality portfolio may offer a compelling alternative—it has outperformed the S&P 500 and delivered returns of over 91% since inception.

A potentially lower-risk strategy (though it depends on correlation strength) involves assessing the relationship between short- and medium-term post-earnings returns, identifying the strongest correlation, and placing a trade accordingly. For instance, if there is strong correlation between 1D and 5D returns, a trader might go 'long' for the next 5 days following a positive 1D return. Below is correlation data based on both 5-year and 3-year historical observations. The term 1D_5D refers to the correlation between one-day post-earnings returns and the subsequent 5-day returns.

The Nasdaq Composite closed lower by 0.5%, while the Dow Jones remained flat. Those moves came after the May consumer price index (CPI) rose less than expected. The report showed inflation rising by 0.1% month-over-month (MoM) and 2.4% year-over-year. That was less than the Dow Jones forecast of 0.2%. Meanwhile, core CPI, which excludes the often-volatile food and energy prices, rose 0.1% MoM.

‘A Multibagger Potential,' Says Investor About Palantir Stock
Few stocks in the AI space have captured investor attention quite like Palantir (NASDAQ:PLTR). With strong revenue growth, solid profit margins, and a growing roster of loyal clients, the company has become a force to watch. Its share price has skyrocketed by roughly 472% over the past year, driven by a wave of enthusiasm. Confident Investing Starts Here: Easily unpack a company's performance with TipRanks' new KPI Data for smart investment decisions Receive undervalued, market resilient stocks right to your inbox with TipRanks' Smart Value Newsletter What sets Palantir apart isn't just performance – it's the crowd behind the rally. Retail investors now own more than 40% of the stock, a far higher share than seen in tech giants like Microsoft (23%), Nvidia (29%), or Amazon (26%). That unusual ownership mix hasn't gone unnoticed. One investor, known by the pseudonym The Alpha Analyst, remarked: 'Palantir stands out for its unusually high retail ownership among mega caps, creating both volatility risks and a rerating opportunity as institutions accumulate.' According to Alpha Analyst, that shift may already be underway. The investor notes that institutional investors were largely sidelined during Palantir's IPO due to structural limitations, such as the dual-class voting shares favoring CEO Alex Karp. Combined with the stock's rapid run-up, these factors initially tempered institutional appetite. However, as the company matures and demand for AI-driven platforms continues to climb, Alpha Analyst believes that more institutions will begin building positions, providing a potential second wave of momentum for the stock. It's not just this restructuring that could push PLTR shares higher. There are also ample opportunities for Palantir to grow its business: attracting 'stickier' government and enterprise clients, capitalizing on its established defense and intelligence capabilities, and expanding its international footprint. Of course, the valuation question looms large, as the share price has been consistently trending skyward. The Alpha Analyst appreciates these concerns – 'it would be good (always is) to be able to buy Palantir at better valuations' – but nevertheless believes that there is no time like the present. 'Given the long-term multibagger potential even at these levels, and the structural strength of the rally, waiting will not be ideal advice,' concludes Alpha Analyst, who obviously rates PLTR a Buy. (To watch The Alpha Analyst's track record, click here) Wall Street, while of mixed opinions, is by and large happy to wait. With 3 Buy, 11 Hold, and 4 Sell recommendations, PLTR carries a Hold (i.e., Neutral) consensus rating. Its 12-month average price target of $101.06 implies a downside of ~25% from current levels.

Asian shares are mixed as markets shrug at latest China-US trade deal
TOKYO -- Asian shares were trading mixed early Thursday after Wall Street's rally stalled as investors appeared not to react much to the results of the latest round of China-U.S. trade talks. U.S. futures slipped and oil prices slipped. Japan's Nikkei 225 lost 0.5% to 38,213.20. Hong Kong's Hang Seng sank 0.5% to 24,234.80, while the Shanghai Composite index edged 0.1% lower to 3,404.66. In South Korea, the Kospi gained 0.8% to 2,929.94, while Australia's S&P/ASX 200 edged 0.1% higher to 8,604.50. Taiwan's Taiex lost 0.8%. On Wednesday, the S&P 500 fell 0.3% to 6,022.24 for its first loss in four days. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was virtually unchanged at 42,865.77 after edging down by 1 point. The Nasdaq composite slipped 0.5% to 3,400.30. All told, the S&P 500 fell 16.57 points to 6,022.24. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 1.10 to 42,865.77, and the Nasdaq composite sank 99.11 to 19,615.88. Several Big Tech stocks led the way lower, and a 1.9% drop for Apple was the heaviest weight on the market. It's been listless this week after unveiling several modest upcoming changes to the software that runs its devices. The action was stronger in the bond market, where Treasury yields eased after a report suggested President Donald Trump's tariffs are not pushing inflation much higher, at least not yet. U.S. consumers had to pay prices for food, gasoline and other costs of living that were 2.4% higher overall in May than a year earlier. That was up from April's 2.3% inflation rate, but it wasn't as bad as the 2.5% that Wall Street was expecting. A fear has been that Trump's wide-ranging tariffs could ignite an acceleration in inflation, just when it had seemed to get nearly all the way back to the Federal Reserve's 2% target from more than 9% three summers ago. It hasn't happened, though economists warn it may take months more to feel the full effect of Trump's tariffs. Trump said Wednesday that China will supply rare-earth minerals and magnets to the United States, while his government will allow Chinese students into U.S. universities in a deal that still needs an agreement by him and by China's leader. Trump also said that 'President XI and I are going to work closely together to open up China to American Trade. This would be a great WIN for both countries!!!' Investors are still hoping for a more sweeping trade deal that would ease tensions between the world's two largest economies. Hopes for such deals between the United States and countries around the world have been one of the main reasons the S&P 500 has charged nearly all the way back to its all-time high after dropping roughly 20% below a couple months ago. Without them, the fear is that Trump's high tariffs could drive the economy into a recession while pushing inflation higher. The S&P 500 is now sitting 2% below its record. Tesla swung between gains and losses before finishing with a rise of 0.1% to continue its shaky run. It's been recovering much of its big losses taken last week after Elon Musk's relationship with Trump imploded, which in turn raised fears about a loss of business for the electric-vehicle company. Musk on Wednesday backed away from some of his earlier comments and said they went 'too far.' In the bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury eased to 4.41% from 4.47% late Tuesday. Shorter-term yields, which more closely track expectations for what the Fed will do with overnight interest rates, fell more. Wednesday's better-than-expected reading on inflation raised expectations along Wall Street that the Fed could cut its main interest rate at least twice by the end of the year. In other dealings early Thursday, U.S. benchmark crude oil lost 33 cents to $67.82 per barrel. Brent crude, the international standard, shed 37 cents to $69.40 per barrel. The U.S. dollar slipped to 143.89 Japanese yen from 144.60 yen. The euro rose to $1.1520 from $1.1487.
