Analysts' Views Ahead of GE Aerospace's Q2 Earnings
Heading into Q2 results, Citi analyst Jason Gursky increased the price target for GE Aerospace stock to $296 from $227 and reiterated a Buy rating. As part of the preview of the Q2 earnings of the aerospace and defense sector, the 5-star analyst stated that he sees continued momentum across the group.
Also, Bernstein analyst Douglas Harned reiterated a Buy rating on GE stock with a price target of $254. The 4-star analyst noted that the investor update planned for June 17th in Paris was canceled in the wake of the Air India 787 crash. Harned added that his expectation for the investor update was that the company would provide some upside to its 2025 guidance and longer-term outlook.
Meanwhile, his discussions with GE, Safran (SAFRY), and Airbus (EADSF) indicated that LEAP Engine deliveries improved significantly in Q2, enabling Airbus to maintain its 820 airplane delivery guidance. That said, only 21 LEAP engine-powered A320 family airplanes were delivered in June, implying that there is a long way to go in the second half. Harned stated that he will seek further clarity on LEAP deliveries. GE has maintained the guidance at a 15% to 20% increase in LEAP engine deliveries for 2025. The analyst expects GE to provide positive commentary on trends for spare parts and maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) activity, which is the largest source of earnings growth for the company. Harned also expects the widebody engine aftermarket to remain strong.

President Trump will reportedly direct regulators to clear any hurdles to investing in crypto and other alternative assets. BTC rose above $120,000 in early trading on July 18 on reports that President Trump is planning to allow crypto in traditional investment accounts. Bold Move Until now, cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin had been barred from 401(k) retirement accounts in the U.S. as they had been deemed too risky. However, President Trump was re-elected last year on a promise to make the U.S. the 'crypto capital of the planet.' Since returning to the White House in January of this year, Trump has enacted several pro-crypto policies. The president himself is a crypto investor.

‘A Make or Break Moment,' Says Top Investor About Palantir Stock
Palantir (NASDAQ:PLTR) stock continues to spark debate among investors. While the company is delivering impressive results, driven by a rapidly expanding client base across both public and private sectors, its soaring valuation has raised eyebrows. PLTR now trades at multiples more than 10–20× above typical software peers, prompting questions about how much higher it can realistically go. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Make smarter investment decisions with TipRanks' Smart Investor Picks, delivered to your inbox every week. That kind of meteoric rise places investors in a tricky predicament – one can admire the company's trajectory yet hesitate to buy in at such elevated levels. Top investor James Foord articulates this tension well, noting that while Palantir's story remains compelling, the narrative could shift dramatically if upcoming earnings fail to meet the market's lofty expectations. 'Stories and sentiment can change, and the next earnings could be the catalyst for this,' explains the 5-star investor, who ranks among the top 2% of TipRanks' stock pros. Yet, for now, the prevailing sentiment remains optimistic. Foord doesn't necessarily foresee an imminent drop. Instead, he emphasizes the market's broader enthusiasm around Palantir and argues that the company could eventually be crowned a member of the 'Magnificent 7' tech elite. Foord attributes much of Palantir's rise to a potent combination of factors: 'larger-than-life' leadership, a promising tech stack, and the broader AI boom that has fueled investor excitement across the sector. As Morgan Housel famously put it, 'the best story wins,' and Palantir is a textbook case. Its secretive government contracts, ambitious AI platform (AIP), and aura of mystery give the stock an almost mythic appeal. But that same opacity is a double-edged sword. If AIP's value is overestimated or rivals catch up, the story could unravel quickly, especially as operating margins, currently around 44%, may already be peaking. Even a modest slip in profitability could shake investor confidence. Is now a good time to invest in Palantir stock? Foord believes the upside outweighs the risk, despite acknowledging the high-stakes nature of the bet. 'The big upside potential is taking center stage, but there's also a big downfall potential for Palantir if the AI darling falls out of favor,' he concludes, while maintaining his Buy rating on the stock. (To watch Foord's track record, click here) Meanwhile, Wall Street is taking a more cautious stance. With 10 Hold ratings, 3 Buys, and 3 Sells, analysts give PLTR a consensus Hold (i.e. Neutral) rating. Moreover, the average 12-month price target of $104.85 suggests a potential downside of ~32% from current levels.
