Yawi exits TNC after remarkable one-season stint
Tristan "Yawi" Cabrera and the TNC Pro Team have decided to part ways after a one-season partnership that saw the club emerge from being cellar-dwellers to being a title contender in the recent MPL Philippines Season 15. TNC announced Yawi's departure on Wednesday, following the exits of his former teammates Renejay 'Renejay' Barcarse and John Paul 'H2WO' Salonga, who also left Aurora and Smart Omega, respectively, earlier today. Yawi joined TNC late last year after he wrapped up his overseas stint with MPL Indonesia club Team Liquid. His arrival was a huge boost for TNC, which had encountered struggles in the past seasons before making the playoffs in Season 15, their first since Season 9. TNC, which racked up five wins and nine losses in the regular season, fell to Team Falcons in the first round of the post-season to bow out of contention. —JKC, GMA Integrated News

Is Palantir Stock a Buy, Sell, or Hold on New Nuclear Deal?
Palantir (PLTR) shares remained in focus on Friday as the big data analytics firm said it had partnered with Columbia-headquartered 'The Nuclear Company.' Palantir has teamed up with TNC to develop an AI solution dubbed the Nuclear Operating System (NOS) – designed to streamline and accelerate the construction of U.S. nuclear reactors.

At the time of writing, Palantir stock is up more than 100% versus its year-to-date low. The TNC partnership is a strategic win for Palantir as it marks its first foray into nuclear infrastructure, expanding its artificial intelligence footprint beyond defense and commercial analytics. More importantly, the $100 million agreement aligns PLTR with U.S. energy modernization goals, especially as AI data centers drive a massive increase in electricity demand. 'The Nuclear Company' deal offers another reason to own PLTR shares since it reinforces the Palantir's relevance in national priorities and signals long-term growth potential in a sector poised for rapid expansion. Simply put, teaming up with TNC is a move that strengthens both narrative and fundamentals for Palantir. Despite Palantir's commitment to diversifying its revenue streams, Louie DiPalma – a senior William Blair analyst – recommends treading with caution on the AI stock. In his latest research note, DiPalma reiterated his 'Market Perform' rating on PLTR, citing a $200 million Department of Defense contract that it lost to OpenAI last week. According to him, the development signals rising competition that could stand in the way of PLTR stock replicating its recent outperformance moving forward. Finally, the William Blair analyst, much like many other experts, cited egregious overvaluation for taking a cautious tone on Palantir shares. Note that the big data analytics firm is trading at a forward price-to-earnings multiple of about 390x at the time of writing. DiPalma's peers at several other Wall Street firms agree with his cautious stance on Palantir stock. The consensus rating on PLTR shares also currently sits at 'Hold' only with the mean target of about $105 indicating potential downside of some 20% from current levels.

Soshanguve creative artist to star in Rwandan theatre festival
After a successful run in local theatre showbiz, a 28-year-old is now preparing for a stint to represent South Africa at a Rwandan theatre festival in July. Born and bred in Soshanguve, Block L, the multitalented Phetho Motshabi's creative spark was lit during his teenage years. At the age of 16, Motshabi (better known as PJ designer) discovered his love for art was more than just a phase but a calling. After completing his N6 in fashion at Tshwane North College (TNC), he had his first major breakthrough when he showcased his first runway collection at the prestigious South African State Theatre. 'I have always drawn passion from theatre, and watching theatre shows more often made me pursue performing arts,' said Motshabi. He said he is the first person in his family to take part in the world of art. His passion for dramatic arts became a major turning point in his life, leading him to greener pastures where he landed a role as Michael in the show titled 'Don't Shoot', an international award-winning production written and directed by Busisiwe Mazibuko. Motshabi recalls the challenges he faced in terms of playing the character. The role challenged him emotionally and mentally. 'It was challenging to explore this character as I had to conduct thorough research to find proper details to master this character.' He said that over time, he managed to overcome the challenges and began to understand different methods within the acting world. Motshabi emphasised that his passion to keep going stems from the support he receives from his family, his fans and the community of Soshanguve, as they encourage him with positive remarks. 'Most of the time, people from my community like to say they perceive my emotions when it comes to performing arts. They are saying that watching me performing on the stage makes them tap into my world of emotions.' With his eyes now set on TV and film, Motshabi is currently working on joining an agency and growing his performance career. As both a fashion designer and actor, he has brought dynamic energy to the production team. His contribution to the show has been instrumental on set and behind the scenes, helping to propel the production to award-winning recognition. The production won a Kenyan award and a provincial award for SA theatres. 'Winning the award motivated me to keep on pushing. I believe if you want to achieve something, it is possible. I will not give up because of this wonderful achievement,' he said. He acknowledged his performance at the State Theatre as one of the dear moments he will cherish for the whole of his lifetime. 'For me to have this big experience, it was through hard work and dedication. I was excited to perform in Kenya, Nairobi, as it was my first time travelling to another country.' After a successful run at the theatre, Motshabi is preparing to represent South Africa at a Rwandan theatre festival this July. He encouraged young people who want to follow in his footsteps to focus on what they believe to understand their strength and be passionate about their craft. Motshabi also described his aspirations to do better in his performing arts career. 'I see myself doing wonderful work on TV and films. I see myself receiving many awards, travelling more often to different countries and portraying big characters on international and local TV shows.' Do you have more information about the story?

Palantir Is Defeating Short Sellers. How Should You Play PLTR Stock Here?
Short sellers are conceding defeat as Palantir (PLTR) shares continue to rip through key resistance levels, according to the latest data from S3 Partners. Short interest in the big data analytics firm now stands at 2% only – down significantly from its peak of 5% last year in October, the financial data specialist revealed. Dear Nvidia Stock Fans, Watch This Event Today Closely A $2 Billion Reason to Sell Super Micro Computer Stock Now 3 ETFs Offering Juicy Dividend Yields of 15% or Higher Get exclusive insights with the FREE Barchart Brief newsletter. Subscribe now for quick, incisive midday market analysis you won't find anywhere else. Over the same period, Palantir stock has rallied more than 200%. PLTR shares closed up on Thursday, June 26 after the Denver-headquartered firm announced a $100 million partnership with 'The Nuclear Company' to develop AI tools for U.S. nuclear reactors. Investors are cheering the new partnership as it diversifies Palantir's revenue base beyond defense and commercial analytics – and positions it as a key player in the modernization of U.S. energy infrastructure. Teaming up with TNC reinforces Palantir's relevance in national priorities, potentially boosting investor confidence and supporting the rather elevated valuation tied to PLTR shares at writing. Palantir stock is currently going for a forward price-earnings multiple of an eye-watering 392x. Despite valuation concerns following a meteoric rally in PLTR stock this year, famed investor Jim Cramer remains bullish as ever on the big data analytics firm. The former hedge fund manager expressed his optimism on Palantir as he appeared on CNBC yesterday, saying 'there's a company I know, I think it has an algorithm that spits out what would move a stock.' Cramer is fully convinced that Palantir stock is headed for $200 valuation, which signals potential for another 40% upside from current levels. According to him, the TNC agreement that Palantir announced is significant since it aligns with U.S. energy goals and rising demand from AI-powered data centers. For Wall Street analysts, however, nothing matters more than the enormous forward multiple on PLTR stock at the time of writing. While the company's fundamentals remain strong, concerns of gross overvaluation continue to make them rate Palantir shares at 'Hold' only with the mean target of about $105 indicating potential downside of over 25% from here.

Palantir, TNC to develop AI-driven nuclear construction
Palantir Technologies has forged a strategic partnership with The Nuclear Company (TNC) to develop and deploy Nuclear Operating System (NOS), an AI-driven, real-time software system designed specifically for nuclear construction. Built on Palantir's Foundry platform, NOS seeks to transform the construction of nuclear reactors into a data-driven, predictable process. The nuclear industry, vital for providing clean baseload power and supporting high-paying jobs, has long grappled with projects running over budget and behind schedule. NOS addresses these challenges by simplifying the construction process. 'With NOS, construction teams will receive instantaneous, context-aware guidance — from the availability of certain parts and materials to the weather — that adapts to real-time constraints, so teams can work rather than wait,' the companies stated. The system will also track and verify supply chain components to prevent errors, shortages, and lost documentation, while initiating backup options to mitigate delays. Additionally, NOS leverages real-time data from sensors across construction sites, feeding into a digital twin model to monitor progress with precision. 'By using predictive analytics, teams can spot potential problems early, catching issues before they become expensive mistakes,' the announcement noted. The system also streamlines regulatory compliance, with AI and large language models rapidly reviewing thousands of documents and validating data against regulatory requirements. The partnership is part of Palantir's Warp Speed initiative, with a dedicated engineering team working alongside TNC's staff to integrate data across construction, supply chain, workforce, engineering, and safety systems. Palantir Technologies defence head Mike Gallagher said: 'This partnership marks the first time Palantir's software will be used to help power the next generation of nuclear energy infrastructure. 'By integrating our operating system with The Nuclear Company's ambitious vision, we are laying the foundation for a new era of resilient, intelligent and secure energy systems in the United States and beyond.' The initiative comes at a time when the US lags behind China, which announces 10GW of new nuclear reactors annually compared to the US 2GW build over the past three decades. In late May 2025, US President Donald Trump issued executive orders calling for 400GW of nuclear reactors by 2050 to support America's AI leadership, alongside ten large-scale reactors under construction by 2030. The development of NOS marks a step in applying AI technology to address longstanding inefficiencies in nuclear construction, potentially reshaping the industry's approach to delivering critical energy infrastructure. TNC founder and CEO Jonathan Webb said: 'With Palantir, we have a technology partner who shares our sense of urgency and understands that nuclear isn't just an energy issue — it's a national security imperative. 'NOS is how we finally break the cycle of delays, deliver a new energy future, and protect America's nuclear leadership from China, so we don't lose it like we did [with] manufacturing decades ago.'
