According to the analyst, the company is still in the early innings of capitalizing on artificial intelligence (AI) demand. He noted that the company was experiencing stronger deal flow, with 50% of the logos leveraging Snow for AI cases and 25% of organizations leveraging its AI capabilities on a weekly basis.“SNOW continues to put an emphasis on retrieval quality for AI within Cortex to let users do more with their data early in the data life cycle to bring together data into one unified view to optimize workflows, and optimize efficiencies,” Ives said.Ives believes the company is well-positioned to capitalize on elevated demand for AI use cases over the next 12-18 months.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Analyst Brace For Solid Q3 Print</h2>Ives's ation marked&nbsp; a back-to-back upward price target adjustment for Snowflake.

Apple, Inc.'s (AAPL) efforts to narrow the artificial intelligence (AI) gap with its mega-cap peers faced a further setback as another key AI executive has reportedly left the company.Ke Yang, who was recently appointed as head of Apple's "Answers, Knowledge and Information (AKI) group, has quit and joined Mark Zuckerberg-led Meta Platforms, Inc. (META), Bloomberg's Mark Gurman<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/hpe-stocks-sinks-on-weak-outlook-with-eye-on-higher-growth-businesses/ch6YFy1R3V7">&nbsp;reported</a>, citing people with knowledge of the matter. Gurman first reported about the<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/apple-building-stripped-down-chatgpt-rival-led-by-ex-siri-chief/chrXeJDRdRl">&nbsp;AKI unit</a>&nbsp;in early August, adding that it would work on creating a new ChatGPT-like search experience.&nbsp;The report said Yang was appointed as head of the unit just weeks ago, reporting directly to SVP of AI and machine learning (ML) John Giannandrea. Robby Walker, who previously headed the AKI unit after its setup, quit, according to a separate Bloomberg report published in mid-August, although the executive's LinkedIn bio hasn't reflected the change.What Retail Traders Feel About AAPL StockApple stock is down marginally (-0.08%) so far this year amid worries concerning slow uptake of its flagship iPhone hardware product, stung by a lack of innovative value additions, and macro- and geopolitical challenges.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment toward Apple stock remained 'bearish' as of late Wednesday, and message volume on the stream dropped to 'extremely low' levels. Retail traders on the platform chatted about the company's new products unveiled on Wednesday, including the new MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and Vision Pro, powered by M5 chips. They also took note of the CEO Tim Cook's visit to Beijing and his commitment to increase investment in the country.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:622/53;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_10_16_at_12_27_48_AM_png_433a5d3628.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-10-16 at 12.27.48 AM.png" width="622" height="53"><figcaption>AAPL sentiment and message volume as of 12:25 a.m. ET, Oct. 16 | source: Stockwits</figcaption></figure>Why Yang's Rumored Departure MattersThe AKI team is key to Apple's long-delayed revamped personal assistant, which the company plans to launch in March. The upgraded Siri is widely believed to reinvigorate Apple's artificial intelligence thrust, especially as it lags behind mega-cap rivals such as Meta, Microsoft, Alphabet's Google, and Nvidia.&nbsp;&nbsp;The improved Siri will likely function like a ChatGPT-like large-language model, by extracting information from the web and corporate features, such as the ability to use personal data to handle more complex queries.&nbsp;Apple has seen a steady exit of top AI researchers who were working on the company's foundational models, beginning with Apple Foundation Models head Ruoming Pang. Most of these AI researchers have been tapped by Meta for its Superintelligence lab group that was set up this year to expedite the move toward artificial general intelligence (AGI).What's Next With Apple's AI Initiatives?According to Bloomberg, the AKI team will now be placed under Giannandrea's deputy Benoit Dupin, who is currently overseeing ML-related cloud infrastructure. Wedbush tech analyst Daniel Ives believes the AI monetization piece could add $75 to $100 per share to the Apple story over the coming few years. "We believe no 'AI premium' is factored into Apple's stock at current prices, which makes this a compelling large-cap tech name to own into year-end and 2026," he added.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/hpe-stocks-sinks-on-weak-outlook-with-eye-on-higher-growth-businesses/ch6YFy1R3V7">&nbsp;HPE Stock Sinks After-Hours As Weak Near-Term Outlook Dents Sentiment</a>

The company clarified that the revenue outlook exceeded contributions from Informatica, which it has agreed to acquire in an $8 billion deal. The deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter or in the company’s fiscal year 2027.COO and CFO Robin Washington reportedly&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/10/15/salesforce-stock-jumps-after-company-offers-rosy-forecast-for-2030.html">suggested</a> at the conference that the company’s growth might be picking up pace. “We have had some lower-stage growth for a while,” she said. “That is reaccelerating.” She guided year-over-year (YoY) organic revenue growth to over 10% in each of the fiscal years between now and 2030 from the sub-10% rate seen since 2024.Commenting on the concern that AI services would threaten software companies, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said, “There’s a certain amount of, let’s just say, nonsense that’s out there. Like, for example, that these products are writing all the software, and that is not what’s happening.”On Stocktwits, retail sentiment toward&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/CRM">Salesforce stock</a> shifted to ‘extremely bullish’ by late Wednesday from ‘bullish’ the day before.

CFO Washington reportedly said the company expects to buy back another $7 billion in shares in the next six months.Ahead of the conference, Salesforce announced a slew of AI partnerships with AI startups such as OpenAI and Anthropic, as well as with payment processing firm Stripe and retailer Williams-Sonoma.&nbsp;Even as the company sounded an upbeat tone at the Dreamforce event, its stock received a downgrade from Northland on Tuesday. According to a summary of the note provided by The Fly, the firm downgraded the stock to ‘Market Perform’ from ‘Outperform’ and issued a price target of $264.&nbsp;The firm attributed the downgrade to the non-materialization of its expectations that agentic AI would enable App software makers to charge multiples of their current ARPU and that Salesforce’s AgentForce positioned Salesforce to participate in the projected acceleration. The firm noted that over the past year, the company’s constant currency cRPO growth, a key user metric, has been rangebound between 10% and 11%.Salesforce stock is down about 29% this year.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/johnson-and-johnson-battles-new-uk-talc-cancer-claims-worth-1-b-after-massive-us-verdict-report/ch6YNpzR3V5">Johnson &amp; Johnson Battles New UK Talc Cancer Claims Worth £1B After Massive US Verdict: Report</a>

We’re giving development teams AI that fits how enterprises work, not experimental tools that create new risks,” said SVP, Software at IBM, Dinesh Nirmal.IBM also unveiled a new guide titled “Architecting Secure Enterprise AI Agents with MCP,” verified by Anthropic. This framework introduces the Agent Development Lifecycle (ADLC), which outlines the process of building, deploying, and maintaining AI agents within enterprise environments.&nbsp;IBM stock has gained over 31% year-to-date and over 27% in the last 12 months.&nbsp;Also See:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/datavault-ai-stock-rallies-33-percent-premarket-following-updated-guidance/ch6PaqkR3Wz">Datavault AI Stock Rallies 33% Pre-Market Following Updated Guidance</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

An equity strategist&nbsp;is weighing all his market optimism on third-quarter earnings, thanks to the ongoing momentum seen in artificial intelligence (AI).&nbsp;While appearing on CNBC’s “Fast Money” segment, Wells Fargo Chief Equity Strategist Ohsung Kwon&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PjGOpP5730">said</a> AI matters more to the market than the Fed. The strategist, however, acknowledged the importance of rate cuts in broadening the rally.The strategist noted that in the run-up to the Fed’s September meeting, easing trade happened, with small-cap and homebuilders finding favor among investors. Now that the Fed is officially in an easing cycle, traders are selling the news and rotating back into AI, he added. “I think outside of AI, I'm not really excited about anything,” Kwon said.&nbsp;He believes that for the rally to broaden, the manufacturing purchasing managers’ index (PMI) must exceed 50. “I don’t really see that happening unless rates fall more from here because this has been the most rate-sensitive manufacturing cycle in history,” he added. Wells Fargo forecasts two rate cuts this year and another two next year.Thanks to an AI-fueled rally on the back of AMD’s (AMD) OpenAI deal, the S&amp;P 500 and the major tech indices hit another fresh record. For the year-to-date (YTD) period, the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY)</a>, an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that tracks the S&amp;P 500 Index, and the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/QQQ">Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ)</a> have gained 15.6% and 19.3%, respectively.&nbsp;On Stocktwits, retail traders remained cautious, with the sentiment toward both the SPY and QQQ ETF remaining ‘bearish’ by late Monday. The message volume on the SPY stream remained ‘high,’ while that on the QQQ was at ‘normal’ levels.&nbsp;The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/AIQ">Global X Artificial Intelligence &amp; Technology ETF (AIQ)</a> has gained over 32% for the year, while the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MAGS">Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (MAGS)</a>, which tracks seven mega-cap tech stocks with exposure to AI, has risen 20%.&nbsp;The research firm predicts a 4% earnings beat, on average, for the upcoming reporting season, based on its modeling that analyzed approximately 350 macro variables, led by AI and semiconductor companies. He also said that tariffs didn’t significantly impact the third-quarter results. “I think it's more of a Q4 event and into Q1 because companies carry about 65 days of inventory at the end of Q2, which means that since Aug. 7, their inventories are going to run out in the middle of October to November.”Given his expectations that earnings will grow 11% this year and the next and another 12% in 2027, the strategist predicts low-teens returns for the S&amp;P 500 companies without any multiple growth. Factoring in profits, rates, sentiment and macro, Kwon said the backdrop is positive for equities and the S&amp;P 500 will likely hit 7,200 by year-end 2026.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/dow-nasdaq-100-futures-slip-as-risk-appetite-dips/ch6PGgTR3WI">Dow, Nasdaq 100 Futures Slip As Risk Appetite Dips After 7-Day Rally: Strategist Stays Constructive On Equities</a>

Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR) and private defense technology company Anduril reportedly face serious cybersecurity concerns over their new battlefield communications system, after an internal U.S. Army memo flagged deep weaknesses and urged that the project be handled as “very high risk.”According to a Reuters&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/anduril-palantir-battlefield-communication-system-has-deep-flaws-army-memo-says-2025-10-03/">report</a>, the memo, drafted in September by Army Chief Technology Officer Gabrielle Chiulli,&nbsp;describes the NGC2 (Next Generation Command &amp; Control) prototype as riddled with structural flaws, including uncontrolled user data access and unassessed third-party code.&nbsp;Following the report,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/PLTR">Palantir stock</a> traded 7% lower on Friday morning at the time of writing and was the top-trending equity ticker on Stocktwits. However, retail sentiment around the stock trended in the ‘bullish’ territory amid ‘normal’ message volume levels.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1608/204;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_10_03_at_2_35_36_PM_png_81b848c6c7.webp" alt="PLTR’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 2:35 p.m. ET on Oct. 3, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits" width="1608" height="204"><figcaption>PLTR’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 2:35 p.m. ET on Oct. 3, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>However, according to a recent Bloomberg&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-10-03/palantir-rebuts-claims-of-security-flaws-after-stock-falls">report</a>, Palantir has refuted the claims, stating that the issues have already been rectified. “No vulnerabilities were found in the Palantir platform,” the company said.&nbsp;“The recent report reflects an outdated snapshot, not the current state of the program,” the company said, according to the report. “NGC2 is progressing through the normal process of iterative development. We find risks early, address them quickly, and harden the system before fielding.”Stocktwits users voiced support for the company, stating that&nbsp;NGC2 is merely a prototype.&nbsp;<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Will__G/message/630944310</stembedurl><stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/keegan365/message/630944671</stembedurl>According to the memo, NGC2 allows any authorized user to view all applications and data, irrespective of clearance or operational role. There is no auditing or logging of user actions, and the system lacks controls that distinguish access based on need.&nbsp;The report cited that the memo further warned about embedded third‑party software components that the Army never vetted. One module reportedly contains 25 high-severity flaws, while three more each harbor more than 200 vulnerabilities.&nbsp;In December 2024, the companies launched a new consortium&nbsp;to jointly bid for Pentagon contracts to solve the problems of data readiness and processing data at large scale for national security purposes.&nbsp;Palantir Technologies' stock has gained over 138% year-to-date and over 360% in the last 12 months.&nbsp;Also See:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/rumble-deal-with-perplexity-spurs-over-400-percent-surge-in-retail-investor-chatter-on-stocktwits/chCuV4tR3QO">Rumble’s Deal With Perplexity Spurs Over 400% Surge In Retail Investor Chatter On Stocktwits</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.&nbsp;Editor's Note: The story has been updated to reflect Palantir's response as reported by Bloomberg, the latest Stocktwits metrics, and the stock price movement.
