Shopify, Palantir, And Applovin Are Among Top Large Cap Gainers Last Week (August 4-August 8): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

U.S.–Russia ceasefire feelers set the backdrop as President Donald Trump&#8217;s surprise gold-bar tariff and broader trade moves met resilient tech earnings, lifting Wall Street after a jobs miss and June inflation uptick, while oil<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> pared losses .</a>
Reports from Washington and Moscow indicate exploratory talks on a Ukraine ceasefire that could formalize some Russian territorial gains, with a Trump–Putin summit under consideration next week.
On trade, President Donald Trump announced a surprise U.S. import tariff on gold bars, a move seen pressuring Switzerland&#8217;s refining industry; the New York futures–spot spread widened to a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/08/46999430/trump-tariffs-gold-switzerland-federal-reserves" rel="noreferrer noopener">record $90/oz as bullion edged 0.1% higher to $3,400/oz.</a>

On the tariff front, Trump&nbsp;doubled duties on Indian imports to 50%, targeting New Delhi&#8217;s purchase and resale<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/market-summary/25/08/47014113/weekly-market-review-apple-trump-tariffs-india-waller" rel="noreferrer noopener"> of Russian crude.</a>
He also confirmed a 39% tariff on Swiss imports and imposed new duties on one-kilogram gold bars, a move that could pressure Swiss gold refineries and disrupt the gold futures market.
After last week&#8217;s declines—sparked by a weaker-than-expected jobs report and a June inflation uptick—<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/magnificent-seven" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wall Street rebounded as earnings momentum remained firm.</a>
In commodities, oil briefly dipped below $64/bbl before paring losses, positioning to end a six-session slide.

Bank of America on APP: Second quarter results were "okay," with a beat driven by gaming, Dessouky said in a new investor note.
"Investor focus shifts squarely to eCommerce ramp," Dessouky said.
The analyst said the third quarter could have "muted upside" and disappoint investors. The analyst said the fourth quarter and next fiscal year could see estimate revisions with the launch of self-serve.
"Nonetheless, APP deserves a significant premium to large-scale online advertising comps because it expects to grow 20-30% Y/Y at a minimum based mobile game advertisers, a market it dominates."
JPMorgan on APP: Carpenter is raising estimates for Applovin after a second quarter that beat estimates and saw third quarter guidance come in ahead of analyst estimates.
"Revenue growth of 9% sequentially came in ahead of the 3-5% guide, but was less upside than prior quarters as mgmt limited onboarding of new e-commerce customers ahead of the self-serve launch," Carpenter said.
The analyst said the highlight from the earnings results was clarity around the self-serve launch strategy.
Applovin plans to launch the self-serve platform for referrals on Oct. 1 with a global launch in the first half of fiscal 2026.
"Advertisers will also be able to buy outside the U.S. for the first time on Oct. 1 and APP plans to leverage paid marketing to recruit new advertisers after the global launch. The paid marketing strategy comes as a surprise."
Carpenter said the self-serve platform is likely to be met with "strong initial demand."
The analyst said Applovin has not proven meaningful scale beyond the gaming sector and there is a risk the company could underperform in a weaker macro environment.
Goldman Sachs on APP: The company's strength of advertising was on display in the second quarter with guidance centered around future product launches, Sheridan said in a new investor note.
The analyst said AppLovin emphasized key areas, including advertising revenue performance, a focus on platform tools for advertisers, and the ability to generate high incremental margins.
"We continue to expect near-term investor debates to be anchored around the trajectory of the eCommerce business scaling in the coming quarters," Sheridan said.
The analyst said it remains to be seen whether Applovin can produce strong growth and margins for ads outside of the gaming landscape.
"We continue to monitor the scaling of the company's platform against the broader advertising shift toward AI enablement."
APP Price Action: Applovin stock is up 13.0% to $441.48 on Thursday versus a 52-week trading range of $66.16 to $525.04. Applovin stock is up 36.7% year-to-date in 2025.

Insights From Analysts:
The Federal Reserve is unlikely to cut interest rates next month because it fears that inflation will creep higher, according to Scott Wren, Senior Global Market Strategist at Wells Fargo.
In a new report, Wren states that Fed Chair Jerome Powell has been adamant that the central bank is uncertain about the inflationary effects of tariffs that are ultimately implemented.
&#8220;The last thing the Fed wants to do is lower interest rates and then have inflation creep higher due to tariffs, or any other reason, forcing the U.S. central bank to backtrack and end up increasing rates,&#8221; Wren writes.
He notes that recent reports show that inflation is already creeping higher. Wells Fargo projects a 3.2% Consumer Price Index (CPI) for 2025, which is above the Fed&#8217;s target and noticeably higher than the 2.7% year-over-year increase through June. A significant part of that projection is due to tariffs.
Despite this, the market is currently putting a high probability on a September rate cut. As of this writing, fed funds futures contracts are reflecting a 98% probability of a cut. However, Wren believes this probability is too high, given that inflation is slowly moving higher and the unemployment rate is still low.
The Fed is also focused on the labor market. Last week&#8217;s July employment report showed a historically low unemployment rate of 4.2%, which Powell has described as &#8220;at or close to full employment.&#8221; While Wren believes the labor market will weaken in the coming months, he acknowledges that it would be difficult to call it &#8220;weak&#8221; at this time.
Wren&#8217;s report concludes with investment recommendations, suggesting that investors trim small-cap allocations and lighten up on the Energy and Communication Services sectors. He favors moving those funds into the Financials, Technology, and Utilities sectors.
Meanwhile, Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman, in a recent Substack post titled "The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/08/46953745/paul-krugman-slams-donald-trump-for-calling-jobs-report-rigged-says-every-accusation-is-a-confessio">Paranoid Style in American Economics</a>," deconstructed the president's claim that the report was "rigged," arguing that "every accusation is a confession." 
Krugman argues that Trump's immediate dismissal of the data and subsequent firing of the BLS commissioner is a predictable pattern of a "paranoid style."
He highlighted a history of right-wing critics rejecting unfavorable economic data, such as "inflation truthers" during the Obama administration.
For Krugman, this behavior is a form of projection, and he had long predicted that an administration of this style would "begin manipulating economic data" as soon as it faced a negative report.

Signal description
Order flow analytics, also known as transaction or market flow analysis, separate and study both the retail and institutional volume rates of orders (flow). It involves analyzing the flow of buy and sell orders, along with size, timing, and other associated characteristics and patterns, to gain insights and make more informed trading decisions. This particular indicator is interpreted as a bullish signal by active traders.&nbsp;
The Power Inflow occurs within the first two hours of the market open and generally signals the trend that helps gauge the stock's overall direction, powered by institutional activity in the stock, for the remainder of the day. This is listed as Large Deal flow on our platform.
By incorporating order flow analytics into their trading strategies, market participants can better interpret market conditions, identify trading opportunities, and potentially improve their trading performance. But let's not forget that while watching smart money flow can provide valuable insights, it is crucial to incorporate effective risk management strategies to protect capital and mitigate potential losses.
