<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/alibaba" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chinese e-commerce juggernaut</a> Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) is intensifying its efforts in China&#8217;s fiercely competitive instant delivery market by launching a new 100-day Super Saturdays campaign under its Taobao Shangou brand.
This initiative, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.scmp.com/tech/big-tech/article/3318125/alibaba-delivers-80-million-orders-1-day-amid-fierce-price-war-meituan-jdcom?module=perpetual_scroll_1_RM&amp;pgtype=article" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> by SCMP on Tuesday, aims to significantly boost daily order volumes and draw users away from formidable rivals like Meituan (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPNGF#OTC">MPNGF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPNGY#OTC">MPNGY</a>) and JD.com (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>).
Through &#8220;Super Saturdays,&#8221; consumers can receive substantial subsidies, up to 188 Chinese yuan (approximately $26), on inexpensive items such as milk tea and breakfast.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46387027/alibaba-bleeds-billions-as-delivery-price-war-erases-100-billion-in-market-value" rel="noreferrer noopener">Alibaba Bleeds Billions As Delivery Price War Erases $100 Billion In Market Value</a>
This strategic move comes amidst an escalating price war that has seen competitors employ equally aggressive tactics. Meituan, for instance, has been distributing complimentary milk tea through coupons, while JD.com has been offering nightly crayfish meals at a fixed, remarkably low price.
Adding to the intensity, Taobao itself rolled out a 50 billion yuan subsidy plan on July 2, which quickly prompted counter-announcements from its rivals.
Analysts say Alibaba&#8217;s deep pockets give it a firm footing to challenge rivals, though Meituan remains the market leader in scale and efficiency.
On July 11, Meituan&#8217;s daily instant retail order volume reached an impressive 150 million, nearly double Taobao Shangou&#8217;s 80 million.
According to Bank of China International, Meituan will likely hold its lead through 2025 and could sustain flat operating profits even if aggressive price-cutting continues through year-end.
Despite the heavy discounting and the &#8220;burn money&#8221; strategies employed by these companies, analysts remain optimistic about the long-term potential of the instant commerce sector in China.
The Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation, as cited by SCMP, projects that China&#8217;s instant commerce market is poised to exceed 2 trillion yuan ($279 billion) by 2030.
However, a recent report from JPMorgan Chase issued a cautionary note, suggesting that the share prices of Alibaba, Meituan, and JD.com could remain under pressure for the next three to six months.
This outlook is attributed to uncertainties surrounding profit margins and the sustainability of these extensive promotional campaigns.
Bridgewater Associates grew more optimistic about Chinese stocks after Beijing&#8217;s stimulus measures lifted its onshore China fund by 14% in the first half of the year, Bloomberg <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-15/bridgewater-grows-more-bullish-on-china-stocks-after-14-return?sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> on Tuesday.
In a second-quarter investor letter, the firm&#8217;s China unit said it had &#8220;moderately increased&#8221; its equity exposure as of June 30, citing strong policy support and attractive valuations.
Bridgewater credited China&#8217;s swift April response to market declines, triggered by U.S. tariffs, with helping stabilize equities and bonds.
The firm added that low valuations still offer solid risk-reward potential and plans to raise exposure to risk assets amid ongoing government support.

Alibaba Intensifies Instant Delivery Fight With New Campaign

U.S. stock futures swung between gains and losses on Wednesday after ending on a mixed note on Tuesday. Futures of major benchmark indices were mixed.
President Donald Trump unveiled what he described as a &#8220;landmark&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/07/46434093/trump-says-hes-finalized-the-trade-deal-with-indonesia-touts-orders-for-50-boeing-jets-will-china-face-tougher-times-ahead">trade pact with Indonesia</a>, providing U.S. businesses with access to the Southeast Asian country, while securing significant agreements for American aviation and energy firms. 
Markets were also assessing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/07/46430675/trump-powell-june-inflation-fed-rate-cuts">Tuesday&#8217;s CPI report</a>, showing inflation accelerated in June. In recent months, Jerome Powell has consistently resisted political pressure to lower interest rates, maintaining a wait-and-see approach amid growing uncertainty from rising tariffs. 
Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.48% and the two-year bond was at 3.95%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 97.4% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its July meeting.

Cues From Last Session:
On Tuesday, information technology stocks defied the broader market downturn, closing higher, while financial, materials, and healthcare stocks recorded the most significant losses.
U.S. stocks settled mixed, influenced by a mixed bag of earnings from major banks.
In contrast, the Nasdaq 100 surged to new record highs, breaking past the 23,000 mark, powered by a sharp rally in Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and other chipmakers.
Wells Fargo &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) reported better-than-expected second-quarter adjusted EPS, and JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) also reported upbeat second-quarter earnings.
Economic data showed U.S. inflation accelerating for a second consecutive month, with the headline consumer price index rising 2.7% year-over-year in June, the highest since February and in line with expectations.
However, core inflation, excluding food and energy, came in slightly below forecasts at 2.9%, against an expected 3.0%.
The Dow Jones index ended 436 points or 0.98% lower at 44,023.29, whereas the S&amp;P 500 index fell 0.40% to 6,243.76. Nasdaq Composite advanced 0.18% to 20,677.80, and the small-cap gauge, Russell 2000, also tumbled 1.99% to end at 2,205.05.

Insights From Analysts:
Louis Navellier said that the &#8220;Wall Street has finally figured out that this is how President Trump negotiates, namely by making the other side increasingly uncomfortable,&#8221; citing that stock market is largely ignoring the latest tariff news, such as 30% tariffs on the European Union (EU) and Mexico, and a whopping 50% on Brazil on Aug. 1st.
He added that &#8220;the CPI report is not a market mover, so the Producer Price Index (PPI) on Wednesday should provide more insight, especially any tariff impact on wholesale goods prices.&#8221;
Meanwhile, Ed Yardeni highlighted that the CPI report for June suggests that inflation is no longer declining toward the Fed&#8217;s 2.0% target. Instead, it might continue to hover around 3.0% for a while, as it has recently.
&#8220;Trump&#8217;s tariffs may be a contributing factor, though their impact remains debated. The core CPI inflation rate upticked to 2.9% last month, hinting that the core PCED inflation rate (at 2.7% in May) might have followed a similar trend.&#8221;
&#8220;The June CPI report reinforces the FOMC&#8217;s cautious stance,&#8221; Yardeni added.
Although Trump&#8217;s tariffs may not yet be significantly driving inflation, they appear to be contributing to inflation stalling at around 3.0%, supporting the FOMC&#8217;s hesitation to lower the FFR, he explained.

President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;is reportedly set&nbsp;to sign an executive order&nbsp;that would make it easier for U.S. retirement plans to invest in private-market assets.
What Happened:&nbsp;The executive order, expected to be signed in the next few days, would direct the Labor Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission to issue guidance for employers and plan administrators on incorporating investments such as private assets into 401(k) plans, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/investing/trump-executive-order-to-help-open-up-401-k-s-to-private-markets-c90c6788?">reported</a>&nbsp;the Wall Street Journal.
The order is still under review and its details are not yet final. If implemented, it could potentially allow large private asset managers such as Apollo Global Management (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APO#NYSE">APO</a>) and Blackstone (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BX#NYSE">BX</a>) to tap into the significant retirement savings held by workers without traditional pensions.
Although some retirement plan sponsors already allocate funds to private investments, many remain wary of potential employee lawsuits stemming from the higher fees tied to private-market products.
Industry executives believe that additional steps, such as action by Congress, will be needed to make companies more comfortable with including private-asset funds in employees&#8217; retirement plans.
Private-market fund managers have been urging the Trump administration to relax rules to allow easier inclusion of their products in retirement portfolios. Firms such as Apollo and State Street (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STT#NYSE">STT</a>) have already launched target-date funds that incorporate a private-markets component.

Why It Matters: In May, the Financial Times reported that the Trump administration was considering a potential directive involving private funds in 401(k) retirement plans.
The move to open 401(k)s to private markets comes amid increasing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/07/46372518/the-super-rich-have-a-new-favorite-alternative-investment-hint-its-not-cryptocurrency">interest in</a> private-market investments and reports of the world&#8217;s super-rich have shown a growing affinity for private credit offerings.
However, the decision to offer private equity as an investment option in workplace retirement plans has been met with criticism. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass) has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/07/46391778/elizabeth-warren-grills-retirement-giant-empower-over-private-equity-in-401k-plans-how-you-would-shield-plan-participants">challenged Empower</a>, a major retirement plan provider, over its decision to include private equity investments for their employees.
Despite the criticism, Empower CEO Ed Murphy has defended the move, likening it to the introduction of 401(k) plans decades ago and emphasizing the importance of making private markets more accessible.

Trump Set To Sign Executive Order To Unlock 401(k) Access For Private Equity Giants Like Blackstone, Apollo: Report

On Tuesday, White House AI czar David Sacks weighed in on the growing rift between President Donald Trump and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk, expressing hope for a future reconciliation.
What Happened: In an interview on CNBC's "Money Movers," Sacks addressed the public fallout between Trump and Musk, who were once seen as political allies.
"I work for the president, and Elon's a good friend," Sacks said, adding, "I do believe that Elon's objectives politically can be achieved and can best be achieved through the Republican Party. I hope to convince him of that one day."

Why It's Important: The remarks follow Musk's push to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46294492/trump-warned-us-system-is-not-designed-for-third-parties-now-experts-doubt-elon-musks-america-party-will-even-be-ready-by-2026-midterms">form a third party</a>, the "America Party," after a bitter disagreement with Trump over the "One Big Beautiful Bill," a sweeping tax and spending proposal.
Musk slammed the legislation as fiscally reckless, prompting a series of personal attacks from Trump. Musk responded by calling for Trump's impeachment and referencing unsubstantiated ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
The tech mogul <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45877591/elon-musk-says-he-regrets-war-of-words-with-trump-went-too-far">later apologized</a> and deleted certain comments. However, the ongoing feud between the two is far from over.
Once a prominent supporter of Trump's 2024 campaign, Musk's political ambitions have alarmed investors and drawn sharp criticism from Wall Street analysts. Dan Ives of Wedbush warned that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46288776/ross-gerber-slams-joke-tesla-board-as-elon-musk-returns-to-politics-dan-ives-says-musk-cannot-start-own-political-party-and-remain-ceo">Musk can't lead Tesla</a> while launching a political movement.
The escalating feud has potentially wide-ranging implications. Trump's administration has signalled <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46434613/elon-musks-tesla-could-face-stricter-oversight-as-trumps-nhtsa-pick-targets-autonomous-driving-cannot-sit-back">tougher oversight for autonomous</a> vehicle technologies, a move that could hit Tesla's Full Self Driving and Robotaxi initiatives.
Trump's pick for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Jonathan Morrison, is expected to testify in the Senate in favor of tighter regulation.
Additionally, budget cuts proposed by the Trump administration could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46385263/tesla-rival-rivian-could-lose-a-major-revenue-stream-due-to-a">slash key revenue</a> streams for EV makers, including zero-emission vehicle credits.
Despite the tensions, Sacks suggested a path back. "I hope there'll be a reconciliation," he said. "They were once very good friends, and I hope they will be again."
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings indicate that Tesla maintains an upward trend over the medium and long term, though it's showing a short-term decline. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">More detailed performance data is available here</a>.

David Sacks Says He Hopes To 'Convince' Elon Musk To Return To GOP As Trump Feud Escalates: 'They Were Once Very Good Friends'

A survey has found that a significant majority of organizations using Oracle Corp.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) Java have been audited in the past three years. This has led to a surge in the migration to open-source Java, with many users expressing dissatisfaction with Oracle&#8217;s pricing model.
What Happened: A survey of 500 IT asset managers at organizations using Oracle Java found that 73% have undergone audits within the past three years, <a href="https://www.theregister.com/2025/07/15/oracle_java_users_audited/">reported</a> The Register. 
A survey by market research firm Dimensional Research revealed that only 14% of Oracle Java users plan to continue using the company's subscription model. This move is an attempt to avoid the high costs and risks associated with Oracle&#8217;s development and runtime environments.
Oracle launched a paid subscription for Java in September 2018, and in January 2023, shifted to a per-employee pricing model — a move that led to significant cost increases for many users. By July 2023, Gartner reported that some customers saw their licensing costs rise by two to five times under the new structure.

The research was commissioned and authored by the ITAM Forum—an independent organization representing IT asset managers—and Azul, a provider of open-source Java products and services.
The survey also highlighted the high costs and challenges of software audits. A quarter of respondents said complex software setups make tracking usage difficult, while 29% reported struggles managing software data across teams and platforms.
Over half said their organizations spend more than $100,000 annually on licensing non-compliance issues, and 27% spend over $500,000.
Why It Matters: The discontent among Oracle Java users is particularly significant given Oracle&#8217;s recent moves. The company has been investing heavily in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46410415/oracle-to-invest-3-billion-in-ai-and-cloud-infrastructure-expansion-across-germany-netherlands">AI and cloud infrastructure</a> expansion across Europe, including Germany and the Netherlands.
This suggests that Oracle is positioning itself as a major player in the tech industry, making the dissatisfaction of its Java users all the more noteworthy.
Moreover, Oracle&#8217;s co-founder and chairman, Larry Ellison, recently surpassed Mark Zuckerberg to become the world&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46435552/larry-ellison-surges-past-mark-zuckerberg-to-become-worlds-second-richest-person-as-oracles-ai-deals-with-openai-us-government-drive-massive-stock-surge">second-richest person</a>. Ellison&#8217;s wealth surge is partly attributed to Oracle&#8217;s AI deals and the US government, indicating the company&#8217;s growing influence in the tech sector.
Price Action: Oracle ended Tuesday at $234.96, gaining 2.48%, and inched up to $235.36 during pre-market trading, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;1vk85yi&#x2A;_gcl_au&#x2A;OTM4NTEyMjIyLjE3NTE4ODkxNzM.&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;R1MyLjEuczE3NTE4ODk2MDMkbzEkZzAkdDE3NTE4ODk2MDckajU2JGwwJGgw&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;czE3NTI2NTI5ODckbzM4JGcxJHQxNzUyNjU1MDM3JGo2MCRsMCRoMA..">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

This is a 12.93 percent increase over earnings of $3.79 per share from the same period last year.

Mastercard (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MA#NYSE">MA</a>) on Wednesday <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/07/b46434373/elevating-cardholder-experiences-worldwide-with-the-mastercard-collection-and-introduction-of-worl" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced it is launching</a> a new set of benefits called The Mastercard Collection to meet a major shift in how people, especially Americans, want to spend their time and money.
New research from the company shows that consumers are choosing to invest in meaningful experiences with family and friends, rather than buying more stuff.
Mastercard wants to help make those moments easier, more special, and more accessible. With the Mastercard Collection, cardholders can get perks that make going out to eat, traveling, and enjoying live entertainment more rewarding.

That means easier access to hard-to-book restaurants, early ticket sales, better concert and sports seats, and smoother airport experiences.
Mastercard is even adding exclusive dining lounges at select airports to help travelers relax and enjoy good food before they board.
The company is also introducing its most premium card yet, World Legend Mastercard, aimed at higher-spending users who want one-of-a-kind experiences wherever they go.
This new card will be available in the U.S. starting in the third quarter of 2025 and will expand to other countries afterward.
While Mastercard&#8217;s stock has seen a gain of nearly 5% year-to-date, it has slightly underperformed the S&amp;P 100 Index, which includes Mastercard and has risen over 6% during the same period.
This recent performance comes amidst broader shifts in the payments industry. The increasing <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/46017534/as-trump-says-get-it-to-my-desk-for-genius-stablecoin-bill-analysts-warn-of-disruption-to-payment-giants-visa-and-mastercard" rel="noreferrer noopener">adoption of stablecoins</a> and mounting regulatory pressures have begun to exert downward pressure on the stock performance of both Visa (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>) and Mastercard.
Investors have shown caution and are concerned that stablecoins could bypass the traditional payment networks that these companies rely on, potentially impacting their revenues and, subsequently, their share prices.
Furthermore, shares of several payments and fintech companies, including Mastercard, recently experienced a decline after JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46377201/fintech-stocks-slip-as-jpmorgan-plans-data-access-fees-but-affirm-defies-the-trend" rel="noreferrer noopener">unveiled plans last week</a> to implement substantial fees for accessing customer bank account data.
The announcement has sparked concerns across the industry about rising data costs and potential disruptions to digital payment services.
Price Action:&nbsp;Mastercard shares closed down 0.48% at $550.36 on Tuesday.

Mastercard Launches New Benefits, Ultra-Exclusive Card For High Spenders

Ronnie Chatterji, Chief Economist at OpenAI and a former senior economic adviser in both the Biden and Obama administrations, is focusing on equipping his children with four essential skills for a future dominated by artificial intelligence
What Happened: According to a Business Insider <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/openai-economist-teaching-kids-4-skills-to-prepare-for-ai-2025-7">report</a>, Chatterji, who has previously held senior economic policy positions in the Biden and Obama administrations, is emphasizing the importance of critical thinking, adaptability, emotional intelligence, and financial numeracy.
Chatterji believes that these skills will be vital for the future workforce, especially as AI begins to take over technical skills like coding. He also spends a significant amount of time predicting which jobs will be most affected by AI.

Ronnie Chatterji, in an episode of the OpenAI podcast, stated, &#8220;You&#8217;ve gotta learn how to be a critical thinker and identify problems.&#8221;
Why It Matters: Chatterji&#8217;s emphasis on these skills aligns with the growing concern about the impact of AI on the job market. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46380955/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-warns-ai-could-replace-jobs-if-innovation-stalls-if-the-world-runs-out-of-ideas">Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang recently warned</a> that the increasing use of AI could lead to job losses if industries fail to innovate.
The rise of AI has been a topic of concern for several years. In June, economist Craig Shapiro warned that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/06/46093421/ai-will-disrupt-25-of-us-jobs-by-2030-and-the-fed-cant-save-them-economist-warns">AI&#8217;s structural impact on employment</a>, particularly in white-collar sectors, renders traditional monetary policy ineffective, urging a shift toward fiscal and regulatory solutions.
In May, Aneesh Raman, LinkedIn&#8217;s chief economic opportunity officer, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45613320/ai-is-gutting-entry-level-jobs-and-gen-z-is-paying-the-price-warns-linkedins-aneesh-raman">described how AI is rapidly transforming entry-level work</a>, leaving Gen Z job seekers at risk. These warnings from industry leaders highlight the urgency of preparing the next generation for a world heavily influenced by AI.

OpenAI Chief Economist Ronnie Chatterji Shares 4 Must-Have Skills For Kids To Thrive In The Age Of AI

Dutch semiconductor company, ASML Holding NV (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>), warned investors that its growth outlook for 2026 is now under a cloud, citing rising macroeconomic uncertainties and escalating trade tensions.
Check out the current price of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ASML" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ASML stock here.</a>
What Happened: During the company&#8217;s second quarter results on Wednesday, ASML&#8217;s CEO, Christophe Fouquet, said <a href="https://www.asml.com/en/news/press-releases/2025/q2-2025-financial-results">in</a> a statement, &#8220;while we still prepare for growth in 2026, we cannot confirm it at this stage,&#8221; citing growing uncertainties driven by macroeconomic and geopolitical developments.
He adds that the fundamentals of AMSL&#8217;s key AI customers remain strong, but acknowledges the growing threat of tariffs.

&#8220;Tariffs on new systems and parts going into the U.S., as well as reciprocal measures from other countries, could impact our gross margin,&#8221; Fouquet says.
The company, nonetheless, witnessed strong bookings during the quarter, at $6.4 billion, compared to consensus estimates at $5.6 billion, according <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-16/asml-orders-beat-expectations-after-ai-investment-fuels-demand">to</a> a report by Bloomberg. 
Its forecast for third quarter sales, however, estimated between $8.6 billion and $9.2 billion, fell short of analyst consensus estimates.
Why It Matters: While <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44631606/trumps-tariff-exemptions-include-semiconductors-pharmaceuticals-oil-and-more">semiconductors were exempt</a> from President Donald Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; tariffs, there is a lot of uncertainty surrounding chipmaking equipment. 
During its second quarter results, ASML posted $8.9 billion in sales, ahead of consensus estimates at $8.7 billion, with a profit of $2.66 billion, against estimates at $2.37 billion. 
Price Action: Shares of ASML were up 2.02% on Tuesday, trading at $823.02, but are now down 7.10% after hours, following its second quarter results.

Trump's Tariff Threat Casts Shadow Over ASML's 2026 Growth Plans, Despite Strong Q2, AI Momentum

Palantir (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>)&nbsp;has come under fire for its alleged involvement in aiding President Donald Trump&#8216;s immigration crackdown and the Israeli military. 
What Happened: On Monday, demonstrators in multiple U.S. cities, including New York, Seattle, and Palo Alto, protested against Palantir&#8217;s collaboration with ICE, which they claim is facilitating the Trump administration&#8217;s immigration crackdown. The company&#8217;s work with the Israeli military was also a point of contention,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.democracynow.org/2025/7/15/doge_20">reported</a>&nbsp;Democracy Now!.
Check out the current price of&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.com/quote/PLTR" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">PLTR stock here</a>.
At least four people were arrested in New York after protesters blocked the entrance to Palantir&#8217;s Manhattan offices. The &#8220;Purge Palantir&#8221; campaign, as it&#8217;s called, is a response to the company&#8217;s data mining, surveillance, and automation tools being used against vulnerable communities.
According to Makena Kelly, a senior writer at Wired, Peter Thiel-backed Palantir and Anduril Industries, alongside several Silicon Valley firms, are capitalizing on the chaos created by the Trump administration&#8217;s cuts to government services and mass deportation efforts to gain lucrative contracts.
Protesters also criticized Palantir&#8217;s contracts with international organizations such as the World Food Programme, UNICEF, Team Rubicon and the CDC Foundation for 10 years, calling for the termination of these contracts due to Palantir&#8217;s alleged human rights violations.

Why It Matters: Palantir&#8217;s growing influence in the global AI space has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/07/46353542/palantir-next-oracle-trump-backed-ai-surge">bolstered </a>by strong government-backed initiatives like Project Stargate under the Trump administration.
