TLDR

PALANTIR EXECUTIVES CASH OUT → 📉 Palantir (PLTR) execs, including CEO Alex Karp, sold nearly $115M in stock just as shares hit new highs—because nothing says confidence like cashing out at the top.

APPLE TARIFF THREAT HITS HARD →  📱 Trump warned Apple (AAPL) to bring iPhone production to the U.S. or face a 25% tariff—sending AAPL shares lower and Wall Street into calculator mode.

Palantir Executives Cash Out

📉 Palantir (PLTR) CEO Alex Karp sold over $50 million in shares this week, part of a broader selloff by top execs, including CTO Shyam Sankar and President Stephen Cohen, who offloaded $21M and $43.5M, respectively.

📊 The sales were tied to automatic tax withholdings on vested stock units, not a signal of internal panic—but they come just as Palantir stock surged 62% YTD, outperforming tech peers.

🧠 Despite global growth worries, Palantir remains bullish on AI and federal contracts under Trump’s tech-focused government overhaul. Karp’s message to investors? “Ride along—or don’t.”

Apple Tariff Threats Hit Hard

📱 Trump threatened a 25% tariff on iPhones made outside the U.S., warning Apple (AAPL) it must manufacture domestically or pay up. Shares dipped nearly 2% as the post reignited trade tension.

💰 Analysts estimated U.S.-made iPhones could cost up to $3,500. Apple has been shifting production to India, hoping to dodge trade fallout—but Trump isn’t buying it.

📦 The tariff threat comes amid broader calls from Trump for more U.S. precision manufacturing. With tariffs looming and China sales cooling, Apple faces pressure on multiple fronts.
