Palantir Slides, Hims Rises, Constellation Jumps on Nuclear Deal Plans

On this episode of Stock Movers:

- Palantir Technologies (PLTR) shares slid by the most in nearly a year after its financial results and projections failed to live up to investors’ lofty expectations. The company described rising demand for artificial intelligence software as a “ravenous whirlwind” and bumped its 2025 revenue forecast on Monday to about $3.9 billion from about $3.75 billion. But even a solid earnings results beat and the raised outlook wasn’t enough to justify the stock’s high valuation and extend its massive year-to-date gain. Palantir’s shares tanked by as much as 14.9% to $105.32, the lowest intraday price since May 7, 2024. The stock was still up 41% for the year.

- Hims & Hers Health Inc. (HIMS) reiterated its 2025 revenue forecast after posting better-than-expected sales for the first quarter, raising questions about the future as it shifts from making copycat weight-loss drugs to selling discounted versions of Novo Nordisk A/S’s blockbuster Wegovy. Hims’ business got a boost when branded weight-loss drugs were in short supply and a regulatory loophole allowed it to sell less expensive compounded versions of drugs like semaglutide, a chemical name for Wegovy. Those shortages have since resolved and now the telehealth company is finding a new lane by also selling branded drugs at a discount.

- Constellation Energy (CEG) surged after it said it is on the verge of signing long-term deals to provide nuclear energy that could meet unrelenting demand to run data centers and factories. Shares climbed 12% as Chief Executive Officer Joe Dominguez said on an earnings call that the agreements bolster the case for Constellation’s pending $16.4 billion deal for Calpine, which would give Constellation the largest fleet of US power stations. Power consumption in the US is expected to grow almost 16% over the next five years, driven by data centers running artificial intelligence operations, as well as the electrification of homes and cars and a shift away from fossil fuels in manufacturing. That’s created new life for old nuclear plants, with a deal to reopen Three Mile Island as the most high-profile example.
