On August 1, 2025, Fluor Corporation reported its financial results for the second quarter and lowered its full-year guidance. Management attributed the disappointing performance to escalating costs across several infrastructure projects, citing subcontractor design errors, increased material prices, and scheduling delays. Fluor also pointed to a decline in capital spending among customers. These issues had not been previously disclosed, despite earlier affirmations of its full-year outlook. Following this announcement, Fluor shares closed down 27.04% on August 1, 2025.

Are Wall Street Analysts Predicting Super Micro Computer Stock Will Climb or Sink?
San Jose, California-based Super Micro Computer, Inc. (SMCI) develops and manufactures advanced server and storage solutions built on a modular and open architecture. Valued at $33.8 billion by market cap, the company offers servers, storage systems, motherboards, full racks, chassis, and accessories worldwide. Shares of this AI server giant have underperformed the broader market over the past year. SMCI has declined 6.8% over this time frame, while the broader S&P 500 Index ($SPX) has rallied nearly 18.4%. However, in 2025, SMCI stock is up 91%, surpassing SPX's 7.6% rise on a YTD basis.

Narrowing the focus, SMCI's underperformance is also apparent compared to the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLK). The exchange-traded fund has gained about 28.1% over the past year. However, SMCI's robust gains on a YTD basis outshine the ETF's 12.8% returns over the same time frame. SMCI has been underperforming due to tariffs and delayed customer-platform decisions. The company is facing challenges, including customers evaluating next-generation AI platforms and experiencing margin contraction due to price competition. SMCI also had a one-time inventory write-down on older-generation components. Competition from Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (HPE) and Dell Technologies Inc. (DELL) in the infrastructure-as-a-service space adds further pressure on SMCI. On May 6, SMCI shares closed up more than 2% after the company reported its Q3 results. Its adjusted EPS declined 53% year over year to $0.31. The company's revenue totaled $4.6 billion, representing a 19.5% year-over-year increase. SMCI expects full-year revenue in the range of $21.8 billion to $22.6 billion. For the current fiscal year, ended in June, analysts expect SMCI's EPS to decline 14.4% to $1.72 on a diluted basis. The company's earnings surprise history is disappointing. It missed the consensus estimates in two of the last three quarters while beating the forecast on another occasion. Among the 16 analysts covering SMCI stock, the consensus is a 'Hold.' That's based on four 'Strong Buy' ratings, three 'Moderate Buys,' six 'Holds,' one recommends a 'Moderate Sell,' and two advocate a 'Strong Sell.' This configuration is less bearish than a month ago, with no analyst suggesting a 'Moderate Sell.' On Jul. 31, Samik Chatterjee from JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) maintained a 'Hold' rating on SMCI with a price target of $46. While SMCI currently trades above its mean price target of $43, the Street-high price target of $70 suggests a 20.2% upside potential.

Palantir stock hits all-time high as AI software company exceeds $1 billion in quarterly revenue for the first time
Shares of Palantir Technologies (Nasdaq: PLTR) are surging to new highs after the company reported better-than-expected Q2 2025 results. During the quarter, the AI software company saw its revenues surge nearly 50% and surpass more than a billion dollars—the company's first quarterly 10-figure haul in its history. Here's what you need to know. What did Palantir report for Q2? Yesterday, Palantir reported its Q2 2025 earnings after the closing bell. The company's quarterly earnings were 'phenomenal,' according to CEO Alex Karp. The headline result of the quarter is the billion-dollar revenue intake. Total revenue for the quarter reached $1.004 billion. That's just $4 million over the psychologically important 10-figure line. Palantir achieved that number by growing its revenue 48% year-over-year and 14% quarter-over-quarter. U.S revenue was a big driver of the company's financial intake for the quarter. The company's stateside revenue grew 68% year-over-year and 17% quarter-over-quarter to $733 million. That number includes 14% quarterly revenue growth from U.S. government sources, totaling $426 million. U.S. revenue from commercial sources was up 20% for the quarter to $306 million. As noted by CNBC, Palantir exceeded its two most important metrics, based on LSEG estimates. The company's total earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter were 16 cents (adjusted). Analysts had been expecting 14 cents per share. Palantir's revenue haul of $1.004 billion also easily exceeded its expected quarterly revenue of $940 million. The company's Q2 revenue was, in large part, helped by its government contracts. Palantir has benefited from the Trump administration's push to overhaul and streamline government operations, which include mass layoffs. The work done by some of those who were laid off will be offloaded to AI and other software systems, which Palantir and other companies are in the business of providing. Looking ahead to its Q3, Palantir forecasts another billion-dollar quarter. It says it expects Q3 2025 revenues to come in between $1.083 billion and $1.087 billion. Good news for investors. What about employees? Judging from the way PLTR stock is rising in premarket trading this morning, investors are clearly cheering Palantir's results. But the company's employees may not be. After the company's Q2 results were announced, Palantir CEO Alex Karp was interviewed by CNBC about the company's AI software offerings and revenue results. During that interview, Karp told interviewer Morgan Brennan that workforce reductions are on the table thanks to efficiencies driven by artificial intelligence.. 'We're planning to grow our revenue . . . while decreasing our number of people,' Karp said. 'This is a crazy, efficient revolution. The goal is to get 10x revenue and have 3,600 people. We have now 4,100.' But as noted by CNBC, Karp did not reveal how the company would shrink its workforce from 4,100 to 3,600. Besides layoffs, companies have other options to reduce their workforce, such as freezing hiring and not replacing workers who voluntarily leave their roles. The good and the bad of PLTR stock After Palantir reported its Q2 results, the company's stock jumped. As of the time of this writing, during premarket trading this morning, PLTR stock is currently trading up over 6.1% to $170.53. That means that PLTR stock is currently trading at an all-time high. As of yesterday's closing share price of $160.66, PLTR has seen its price rise by more than 112% since the year began. And over the past 12 months, PLTR shares have surged more than 549%. However, it's worth pointing out that some investors, while buoyed by Palantir's recent gains, may also have reservations about its lofty stock price. At its current stock price, PLTR shares have a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 730.27. A triple-digit P/E ratio means that a stock's price is currently far outstripping its earnings. Few major tech companies have a P/E ratio in the triple digits, although their are some notable exceptions. Tesla, for example, has a P/E ratio of 185. If future earnings don't continue to match the rising price of the stock, shares could pull back. Other tech companies have P/E ratios that most investors find more acceptable. This includes Microsoft (P/E of 38), Nvidia (56), Apple (30), Amazon (32), Alphabet/Google (20), and Meta (28).

The role of a business leader in building a strong marketing culture
Conversations about effective marketing tend to focus on the latest tools and technologies. Many companies devote their time to evaluating CRM platforms, testing SEO techniques, or predicting the impact of AI. However, without effective leadership specifically designed to create a strong marketing culture, these tools and techniques may quickly fall flat and fail to deliver the results your business is looking for. While not every business leader needs to be a marketing expert, it's important for leaders to facilitate an environment where strong marketing teams and successful campaigns can develop and thrive. LEAD EFFECTIVE TEAMS Leading an effective marketing team is more complex than simply hiring marketing experts. In fact, an effective marketing strategy may require collaboration between content specialists, marketing specialists, business stakeholders, SEO specialists, social media specialists, and web developers. Subscribe to the Daily newsletter. Fast Company's trending stories delivered to you every day Privacy Policy | Fast Company Newsletters This means that an effective leader will be able to not only put together the right team, but also facilitate their communication. Preventing a silo structure while still promoting efficiency is one of the main priorities a business leader needs to focus on to build a strong marketing culture. Leading an effective cross-functional marketing team includes hiring the right team, providing the proper training, and encouraging innovation. HIRE THE RIGHT TEAM To hire the right team, it's important to have a clear business strategy and to align your marketing goals with your overall business goals. If your business grows through online leads, you may need to hire SEO specialists or outsource your SEO marketing to an agency. If you are growing through social media, podcast ads, or sales campaigns, you must hire team members with specialized experience and a track record of building brand awareness. PROVIDE THE RIGHT TRAINING As marketing tools and techniques change along with algorithms, AI, and new platforms, it's essential to help your team stay current. Providing the right training opportunities as you introduce new marketing strategies and opportunities will empower your team to stay ahead of the competition. This may involve providing paid training opportunities or setting up meetings dedicated to exploring and learning new platforms and products. ENCOURAGE INNOVATION A cross-functional team with the right training can generate creative marketing strategies and solutions if they are encouraged to think outside the box and innovate. Creating a strong marketing culture involves facilitating an environment where new ideas are recognised, explored, and rewarded. How business leaders encourage and react to new suggestions can set the tone for a team that is willing to take risks and get creative. CREATE AND COMMUNICATE BUSINESS GOALS advertisement There is no one-size-fits-all marketing strategy. For marketing strategies to be effective, they should align with your particular business goals. One of the most important roles of an effective leader is to clearly communicate business goals so that the marketing team can translate them into marketing campaigns. By sharing both short-term and long-term goals with your marketing team, you can ensure that your marketing campaigns use resources as effectively as possible to help your business grow. STAY CURRENT WITH ADVANCING TECHNOLOGY Increasingly, marketing campaigns and their success are determined by their use of and interaction with technology. However, marketing is not just about understanding algorithm updates. For example, technologies like AI raise questions about creative ethics, information bias, research validity, fair work practices, environmental concerns, and more. Staying current with advancing technology and how it may affect your team and your industry is crucial to ensure that your business is not left behind. ENCOURAGE A CUSTOMER-CENTRIC MARKETING CULTURE For marketing strategies to connect with your ideal audience, your marketing campaigns must be customer-centric. To tailor your campaigns to your ideal customer, encourage your team to prioritize customer research, keyword research, and competitor research. This research can help your team create campaigns that build your brand identity as a company that can meet the specific needs of your customers. At the other end of the process, it's important to gather customer feedback. Make sure to keep track of how your new leads are finding you in order to determine which use of marketing resources is the most effective. When you are hiring new team members, look for marketing experts who have helped companies grow their customer base and improve customer retention. FINAL THOUGHTS Being an effective leader is not just about chairing meetings or making the right hiring decisions. A strong marketing culture can be a pivotal factor in the success of your business, but creating that culture requires strategic, consistent leadership.
