Save $200 on Campfire Audio's IEMs that push the limits of what earbuds can do
Of course, with that great sound quality, they can be very expensive The Ultimate Ears Premier are $2,999, for example. But sometimes you can get a very expensive pair of IEMs at a discount. Right now the Campfire Audio Supermoon are marked down from $1,099 (they used to be $1,500) to $899, a savings of $200. These are premium IEM earbuds, no matter how you look at it and, if you're in the audiophile world, they're a possible pickup for you.
Why you should buy the Campfire Audio Supermoon
The Supermoon are 14mm planar magnetic IEMs that combine solid bass and technical details on the high-end of the spectrum. They have a wide 5Hz to 20kHz frequency response and produce less than 1% total harmonic distortion. They come in a cool shiny black or a color that I can't help but call, as a native of the state, a 'Tennessee' orange. In our large IEM shootout they were featured as an example of what the very top of the line of IEMs can get you — earbuds that fit perfectly in your ear because they were built for your very ear, an 'undeniably smooth and precise sound signature,' and a listening experience that gives noticeably more even at the hard to improve upon midtone level. The rub was that they were $1,500 at that time. Today, they're considerably more affordable.
The Campfire Audio Supermoon are down to $899 for a limited time, $200 off of their usual price of $1,099. They aren't the usual fare around here, but they can bring something new to your music experience if you need something extra. If they aren't your style, however, you should check out Campfire Audio's new Axion earbuds that are also designed to provide a premium listening experience, though at a more universally approachable price.

In 27 Years of Investing, I've Never Witnessed a More Overvalued Megacap Stock
Key Points Artificial intelligence (AI)-driven data-mining specialist Palantir Technologies has added more than $335 billion in market value since the end of 2022. One key valuation metric for Palantir has been pushed so far beyond historic norms that it makes the dot-com bubble look like a blip. Beyond valuation concerns, Palantir's earnings quality is suspect, and its growth ceiling for Gotham is far more limited than investors might realize. 10 stocks we like better than Palantir Technologies › For more than three decades, investors have been privy to no shortage of next-big-thing trends and game-changing innovations. Pie-in-the-sky addressable markets assigned to new innovations often lead to premium valuations for the companies leading the charge. While the development and eventual bursting of bubbles is something of a common theme on Wall Street, when examined over the long run, some bubbles have proved easier to spot than others. As someone who's been putting their money to work in the stock market for 27 years, I've seen my fair share of expensive companies on the leading edge of next-big-thing trends. While some of these powerhouses have proved me wrong and sustained some of their premium, most eventually succumb to historical headwinds. At the moment, artificial intelligence (AI) is the hottest thing since sliced bread on Wall Street -- and AI-data-mining specialist Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR) is, without a shadow of a doubt, the most overvalued megacap stock (i.e., companies with market caps north of $200 billion) I've ever witnessed. Palantir's sustainable moat has made it one of the tech sector's most important companies Let me be clear that my issues with Palantir (which I'll discuss in detail in a moment) are prominently valuation-based. Palantir's ascent from a $15 billion market cap at the end of 2022 to a $352 billion market cap, as of this writing on July 22, wasn't an accident. It's a reflection of investors being excited about the company's sustainable moat, growth rate, and ideal positioning under the Donald Trump administration. There are few things investors value more on Wall Street than irreplaceability. If your business offers something that no other businesses can deliver at scale, it often results in investors bestowing a premium valuation on your stock. Palantir's two operating segments -- Gotham and Foundry -- certainly fit this mold. Gotham is an AI- and machine learning-fueled software-as-a-service platform that collects and analyzes data, as well as assists with military mission planning and execution. There's nothing comparable to Gotham, which ensures the multiyear contracts this segment lands generate highly predictable annual sales and operating cash flow. Meanwhile, Foundry assists businesses by helping them make sense of their big data, which can entail optimizing supply chains and automating certain aspects of the decision-making process. Foundry is a relatively newer subscription-based segment that's growing like a weed. Speaking of growth, Palantir has pretty consistently maintained an annual sales growth rate in the 25% to 35% range. A number of sizable government contracts, many of which stretch over four or five years, have helped it sustain this robust top-line growth rate. Furthermore, Palantir made the shift to recurring profitability well ahead of Wall Street's consensus expectation. Generating a recurring profit validates Palantir's dual-platform operating model and affords the faster-growing Foundry a lengthy runway to get up to speed. Lastly, investors appreciate Palantir's positioning as a key defense stock under a unified Republican government. President Trump has made national security a key focus of his second term, which ties in perfectly to Palantir's Gotham platform. Palantir is the priciest megacap stock of the century Among the stock market's thousands of publicly traded companies, I can pinpoint quite a few whose valuations make no sense whatsoever. But among the very select class of industry leaders and Wall Street's most-influential businesses, there hasn't been a megacap stock this century that's rivaled Palantir from a valuation standpoint. When looking back three decades, there have been quite a few instances where cutting-edge businesses topped out at price-to-sales (P/S) ratios in the neighborhood of 30 to 40. Prior to the bursting of the dot-com bubble, networking solutions provider Cisco Systems, e-commerce giant Amazon, and software legend Microsoft all topped out at trailing-12-month (TTM) P/S ratios ranging from 31 to 43. More recently, AI graphics processing unit goliath Nvidia peaked at a P/S ratio of more than 42 last summer. Although its current TTM P/S ratio of 28 is still inordinately high, it's nowhere close to Palantir Technologies. As you'll note, Palantir's TTM P/S ratio of 119 makes the prior P/S peaks from the likes of Cisco, Amazon, Microsoft, and Nvidia look more like blips. Regardless of addressable market size or investor hype, no megacap stock has ever been able to maintain a TTM P/S ratio of 30-plus over an extended period. What's wild is that Palantir's stock is valued at four times this line-in-the-sand level, which demonstrates just how far outside of historic norms its valuation has ascended. There are other concerns with Palantir that should be taken into consideration -- especially with its stock trading at 119 times TTM sales. For instance, there's not much clarity on defense spending beyond early 2027. Although President Trump is in office through January 2029, midterm elections have the potential to shake-up Congress in 18 months. It's not clear if defense spending will remain a top priority beyond the next six quarters. Investors should also be aware that while Gotham has been nothing short of a superstar for Palantir, its addressable market is quite limited. Its platform is only available to the U.S. and its immediate allies, which takes quite a bit of potential revenue opportunity off the table. Another worry is that next-big-thing innovations have always endured early stage bubble-bursting events. Though Palantir's multiyear government contracts and subscription revenue would help it avoid an immediate fall-off in sales, poor investor sentiment during a bubble-bursting event would almost certainly make Palantir stock a target. The final puzzle piece, which makes Palantir's overvaluation even more egregious, is the quality of the company's profits. Ideally, Gotham and Foundry should be driving close to 100% of Palantir's income. However, 40% of its pre-tax income in 2024 came from interest earned on its cash, which isn't innovative or sustainable. Let me be clear: I'm not trying to precisely call a top in Palantir stock. But I have little doubt in my mind that a substantial pullback is coming at some point in the not-too-distant future. Should you invest $1,000 in Palantir Technologies right now?

Analog Devices Earnings Preview: What to Expect
Wilmington, Massachusetts-based Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) is an original equipment manufacturer of semiconductor devices, specifically, analog, mixed signal, and digital signal processing integrated circuits. With a market cap of $116.9 billion, Analog Devices' operations span the Americas, Europe, and the Indo-Pacific. The tech giant is expected to report its third-quarter results on Wednesday, Aug. 20. Ahead of the event, analysts expect ADI to report an adjusted EPS of $1.93, up 22.2% from $1.58 reported in the year-ago quarter. Moreover, the company has surpassed the Street's bottom-line estimates in each of the past four quarters. More News from Barchart Dear Microsoft Stock Fans, Mark Your Calendars for July 30 Dear QuantumScape Stock Fans, Mark Your Calendars for July 23 NVDA Broken Wing Butterfly Trade Targets A Profit Zone Between 150 and 160 Get exclusive insights with the FREE Barchart Brief newsletter. Subscribe now for quick, incisive midday market analysis you won't find anywhere else. For the full fiscal 2025, analysts expect Analog's EPS to come in at $7.40, up nearly 16% from $6.38 reported in fiscal 2024. In fiscal 2026, its earnings are expected to surge 18.9% year-over-year to $8.80 per share. ADI stock has dropped nearly 1% over the past 52 weeks, lagging behind the S&P 500 Index's ($SPX) 14.5% surge and the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund's (XLK) 15.6% returns during the same time frame. Despite delivering impressive results, ADI stock prices dropped 4.6% in the trading session following the release of its Q2 results on May 22. The company's revenues for the quarter soared 22.3% year-over-year to $2.6 billion, coming in at the high end of its guidance. Further, its EPS increased 32% year-over-year to $1.85, surpassing the Street's expectations by 9.5%. However, its Q3 revenues guidance of $2.75 billion (midpoint) fell below several estimates, and the company expects the second half of 2025 to be marked with a slowdown in automotive demand, which raised investor concerns. Nevertheless, analysts remain optimistic about ADI's long-term prospects, and the stock holds a consensus 'Moderate Buy' rating overall. Of the 32 analysts covering the stock, opinions include 21 'Strong Buys,' two 'Moderate Buys,' and nine 'Holds.' Its mean price target of $258.76 suggests a 13.5% upside potential from current price levels.

FBI Warning—Do Not Install This App On Your PC Or Smartphone
It starts with a message — it ends with you losing your life savings. Republished on July 24 with new malicious call warnings and advice for victims. 'It starts with an unsolicited message,' the FBI warns, 'and it ends with you losing your savings.' Attacks are now surging across the U.S., targeting citizens with malicious texts, emails and popups. And per the latest warnings, with dangerous apps as well. 'The threat is growing fast,' the bureau says, as citizens across the U.S. are contacted by their banks with messages urging them to 'call tech support for assistance.' When you respond, you're told your money is at immediate risk from a hacker who has broken into one of your devices, and that you will be guided through a process to keep it safe. But the 'hacker' is a phantom. The real threat comes from the person you're speaking with on the phone — or rather the people. You will speak with more than one. Because you've been 'hacked,' tech support will help you install an app to allow them to verify the security on your device. Once that app is installed, they will ask you to check your bank accounts for fraudulent transactions. But as you do so, the attackers can see what you have and where it is. The scammers will then continue to 'help' you move all that money to a safe account, out of reach of the phantom hacker they have invented. That safe harbor is their own account or crypto wallet. Your money is then gone. You should not engage with the text or email or popup in the first place. But even if you do, you must never install any apps or software when asked to do so like this. As the bureau warns, 'if someone you don't know contacts you and asks you to download software, no matter who they say they work for, don't do it.' It is that simple. In recent days we have seen new warnings for citizens to beware these phantom hacker attacks and to beware fake calls from government agencies — including the FBI — that can spoof field office phone numbers to make scams harder to detect. As ever, the good news is that staying safe is all down to 100% adherence to golden rules. In this instance — never install apps when asked to do so in unsolicited calls, texts or emails. But the same is true with calls from supposed law enforcement on missed jury duty or unpaid fines. And with links in texts about unpaid tolls or motoring fines. And with tech support numbers that pop up on your screen, asking you to call. Call scams are surging across a range of lures, including the increasingly widespread impersonation of law enforcement agencies demanding payment to avoid arrest. The latest such warning has just been issued in Illinois. But you're still more likely to be targeted by texts with malicious links than calls. There are literally billions of these messages being sent out, many of which are filtered but millions still get through to the intended targets each day. The latest Amazon scam, which has just surged 5000% in a fortnight, is the latest of these. FBI's Boston field office has just issued another alert as the latest lure — unspecified DMV motoring offenses — sweeps across the a state. 'Drivers in our area have received text messages falsely claiming to be from the DMV requesting payment to resolve traffic violations or unpaid fees,' the bureau pointed on X. 'In reality,' the FBI says, 'it's an attempt by criminals to access your financial & personal information. Don't click the link and report the fraud.' If you fall victim to a Phantom Hacker or DMV scam — whether by call or text, FTC's advice is to 'act quickly to report it to the company or bank behind the gift card, cryptocurrency, payment app, or wire transfer service. Depending on how you paid, you might be able to get your money back. But no matter how you paid, it's worth asking.' All these attacks are good and believable. Scammers are polished on calls. They have heard every objection and question before — and they're ready to handle yours. You really do need to adopt a zero tolerance approach to all such unsolicited calls and messages. If you don't engage, you don't get scammed. Just keep that in mind.
