Palantir (PLTR)’s latest financial report shows that the company’s second-quarter revenue rose 93% year-over-year to $1.94 billion, net profit hit $1.06 billion, and it significantly raised its full-year performance guidance. Boosted by the results, the company’s stock price climbed more than 12% in after-hours trading on Monday. Palantir forecasts full-year 2026 revenue of at least $8.15 billion, up from its prior expectation of less than $7.7 billion. U.S. commercial business revenue is projected to reach $3.4 billion, growing at least 134% year-over-year, making it the key growth driver. Markets had previously worried that the rapid expansion of AI model firms like OpenAI and Anthropic could erode Palantir’s competitiveness, but this earnings report has reignited investors’ focus on its "AI Sovereignty" business model. Palantir CEO Alex Karp noted that enterprises and governments are seeking control over their own data, AI systems, and decision-making processes, a key source of the company’s growth. The so-called "AI Sovereignty" refers to enterprises preventing their core data from being used for training by external AI model providers, while ensuring AI systems align with their own business needs. Palantir argues that future enterprises need not just base models, but AI platforms that can manage data, integrate into business workflows, and protect competitive advantages. In recent years, Palantir has been expanding its enterprise AI business and criticized the business models of some AI labs, claiming that enterprises pay large fees to model suppliers yet may lose control over their core data. However, Palantir still faces pressure in overseas markets. Due to the company’s long-standing work with the U.S. government and defense sector, some European nations are reducing their reliance on U.S. tech firms. As of the latest quarter, international client revenue makes up about 19% of Palantir’s total revenue, down from 26% in 2025.

According to South Korea’s Seoul Economic Daily, the Bank of Korea (BOK) has restarted its physical gold purchase plan after 13 years, sourcing gold from South Korean gold producers’ planned exports via the Korea Exchange (KRX) gold market and Korea Securities Depository (KSD) infrastructure. The BOK announced on the 3rd that it has established a cooperation framework with KRX, KSD, and gold producer LS MnM to jointly advance domestic gold procurement. The transactions will be executed as block trades on the KRX gold market, with settlement and custody managed by KSD. The BOK said purchasing export-focused gold is primarily intended to mitigate impacts on domestic gold market prices and reduce interference with intraday market fluctuations through block trades. This marks the BOK’s first resumption of physical gold purchases since 2013. Between 2011 and 2013, the BOK accumulated 90 tons of gold, but suspended procurement after valuation losses stemming from subsequent gold price drops. As of the end of June this year, the BOK’s foreign exchange reserves totaled $427.36 billion, with gold reserves valued at roughly $4.79 billion, accounting for just 1.1%. Against the backdrop of major global central banks continuing to boost gold allocations, the BOK’s move is viewed as a step to diversify foreign exchange reserves and lower concentration in dollar assets. However, the BOK noted future purchase volumes will not be large. South Korea’s annual domestic gold output is around 40 to 45 tons, of which only 4 to 5 tons are exportable. The BOK emphasized that the resumption of gold purchases is not based on gold price trend judgments, but rather on corporate procurement requests, domestic and international gold prices, and market conditions to decide transaction timings.

Global credit rating agency Moody’s has for the first time upgraded SK Hynix’s credit rating to the A range, reflecting the chipmaker’s enhanced competitiveness in the AI storage market, as well as improvements in its profitability and cash generation capabilities. The day before, Moody’s raised SK Hynix’s long-term issuer rating and senior unsecured bond rating by one notch, from Baa1 to A3, with a stable rating outlook. This marks the first time SK Hynix has obtained an A-level rating from Moody’s since it was acquired by SK Group in 2012, and it is also the first of the three major international credit rating agencies to assign an A-level rating to SK Hynix. Currently, both S&P Global Ratings and Fitch Ratings assign SK Hynix a rating of BBB+, with S&P holding a positive outlook and Fitch a stable outlook. Moody’s forecasts that SK Hynix will maintain strong profitability and cash generation capabilities over the next 12 to 18 months, with its financial position set to improve further. Moody’s noted that the company has built up sufficient cash reserves, strengthening its ability to withstand downside risks from the semiconductor cycle.
