Jim Cramer believes excessive pessimism may be clouding Wall Street&#8217;s outlook, arguing that strong employment trends could prevent an economic downturn despite tariff concerns.
What Happened: &#8220;Will the tariffs hurt? Yes. Will prices go higher? Yes. Could there be shortages? Absolutely,&#8221; CNBC&#8217;s Cramer <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/28/continued-job-growth-could-help-ward-off-a-recession-jim-cramer-says.html?ref=biztoc.com">said</a> Monday. &#8220;But recessions revolve around employment, and there are still so many more jobs than we have people to fill them.&#8221;
Recession fears have grown amid President Donald Trump&#8216;s sweeping tariff hikes, especially those targeting China. However, Cramer maintains that companies are reluctant to lay off workers they might struggle to rehire when conditions improve.
&#8220;It&#8217;s difficult to derail an economy that is still creating jobs,&#8221; Cramer noted, predicting Friday&#8217;s labor report will be &#8220;fairly robust,&#8221; making it challenging to &#8220;slip into a full-blown recession any time soon.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Recent data support this optimism. March <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44645518/strong-jobs-report-offers-hope-but-will-it-be-enough-to-counter-tariff-turmoil">nonfarm payrolls surged by 228,000</a>, exceeding the three-month average of 195,000 and economists&#8217; forecasts of 135,000, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
While many <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45033463/as-china-downplays-trump-tariffs-with-5-growth-target-top-economist-warns-of-90-chance-of-a-us-recession-amid-trade-war">economists paint a bleaker picture</a>—including Apollo Global Management&#8216;s Chief Economist Torsten Slok, who predicted a &#8220;90% chance&#8221; of recession if current tariff levels persist—not all share this view. The CEO of Chevron Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>) recently stated there were &#8220;no signs of a recession at this point.&#8221;
Cramer suggested that while some businesses may suffer from tariff-induced price increases, consumers could adapt by turning to budget-friendly retailers like Costco Wholesale Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>) and Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>).
&#8220;These two retailers have more market power than any two companies I&#8217;ve ever seen,&#8221; he said. &#8220;They can negotiate lower prices with their suppliers to offset the tariffs, including the Chinese.&#8221;

Jim Cramer Dismisses Recession Panic: Says Tariffs May Sting, But Too 'Many Jobs' For Economy To 'Derail'

Billionaire and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk could potentially dodge over $2 billion in financial liabilities due to his sway over the U.S. government, according to a report by Senate Democratic committee staffers.
What Happened: Musk's &#8220;Department of Government Efficiency&#8221; (DOGE) has driven major changes in Washington, with President Donald Trump supporting Musk's push for cuts. On the day of Trump's inauguration, Musk's companies — including SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, The Boring Company, and xAI — were dealing with at least 65 &#8220;actual or potential&#8221; regulatory or enforcement actions from 11 federal agencies, posing a potential liability of at least $2.37 billion.
Included in this is $1.19 billion in liabilities for Tesla over allegations of misleading statements regarding its autopilot and self-driving capabilities. Neuralink may also be liable for up to $281 million due to claims of misrepresenting the risks associated with its products. 
In reaction to the 44-page memo, Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) has asked for information from the five Musk-led companies on the federal investigations they faced before Trump&#8217;s inauguration. The White House has firmly denied any claims that Musk has leveraged his government role for &#8220;personal or financial gain,&#8221; stating "any assertion otherwise is completely false and defamatory."
Tesla did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment.

Why It Matters: The DOGE has found itself at the center of debate several times. Earlier this month, the House Democrats <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44888379/elon-musks-doge-under-fire-house-democrats-say-agency-is-building-unlawful-master-database-of-sensitive-us-data">expressed concerns</a> about DOGE, alleging that it was building a cross-agency master database that could potentially compromise privacy and national security.
Musk faces <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/02/43931361/elon-musks-spacex-pushes-to-install-starlink-in-us-airspace-network-raising-conflict-of-interest-concerns-and-threatening-verizons-2-billion-deal">conflict of interests with several agencies</a>, including the FAA, which oversees SpaceX, and the NHTSA, which is investigating Tesla and recently saw key self-driving experts fired.
Overseen by Musk, the department has reportedly saved $160 billion by eradicating <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45034082/elon-musks-doge-saves-160-billion-but-could-lead-to-billions-in-hidden-costs-for-taxpayers-warns-new-analysis-public-will-end-up-paying-for-this">wasteful </a>government spending. However, the same report highlighted that DOGE&#8217;s actions could cost taxpayers up to $135 billion in the same fiscal year, excluding the costs of defending multiple lawsuits against DOGE&#8217;s actions or the estimated loss in tax collections due to IRS staff reductions.
Meanwhile, during the recent Tesla conference call, Musk announced plans to <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/04/44945402/wedbushs-dan-ives-raises-teslas-price-target-to-350-as-musk-promises-to-significantly-reduce-doge-time" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">dedicate more of his time to Tesla,</a> starting next month. Musk stated, "I'll continue to spend a day or two per week on government matters for as long as the President would like me to do so." 
He further added, "Starting next month, I&#8217;ll be allocating far <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44974342/elon-musks-wealth-skyrockets-by-billions-as-tesla-stock-rallies-after-billionaire-ceo-steps-back-from-doge">more of my time to Tesla."</a>

Elon Musk's DOGE Influence Could Help His Companies Avoid Over $2 Billion In Potential Liabilities: Senate Report

Quick-service restaurant chain Domino's Pizza Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DPZ#NASDAQ">DPZ</a>) confirmed its newly announced partnership with DoorDash Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DASH#NASDAQ">DASH</a>) for a nationwide rollout beginning in May, followed by an expansion into Canada later in the year.
What Happened: On Monday, during the restaurant chain&#8217;s first quarter earnings call, the management discussed its recent partnership with DoorDash, which was announced at the beginning of this month. 
After testing across a small number of stores, it now plans a nationwide rollout starting in May, which is set to be complete towards the end of the second quarter. The company expects this to have a sizable impact on top-line growth during the second half of this year.

According to Domino&#8217;s CEO, Russell Leener, 50% of orders from DoorDash are expected to be incremental, which means half the orders coming from the platform will be new, and not cannibalizing current sales.
&#8220;If customers want to buy us on DoorDash, it's because of their natural behavior on that platform, and we're fine with that,&#8221; Leener says, adding that DoorDash will have 2x the contribution of Uber Eats, with which Domino&#8217;s has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/07/33244909/this-analyst-with-83-accuracy-rate-sees-around-14-upside-in-uber-technologies-here-are-5-stock-picks">been working since</a> 2023, contributing 3% to the company&#8217;s sales in 2024.
The company believes this move will help its rural and suburban stores, just as Uber Eats helped it penetrate deeper into underserved urban regions. Leener says, &#8220;Our strategy for aggregators has been to meet customers where they are, whichever app they're on.&#8221;
The company, however, says that it will continue to retain its delivery drivers, and will not expand delivery zones, a decision aimed at preserving product quality. Additionally, its loyalty program will remain exclusive to purchases made directly through its existing platform.
Why It Matters: Despite being a holdout against third-party delivery apps for years, the company decided to give in after its <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/02/43909695/dominos-pizza-posts-q4-earnings-below-estimates-stock-falls">same-store sales</a> continued to lag during its recent fourth quarter earnings release.
The same lackluster same-store figures were reported during its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/45039495/dominos-pizza-q1-operating-margin-shrinks-as-lower-income-consumers-feel-the-pinch">first quarter results</a> on Monday, but the company projects a 3% growth in same-store sales for the full year, partly due to these strategic initiatives.
Domino&#8217;s COO, Joe Jordan, recently said that third-party delivery platforms represent a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44608585/whats-going-on-with-dominos-pizza-stock-today">$1 billion opportunity</a> for the company. &#8220;Tapping into incremental customers, particularly in suburban and rural markets, is a meaningful opportunity for Domino's,&#8221; he added.
Price Action: Shares of Domino&#8217;s Pizza were up 0.63% on Monday, and are down 0.13% in after-hours trading, following the company&#8217;s miss on top-line consensus estimates during its first quarter results after markets closed.

Dominos Is 'Fine' With DoorDash, Eyes Full National Rollout For Q2: CEO Says Pizza Giant's Strategy Is To 'Meet Customers Where They Are'

Side hustles aren't just for TikTok teens anymore. Four in 10 retired Americans now fear their nest egg won't carry them through a longer, costlier old age, and many are copying Gen Z's gig-economy playbook to plug the gap, according to a new study.
What Happened: A new D.A. Davidson <a href="https://www.dadavidson.com/About-Us/News/ArticleID/7003/Nearly-Two-Thirds-Retired-Americans-Wish-They-Had-Side-Gig-to-Support-Ideal-Retirement-Lifestyle">survey</a> reveals inflation, stock-market whiplash, and doubts about Social Security have pushed Gen X and baby-boomer retirees back into the labor pool as substitute teachers, real estate agents, and rideshare drivers. 
"The definition of — and classic timeline for — retirement is changing," said Andrew Crowell, vice chair of wealth management at D.A. Davidson. "A side gig doesn't have to be a last resort in retirement. It can actually be an integral part of retirement planning, supplementing savings while also encouraging engagement in the community and keeping the mind sharp."

Nearly 60 percent of respondents said they either have or want auxiliary income. Yet only 20 percent name debt as the motivator. A larger share, 55 percent, cite social or mental benefits — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37261283/gen-z-plans-on-retiring-early-there-might-be-a-key-reason-why">echoing younger workers</a> who moonlight to pursue passions as much as cash. Separate polling shows almost two-thirds of adults under 35 have launched, or plan to launch, a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44539746/31-of-u-s-workers-have-a-side-hustle-but-which-professions-are-the-most-likely-to-take-on-side-gigs">side business</a>.
Why It Matters: Longer lifespans are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/42236322/ebri-study-reveals-58-of-retirees-retire-earlier-than-expected-heres-why">amplifying the math</a>. "Unlike past generations, current retirees are staying active longer in retirement and living longer, which increases the amount of money they need throughout retirement," said Patrick Doherty, senior vice president at Wealth Enhancement Group. He urges clients to pay themselves first by funneling gig earnings into 401(k)s or brokerage accounts before discretionary spending kicks in.
With 20-plus million retirees second-guessing their savings target, experts say the once-traditional vision of a work-free retirement is giving way to a hybrid model — part leisure, part Lyft — where extra income and community engagement share top billing.

Gen X Are Hustling Like Gen Z — But For A Very Different Reason

The Arizona House of Representatives greenlit two bills on Monday that could establish a Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) or other cryptocurrency reserves in the state.
What Happened: Senate Bill 1025, called the Arizona Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act,  secured 31 votes in favor and 25 against. The legislation proposed allocating up to 10% of the state treasury and retirement system funds to be allocated in digital currencies, especially Bitcoin.
Additionally, SB1373, which proposes the establishment of&nbsp;a state-level digital assets reserve,&nbsp;was passed with 37 votes in favor and 19 against. 
The bills now proceed toward Governor Katie Hobbs&#8217; desk for approval

Why It Matters: With these approvals, Arizona is now closer than any other state to having a law that establishes&nbsp;a cryptocurrency or Bitcoin strategic&nbsp;reserve, <a href="https://bitcoinlaws.io/reserve-race">according</a> to Bitcoin Laws. 
The move by Arizona&#8217;s lawmakers aligns with a broader trend of increasing interest in cryptocurrencies at the state level, spurred by the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43177482/trump-signs-executive-order-on-crypto-bitcoin-reserve-to-be-evaluated">establishment of a Bitcoin reserve at the federal level</a> earlier in the year by President Donald Trump.
The federal government will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43177482/trump-signs-executive-order-on-crypto-bitcoin-reserve-to-be-evaluated">fund the stockpile</a> with Bitcoin recovered through criminal or civil asset forfeiture processes. Additional Bitcoin will be acquired through &#8220;budget-neutral strategies.&#8221;
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $94,441.55, up 0.36% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Outlook –&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>The macroeconomic environment is facing heightened uncertainty, in particular from protectionist trade policies, creating volatility in both economic forecasts and financial markets and adversely impacting consumer and business sentiment. Supporting our clients through this volatile period is our top priority. The Group is well-positioned to manage the impacts of these challenges through our highquality revenue streams, conservative approach to credit risk and strong deposit franchise.</li>
<li>We continue to target a mid-teens return on average tangible equity (‘RoTE') in each of the three years from 2025 to 2027 excluding notable items, and we continue to expect banking NII of around $42bn in 2025 based on our latest modelling, acknowledging the outlook for interest rates has become more volatile and uncertain</li>
<li>We expect ECL charges as a percentage of average gross loans of between 30bps to 40bps in 2025 (including loans held for sale balances).</li>
<li>Our targeted growth in operating expenses in 2025 compared with 2024 remains approximately 3%, on a target basis. Our cost target includes the impact of simplification-related saves associated with our announced reorganisation, which aims to generate approximately $0.3bn of cost reductions in 2025, with a commitment to an annualised reduction of around $1.5bn in our cost base expected by the end of 2026. To deliver these reductions, we plan to incur severance and other up-front costs of $1.8bn over 2025 and 2026, which will be classified as notable items.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Given current levels of uncertainty and market turmoil, we expect demand for lending to remain muted during 2025. However, over the medium to long term we continue to expect mid-single digit percentage growth for year-on-year customer lending balances. We continue to expect double-digit percentage average annual growth in fee and other income in Wealth over the medium term.&nbsp;</li>
<li>We intend to manage the CET1 capital ratio within our medium-term target range of 14% to 14.5%, with a dividend payout ratio target basis of 50% for 2025, excluding material notable items and related impacts.</li>

On Monday, Jeff Bezos's Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) entered the satellite internet market, kicking off a high-stakes battle with Elon Musk's SpaceX as it launched the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/04/44977151/jeff-bezos-space-internet-ambitions-falter-as-amazons-project-kuiper-struggles-to-increase-satellite-production-amid-launch-delays">first operational satellites</a> for its ambitious Project Kuiper.
What Happened: A United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket lifted off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, carrying 27 of Amazon's Project Kuiper satellites into low-Earth orbit, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/amazon-ula-project-kuiper-spacex-starlinks-1a1c53a6a44f3f9bd9426bb1f56405c9">reported</a> the Associated Press.

Amazon has secured dozens of future launch contracts from United Launch Alliance, Bezos's rocket company Blue Origin and others as it works to build out its satellite network.
Why It&#8217;s Important: The launch marks the first significant step in Amazon's plan to deploy a constellation of more than 3,200 satellites to provide global broadband service, particularly targeting underserved and remote areas.
Project Kuiper aims to offer fast, affordable internet, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/04/44806935/spacex-launches-27th-falcon-9-rocket-from-florida-adds-27-starlink-satellites-to-orbit">challenging SpaceX's dominance</a> and bringing more competition to the satellite broadband market.
The initial launch attempt earlier this month was scrubbed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44730384/amazons-kuiper-satellite-launch-scrubbed-due-to-bad-weather-ula-says-a-new-launch-date-will-be-announced">due to unfavorable weather</a>, and it wasn&#8217;t until now that a new slot opened in the launch schedule at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
Meanwhile, Musk's SpaceX has a considerable head start, with over 8,000 Starlink satellites <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44624537/jeff-bezos-amazon-to-launch-kuiper-internet-satellites-on-april-9-taking-on-elon-musks-starlink">launched since 2019 and</a> more than 7,000 still in orbit.
SpaceX is also one of the leading companies reportedly in consideration to help develop President Donald Trump's proposed Golden Dome <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44861620/spacex-palantir-frontrunners-in-bid-that-could-build-donald-trumps-golden-dome-report">missile defense system</a>, alongside Palantir Technologies Inc.

Price Action: Amazon shares slipped 0.68% on Monday, extending a broader decline that has resulted in a 14.77% loss year-to-date, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Despite the downturn, Amazon holds a strong growth score of 94.17% based on Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it compares with top competitors</a>.

Elon Musk's Starlink Empire Gets New Challenger In Shape Of Jeff Bezos' Amazon: Project Kuiper Deploys First Operational Satellites

Official Trump (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TRUMP</a>) gave up early morning gains Monday as the opposition voiced concerns about rewarding the coin&#8217;s largest investors.
What Happened: The President Donald Trump-associated cryptocurrency rose to an intraday high of $15.55 early in the morning but failed to sustain the rally, pulling back to $14.20 overnight. 
The decline contrasted with the rest of the meme coin market, which saw its capitalization rise by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/45057801/dogecoin-shiba-inu-spike-but-floki-and-bonk-are-stars-of-mondays-meme-rally">more than 3%</a> in the last 24 hours.
The dip comes after a few <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/45027557/trumps-memecoin-dinner-event-sparks-impeachment-call-from-democratic-senator-says-potus-is-selling-access-to-those-who-enrich-him">Democratic lawmakers accused Trump of corruption and violating federal ethics regulations</a> over a private dinner invitation to the meme coin's largest holders.
While Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) deemed selling access in exchange for payments an impeachable offense, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) requested that the U.S. Office of Government Ethics intervene in the matter.

Interestingly, the team behind the project indicated that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/45012922/trump-meme-coin-surges-15-as-organizers-clarify-participation-rules-for-gala-dinner">Trump may not attend the gala dinner</a> and that the event may be cancelled or rescheduled at their discretion. TRUMP surged as much as 65% on the announcement last week.
The scheduled unlocking of TRUMP coins has been delayed by another three months, the project's official X account confirmed last week.

Trump Memecoin Dips After Early Spike As Dinner With President Attracts Criticism

Amazon.com, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) marquee shopping event could see fewer deals and less inventory as third-party sellers retreat amid rising import costs.
What Happened: Some Amazon sellers are pulling out of Prime Day 2025 or scaling back discounts in response to steep tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump on goods imported from China, Reuters reported on Monday, citing four merchants and six consultants advising hundreds of sellers.
The tariffs, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44831422/donald-trumps-145-tariffs-on-china-could-disrupt-teslas-cybercab-semi-production-report">jumped to 145% earlier this month</a>, have significantly increased costs for merchants who rely on Chinese manufacturing.
For sellers like Steve Green, who imports bicycles and skateboards, the added expenses have made Prime Day participation financially unviable. He instead plans to sell his inventory later at full price.
Kim Vaccarella, CEO of Bogg Bag, a China-made tote bag company, has decided to skip Prime Day while exploring manufacturing options in Cambodia and Vietnam, the report noted.

Why It's Important: Prime Day is one of Amazon's biggest sales events, generating $14.2 billion in U.S. spending last year, the report added, citing Adobe Analytics.
While Amazon told the publication that it has seen strong interest from sellers for this year's event, consultants say many sellers are making tough decisions amid uncertainty.
Amazon has not yet announced the exact date for Prime Day, which is expected to span four days in July.
Previously, it was reported that third-party sellers on Amazon and Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44942555/amazon-and-walmart-third-party-sellers-reportedly-stash-products-in-canada-to-dodge-trump-tariffs-is-the-trade-war-gamble-worth-it">reportedly moving inventory</a> to Canada, hoping the trade tensions will ease in the near future.
Price Action: Amazon (AMZN) shares fell 0.68% on Monday, closing at $187.80. The stock is down 14.77% year-to-date, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Despite the decline, Amazon holds a strong growth score of 94.17% in the Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it compares to</a> Walmart and other top e-commerce competitors.

Trump's 145% China Tariffs Spark Seller Backlash As Amazon Prime Day 2025 Faces Pullouts And Discount Cuts: Report

A former Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) employee offers a brief primer on the company&#8217;s products, pricing, and prospects over the next few years, particularly in defense and AI.
What Happened: On Monday, AlphaSense, a market intelligence platform that helps analysts and researchers connect with industry experts, shared the transcript of one such interaction between an analyst and an ex-Palantir employee, who served as the expert.
The expert, who remains anonymous, offered several key insights during the nearly hour-long conversation, starting with the platform&#8217;s churn and retention rates. 
The biggest cause of churn for Palantir is a change in leadership on the client&#8217;s side, if the new leadership wants to head in a new direction, they say, &#8220;The big competition for Palantir is always in-house development.&#8221;

According to the expert, Palantir&#8217;s Foundry platform is not as &#8220;sticky&#8221; or deeply entrenched as SAP SE (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAP#NYSE">SAP</a>), but it is better than Salesforce Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>). This is attributed to its horizontal and vertical integration across an organization, such as finance and engineering departments working with the same underlying data structures.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Interview with a former <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24PLTR&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">$PLTR</a> employee on <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24PLTR&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">$PLTR</a>&#39;s strength and future potential: &#8211; The expert explains that while <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24PLTR&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">$PLTR</a>&#39;s Foundry platform is sticky, it is not as deeply entrenched as <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24SAP&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">$SAP</a>, but much more so than solutions like <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24CRM&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">$CRM</a>.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Foundry can be replaced if the organization is committed to doing so, but it will be a &#8220;slow, costly, and complex process,&#8221; they warn.
Coming to competitive dynamics, they add that in a &#8220;typical case,&#8221; the company goes head-to-head with a combination of different tools that are &#8220;stitched together in-house.&#8221; This involves Snowflake Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>), DataBricks Inc., and Microsoft Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) Power BI solution, among others, all coming together.
The former employee says that Microsoft is currently the only company that is trying to provide an end-to-end platform similar to Foundry, and is therefore the only legacy player that Palantir is going against. 
On pricing, the expert says that Palantir offers a bespoke approach, with no transparent pricing information for products and services. &#8220;There&#8217;s always a negotiation,&#8221; they say, while adding that a consumption-based pricing model is not suitable, considering the high implementation costs involved. 
They then highlight Palantir&#8217;s growing moats in the defense space, pointing to its FedRAMP app store, which they say is &#8220;very hard to replicate.&#8221; This means that other cloud service providers can sell to the U.S. Government by coming under Palantir&#8217;s umbrella. 
The classified workflows that have to go through the platform result in a huge cut for the company, thus becoming a major moat, according to the expert.
When asked if Palantir can retain its functionality gap and leading position in this segment, the expert answers that if they stop innovating now, they still risk being replaced by cheaper and more capable alternatives.
Why It Matters: Recently, Palantir received the backing of Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood, who believes the company will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45031959/cathie-wood-backs-palantir-to-dominate-enterprise-ai-with-microsofts-excel-on-the-back-foot">dominate enterprise AI</a>, disrupting Microsoft&#8217;s lead in the process. However, Wood <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45057303/cathie-wood-chops-palantir-ark-invest-dumps-9-1-million-worth-of-stock-also-sells-meta-and-robinhood-shares">sold $9.1 million </a>worth of Palantir shares on Monday.
The stock has been soaring in recent weeks, after the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/45019174/palantir-stock-soars-on-defense-deals-whats-going-on">inked a string of defense deals</a> with leading contractors, positioning it as a defense technology leader, and not just a data analytics company, in the lead up to its quarterly earnings, the coming month.
The battlefield, too, is tilting in favor of Palantir, which plans to roll out an <a href="https://benzinga.com/trading-ideas/technicals/25/04/44947382/palantir-rolls-out-tanks-microsoft-builds-clouds-whos-winning-ais-next-frontier">AI-powered combat vehicle</a>, while Microsoft remains on the back foot in defense, ploughing ahead with its &#8220;castles in the cloud&#8221; strategy.
Price Action: Palantir&#8217;s stock is up 1.71% on Monday, and down 0.22% in after-hours trade. The stock is up 52.5% year-to-date, despite a sell-off in the broader markets.
