CNBC Halftime Report Final Trades: Toast, Nexstar Media Group, Salesforce, Intuitive Surgical

Doctors are ditching the hospital grind for corporate boardrooms. And with $275,000 salaries, better hours, and less stress, it's easy to see why.
The rise of chief medical officers in tech, startups, and even companies like Google and Salesforce (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NASDAQ">CRM</a>) is pulling more doctors away from clinical roles. They're trading 12-hour shifts for leadership positions that still <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/partner/health-care/25/01/42901251/the-silent-revenue-killer-in-us-healthcare-and-the-tech-that-is-fighting-back">impact healthcare</a>—just on a bigger scale.
Why Doctors Are Making the Switch
For Dr. Lisa Shah, the shift was about scale. She loved treating patients but left exhausted every day. Losing them took a toll.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mark-cubans-advice-for-lotto-winners">Many are surprised by Mark Cuban's advice for lotto winners: Cash or annuity?</a></li>
<li>Can you guess how many retire with a $5,000,000 nest egg? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/5mil-nest-egg-adv">The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
</ul>
Now, as CMO at Twin Health, a health tech startup using AI to monitor metabolism, she's helping treat populations instead of just one patient at a time.
&#8220;We&#8217;re seeing a lot of chief medical officers coming on board to grant that clinical, medical legitimacy to whatever products people are developing,&#8221; Chris Myers, a Johns Hopkins professor, told Business Insider.
The COVID-19 pandemic only accelerated the trend. Burnout soared. A Bain &amp; Company survey found that one in four clinicians were considering leaving medicine.
And the pay? Still solid. ZipRecruiter (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZIP#NYSE">ZIP</a>) says CMOs earn around $275,000 per year—comparable with a doctor's salary but without the brutal hours.
Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl"> you can become an investor for $0.80 per share today.</a>
A Growing Trend in Health Tech
Health tech is booming. It's expected to hit $1.5 trillion by 2032, growing at nearly 19% per year, <a href="https://rockhealth.com/insights/2023-q1-digital-health-funding-investing-like-its-2019/">according to researchers at Rock Health</a>.&nbsp;
That means more companies need medical expertise—and they're hiring doctors to provide it.
Dr. Guy Maytal spent nearly two decades in psychiatry before joining Forge Health, a startup focused on mental health and substance use treatment.
"I could grumble on the sidelines, or roll up my sleeves and do something about it," he told Business Insider.
Trending: ‘Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">You can invest today for just $0.26/share with a $1000 minimum.</a>
The Role of CMOs in Business
Tech giants are getting in on the action. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43616463/salesforce-and-aws-pledge-500m-to-boost-ai-development-in-saudi-arabia">Salesforce</a> hired a CMO in 2019 to focus on employee health. Google added its first chief health officer the same year.
At Uber Health, Dr. Joshua Sclar now works on getting patients to medical appointments and delivering medications.
&#8220;Being a physician, I know what happens when that care is missed,&#8221; he told Business Insider.
But adjusting to corporate life isn't always easy. Dr. Nikole Benders-Hadi, CMO at TalkSpace (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TALK#NASDAQ">TALK</a>), says her biggest challenge was learning to communicate with business leaders who don't speak &#8220;doctor.&#8221;
&#8220;There can be really different end goals when you&#8217;re talking about business objectives versus healthcare objectives,&#8221; she said.

A Lifeline for Overworked Doctors?
For doctors used to on-call shifts, patient loss, and insurance battles, moving to a CMO role reduces emotional toll.
"These jobs seem stressful, but they're not life and death," said Dr. Jonathan Jaffery of the Association of American Medical Colleges.
And while America faces a shortage of 86,000 physicians by 2036, many believe CMOs aren't the problem—they're part of the solution.
Dr. Nate Favini, CMO of Pair Team, a startup connecting Medicaid patients to care, thinks technology will help fix the system.
"There's a massive opportunity to harness tech to deliver better care at a fraction of the cost," he told Business Insider.
Doctors aren't just leaving medicine. They're changing it.

10 Information Technology Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Live On CNBC, Kevin Simpson Announces Bought Salesforce

Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) CEO Alex Karp envisions the company&#8217;s legacy as strengthening Western technological supremacy while deterring adversaries, amid surging demand for artificial intelligence solutions that has driven the stock up over 350% in the past year.
What Happened: In a recent interview with Stock MVP&#8216;s Tom Nash, Karp emphasized Palantir&#8217;s role in bolstering Western software capabilities: 
&#8220;The superiority of the West in software production has made Western countries, especially America, healthier, wealthier, and stronger,&#8221; he stated, adding that he wants potential adversaries to reconsider their stance against Western nations.
This vision comes as Palantir reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43449486/palantir-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-us-revenue-up-52-customer-count-up-43-strong-guidance-this-is-a-new-phase-unlike-anything-that-has-come-before">strong fourth-quarter results</a> on Feb. 3, with revenue reaching $827.52 million, exceeding analyst expectations of $775.91 million. The company&#8217;s U.S. commercial revenue surged 64% year-over-year to $214 million, while government contracts contributed $343 million, up 45% from the previous year.

Why It Matters: Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives sees Palantir potentially emerging as a dominant force in AI software, comparing it to industry giants Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) and Salesforce Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>).

Despite Palantir&#8217;s elevated valuation metrics, including a price-to-earnings ratio of 613.95 and market capitalization of $258 billion, former hedge fund manager Martin Shkreli projects the company&#8217;s operational cash flow to reach $1.8 billion in 2025 and $2.7 billion by 2026. The company has forecast revenue of $3.75 billion for 2025, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43485885/pharma-bro-martin-shkreli-defends-palantirs-valuation-amid-24-surge-says-ai-firms-cash-flow-justifies-expensive-price">surpassing analyst estimates.</a>
The stock&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PLTR/analyst-ratings">consensus price target</a> stands at $65.50, based on 23 analyst ratings, though recent assessments from Citigroup, RBC Capital, and UBS suggest an average target of $85, indicating potential downside from current levels around $117.
Price Action: Palantir closed at $117.39, up 4.24% on Wednesday, and rose 0.21% after hours to $117.64. Year to date, it&#8217;s up 56.12%, surging 368.62% over the past year, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Palantir CEO Alex Karp Says Western Software Superiority Will Make America 'Stronger' As Burgeoning AI Demand Pushes Stock Up 368%

Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) is riding a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/25/02/43622437/meta-outperforms-magnificent-7-as-16-day-streak-puts-bulls-in-control">16-day win streak thanks</a> to its aggressive AI initiatives, while Tesla Inc.

What Happened: On Tuesday, while appearing on a CNBC segment, Ives highlighted Meta's AI-driven monetization strategy.
"It's about monetizing those three and a half billion DAUs," he said, adding that AI innovations "could be an incremental $100 per share" for Meta as the company ramps up its efforts.
Tesla has faced <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43591152/tariffs-trade-wars-teslas-dilemma-is-the-ev-boom-hitting-a-roadblock">challenges in the EV sector</a>, he said but Ives believes its future lies beyond just cars. "It's about autonomous. It's about ultimate robotics. That's really the future. That's why we're bullish on Tesla," he stated.

He discussed the impact of the Jevons Paradox on AI infrastructure investment, suggesting that as costs decrease, investment will rise.
However, he said that the software aspect is where significant growth is expected, with companies like Palantir Technologies Inc.

Meta's AI Push Could Add $100 Per Share While Tesla Faces EV Headwinds: Top Analyst

Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives predicts Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) could emerge as a dominant force in the artificial intelligence software landscape, comparing it to industry giants Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) and Salesforce Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>).
What Happened: In a CNBC interview <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjS1KOIuy_0">on</a> Tuesday, Ives highlighted the multiplier effect of AI infrastructure spending, noting that &#8220;for every dollar spent on Nvidia chip, there&#8217;s an 8 to $10 multiplier across tech, across the ecosystem software.&#8221; He emphasized that this trend is particularly evident in companies like Palantir and Salesforce.
The analyst&#8217;s bullish stance on Palantir comes amid the company&#8217;s remarkable stock performance, with shares up nearly 350% over the past year. The AI software firm recently reported strong fourth-quarter results, with revenue reaching $827.52 million, exceeding analyst expectations of $775.91 million.
Ives pointed to Jevons Paradox &#8211; an economic theory suggesting increased efficiency leads to higher demand &#8211; as a key driver of AI software adoption. &#8220;This is the software age that&#8217;s now starting to take place,&#8221; Ives stated, predicting &#8220;a massive spending wave in 2025.

Despite Palantir&#8217;s high valuation metrics, including a price-to-earnings ratio of 613.95 and market capitalization of $258 billion, former hedge fund manager Martin Shkreli projects the company&#8217;s cash flow from operations to reach $1.8 billion in 2025 and $2.7 billion by 2026, suggesting potential <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43485885/pharma-bro-martin-shkreli-defends-palantirs-valuation-amid-24-surge-says-ai-firms-cash-flow-justifies-expensive-price">justification for the premium valuation</a>.
The stock&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PLTR/analyst-ratings">consensus price target</a> stands at $65.50, based on 23 analyst ratings. The highest target is $125, while the lowest is $7.50. The most recent ratings from Citigroup, RBC Capital, and UBS suggest an average price target of $85, implying a 24.95% downside from current levels.

Dan Ives Says Palantir Could Be Next Oracle Or Salesforce As AI Boom Drives Massive Software Spending, Highlights 8-10x Multiplier Effect

Cloud software leader,&nbsp;Salesforce (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>), has declared its intention&nbsp;to invest $500 million in&nbsp;Saudi Arabia to bolster artificial intelligence (AI) development.
What Happened: Salesforce will roll out Hyperforce, its platform architecture, in Saudi Arabia in a strategic alliance with Amazon Web Services (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>). The company announced that it will collaborate with Capgemini, Deloitte, Globant, IBM (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NASDAQ">IBM</a>) and PwC to expand the use of Agentforce, its customer service agent solution, and introduce Arabic language support for its AI-related product suite.
The announcement was made at the LEAP 2025 global tech event in Saudi Arabia, where the country secured $14.9 billion in fresh AI investments. This initiative aligns with Salesforce&#8217;s broader strategy in the region, which involves setting up a regional headquarters in Riyadh and equipping 30,000 Saudi citizens with new skills by 2030.

Why It Matters:&nbsp;This investment comes on the heels of Salesforce&#8217;s recent strategic moves in the AI sector. Last week,&nbsp;the company cut 1,000 jobs while simultaneously<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43452478/salesforce-cuts-1000-jobs-but-ramps-up-hiring-for-ai-sales-roles"> ramping up hiring for AI sales roles</a>. The company was said to be hiring 2,000 employees for sales roles to promote its artificial intelligence products, as announced by CEO Marc Benioff in December.
This latest investment in Saudi Arabia underscores Salesforce&#8217;s commitment to expanding its AI capabilities and footprint globally. The company is not just focussing on enhancing its AI initiatives but is also concerned about its environmental impact. Yesterday, it launched a tool, AI Energy Score, in partnership with Hugging Face, Cohere, and Carnegie Mellon University, to evaluate the relative energy efficiency of different AI models. Boris Gamazaychikov, Head of AI Sustainability at Salesforce emphasized how important it is have to a standardized approach to measure and disclose such information. 
Meanwhile, Wedbush analyst Dan Ives identified Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) and Salesforce as the leading AI software investments for the year. He stated in a note that 2025 will experience a surge in enterprise consumption, broad adoption of large language models (LLMs), and an expansion of generative AI applications.

Needham Reiterates Buy on Salesforce, Maintains $400 Price Target

Despite inflation worries, Americans are expected to increase their Super Bowl spending, according to a recent report. However, more fans are planning to cut back on their expenses for the big game.
What Happened: A study by LendingTree found that 75% of Americans plan to watch the Super Bowl. However, 31% of these viewers intend to cut back on their Super Bowl spending compared to last year, <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/americans-super-bowl-spending-rise-despite-inflation-worries?ref=biztoc.com">reported</a> Fox Business. This is a notable jump from the 19% who plan to increase their budget. Meanwhile, 50% of respondents expect their spending to remain unchanged.
Those planning to spend on Super Bowl festivities expect to spend an average of $142, marking a 22% increase from last year&#8217;s $116. The main expenses include food, beverages, and fan gear.
Matt Schulz, chief credit analyst&nbsp;at LendingTree stated, &#8220;Even though more people are&nbsp;saying they&#8217;re going to spend&nbsp;less, the average amount for&nbsp;people who are going to&nbsp;spend was up fairly significantly.&#8221;
The report also highlighted that 41% of Super Bowl viewers intend to place bets on the game. Most of these bettors plan to wager smaller amounts, with only 41% expecting to bet $100 or more.

Why It Matters:&nbsp;The high cost of Super Bowl ads was a concern for many viewers. A Benzinga poll also revealed that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43563633/exclusive-is-super-bowl-7m-cost-worth-it-61-say-this-while-18-admit-to-looking-up-companies-after-last-years-nfl-">61% of viewers didn&#8217;t believe</a> the high cost of these ads was worth it. LendingTree&#8217;s findings coincide with a separate study by the Bank of America Institute, which revealed that Americans&#8217; spending on spectator sports hit a record high in 2024.
The Super Bowl event of Sunday saw a host of celebrity-packed commercials, with over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43583058/super-bowl-ads-go-all-in-on-ai-stars-and-8m-price-tags-elon-musk-shared-this-advert-with-his-followers">10 spots costing</a> advertisers $8 million each. President Donald Trump made history as the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl. Besides the traditional sponsors, this year&#8217;s commercials attracted tech companies like Alphabet Inc.

Americans To Spend Big On Super Bowl, 22% Surge From Last Year Likely Despite Inflation Worries: Report

The Philadelphia Eagles&#8217; 40-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs at Super Bowl LIX marked not just a shift in NFL power dynamics but also represented another test of the event&#8217;s advertising and viewership supremacy, as industry observers await official audience numbers.
What Happened: Last month, Brian Steinberg of Variety.com noted that Nielsen&#8216;s Big Data + Panel now officially measures total audiences. Super Bowl LVIII drew 123.7 million viewers, ranking as the second most-watched television program in U.S. history after the 1969 moon landing. Even with a 10% boost to 136.7 million, that&#8217;s still far from the U.S. population of 335 million, <a href="https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/changes-to-nielsens-out-of-home-measurements-could-result-in-biggest-super-bowl-tv-audience-ever">according</a> to NBC Sports.
This year&#8217;s broadcast strategy included a streaming component through Fox&#8217;s Tubi platform. The Spanish-language rights were shared between Fox Deportes and Telemundo in an arrangement <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/05/38742147/foxs-growth-prospects-competitive-valuation-stand-out-against-disney-paramount-analyst-sees">aimed at maximizing reach</a>.
The event maintained its celebrity appeal, with notable attendees including Taylor Swift and President Donald Trump, who made history as the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl.

Why It Matters: Fox Sports sold out its premium advertising inventory months before the game, with some spots commanding $8 million for 30 seconds, according to Fox Sports Executive Vice President Mark Evans. The high-stakes advertising playground attracted major tech companies and traditional brands alike, with artificial intelligence <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43583058/super-bowl-ads-go-all-in-on-ai-stars-and-8m-price-tags-elon-musk-shared-this-advert-with-his-followers">emerging as a dominant theme</a>.
Notable advertisers included Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Google, which faced scrutiny for claims in its Gemini AI ad, Salesforce Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) featuring Matthew McConaughey, and Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) with a star-studded spot featuring Chris Pratt and Chris Hemsworth. In a significant return to Super Bowl advertising, Nike Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) broke its 27-year hiatus with a women-empowerment-themed commercial.
