Chip Stocks Eye Policy Shifts; Palantir Draw Scrutiny

Qualcomm rebounds ahead of product summit, AI infrastructure stocks tied to U.S.-China talks, Palantir faces bearish pressure

AI & Semiconductors

Neutral
QCOMINTC
Qualcomm ($QCOM) traded higher following its worst decline in three months, with investors focused on the upcoming Snapdragon Summit for cues on the company's smartphone chip roadmap.
Intel ($INTC) appeared among AI infrastructure and semiconductor stocks sensitive to policy developments, as AI policy is being written in real time, from a proposed U.S. "AI Force" to fresh talks between Washington and Beijing. The mix of support, softer regulatory signals and closer U.S.-China dialogue is pulling certain AI infrastructure and semiconductor stocks into the spotlight.
Intel ($INTC) also appeared on a list of cash-producing stocks approached with caution, as analysts noted that while strong cash flow indicates stability, it does not always translate to superior returns, with some cash-heavy businesses struggling with inefficient spending, slowing demand, or weak competitive positioning.

Enterprise Software

PLTRHPE
Palantir ($PLTR) continues to draw divided opinions, with "The Big Short" investor Michael Burry maintaining his short position on the AI stock even as it rebounds, stating there is "a lot of" money still to be made shorting the company.
Palantir ($PLTR) received its highest-ever price target from Wall Street analysts, though European markets are showing resistance. The company's Q2 2026 growth is almost entirely driven by U.S. operations, according to reports noting that Europe has started saying no to the company.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise ($HPE) appeared among S&P 500 stocks targeted for investor attention, with the company identified as one that has built a dominant market position and continues to innovate and expand for long-term success.

Big Tech & Regulation

Neutral
META
Meta ($META) is positioned at the center of AI discussions in Trump-Xi talks, with economic stakes around AI remaining especially high while safety is becoming a key issue as well.

Looking Ahead

Neutral
QCOM
Investors are focused on Qualcomm's ($QCOM) Snapdragon Summit this week as a pivotal product event that could clarify the company's smartphone chip roadmap. AI policy developments continue to unfold, with proposed initiatives like a U.S. "AI Force" and ongoing U.S.-China dialogue expected to influence semiconductor and AI infrastructure positioning.
Everbridge will host its European Operational Resilience Summit on the 6th of October at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany.
