Dow Jones2026/10/08 17:251325 ET - Palantir is positioned to benefit as the growth of the market for bespoke software and sovereign AI outpaces that of the market for packaged software, according to Goldman Sachs in a note. Palantir is expanding its vertical model deeper into financials services, semiconductors, and neoclouds, analysts Gabriela Borges and Maura Hager say, while enterprises are increasingly looking to build AI tools that capitalize on their existing operating moats and aren't reliant on frontier models. They also say Palantir has a head start in using AI agents as forward-deployed engineers, and that the company has an opportunity to expand its work with the U.S. government. Goldman upgrades Palantir to buy from neutral. Palantir is up 1.6%. (elias.schisgall@wsj.com) (END) Dow Jones Newswires October 08, 2026 13:25 ET (17:25 GMT)

BUZZ - Morningstar expects Woodside's revenue growth will outpace global peers by the end of this decade
On October 9, Morningstar predicted that the revenue of Australian oil and gas producer Woodside Energy (WDS.AX) will grow by over 30% by 2030, outpacing any of its international peers. Woodside Energy’s share price dropped by 0.6% on the day to 32.12 AUD, after surging 2.6% in the previous trading session. The stock is poised to end a three-week losing streak, with oil prices rising due to escalating tensions in the Middle East, and is set for a 2.8% weekly gain O/R. Morningstar expects Woodside’s revenue to increase as major new projects come online, and forecasts free cash flow to exceed 7 billion USD after 2030, reflecting a 300% rise from 2025. The report added that market sentiment remains bearish, with the current share price below its estimated fair value of 44.00 AUD. Year-to-date, Woodside’s share price has risen 36.2%, while Santos shares are up 41.3%.
