Big investors are buying this “unlisted” stock
When the founder who sold his last company to Zillow for $120M starts a new venture, people notice. That’s why the same VCs who backed Uber, Venmo, and eBay also invested in Pacaso.
Disrupting the real estate industry once again, Pacaso’s streamlined platform offers co-ownership of premier properties, revamping the $1.3T vacation home market.
And it works. By handing keys to 2,000+ happy homeowners, Pacaso has already made $110M+ in gross profits in their operating history.
Now, after 41% YoY gross profit growth last year alone, they recently reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

CommScope Soars 42% on Reported $10.5B Unit Sale
CommScope Holding Company Inc. [COMM] is surging in premarket trading after reports surfaced that Amphenol is close to acquiring its broadband connectivity and cable business for $10.5 billion, including debt. The division, CommScope’s largest, generated $2.8 billion in sales last year and has drawn interest from both strategic and private equity buyers.
This would be the second major asset sale between the companies in less than a year. Amphenol previously purchased CommScope’s mobile-networks business for over $2 billion, signaling its interest in expanding within the communications infrastructure market.
For CommScope, the sale would be a significant step toward reducing its sizable debt load and refocusing on core operations. The company has been under pressure from weaker customer demand and a highly leveraged balance sheet, prompting it to divest non-core assets.
A deal announcement could come as early as today, according to sources. Traders are watching closely for confirmation of the terms and expected closing date. If completed, the transaction could substantially improve CommScope’s financial flexibility and potentially unlock shareholder value.
Shares jumped nearly 42% in premarket trading on the news, extending a year-to-date rally of more than 50% prior to this move. The market reaction reflects both relief over the debt reduction prospects and optimism that the company’s restructuring plan is gaining traction.
With communications infrastructure demand still uneven, the success of CommScope’s turnaround will hinge on how effectively it deploys sale proceeds and stabilizes its remaining business units in the quarters ahead.
Conglomerates
Berkshire Profit Slips as Tariff Concerns Linger
Berkshire Hathaway Inc. [BRK.A] reported Q2 operating earnings of $11.16 billion, a 4% decline from the prior year, as weaker insurance underwriting weighed on results. Performance in railroads, energy, manufacturing, service, and retail operations was stronger, helping offset the softness.
The company reiterated concerns about the potential wide-reaching effects of U.S. tariffs under the current trade policy. Management cautioned that most of its operating businesses, as well as its sizable equity portfolio, could face adverse impacts if tensions escalate further.
Berkshire’s cash reserves remain near record levels at $344.1 billion, down slightly from the $347 billion reported at the end of March. The conglomerate continued its streak as a net seller of equities for an 11th straight quarter, offloading $4.5 billion in stocks during the first half of 2025.
Notably, no share repurchases occurred during that period despite a 10% pullback from record highs earlier in the year.
One notable write-down came from its stake in Kraft Heinz, which resulted in a $3.8 billion loss as the struggling food giant explores a potential spinoff.
This was also the first earnings update since Warren Buffett announced he will step down as CEO at the end of 2025. Vice Chairman Greg Abel is set to succeed him, while Buffett will remain chairman of the board.
Investors will be watching closely in the coming quarters to see how Berkshire navigates a shifting macroeconomic backdrop and whether its historically conservative positioning pays off amid heightened trade policy uncertainty.

AI Leader Palantir Prepares for High-Stakes Q2 Report
Palantir Technologies Inc. [PLTR], one of the best-performing large-cap stocks of the past year with a 540% gain, is set to release its Q2 results after today’s market close.
Analysts expect revenue between $934 million and $938 million, representing roughly 47% year-over-year growth, driven by strong adoption of its Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP). Palantir has expanded rapidly across both government and commercial markets.
U.S. government contracts remain the backbone, delivering the majority of revenue, while commercial business has surged thanks to demand for AI-powered decision tools in industries ranging from healthcare to manufacturing. Last quarter, U.S. commercial revenue jumped 71%, and government revenue climbed 45% year-over-year.
Key metrics to watch include customer growth, which rose 46% annually in Q1, and the company’s contract backlog, or remaining performance obligations (RPO), which reached $1.9 billion. Investors will be looking for backlog growth above $2.05 billion to confirm momentum.
Valuation remains a focal point, with Palantir trading at a P/E ratio above 670 and a forward multiple near 270. These lofty levels leave little margin for error. A revenue miss or slowing deal activity could trigger a sharp downside, while an upside surprise could push the stock to fresh all-time highs above $160.
Given its extraordinary rally, Palantir’s Q2 report could be a market-moving event in the AI sector. The results will not only test whether the growth story can keep pace with investor expectations but may also help define sentiment toward high-valuation AI leaders heading into the second half of 2025.

Movers and Shakers
SharpLink Gaming Inc [SBET] – Last Close: $17.14
SharpLink Gaming develops technology solutions and platforms for sports betting and online gaming markets. Its products integrate gaming content and analytics to engage users and enhance sportsbook operator performance.
Shares are up over 4.4% in premarket trading, largely moving in tandem with crypto market gains as the stock has shown a strong correlation to digital asset sentiment. Despite sector-wide headwinds and recent revenue challenges, traders are eyeing the bounce as a possible short-term momentum play tied to broader speculative flows.
My Take: SBET remains highly volatile and closely linked to risk-on sentiment in both gaming and crypto. For short-term traders, this premarket pop could extend if digital assets rally, but fundamentals still demand caution for long-term positioning.
Kiniksa Pharmaceuticals International PLC [KNSA] – Last Close: $31.98
Kiniksa Pharmaceuticals focuses on developing and commercializing therapies for immunological and inflammatory diseases. The company’s marketed products and pipeline target conditions with high unmet medical needs.
The stock is up more than 11% in premarket trading after passing multiple technical and fundamental screens for sustained momentum. A recent streak of upward earnings estimate revisions suggests institutional confidence ahead of upcoming catalysts. Technical traders are watching for a breakout.
My Take: KNSA has both momentum and strong analyst support. If volume follows through today, it could attract further trend-based buying, especially given its proximity to new highs.
Loews Corporation [L] – Last Close: $90.29
Loews is a diversified holding company with operations in insurance, energy, hospitality, and investments. Key subsidiaries include CNA Financial, Boardwalk Pipelines, and Loews Hotels.
Shares are up modestly in early trading after Q2 net income rose 6% year-over-year to $391 million. Gains in the pipeline and corporate segments offset weakness in CNA Financial. The company also repurchased $251 million in stock during the quarter, and book value per share rose to $84.42.
My Take: While L is not a high-volatility mover, steady earnings growth, shareholder returns, and diversified operations make it a stable watchlist name for investors seeking defensive exposure with capital discipline.
