Netflix, Inc.

Paramount Skydance Corporation

In December, the oldest movie studio in Hollywood Warner Bros. Discovery unfolded a struggle: streaming service Netflix on December 5 <a href="https://oninvest.com/article/netflix-nacal-ekskluzivnye-peregovory-o-pokupke-warner-bros-cem-opasna-sdelka">made an</a> offer to buy part of its business for $83 billion. Paramount Skydance heir Oracle three days later put up its price: $108 billion for the entire Warner Bros. Discovery.

Meta Platforms, Inc.

Unlike most AI startups, Meta is already successfully monetizing artificial intelligence, attributing 22% revenue growth in the second quarter of 2025 to it. In a<a href="https://s21.q4cdn.com/399680738/files/doc_financials/2025/q2/META-Q2-2025-Earnings-Call-Transcript.pdf"> call with investors</a> in July, Mark Zuckerberg listed six opportunities for business growth, five of which are utilitarian applications of AI. One of the potential utilization models, the creation of virtual influencers, involved the corporation in a high-profile scandal earlier this year. Oninvest takes a look at how Meta got out of it and what conclusions it drew.

Apple Inc.

Alphabet Inc.

Apple is leaving AI chief Robbie Walker, sources told Bloomberg on Friday. He was responsible for creating a new Web search engine to compete with Perplexity and ChatGPT. It was scheduled to launch next year - and was expected to close Apple's gap in the AI race. The news of the alleged departure of a key employee came 3 days after the traditional iPhone presentation. Journalist Roman Mighty wrote why Apple decided not to catch up with competitors, but to use their developments - as it was already under Steve Jobs.

The Walt Disney Company

Streaming service Netflix plans to open two theme parks - in Philadelphia and Texas - by the end of the year, and another in Las Vegas in 2027. The company is investing heavily in gaming and sports streaming and calls the TV show market "an obvious growth point." The all-around expansion in entertainment is making the online movie theater more and more like Disney. Journalist Roman Mighty broke down for Onivest whether this strategy can bring the company growth to its planned trillion-dollar capitalization.

Palantir Technologies Inc.

Citigroup Inc.

Palantir's capitalization exceeded $400 billion after the publication of a successful quarterly report. The American company specializing in intelligence gathering and processing showed a 48% growth in revenue in the second quarter (ended June 30) to more than $1 billion. In a <a href="https://www.palantir.com/q2-2025-letter/en/">statement</a> to shareholders, founder Alexander Karp said that the company plans to become "the dominant software developer of the future". For Onivest, journalist Roman Mighty looked into why Palantir is attracting investor attention and why human rights and civil rights activists don't like a future that could be dominated by such a company.

Several music bands<a href="https://pitchfork.com/news/king-gizzard-and-the-lizard-wizard-leave-spotify/">have removed</a> their albums from the streaming service Spotify due to the investment policy of the streaming service's founder and CEO Daniel Ek. The reason was his involvement in the military AI technology business. Musicians explain their departure by their unwillingness to have their art associated with war. For Oninvest, Roman Mighty examined how the development of the global market for AI-technology weapons and military robots is leading to the emergence of new companies with a billion-dollar valuation - and at the same time to fierce ethical disputes.
