The Trouble With Tariffs + Why Palantir Could Dominate AI — ft. Aswath Damodaran

Scott and Ed open the show by discussing the potential tariffs on Mexico and Canada, Palantir’s earnings, and Vanguard’s largest fee cut ever. Then Aswath Damodaran, professor of finance at NYU’s Stern School of Business, returns to the show to analyze how DeepSeek’s rise reshapes the AI landscape. He shares why he hasn’t valued Palantir yet but still sees it as a potential AI leader and a prototype for the premium AI market. Aswath also weighs in on whether Tesla and Nvidia are overvalued, offers his views on tariffs, and explains why he thinks Intel has been overly punished.
