Palantir shares gained 7.7% on September 3, the same day PwC US expanded an alliance built around enterprise AI, M&A, and ERP modernization. The companies described an AI-native deals platform intended to execute transactions up to 50% faster and cut one-time costs by as much as 45%, but disclosed no new contract value. The same day, Globant introduced a MuleSoft AI Pod for Salesforce integration. Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:PLTR) and Globant S.A. (NYSE:GLOB) are packaging expertise around software in very different ways.
Palantir's bull case is productized delivery. PwC can bring industry relationships and implementation capacity, while Foundry and AIP remain the recurring platform. Palantir's Q2 revenue rose 93% to $1.94 billion, including 149% growth in U.S. commercial revenue, so the alliance lands on real momentum. Arrowstreet Capital held 20,517,115 shares at June 30 after increasing its stake by 97%.
The valuation is the obvious counterweight. A partnership announcement without disclosed revenue cannot by itself justify a large daily move. Receivables concentration, stock-based compensation, and competition from clouds and consultants deserve attention. Hedge-fund breadth had already weakened: Insider Monkey counted 86 funds holding Palantir at June 30, down from 96 at March 31.
Globant's AI Pod offers a more explicit delivery unit. Configurations support roughly six, 12, or 24 integration flows or APIs per month, and the company cited benchmarks including up to 80% automation and 15% to 25% faster time to value. That makes capacity tangible. Twenty-three hedge funds held Globant S.A. (NYSE:GLOB) in Q2, down from 25 in Q1. Pzena Investment Management reported 3,859,718 shares after adding 31%.
Globant's problem is that reusable pods can still be labor businesses. The service remains on a waitlist, the benchmark outcomes are not guaranteed customer results, and AI may pressure billing rates even as it improves productivity.

A shoe named after Dolly Parton simply had to be a stiletto — or at least have a high heel. It was no secret that Parton was a fan of sky-high footwear. Christian Louboutin took the country singer's preference for towering heels seriously, naming a family of pumps, mules and platform heels for his friend and longtime muse.
Parton passed away at the age of 80 on Aug. 25, 2026, following a battle with cancer. Not even a day later, Louboutin took to Instagram to mourn the loss, saying that he considered the "Jolene" singer to be "a true friend, a partner in sweet crimes and laughs and ALWAYS a complete inspiration." The Dolly family of Louboutin shoes has followed suit: there are the round-toe Dolly 85 pumps, the peep-toe Me Dolly mules and towering Dolly Alta platforms that are made for more than a "9 to 5" type of day.

The following Dolly Parton interviewed originally appeared in the July 1997 issue of Out magazine.
Dolly Parton is ready for dinner. All five-foot-one of her bodacious curves and Dynel blondness is perched on Frederick's of Hollywood-style mules as she moves through the lobby of the posh Pierre hotel overlooking New York's Central Park. Hers is a Southern manner both gracious and "oh my gracious."
Patsy Cline in Jessica Rabbit's body, she offers a friendly ***** o to anyone who cranes his neck to glimpse her-which is everyone. As she descends the stairs and settles into a corner banquette in the hotel cafe, the waiters stand in awe, each wearing a grin that says, It's so nice to have you back where you belong. One thing is certain: She is looking swell, this Dolly. A triumph of style over fashion in "an Azzedine shirt and a K Mart skirt," she is a star and then some. An icon, I call her. "An icon or an eyesore?" Parton shoots back.
This is definitely going to be fun.
"I can't even begin to imagine dressing up in a nice business suit and coming down to dinner," she says, after ordering seared foie gras and mashed potatoes. "I would much rather have the shock value of walking down the steps with my ***** hanging out but knowing that I've still got the same brain and the same talent. What kind of fun would I have doing it if I had to be ordinary?"

Kaia Gerber is proving that a little black dress can be worn for any occasion.
On Tuesday, Aug. 25, Gerber kicked off the 2026 US Open at Anna Wintour's celebration for Roger Federer's special Fan Week exhibition match in a sleek LBD.
"The Shards" star looked like the spitting image of her mother, Cindy Crawford, in the form-fitting '90s-inspired midi dress by Yana Matkivski, which featured a plunge neckline and a slim pencil skirt silhouette with an open back.
Gerber, who made it impossible not to do a double take as she wore her brunette locks parted to the side like her mother, topped off the look with black stiletto mules, a dainty 18K gold Panthère de Cartier watch, and one of the most beloved '90s-style handbags: a zebra print Fendi baguette.
When it comes to Gerber's personal style, the model and actress is no stranger to minimalist fashions, in a nod to '90s icons like Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, Kate Moss and, of course, Crawford.
