Kim Bolton Palantir Technologies PLTR-Q TRADE Apr 23, 2025

He's cautious. Fast-growing software name in the fast-growing business intelligence space. Probably one of the most expensive names out there in its universe, as it's seeing huge inroads with government and industry. 

Half its business is government, and that's slowing outside the US due to moves by the US administration. Europe, for example, has been highly reliant on the US for defense. That's changing, as they try to repatriate a lot of those services.

Previous high flyer, down 33% from recent highs. High beta and stretched valuation. 152x (yes, that's right) forward PE for 31% growth. Attracts a certain aura given that it's in AI and defense with inelastic demand.

Defence shouldn't be working, given the pullback from Ukraine, but maybe we are building up as tensions rise with China. Prefers PLTR in this space, perhaps the #1 meme stock with a CEO who whips people into a frenzy.

Quite the high flyer. Valuation of 177x forward PE keeps him at bay. EPS forecast growth rate ~31%. Priced for perfection. Decent numbers at last report, guided higher, yet shares fell -- sign that investors are looking for results beyond perfection. Near all-time highs. Heavy reliance on large government contracts.

Loves it. Cutting edge and a leader in the defence space. But the valuation is too high (192x forward PE). He's been watching it a long time. He missed this completely.

Yes, their fundamentals are great, but the valuation is too high. Maybe will enter on a pullback.

He just bought it, even though its valuation is very high (192x forward PE). Earnings were fantastic. He likes what they're doing in the commercial side, up 70% YOY, and not just relying on government contracts. They have to grow into their high multiple and it is volatile.

Well-run, and produces superior technology that pays for itself almost immediately. They have a strong defence business. Growth and margins are expanding. But shares trade at 220x earnings--ridiculously expensive. But traders don't care. PLTR is the most successful speculative stock. He targets $200, seriously. Take profits before you get hurt, because someone always does in a spec stock.
