Palantir Technologies, symbol PLTR-Q, has generated significant buzz in the market, with reviews praising its robust 93% year-over-year growth and strong profitability, especially in its government contracts. Despite the impressive financials, many analysts express concerns over the company's high valuation, with price-to-earnings ratios soaring above 600x in some assessments, making it a challenging investment. The stock has been highly volatile, and while some experts recommend holding due to its strong fundamentals and customer loyalty, others caution against the risks associated with such high valuations and dependence on government contracts. Overall, the company's growth prospects in AI and government defense applications are acknowledged, and some analysts have set optimistic price targets, but the consensus on valuation remains critical, leading to mixed investment sentiments.

DON'T BUY

Distinguish between the company's fundamentals and how the market prices this stock. PLTR does big-data analysis with the U.S. government. Earnings have been distressed, but this is a nascent company. They are expanding beyond Washington for new contracts, so watch if revenue grows. How far into the future have investors priced in their success? 40x revenues. So, the market thinks PLTR is the future, but he doesn't want to buy a company with a 10-year projection like this. Too long. Too far.

BUY

Reports Tuesday morning. It's loved by the Reddit short traders. This could be another opportunity to buy. Shares are down from around $25 when the Reddit folks drove up the price.

BUY

Poster child for AI. Data massaging and SaaS. A more solid runway in front of it than C3.ai.

COMMENT

Likes it, but they don't divulge much information--it's a black box. Cathy Wood, though, could take this stock higher.

WAIT

Software to protect privacy. Went public last September. Trades at 40x revenue, very expensive. High expectations. Has had a really hard time since January. Great future, but not here today. A great company. Technicals are broken right now, so wait till they improve. Tech doesn't have momentum right now.

BUY

A fascinating business, though not in his wheelhouse. The next level of growth will come from companies that better manage data--and PLTR does this very well. This company will grow the commercial side of their business and do well. The high valuation is an issue for some investors. Like Shopify, this will likely grow into its high valuation.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

2020 IPOs cost too much, and are worth buying now that they are out of style and cheaper. He weakly recommended buying below $10, which happened in its first day of trading. This became a Reddit short, peaking at $45 in January stocking and has plunged to $24. It's a black box to really understand it. Buy below $20.

COMMENT

Risk is it becoming a momentum machines. Past performance draws in more dollars for a certain time. Mid-Feb and March saw a real sell-off. Be careful of expensive growth stocks. Not convinced they will start another major uptrend. There are more macro influences favouring reasonably priced value stocks. Not a lot of history and no earnings yet. Pure growth story. No metrics to value it on. Sentiment could sour and fall. Manage your risk and be prepared to sell.

BUY

Leadership in AI. Has attracted top talent. Price target is $33.

DON'T BUY

A great growth company based on government contracts, but he doesn't know what those contracts are about. It's a black box, so he'll pass.

BUY

Companies will need to increase cybersecurity from attacks which are inevitable. Such stocks will benefit with a massive growth tailwind from this reality, including Palantir. PLTR has held well in recent weeks at support levels while similar SPAC names flagged.

DON'T BUY

The most controversial stock in this market, because Ark keeps buying. Last quarter was merely okay. Smart managers, but this stock is such a battleground.

TOP PICK

Some volatility. Leaders, along with c3.ai, in AI. Cutting edge in AI. Two platforms, one for government and one for commercial businesses. Helps people make better decisions, and it works. Buy 1/2 here around $26, and if you're lucky, another 1/2 around $22. Price target of $38. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $27.38)

DON'T BUY

Involved in big data. Excellent earnings, revenues projected to rise, stock price fell. How could this happen? Investors got giddy about the future, and the stock price got ahead of its fundamentals. Good company, lots of opportunity. Be aware that it has only the one customer in the US government and CIA.
