This summary was created by AI, based on 32 opinions in the last 12 months.
Palantir Technologies (PLTR-Q) has impressed analysts with remarkable revenue growth, particularly in its government contracts, which saw a significant increase in recent results. The company reported a 93% year-over-year growth in its commercial segment, contributing to a broader narrative of accelerating enterprise adoption. However, the stock is often described as expensive, trading at high price-to-earnings ratios that raise valuation concerns among experts. Despite the optimism around its AI capabilities and government partnerships, there remains a cautious sentiment regarding potential risks associated with its dependency on government contracts and market volatility. Some analysts recommend holding or buying on dips, while others advise waiting for a more favorable valuation before entering the market.
Only drawback is that the stock's very expensive. So there's no good valuation support, and she doesn't own it.
But nothing really wrong with the story, so she wouldn't recommend a Sell. If you liked it a month ago, nothing has changed. Pretty well positioned on defense. Fundamentals are in favour of it, so she'd hold.
For these high-beta stocks, you can't be getting nervous about them. If you don't want to stomach the high volatility, look for a more diversified solution or for a stock that's less volatile.
PLTR's numbers were solid: 63% revenue growth, high margins, strong balance sheet, and guidance was raised. Business is good. But the stock dropped, on usual valuation concerns. Also, Michael Burry (famous from 'The Big Short') has bet against the company, and this has worried some investors. EPS of 21c beat estimates of 17c; revenue of $1.18B beat estimates of $1.09B. EBITDA of $606B beat estimates by 21%. Palantir's accelerated sales cycle continues to be fueled by expanding use of its Ontology product with large language models for mission-critical applications. US Commercial customer growth eased slightly to 9% sequentially vs. 12% in the prior two quarters, while remaining deal value growth improved to 30% in 3Q from 20% in 2Q, indicating larger up-front orders. The net retention rate climbed to 134%, with strong results in the Government segment serving as a key driver. Though Palantir's Commercial segment gains outside the US remain tepid, the company likely lifted its US win rates against traditional data-warehousing vendors by using its Ontology offering to differentiate integrations with frontier LLM providers.

Since September, it's been in a downtrend. Maybe the chart is basing, maybe. Wants to see a breakout first.
