Palantir Technologies (PLTR)

Fabulous earnings back in February, tremendous outlook, and government contracts with US Army. Pressure on SaaS companies overdone. A Buy now, and a long-term hold. 

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.

Was up 135% last year, but trades at 175x PE. Remains one of the fastest-growing stocks, up 3.68% today alone.

Though up 148% this year, it still has room to run. It just entered a terrific contract with the US Navy to build better submarines. He expects more Pentagon contracts.

A strong CEO. Keeps beating expectations. Good margins. Don't short it. Yes it's richly valued at almost 300x PE.

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.

Bury is a great investor. Palantir is a more speculative business model with a strong retail investor following.

Now becoming a core player in AI decision-making. New AI platform driving over 40% revenue growth YOY. US government continues to rely heavily on it for defense and intelligence software. Government sales up more than 50%, and commercial adoption accelerating. PE ratio more than 600x. Value: 2/10.

Hold, or take some profits off the table. On a healthy pullback, she'd take a look at it.

Let it run if you hold, unless the fundamentals change, and the fundamentals are strong.

Added again yesterday. 12-month price target of $180.50. The place to work on AI in Silicon Valley. $363B market cap. So popular because total addressable market is massive. CEO is one of the smartest guys in the Valley. No dividend.

Is up 407% the past year, one of the best stocks on the S&P. Is heavily bought on dips. Their numbers are stunning, but the PE is at nosebleed levels. Is an attractive high-risk stock.

No contest. NVDA is the one to own.

NVDA has run up, but fundamentals are outstanding. Clear technical superiority in AI chips. AI infrastructure buildout will keep order books full for a long time. Major beneficiary of AI capex.
