Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR-Q) is experiencing strong revenue growth, particularly in its government and defense sectors, achieving an impressive annual growth of around 85% in the last quarter. Despite this success, concerns surrounding its high valuation persist, with many experts noting a price-to-earnings ratio exceeding 200x, causing caution among investors. There is a considerable enthusiasm about the company's role in AI-driven analytics, which is positioned as a critical asset for many organizations. However, the volatility in its stock price, combined with contrasting sentiment due to speculation from notable investors like Michael Burry, creates a complex outlook for prospective shareholders. While the overall performance indicators support a bullish perspective, the market's reaction to valuation concerns may suggest potential risks ahead.
Large spotlight on the company, which has created massive valuation run-up. However, believes company has enormous opportunity. Government demand for data analysis within the military very strong. Eventually the innovation within the military will eventually pass to the public - which will increase revenues. Is a good investment for the long term.
Shares have jumped nearly 50% since the election, which you can't dismiss, but you can't justify its PE now. That won't stop shares from climbing higher though, because PLTR is tight with Trump. According to a Palantir report last October, there used to be 51 defence contractors, but after merging there are now only five major companies. Rather than innovative, these companies are gaming government contracts. Trump appointed Elon Musk to the new Efficency Dept. and Musk is tight with the PLTR co-founder who is also a big Trump donor. There's talk of radically changing the Pentagon's procurement process, which could stir serious problems with defence contractors. This may be why defense stocks have fallen since the election. Then, Musk openly criticized Lockheed Martin, which stirred these fears. For pure defense stocks, wait and see. This sector is untouchable.
Institutions are buying this and Tesla based on momentum--and are likely going higher--but investors shouldn't because they're ridiculously expensive on traditional metrics. Morgan Stanley sees a negative risk/reward on Palantir. It acts like a cult stock like Gamestop, but unlike that, PLTR boasts real growth with many contracts. The sell calls are way too early. This is only a buy, if you can sell it into strength.
Melted up, forcing a lot of analysts to raise price targets. He's taken 2/3 of his profit; maintaining the final 1/3, and just moving the stops up underneath it. At last quarterly earnings, everything seemed to be firing on all cylinders. Doesn't look to be turning over; seems independent of hardware/software side. Really focused on data analytics.
(Analysts’ price target is $68.80)He clipped some profits. As a technician, he can easily tell when a stock's overbought or oversold. But when a stock becomes too big a position in a portfolio, that's the decision, not what the market or the company is doing.
He expects his son to be holding this 20 years from now, as AI in this space is just becoming appreciated. However, there will be some profit-taking along the way.
His 12-month price target is $81, and today it's ~$79. Pretty evenly priced. If you own it, write some calls (2 week, not 1 week) against it, as analysts have price targets between $80-84 and there will be some resistance up there as people take profits.
King of data analytics. Total addressable market has exploded. If there was a correction, he'd buy in thirds at $76, $72, and $68.
