Palantir Technologies (PLTR) presents a complex investment scenario as experts express mixed opinions about its positioning and valuation. On one hand, many highlight its strong growth prospects in AI and defense, asserting that the company is a leader in data analytics and has tremendous potential due to the rising importance of AI in industry and military applications. Conversely, concerns are raised about its exorbitant valuation metrics, with forward P/E ratios reaching levels that some investors deem impractical given current and projected growth rates. Additionally, the stock's volatility and association with meme trading create uncertainties, as many suggest that it may be overbought currently. Despite these differing viewpoints, a shared sentiment suggests caution, advising potential investors to wait for a pullback before considering entry points.

Valuation

RISKY

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.

DON'T BUY

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.

DON'T BUY

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

BUY

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.

SELL

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.

TRADE

King of the hill in data analytics solutions, especially in AI agents. Likes it for trading options around. On Monday and Tuesday, he sold some puts tiered just under the strike price. He's looking to pick it up at a good price. If it does go lower, you can sell some calls on top of it. 

Has enough volatility that you can trade it. It is investable, too, but in the Trump era you need a stronger stomach.

BUY

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.

DON'T BUY

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.

DON'T BUY

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.

DON'T BUY

Don't get in front of this side on the short side. Meme traders push this up in the morning before the market opens.

DON'T BUY

Look at the chart. The CEO went on TV and shot himself in the head; his comments spooked the market, feeling that the CEO is a loose canon. In terms of PR, Palantir is in the penalty box for a while.

BUY

Rolled over after Trump said defense was ripe for cost-cutting. You could pick it up here around $91, but probably won't go under $80. The place to go for data analytics. 

DON'T BUY

Down 10.5% today, but still up 10% for February, down because it's had a parabolic move. It needs big contracts to re-set the narrative.

DON'T BUY

Budget cuts at the Pentagon and their chief accountant quitting were headwings. Also, shares were parabolic and became expensive.
