Palantir - Overvalued but Strong 👍

1 144
-Palantir (NYSE:PLTR) stock is trying to make a comeback. Don’t feel bad for it since it’s still up 140%, which is five times more than the S&P 500.

-Recently the bulls suffered a blow going into the earnings. It is relatively weak because it has shed 60% of its value from the January highs. The dip was an absolute opportunity to buy into it or add to current positions. Consider that my not-so-secret conclusion and I will back up my story next.

-There are a few dozen stocks that are the weapons in the Reddit versus hedge funds battle. PLTR falls on and off it, so it is messing with the natural price path of a quality stock. The January super-spike artificially exhausted the buyers. The bulls are still trying to recover from it and rebuild the base for long-term success.

-The Palantir profit-and-loss statement shows their progress in black and white. There is no speculation in knowing that they have $1.2 billion reasons a year to be optimistic. They doubled their total revenues since 2018.

-The company still loses money but that’s part of being a growing business. Profitability is not as an important a statistic as growth. It is not cheap and it doesn’t need to be, just ask those who invested in Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) early. Impressive growth does not come cheap, and those who skimp will get mediocre results at best.

-PLTR stock will do well for as long as the stock market is bullish. Demand for their products and services is but a guarantee for years. They do have competition but they started early enough that they deserve early-mover credits. IBM (NYSE:IBM) has been touting AI prowess for over a decade. These guys are beating them to the punch in making it an actual business.
