‘It's an Easy Call,' Says Top Investor About Palantir Stock
Palantir (NASDAQ:PLTR) stock, like any investment, requires weighing the potential rewards against the risks. While the company continues to perform exceptionally well, the primary – and arguably only – factor giving investors pause is its elevated share price.

That concern hasn't slowed the stock's momentum. Palantir shares have surged by over 500% in the past 12 months, and late last week, the company reached yet another record high. Its valuation multiples now tower over sector medians by thousands of percentage points, raising questions about whether the fundamentals can keep pace with investor enthusiasm. Next week's Q2 earnings report, scheduled for August 4th, could provide a timely reality check. It offers a critical opportunity for the company to justify its lofty valuation – or fall short of the market's high expectations. Top investor Rick Orford, who's ranked among the top 1% of stock pickers on TipRanks, is leaning toward the former scenario. He anticipates another upswing in PLTR shares following the earnings release, making it an easy call given the current trajectory. 'Should Palantir hit its Q2'25 targets – and with how the wind is blowing, that could happen – I think Palantir shareholders will be pleased. His optimism is rooted in both historical performance and Palantir's current momentum. Historically, the stock has swung an average of 17.5% following earnings – a double-edged sword, but one that Orford believes will cut favorably this time. Central to that belief is the company's AI Platform (AIP), which helped drive a 39% year-over-year revenue increase last quarter. That growth has been especially notable in Palantir's U.S. commercial segment, where AIP adoption led to a 71% revenue spike in Q1. According to Orford, this surge reflects a broader trend: companies across the country are scrambling to implement AI but often lack the in-house expertise. Palantir's AIP provides them with a ready-made solution. 'American enterprises are most likely desperate to implement AI solutions, but not all of them have the technical expertise to do so. With AIP, these enterprises get what they need to implement custom AI into their operations,' the investor explains. Orford also sees Palantir's government work as a key stabilizing force. Its deep ties to the U.S. defense sector – with multi-year, high-margin contracts – offer a steady revenue stream that cushions any slowdown in the private market. 'Palantir checks all the boxes of an exciting, growing company that's at the intersection of two major trends: enterprise AI adoption and national defense modernization,' the investor sums up. 'Analysts say Hold, but history says otherwise.' Unsurprisingly, Orford gives PLTR shares a Strong Buy rating. (To watch Orford's track record, click here) The analyst consensus on PLTR is indeed a Hold, based on 10 Hold ratings, 4 Buys, and 3 Sells. The average 12-month price target stands at $109.50, implying a 31% downside from current levels.

Should You Buy Palantir Technology Stock Before Aug. 4?
Key Points Palantir is taking the high ground in the artificial intelligence (AI) software revolution. The company has delivered nine consecutive quarters of accelerating revenue and profit growth thanks to its state-of-the-art AI solutions, and shows no signs of slowing. Its pricey valuation might send some investors packing, but its growth story will play out over the next decade. 10 stocks we like better than Palantir Technologies › The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) several years ago sparked a paradigm shift in technology that will likely continue for the next decade. Generative AI has the potential to streamline processes, increase productivity, and drive more profits to the bottom line. This has large and small businesses alike eager to join the AI revolution, but many simply don't know how to get started. Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR) recognized the need and responded accordingly. The company developed a system designed to provide real-time, data-driven solutions while providing companies with a way to get started, and the results speak for themselves. The stock has gained 421% over the past year (as of this writing) and is up 1,890% since AI went viral in late 2022. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Learn More » The company faces a key test with investors when Palantir reports its second-quarter results after the market close on Aug. 4. Given the stock's blistering returns over the past year, should investors buy Palantir stock ahead of this crucial financial report, or wait until after the results have been made public? Let's see what we can learn from the available evidence. AI before it went viral While generative AI has been all the rage over the past couple of years, Palantir has been developing data mining and AI solutions long before it became fashionable. The company worked in relative obscurity for years, designing AI-powered solutions for U.S. intelligence agencies and other federal departments. After establishing itself as the gold standard for government AI solutions, Palantir turned its attention to corporate America and created a platform that could devise elegant solutions to everyday business problems. By connecting siloed business software systems through a central dashboard, Palantir created a system that provides data-driven intelligence and actionable insights. The company's most recent brainchild, its Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP), leverages company-specific information to craft custom solutions. Many business executives are keen to benefit from the windfall of AI, but have no idea how to implement the appropriate systems. That's where Palantir comes in. Business executives and developers are partnered with Palantir engineers to create solutions for their most pressing issues. "These immersive, hands-on sessions allow new and existing customers to build live alongside Palantir engineers, all working toward the common goal of deploying AI in operations," Palantir said. Its success is irrefutable. In the first quarter, Palantir's revenue grew 39% year over year, while adjusted earnings per share (EPS) jumped 63%. That's only part of the story. Palantir's U.S. commercial revenue -- which includes AIP -- surged 71%, while the segment's customer count climbed 65%. Additionally, the segment's remaining deal value (RDV) -- which provides a glimpse into the company's future growth trajectory -- soared 127%. It's also worth noting that each of these growth rates is accelerating. Furthermore, sales and profits have ratcheted higher for nine consecutive quarters, with no signs of slowing. Wall Street's (short-term) view The stock's parabolic run over the past few years has kicked its valuation into the stratosphere. Palantir is currently selling for 255 times forward earnings and 90 times forward sales, which most investors would concede is a pricey valuation, and Wall Street seems to agree. Of the 25 analysts who offered an opinion on Palantir in July, only four rate the stock a buy or strong buy, while 16 recommend holding, and five rate it underperform or sell. That means 84% of analysts don't believe Palantir is a buy right now. However, it's important to point out that Wall Street analysts tend to focus on the next 12 to 18 months. Given that Palantir's growth story is expected to play out over the next decade or longer, the two views are at odds. Furthermore, those disparate opinions can both be right: In the short run, Palantir stock could fall or enter a period of multiple compression, in which the fundamentals continue to improve while the stock remains range-bound. It could also be a massive winner over the next decade for investors with the intestinal fortitude to hold through the volatility that's sure to come. Focus on the long-term Given the current environment and the unresolved issues of inflation and tariffs, it's easy to imagine executives delaying unnecessary spending. That said, the economic uncertainty could be a catalyst for Palantir, according to Ark Investment Management CEO Cathie Wood. "When businesses and consumers are scared, they'll change the way they do things, and that's usually good for the companies that are helping others do things better, cheaper, faster, more creatively, and more productively," she said. Wood believes Palantir's proprietary solutions position the company well for the continued adoption of AI. "We think Palantir is going to be one of the biggest beneficiaries as companies try and make themselves more efficient and move into the AI age," she said, "You've got the C-suite really trying to figure this out, understanding strategically that if they don't jump into the AI age, they'll be left behind." There's more. In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday, Wood said (emphasis mine), "CEO Alex Karp believes that [Palantir] will become the largest pure-play enterprise AI software company in the world. I believe him." Should you buy before Aug. 4? As a general rule, I shy away from date-driven stock buying. I tend to be more successful when I take a step back and view the company's execution, competition, and market opportunity holistically. Palantir's execution thus far has been stellar. The company's unique approach will make it hard for would-be competitors to replicate Palantir's results. It's difficult to accurately size the market opportunity for AI, and estimates vary wildly. In Ark Invest's Big Ideas 2025 report, Wood calculates that the AI software opportunity alone could be worth $13 trillion by 2030. There's a lot to like about Palantir, and I have purchased the stock several times in recent years. In most instances, valuation isn't something I consider, but it's hard to ignore in the case of Palantir. That said, I still believe the stock is worth owning -- as long as investors know what they're getting into. Palantir comes with extraordinarily high multiples. That, combined with the company's rapid growth, is the very recipe for extreme volatility. I'd be comfortable predicting that, at some point over the next 18 months, Palantir stock will likely plunge by 50%. Does that mean I plan to sell the stock? Not at all. It simply means I'm prepared for the inevitable ups and downs that are part of the cost of admission for owning a high-growth stock such as this. Those disclaimers aside, investors looking to establish a position in Palantir should consider a small position and add opportunistically on any weakness. Dollar-cost averaging is another potential strategy, as it allows investors to build a position over time, adding more shares when the price is lower and fewer when the valuation is higher. I stand by the assertion that being a Palantir shareholder isn't for the faint of heart. That said, for those who adopt a long-term outlook and can withstand the inevitable volatility, I expect it to be a profitable investment 10 years from now.

Missed Palantir's Huge 100% Run in 2025? These Stocks Could Be Next.
Key Points Palantir's massive run-up is tied to its valuation increasing. Any stock in the market could double under the same circumstances that Palantir's did. 10 stocks we like better than Palantir Technologies › Palantir (NASDAQ: PLTR) has been one of the best-performing stocks so far this year, with its price more than doubling. Finding stocks that can achieve that is a dream for every investor, and considering the circumstances of Palantir's run-up, nearly any stock could be a candidate for such performance. So, what stocks could duplicate this incredible run moving forward? Let's take a look. Palantir's run-up isn't business-related Although Palantir posted strong earnings results in Q1, 39% revenue growth normally doesn't justify the stock doubling. Furthermore, that's year-over-year revenue growth, and considering the stock has risen around 800% since the start of 2024, there's something a bit odd here. The mismatch between growth and stock performance can be attributed to the stock's valuation, which has exploded over the past year. Palantir has risen from a stock that traded in the typical software valuation range of 10 to 20 times sales to more than 120 times sales. A good rule of thumb is that a software company should be increasing its revenue at a rate greater than its price-to-sales (P/S) ratio. Ideally, it's growing at two to three times this rate. However, Palantir's growth is a third of its valuation, indicating an incredibly expensive stock. This indicates that most of Palantir's movement has come from market exuberance rather than business performance. Considering Palantir's stock entered the year trading at an already expensive 65 times sales, the rise is almost directly tied to its valuation rising to an even more expensive level. If its stock were truly tied to the business, then it wouldn't be valued as high. For reference, when Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) was tripling its revenue year over year, it never traded for more than 46 times sales. Furthermore, it's still growing much faster than Palantir is right now and is far cheaper. The reality is that Palantir's stock has become far too expensive for its growth rate, and an unrealistic valuation has driven its impressive performance. Any stock has the potential to be bid up substantially by its shareholders and yield incredible returns, as seen with Palantir. So, if you're looking for a stock that may double, then literally any stock in the market is a candidate if the circumstances are the same as Palantir's. However, here are a couple stocks that have the potential to realistically double, without requiring unreasonable valuations to achieve it. Alphabet Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) is the parent company of Google, and doesn't receive the same premium that many of its big tech peers do. This is unfortunate, as its growth rates are often comparable to those of some of its peers. The big concern is that Google Search could be overtaken by generative AI, so the market prices it at a discount to its peers. Currently, Alphabet trades at 20 times forward earnings. Most of its big tech peers trade in the low- to high-30s forward P/E range, so if Alphabet can return to receiving the same premium as its peers, then it has the potential to double. While I don't think a true double is realistic, I believe a 50% gain is easily achievable if the market recognizes that Google Search is here to stay. IonQ IonQ (NYSE: IONQ) is a leader in quantum computing. Although this technology hasn't proved its worth, it's rapidly approaching that point. 2030 is expected to be a key year for quantum computing deployment, and if IonQ can prove that its technology is a top option, the stock could be poised for a significant rise. By 2035, this market is expected to be worth $87 billion, providing IonQ with a substantial revenue base to capture. Considering that IonQ is currently a $11 billion company, it could be poised for a significant stock rise if it announces a breakthrough in its pursuit of making quantum computing commercially relevant. The reality is that any stock can double under the circumstances that Palantir's did. But, if you're looking for two stocks with realistic possibilities to double, Alphabet and IonQ may not be too far off. Should you invest $1,000 in Palantir Technologies right now?
