Why It Matters: According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com">Benzinga</a>, PLTR has a consensus &#8216;sell&#8217; with a price target of $35.58 based on the ratings of 20 analysts.
The highest price target out of all the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PLTR/analyst-ratings">analysts</a> tracked by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com">Benzinga </a>is $80 issued by UBS with a &#8216;neutral&#8217; rating on Dec. 19. UBS is bullish on Palantir&#8217;s AI-driven growth potential but remains sidelined due to its extremely high valuation. UBS believes the current valuation is unjustified with 49 times revenue and 124 times free cash flow on 2025 estimates. Despite this, Palantir&#8217;s impressive growth and increasing institutional interest make it a stock to watch for potential future investment opportunities, says UBS.
Wedbush analyst Dan Ives, a strong Palantir bull with a $75 price target issued on Nov. 25 with an &#8216;outperform&#8217; rating. He believes AI spending will surge in 2025. He lauds Palantir as &#8220;the Messi of AI,&#8221; emphasizing its leading role in the AI revolution. Ives highlights the expanding use cases for Palantir&#8217;s products, a growing partner ecosystem, and rising demand for its enterprise AI solutions.
Mizuho raised its price target to $44 while maintaining an &#8216;underperform&#8217; rating. This increase reflects broader software sector multiple expansions. Mizuho identifies key trends driving software growth: digital transformation, AI, data analytics, cloud migrations, DevOps, and cybersecurity.

Shares of stocks in the broader software sector are trading lower amid overall market weakness following the Fed's rate decision to cut rates by 25 basis points.

In the current market session, Intuit Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTU#NASDAQ">INTU</a>) stock price is at $671.67, after a 0.90% drop. However, over the past month, the company's stock increased by 3.24%, and in the past year, by 8.16%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is not performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1734548408_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>How Does Intuit P/E Compare to Other Companies?</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 95.11 in the Software industry, Intuit Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 65.93. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1734548408_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

<h3>The Importance of Insider Transactions</h3>
In the complex landscape of investment decisions, investors should approach insider transactions as part of a comprehensive analysis, considering various elements.
Within the legal framework, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities as per Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are mandated to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
The initiation of a new purchase by a company insider serves as a strong indication that they expect the stock to rise.
However, insider sells may not always signal a bearish view and can be influenced by various factors.
<h3>Understanding Crucial Transaction Codes</h3>
When it comes to transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> tend to focus on those in the open market, detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S indicates a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Here&#8217;s a look at the Benzinga Stock Whisper Index for the week ending Nov. 29:
Simon Property Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPG#NYSE">SPG</a>): The large real estate investment trust saw increased interest from readers during the week. This trend could point to optimism ahead of the 2024 holiday shopping season, which is expected to see records set <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/retail-sales/24/11/42225933/black-friday-cyber-monday-shopping-set-to-break-sales-records">for Black Friday</a>. 
With Thanksgiving falling later than normal, there are only 27 days from the day before Thanksgiving to Christmas Day. While this means fewer shopping weekends for retailers and malls, it could see a boost in traffic during the four main shopping holidays. 
Analysts have been raising their price targets on the stock ahead of the holiday shopping season. Stifel raised their price target from $164.50 to $175.50 and Scotiabank raised their price target from $169 to $185. Recent guidance from the company was ahead of analyst estimates for the full fiscal year according to data <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent112924&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Allison Transmission Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALSN#NYSE">ALSN</a>): The automatic transmissions company saw increased interest from readers during the week.

Ufp Industries Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UFPI#NASDAQ">UFPI</a>): The wooden pallet manufacturer and industrial packaging solutions company saw increased interest from readers during the week.

The stock could be one to watch with the new center potentially landing bigger deals and keeping customers. The company's ties to the manufactured home sector could also be on watch with the potential for the housing sector to be a theme going forward.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent112924&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1001" height="506" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/29141251/Screenshot-257.png" alt="" class="wp-image-670725" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/29141251/Screenshot-257.png 1001w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/29141251/Screenshot-257-300x152.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/29141251/Screenshot-257-768x388.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px" /></a></figure>
Intuit Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTU#NASDAQ">INTU</a>): The company, which owns TurboTax, QuickBooks and other financial products, saw increased interest from readers over the week. 
Intuit recently reported<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/42123997/intuit-shares-fall-after-q1-results-fy25-guidance-below-estimates"> first-quarter financial results, </a>which saw revenue and earnings per share beat analyst estimates.
While the report beat estimates, investors are becoming concerned about how the company's tax business <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/42073106/whats-going-on-with-intuit-shares-tuesday">could be impacted</a> by the new White House administration. The Department of Government Efficiency, led by Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk, is looking to create a mobile app for Americans to file their taxes. The move, which could see more Americans file their taxes directly, could cut down on dependance for tax software like TurboTax. Intuit shares could fall further as more details of the plan come out.
Intuit stock was down on the week and shares are up 6% year-to-date in 2024.
