<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy PLTR Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Palantir Technologies&#8217; case, it is in the Information Technology sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, PLTR has a 52-week high of $125.41 and a 52-week low of $63.40.

The Joint Commission And Palantir Technologies Announce Strategic Partnership To Elevate Patient Safety And Healthcare Standards

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has<a href="https://open.substack.com/pub/europeancapitalinsights/p/nato-taps-palantir-disruptive-start?r=3nmatg&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web&amp;showWelcomeOnShare=false"> started integrating Artificial Intelligence </a>(AI) systems into its strategic command structure as the alliance prepares for the future of war. It is doing this with disruptive tech companies.
AI systems will help the 32-member alliance maintain its technological dominance over its adversaries, NATO said in response to emailed questions. NATO is "actively" seeking "partnerships" with the private sector to develop <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.act.nato.int/activities/digital-transformation/">emerging and disruptive technologies</a>, NATO experts told European Capital Insights (ECI).
The US is leading the trend among Western countries to integrate private sector AI technology into government defense systems. Anduril Industries, an AI-defense company, Palantir Technologies (PLTR), and Archer Aviation Inc. (ACHR) have all signed contracts with the US military.
"The obvious solution to war is to have the West have the strongest, most precise, deadly weapons possible," Alex Karp, Palantir's CEO, said during the <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.youtube.com/live/uQCazCId_9o?feature=shared">Hill &amp; Valley Forum</a>.
The software industry should "redirect its effort and attention to constructing the technology and artificial intelligence capabilities that will address the most pressing challenges that we collectively face," he added.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Palantir Signs Deal With NATO For Data-Fusion Platform</h2>
As part of NATO&#8217;s AI push, the alliance signed an agreement with Palantir (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) on April 14 for its <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://defensescoop.com/2025/04/14/nato-palantir-maven-smart-system-contract/">Maven Smart System (MSS) data-fusion platform</a>. NATO will integrate the system into its allied command structure.
Palantir&#8217;s MSS blends large language models, generative AI, and machine learning into mission-critical operations. The system helps intelligence fusion and targeting, battlespace awareness and planning, and accelerated decision-making.
MSS will function similarly to the US Department of Defense's Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control. The Pentagon awarded Palantir in May last year a <a href="https://defensescoop.com/2024/05/31/pentagon-onboard-new-vendors-cjadc2-tech-palantir-open-digar/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">$480 million</a> contract to merge its intelligence systems with its allies onto a single platform.
Palantir will provide "customized state-of-the-art AI capabilities," Ludwig Decamp, the General Manager of the NATO Communications and Information Agency, <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://shape.nato.int/news-releases/nato-acquires-aienabled-warfighting-system-">said</a>. This will empower "our forces with the tools required on the modern battlefield to operate effectively and decisively," he added.
Palantir stock jumped around 8% following that announcement on April 14, rallying for more than 40%. It pulled back 12.3% on May 6 as analysts argued for overvaluation of the stock, which traded at 189 times its earnings expectations for the next 12 months.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">NATO Allocates €1 Billion for Start-ups With Disruptive Tech</h2>
The <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.nif.fund/">NATO Innovation Fund</a> (NIF) has allocated €1 billion for venture capital investments in start-ups developing dual-use emerging and disruptive technologies. In June, the NIF invested in four companies– ARX Robotics, Fractile AI, iCOMAT, and Space Forge– to develop novel materials and manufacturing, AI, and robotics.
The <a href="https://x.com/eurocapinsights/status/1920422677258371252">alliance wants to mak</a>e it easier for "non-traditional defense companies and innovators" to partner in this endeavor, particularly small—to medium-sized businesses. NATO has established "more flexible and agile procurement processes" and by allowing for new avenues for testing and evaluation.
The alliance's Rapid Adoption Action Plan aims to identify what is needed to better expedite the adoption of new technologies and their integration, according to NATO experts.
The Pentagon is building out its capabilities. It <a href="https://defensescoop.com/2024/03/11/pentagon-ai-budget-request-2025/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">requested $1.8 billion</a> for AI and machine learning initiatives in its fiscal year 2025 budget. The budget includes $3.2 billion for research in AI and advanced command and control systems.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ukraine War Lays Groundwork For AI Military Integration</h2>
NATO and the Pentagon have watched Ukraine emerge as one of the first military conflicts in which AI adoption has played a crucial strategic role. Ukraine became "The First AI War," according to Time Magazine, since Russia invaded in 2022.
Karp <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/ukraine-war-shows-urgency-military-ai-palantir-ceo-says-2023-02-15/">said</a> in February 2023 that the use of AI in war moved from a &#8220;highly erudite ethics discussion&#8221; to a top concern in Ukraine.
Palantir has enhanced Ukraine's reconnaissance, target identification, and battlefield decision-making capabilities with its Artificial Intelligence Platform. The system has enabled the Ukrainian Armed Forces to process vast intelligence datasets in real-time.
"While the war in Ukraine has not yet become an AI war, it is <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.techpolicy.press/military-ai-lessons-from-ukraine/">laying the groundwork</a> for the future military applications of AI," Gulsanna Mamediieva, an Adjunct Professor at Georgetown University, wrote on March 20.
"To accelerate AI adoption, Ukraine implemented <a href="https://dslua.org/publications/running-up-that-hill-artificial-intelligence-in-ukrainian-public-sector/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">policy frameworks</a> that streamline procurement, fast-track AI product approvals, and promote public-private partnerships," she added.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">NATO Faces Emerging Security, Logistical Threats</h2>
NATO has sped up AI adoption and is building an "AI-ready workforce" to develop "necessary expertise," NATO experts said. This includes improving data management and sharing among NATO members, according to NATO experts.
Under its <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.act.nato.int/activities/digital-transformation/">2030 goals</a>, NATO has identified nine priority technologies to maintain its competitiveness. They include AI, autonomy, quantum computing, hypersonic systems, space, novel materials and manufacturing, energy and propulsion, and next-generation communications networks.
Technologies "are changing the world, and the way NATO operates," the alliance said in its Digital Transformation <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.act.nato.int/activities/digital-transformation/">document</a>. "These and other emerging and disruptive technologies (EDTs) present both risks and opportunities for NATO and Allies."
Russian President Vladimir Putin highlighted the importance of this new technological race. He told a group of students in a 2017 address that "the one who becomes the leader in this sphere will be the ruler of the world."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Planned Russian Red Sea Base Seen As Threat To NATO</h2>
AI-powered command and control structures will help NATO and its allies respond more quickly to security and logistical threats from Russia and terrorist groups. A Russian base in the Red Sea is one emerging threat on NATO's radar.
In late April, Russia announced an agreement to build a naval base in Sudan. If built, Russia&#8217;s naval assets would be in a position to disrupt the critical shipping route from Asia to Europe through Egypt's Suez Canal.
Moscow could deploy "all sorts of war-fighting capabilities," Rebekah Koffler, a US military intelligence analyst, told Fox News Digital. The facility will serve as a "logistics hub for weapons transfers, storage of military hardware, ammunition," she added.
Russia could potentially disrupt NATO allies' supply chains in a conflict. The Yemen-based, Iranian-backed Houthi militants have adopted this approach in the Red Sea since late 2023. Houthi attacks led to a 72% decline in traffic through the Suez Canal over one year, ending November 2024.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">NATO Relies On Critical Raw Material For AI Push</h2>
Shipments from Southeast Asia, where nations like Taiwan supply most semiconductors vital to these AI systems, suffered from the attack. Transit times from Asia to the Atlantic coast of the US increased by 47%, while transports to Europe took 33% longer.
The alliance is "actively searching for ways to mitigate potential disruptions" to its integration of these advanced platforms, the NATO experts said. It has increased the "resilience of critical infrastructure" and "the responsiveness, strength, resilience and security of supply chains."
<figure class="wp-block-image"><a href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8b190aa5-64eb-4cb0-bc18-9bf4de95be60_1200x960.png" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img decoding="async" src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8b190aa5-64eb-4cb0-bc18-9bf4de95be60_1200x960.png" alt="" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Source: Project 44</figcaption></figure>
More broadly, NATO is tapping AI for combat readiness.
"<a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://x.com/NATO_ACT/status/1913193289924174167">Imagine a future</a> where #AI empowers @NATO forces with unprecedented speed, precision &amp; insight," <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://x.com/search?q=%23NATO&amp;src=hashtag_click">NATO</a> Allied Command Transformation posted on its X account. "From digital assistants to boosting intelligence &amp; AI-enabled wargaming, @NATO_ACT is integrating AI across #NATO to ensure faster, smarter &amp; more resilient defense."
For Professor Mamediieva, this is a smart move. "Ignoring AI's growing role in warfare would be a mistake" even though fully autonomous AI systems "have yet to materialize on the battlefield," she said.

Cathie Wood Strengthens AI Chip Holdings With Nvidia And AMD Purchases, Reduces Palantir Position By Another $38.8 Million

Palantir Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) shares are down 11.4% to $109.62 this week, despite delivering solid first-quarter results and lifting its full-year outlook. 
What To Know: The company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45208000/palantir-q1-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-in-line-customer-count-up-39-company-raises-guidance-citing-surging-and-ferocious-growth">reported</a> first-quarter revenue of $883.86 million, topping analyst estimates of $862.83 million, with adjusted earnings of $0.13 per share matching expectations. 
Revenue surged 39% year-over-year, led by a 55% jump in U.S. sales, including a 71% rise in U.S. commercial revenue. Customer count climbed 39% year-over-year, with 139 deals over $1 million closed in the quarter.
CEO Alex Karp <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45208000/palantir-q1-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-in-line-customer-count-up-39-company-raises-guidance-citing-surging-and-ferocious-growth">highlighted</a> growing enterprise adoption of Palantir's AI software, calling the company's progress "unparalleled." Management raised full-year revenue guidance to $3.89–$3.90 billion, up from $3.74–$3.76 billion. 
Second-quarter revenue is forecast between $934 million and $938 million, also above estimates. Despite the upbeat forecast, investor sentiment turned negative this week, triggering a sharp sell-off.
Analysts remain mixed in sentiment. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45232694/palantir-stock-shows-momentum-with-q1-results-ai-opportunity-analyst-says-generation-tech-name-worth-1-trillion-in-future">Wedbush</a> sees Palantir as the "Messi of AI," raising its target to $140, while <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45233062/palantir-analysts-boost-their-forecasts-after-q1-results">Goldman Sachs</a> maintained a Neutral rating. 
Palantir's expanding AI footprint and strong government ties remain key themes as it scales operations globally.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy PLTR Stock</h1>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share — or fractional share — of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument.
For example, with Palantir Technologies, it is in the Information Technology sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within the segment.
PLTR Price Action: According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, Palantir has a 52-week high of $125.41 and a 52-week low of $63.40. Shares closed Wednesday down 7.96% at $110.48.

Top 10 Trending Stocks On WallStreetBets As Of May 7, 2025 (Via Swaggy Stocks)

Elon Musk&#8217;s artificial intelligence startup xAI has formed a strategic partnership with Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) and TWG Global aimed at revolutionizing AI adoption in financial services, the companies announced Tuesday.
What Happened: The collaboration will develop enterprise-level AI solutions designed to move companies beyond the proof-of-concept phase, where 74% of organizations currently remain stuck without achieving meaningful returns.
&#8220;Palantir is proud to partner with xAI and TWG Global to revolutionize AI adoption in the financial services industry,&#8221; said Alex Karp, co-founder and CEO of Palantir Technologies.
&#8220;Some of the West&#8217;s most critical institutions are spending too much time navigating cobbled-together systems and not enough time leveraging the transformative power of AI.&#8221;
The partnership will deliver an outcome-based business model rather than traditional per-seat licensing, with implementation potentially yielding results within 90 days.
TWG Global, led by CEO Mark Walter, will spearhead implementation efforts directly with executive leadership.
&#8220;AI has the potential to make the 21st century the most productive time in human history,&#8221; Walter said.

Why It Matters: The alliance leverages xAI&#8217;s state-of-the-art models and Colossus supercomputer alongside Palantir&#8217;s data integration platform. The offering includes governance foundations, agent suites, and an agentic workforce with military-grade security.
This partnership follows significant developments for both companies. In March, Musk&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44549314/elon-musk-acquires-his-own-social-media-platform-x-through-xai-in-33-billion-deal-says-combined-entity-now-worth-80-billion">xAI acquired his social media platform X in a $33 billion all-stock deal</a>, creating a combined entity reportedly valued at $113 billion.
Meanwhile, Palantir executives recently expressed support for Musk&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45221998/palantir-lauds-elon-musks-doge-cuts-calls-it-the-right-thing-for-the-countrygovernment-resembles-a-marbled-wagyu">government efficiency initiative</a>, DOGE, during their first quarter of 2025 earnings call.

Elon Musk's xAI Teams Up With Palantir, TWG Global As Alex Karp Backs AI Push In Financial Services

On Tuesday, Cathie Wood&#8216;s Ark Invest made significant trades, notably selling shares of Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>). This move comes after Palantir&#8217;s stock faced pressure despite surpassing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45208000/palantir-q1-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-in-line-customer-count-up-39-company-raises-guidance-citing-surging-and-ferocious-growth">first-quarter earnings</a> expectations.
The Palantir Trade saw Ark Invest&#8217;s ARK Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#BATS">ARKK</a>) sell 376,874 shares of the AI-focused company. The trade was valued at $41.03 million. On Tuesday, Palantir shares closed 12.05% lower at $108.86.
This decision followed Palantir&#8217;s recent earnings report, which, despite exceeding analyst predictions, led to a stock decline. The stock&#8217;s drop is attributed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45228456/whats-going-on-with-palantir-stock-tuesday">high investor expectations</a>. Palantir&#8217;s shares have surged 332% over the past year and 45% year-to-date, yet the post-earnings dip highlights market volatility.
Analysts remain divided on Palantir&#8217;s future. Some view it as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45232694/palantir-stock-shows-momentum-with-q1-results-ai-opportunity-analyst-says-generation-tech-name-worth-1-trillion-in-future">key player in the AI sector</a>, predicting a potential $1 trillion market cap within three years. However, others, like Jefferies&#8217; Brent Thill, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45213810/palantir-stock-drops-925-after-earnings-beat-dan-ives-stays-bullish-but-jefferies-brent-thill-says-institutions-still-arent-interested">express skepticism</a> about institutional interest, emphasizing its retail-driven nature.
Palantir remains Ark&#8217;s second-largest holding, accounting for approximately 8.14% of the firm&#8217;s portfolio by weight, with a total value of $421.65 million.

Palantir Analysts Boost Their Forecasts After Q1 Results

Bank of America: Palantir&#8217;s first-quarter revenue beat and raised guidance shows accelerated growth, Mora said in a new investor note.
The analyst highlighted that the first-quarter revenue beat came from strong demand for both commercial and government markets.
Mora said the $125 price target is part of a "longer-term valuation methodology" for the stock.
"We think this valuation fairly captures the beneficial position to national security and US government/allies' digital modernization efforts, a leading role in artificial intelligence-powered platforms, opportunistic partnerships, strong balance sheet and strong profitability," Mora said.
Goldman Sachs: Palantir is "still gaining momentum with AI strategy," Borges said in a new investor note.
Borges said the debate on the medium-term ecosystem remains.
"We believe the enterprise ecosystem continues to turn to Palantir as a proven way of executing AI strategy while alternatives are relatively more challenging to adopt," Borges said.
Palantir can also benefit from the defense tech industry, which is on track for "meaningfully more traction,&#8221; Borges adds. "We continue to view Palantir as well positioned to continue to deliver best-in-class growth given the secular trend towards enterprise AI adoption."
Wedbush: Palantir bull Ives raises the price target after the Q1 results. He again refers to the company as the "Messi of AI."
"The company continues to capitalize on the AI demand wave with its AIP product moat gaining further traction moving forward," Ives said.
The analyst said Palantir's multi-million dollar deals in the pipeline show the company's "land and expand strategy" is working.
Ives also highlighted Palantir's traction gains in Europe with a recent NATO partnership.
"We view Palantir as a generation tech name that we see as a trillion market cap over the next three years with PLTR being a core name in the AI Revolution theme over the coming years."
PLTR Price Action: Palantir stock is down 14.1% to $106.30 on Tuesday versus a 52-week trading range of $63.40 to $125.41. Palantir stock is up 41.3% year-to-date in 2025 and up over 320% in the last year.

Wall Street edged lower by midday Tuesday as uncertainty surrounding trade policies lingered, with investors adopting a cautious approach ahead of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/federal-reserve">Wednesday&#8217;s Federal Reserve meeting.</a>
In a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, President Donald Trump suggested the U.S. may soon begin renegotiating the USMCA. He noted that China is eager to negotiate due to its struggling economy, driven by a lack of U.S. trade, but emphasized the talks would take place &#8220;at the right time.&#8221;
Trump kept his trade stance unclear, suggesting that while some agreements may be signed, there is no obligation to finalize any, and dismissed repeated questions about the number of deals in progress.
The S&amp;P 500 dipped 30 points, or 0.6%, to 5,610, on track for its second consecutive negative session after nine straight gains. The Nasdaq 100 dropped 0.8%, while the Russell 2000 slipped 1%.
Ten of the 11 S&amp;P 500 sectors were in the red, with utilities as the only sector in the green. The U.S. dollar fell, extending its losses for a third straight session.

Gold also rallied, climbing 2.4% to above $3,400 per ounce amid heightened geopolitical tensions.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) reversed Monday's gains, slipping 0.4% to $94,375.

12 Information Technology Stocks Moving In Tuesday's Intraday Session

If you&#8217;re an ETF investor who&#8217;s been along for the Palantir Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) hype ride, Tuesday was likely a derailment. 
Even after a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45208000/palantir-q1-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-in-line-customer-count-up-39-company-raises-guidance-citing-surging-and-ferocious-growth">blowout first quarter earnings report</a> and a sparkling forecast, the stock plummeted more than 14% after hours and almost 12% on Tuesday morning, taking a few <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">PLTR-heavy ETFs</a> down with it.
The culprit? A valuation that may be pushing even the most elastic of market imaginations.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">ETF Fallout: When One Stock Sneezes</h1>
Three ETFs with significant Palantir exposure found themselves nursing bruises after Tuesday&#8217;s swoon:
Roundhill PLTR WeeklyPay ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTW#BATS">PLTW</a>): Meant to surf Palantir&#8217;s waves, this thematic ETF dropped a painful 18% on Tuesday. 
First Trust US Equity Opportunities ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FPX#NYSE">FPX</a>): Down close to 3%, this ETF took the jolt, too. With Palantir as its top holding with a 10% weightage, even the wider growth exposure couldn&#8217;t soften the blow.
Global X Defense Tech ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHLD#NYSE">SHLD</a>): Also off about 2.1%, even with Palantir included in a strong slate of defense tech plays. The ETF thesis is still intact — defense budgets are rising globally — but valuation concerns outweighed tailwinds, at least for the day.
Tejas Dessai, head of research at Global X ETFs, is bullish on the theme overall, saying that we are &#8220;in the early innings of a generational investment cycle in global defense.&#8221; 
With the U.S. committing $1 trillion annually to defense and geopolitical tensions not so much looking like fireworks, but rather like bonfires, the industry&#8217;s runway appears lengthy, he noted. Palantir is positioned alone in this environment. From battlefield logistics powered by AI to intelligence analysis, it&#8217;s at the nexus of Silicon Valley ingenuity and Pentagon-sized paychecks. That&#8217;s precisely the reason SHLD and its owners are hanging on, even though the ride&#8217;s got turbulence.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">The Paradox of Powerhouse Performance and Price Panic</h1>
Let&#8217;s get the scorecard straight: Palantir&#8217;s first quarter revenue of $883.86 million beat expectations, rising 39% year-over-year. U.S. commercial revenue surged 71%, customer base grew and the company now projects full-year revenues of as much as $3.90 billion — all while having $5.4 billion in the bank. Not bad for the alleged &#8220;Messi of AI,&#8221; as Wedbush&#8217;s Dan Ives called it.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45213810/palantir-stock-drops-925-after-earnings-beat-dan-ives-stays-bullish-but-jefferies-brent-thill-says-institutions-still-arent-interested">Palantir Is A &#8216;Retail-Driven Story,&#8217; Says Top Analyst As PLTR Stock Falls 9% In After-Hours: &#8216;Not A Single Institutional Investor&#8230;Talks About This&#8217;</a>
But the market wasn&#8217;t having it. Why? Perhaps because the stock is listed at a P/E (TTM) ratio above 560x — a figure that would make even the most optimistic tech bulls wince.
Even with Palantir&#8217;s assurances of positive GAAP operating income each quarter this year, worries that a lot of future growth is already priced in are casting long shadows. As Jefferies&#8217; Brent Thill said, solid fundamentals are one thing, but a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45216263/pltr-stock-falls-9-19-in-premarket-trading-but-this-analyst-remains-bullish-predicts-1-trillion-valuation-in-3-years">65x multiple to revenue is another creature altogether</a>.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Valuation Sky High, but Sector&#8217;s Not Coming Down</h1>
Palantir&#8217;s fundamentals are good, its prospects are bright, and its contribution to AI and defense cannot be replicated — but the price is where the market throws up its hands. ETFs such as PLTW, FPX and SHLD, with their various degrees of Palantir exposure, provide a means to bet on the tale — just don&#8217;t anticipate them being resistant to sentiment shocks.
