To The Moon

As of Fri, 27 Jun 2025, $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ has soared +73.88% YTD. (see below) The data analytics company expects to grow its top line by more than +36% in 2025 as its robust artificial intelligence (AI) platform has been experiencing a surge in demand. PLTR also benefited from being a popular stock among retail investors, which enabled its valuation to continue rising higher. Entering trading on Tue, 24 Jun 2025, its market cap was $330 billion, with its valuation now being higher than $Coca-Cola(KO)$, $UnitedHealth(UNH)$ , $Chevron(CVX)$ and many other blue-chip companies. Question is - can PLTR go higher, and can it top a $1 trillion valuation within the next couple of years? About growth potential, not valuation PLTR's share price got disconnected from its fundamentals a long time ago. Looking at earnings or revenue multiples is not helpful in assessing the stock simply because there is no way to rationalize the stock's value in such manner. Over the past 4 quarters, PLTR has generated more than $3.1 billion in sales and (now), it is trading at around 110x its sales. Putting this into perspective, consider the following scenario: If top AI stock $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ were to trade at such a multiple, its market cap would be north of $16 trillion, and it would be more than 4x as valuable as the next largest stock. As a result, PLTR is more of a speculative stock than a blue-chip investment, where its valuation is closely tied to future growth expectations. One reason why those expectations may rise is the “agreed” push from Trump for NATO allies to ramp up defense spending. (see below) NATO’s 32 members have pledged to meet Trump’s demand to increase defense spending to 5% of GDP to secure American protection from the US, promising “annual plans showing a credible, incremental path” to the goal. With NATO countries set to spend progressively more on defense, PLTR may inevitably benefit. According to data from NATO, US spend the most, @ around 3.2% of its GDP on defense in 2024. Just as well, PLTR is a trusted provider of counterterrorism software for government agencies around the world. Before we forget, NATO has also inked a deal with PLTR back in 14 Apr 2025 to deploy PLTR’s Maven Smart System (MSS) to enhance NATO's warfighting capabilities. MSS utilizes AI and machine learning, to analyze drone and satellite data, track troop movements, and provide strategic recommendations. It should be in operations already. Path to $1 Trillion Market Cap. Should PLTR's growth accelerates due to influx of government spending, it's conceivable that this scorching-hot stock could rally and go into yet another gear. Over a 2-year window, Palantir's stock would need to rise by another +200% to get close to a $1 trillion market cap. For an average stock, this is extremely unlikely. For a fast-growing business like PLTR that is, (1) riding the AI hype and (2) benefiting from strong demand from retail investors — it is not an outlandish scenario. The stock would need to increase by an average 75% annually for the 2 two years, starting now (at $130 per share). The “75% estimates” is actually aa slower return that what PLTR has averaged in the past 2 years: In 2024, PLTR rose by +341%. The year before, in 2023, PLTR increased by +167%. No one is affirming that Palantir will reach a $1 trillion market cap in the next few years. Just that considering its past 2 years achievements, the possibility for PLTR to reach the milestone is plausible and not far-fetched. Technical Analysis. On Fri, 27 Jun 2025, PLTR ended the week at $130.74 per share: Its 20-day moving average (ma) was $135.32. Its 50-day ma was $123.80. Its 200-day ma was $83.39. Short-term Weakness: PLTR will experience a pullback or loss of momentum, as it is trading below its 20-day ma, reflecting its recent price action. Medium- and Long-term Strength: Despite short-term dip, PLTR stock price remains well above the 50-day and 200-day ma, indicating that overall medium- and long-term trends are still bullish. Summary: This setup often suggests a temporary correction or consolidation within a broader uptrend. PLTR is pausing or correcting after a strong advance, before mounting another push to breakout of its $145 resistant level, with a support at $130.60, failing which it will be at $120.36. Invest in PLTR now? What to truly know and understand: PLTR is a speculative to own and should be regarded as such. That means the stock is “risky” and potentially a volatile investment. If US market remains strong and PLTR grows faster, with NATO rising defense spending, PLTR could easily reach $1 trillion in 2 years. Without above-mentioned catalysts, the stock might pull back and lose some of its gains. Investors may also sell to take profits if the economy becomes more uncertain. When PLTR started to breakout in November 2024, its vertical ascend is nothing short of spectacular for shareholders, at that point in time. However, news article after news article began to label it an overvalued stock with a price target that was usually lower than its stock price. With every article published, PLTR kept defying the odds and rose higher, with new contracts signed, contrary to what was printed.
