PLTR stock forecast 2025： Cathie Woods increased Palantir stock position

Software company Palantir (PLTR) released the latest quarterly earnings report, which performed very well.

After the financial report, Palantir's stock price soared to 14.64% at the highest point. At the same time, the keen Cathie Woods also bought $140 million in Palantir stock.

I won't talk about Palantir's specific business. If you don't know much about it, you can go back to my previous article. Let's talk back to the financial report. Benefiting from the benefits of the US government’s contract renewal, Palantir’s earnings per share and total revenue both beat expectations for this quarter’s earnings report. Among them, earnings per share were $0.04, beating the expected $0.01; total revenue was 376 million, an increase of 49% from the same period last year, slightly higher than the expected $361 million. Although the extent of beating expectations is not very large, the biggest highlight of the financial report is to broaden the business.

The value of Palantir's new contracts this quarter increased by a staggering 175% year-on-year, reaching US$925 million. The number of business users that the market is particularly concerned about, that is, non-government customers increased by 32% from the previous quarter and 61% from the beginning of this year, which means that Palantir is being accepted by more and more enterprise users.

The highlights of the Palantir financial report this time can be said to be fully in line with the underlying logic of Cathie Woods investing in it.

In an interview in February this year, Cathie Woods once said that Palantir is deeply plowing in a unique market, and there will be long-term development in the next 10 years. At the same time, she believes that many high-end technologies originate from government applications, and 61% of Palantir's revenue comes from the government, indicating the reliability of Palantir's technology. In this financial report, Palantir received a large number of commercial orders, which made investors more affirmed that Palantir can continue to expand the market and get rid of the dilemma of over-reliance on government orders.

It also allowed the market to promise the CEO the 30% annualized profit growth rate. More optimistic. Compared with Cathie Woods in an interview in February, Palantir is now not only cheaper, but the fundamentals are also more solid, so it's no surprise that we see Cathie Woods buying its shares aggressively. Currently, Palantir is already the 15th largest position of ARK.

After the financial report came out, Wall Street also updated their views.

Among them, RBC gave a target price of $25 and rated Palantir as "outperformed the market." RBC believes that while Palantir will increase government orders in the next quarter, orders for more important commercial customers will also increase a lot. They are confident that Palantir will double the number of commercial customers before the end of the year. However, there are also bearish voices in the market.

Analysts at Morgan Stanley only gave a target price of $22, which means there is a 12% downside from the present, and gave a rating of "under the market". Morgan Stanley's biggest concern is that Palantir's contract growth rate may not continue. Analysts of the bank pointed out that 90% of the 175% revenue growth in the quarter came from customers who have strategic investment relationships with Palantir, and they believe that such a growth rate is unsustainable.

Is optimistic about Palantir's long-term development potential in the future.

As I said in the previous article, Palantir’s advantage lies in its vast market, deep moat, and attractive growth potential. If you look at this company from a 10-year perspective, I think it will be a Very good investment target. Although the valuation of PLTR may not be cheap, I think Palantir's potential is worthy of the valuation premium. However, as I have always said, the uncertainty facing growth stocks in the short term is increasing. If you don't have a long-term investment vision, you need to be cautious about starting growth stocks like Palantir now.

Square（SQ） stock forecast 2025: Is it time to buy?

Today I will talk about a stock that can be held for a long time was born in the field of electronic payment. That is Square, another electronic payment company founded by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorcy. In China, the development of payment methods jumped directly from debit cards to electronic payment, skipping the era of credit card payment, and there is no large-scale popularization. This is due to the continuous innovation of Alipay and Tencent Pay. In the United States, credit card payment was very popular in the past, and the development of electronic payment was relatively slow. Therefore, domestic investors who often use Alipay and WeChat, look at Square's business, it will be very easy to understand, and the development path is relatively easy to predict. Speaking of Square, I have to mention another giant in the electronic payment industry, PayPal. The predecessor of PayPal was Max Levchin, Peter Thiel, and Luke Nosek, founded by Con...

3 Chinese technology stocks forecast 2025: JD PDD and BZUN

Forget Alibaba（BABA)! These 3 Chinese technology stocks are more worth buying 　　 Hello everyone, Alibaba is China's largest e-commerce and cloud company. From January to late May, Alibaba's market value has shrunk by nearly 10%, lagging behind many peers. Antitrust investigations in China, stricter auditing standards in the United States, and funding from growth stocks to value stocks have all dragged down Alibaba's stock price. 　　 Alibaba’s stock is trading at an expected price-to-earnings ratio of 18 times, which may seem cheap, but analysts still expect Alibaba’s earnings to fall by 3% this year because it has absorbed a record US$2.75 billion in antitrust fines. It also needs to stop exclusive deals with big brands, which may weaken the company's defenses against smaller e-commerce markets. 　　 But this is not all. Alibaba may be forced to divest media assets and share user data with the government, and the group's financial technology su...

ASML stock forecast 2025: is it time to buy now?

Hello everyone, recently, because the market has a lot of fears about rising interest rates and shrinking the balance sheet, the Nasdaq as a whole has fallen a lot, and each support has basically been broken one after another. The general price has also broken, so there is no good signal to increase positions in the short term. It may be safer to hold cash first and wait until the decline begins to slow down a little or see a really cost-effective price before considering adding positions. However, the long-term bull market in the future will not end because of this year's interest rate hike, and cash will only become more and more worthless in the long run. In the short-term continuous decline of the stock market, we must put our minds in a positive state. At the same time, we must properly organize our thoughts and positions, prepare bullets, and use this time to do our homework for the stocks we are interested in. In this way, when a good price appears in the future, you will be...
