Palantir Technologies Stock Is Falling Friday: What's Going On?

The Stock Market Has Seen This Happen Only 2 Other Times in Over 150 Years, and History Has an Ominous Warning for Investors

The S&P 500's CAPE ratio has reached its second-highest level ever at above 40, a warning sign previously seen only before the Great Depression (1929) and dot-com bubble (2000). While renowned investors like Michael Burry and Ray Dalio warn of an AI bubble, the article advises against market timing, recommending consistent dollar-cost averaging into index ETFs instead, as historical data shows missing the market's best days significantly reduces returns.

Shares of software companies are trading lower amid a rotation out of technology and AI-related stocks. Rising inflation concerns and elevated oil prices are fueling expectations for further Fed tightening, while elevated borrowing costs could weigh on demand, valuations and debt metrics.

Palantir Stock Is Near Its Record. Here's the Price at Which I'd Buy It.

Palantir Technologies trades near record highs at ~$198, commanding a 170x earnings multiple. While the company demonstrates exceptional growth with 93% revenue increases and rapidly rising profits, analyst Daniel Sparks considers the current valuation excessive. He would buy the stock at ~$140 per share (120x earnings), a level the market accepted just months ago. However, if earnings continue growing as expected, the stock could reach that valuation without falling.
