It reminds me of the early-2010s SaaS wave. Back then, you could argue Salesforce or ServiceNow had huge TAMs and defensible positions, but the best entry points were when their multiples compressed and execution caught up to expectations, not when valuation implied flawless performance. At those heights, any hiccup, a missed quarter, a competitor with a better AI story, or a shift in procurement priorities, can rerate the stock brutally.
From the tech side, I’d be curious how much of Palantir’s AI-driven growth is tied to custom, high-touch deployments vs. something that scales like a true product. If a lot of revenue still depends on specialized integration work, sustaining that 40%+ clip at their current size gets trickier.
I invested in Lockeed Martin a few years back thinking that defense will be a bigger deal going forward in the current uncertain geopolitical situation. Looks like I should've picked Palantir instead, which is not only defense but also AI.
