At What Price Is Palantir Stock a Buy?
Shares may have soared too high, too fast.
One stock that has massively outperformed the market this year is data analytics software company Palantir (NASDAQ: PLTR). As of market close on April 21, shares were up 20% year to date. This compares to a more than 12% decline for the S&P 500 over this same period. Even more, this is on top of an incredible 340% gain for the stock in 2024.
Many investors watching the tech stock are likely wondering if it's too late to get in on this growth story. After all, even though shares are up year to date, the stock is down substantially from recent highs. Specifically, shares are down about 28% from a 52-week high of $125.41 achieved earlier this year. Is this a buy-the-dip opportunity? And, if not, at what price would the stock look like a good investment?
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been an important investing theme for some time now as businesses ramp up their investments in the space in order to stay competitive in a rapidly changing technological landscape. As a provider of a data analytics platform that utilizes AI, Palantir has benefited from this.
