Over the last couple of weeks, stocks in the technology sector have been selling off as investors entered a panic fueled by the Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) start-up DeepSeek. One AI company that has bucked the trend, however, is data analytics provider Palantir Technologies (PLTR 0.44%).
Palantir Technologies (PLTR 0.44%) is one of the greatest success stories on the stock market in recent years. Shares of the secretive data analytics company are up nearly 1,700% since the start of 2023, an incredible feat for a company that had been largely forgotten following a crash after its 2020 IPO and the bear market of 2022.
Palantir Technologies (PLTR 0.44%) stock is off to a remarkable start in 2025, rising more than 54% as of this writing on account of the company's accelerating growth and fast-improving revenue pipeline that points toward a bright future.
Palantir Technologies (PLTR 0.44%) and Amazon (AMZN 0.63%) beat the S&P 500 (^GSPC 1.04%) over the past year, and both companies should benefit as adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) increases. But Brent Thill at Jefferies has a sell rating on Palantir and a buy rating on Amazon, as detailed below:
Throughout the Q4 reporting period, three companies, Netflix, Palantir, and Royal Caribbean, all posted notably strong results.
Shares of BigBear.ai (NASDAQ:BBAI) rocketed 21% higher last week and are up 133% in 2025.
Although there have already been a few obstacles this year, technology and artificial intelligence stocks have been on a tear for nearly 2.5 years. Of this group, few have excelled more than the decision-making AI company Palantir (PLTR 4.24%).
Shares of Palantir Technologies (PLTR 4.24%) continue to prove all the doubters wrong. Despite its seemingly egregious valuation, the stock continues to soar.
For the better part of the last two-plus years, the bulls have been in control on Wall Street. The mature stock-fueled Dow Jones Industrial Average, broad-based S&P 500, and growth-focused Nasdaq Composite have all reached numerous record-closing highs.
Palantir Technologies (PLTR 4.24%) was the best-performing member of the S&P 500 (^GSPC -0.27%) last year. Shares jumped 340% amid soaring demand for its artificial intelligence platform AIP, and that momentum has carried into the current year.
Palantir's Q4 earnings exceeded expectations, showing strong customer growth and operational efficiency, reinforcing the company's potential for future expansion and revenue increases. Despite a 75% gain, Palantir still presents scenarios with significant upside, driven by continued dominance and the secular AI trend. The stock's current valuation seems high, but holding a small position is justified due to potential upside if Palantir exceeds expectations.
