- Is Palantir Stock a Buy?
Palantir has risen more than 3,200% from its 2022 all-time low, pulled back into correction territory last week, then recovered to about 7% below its mid-month record high. The author argues its productivity gains for clients, such as Wendy's cutting an order and inventory tracking process from weeks to five minutes, justify a premium valuation, but notes analysts forecast 84% revenue growth this year and 50% in 2027. The stock trades at a P/E of 166, about 121 forward earnings, and 83 on 2027 earnings, so the author says much of the growth already appears priced in. Given that, the author prefers to watch the stock rather than add to a position, warning that any slowdown in growth could push the stock lower.
- Prediction: This Will Be Palantir's Stock Price by Year-End 2027
The article asks whether Palantir shares could trade between $230 and $260, or $140 and $160, by end-2027. Revenue in the second quarter of 2026 rose 93% year over year, U.S. commercial revenue grew 149% to $764 million, and the company has beaten earnings estimates for nine straight quarters. Full-year revenue guidance was raised to about $8.15 billion, implying growth of roughly 82%, and the U.S. Army expanded its Maven Smart System contract by $618 million in August. Bulls argue sticky platform demand could support $250 per share or more, while bears point to a high price-to-sales ratio, a drop of as much as 24% from pre-rally highs, and $86 million in share sales by CEO Alex Karp in August. The author leans toward the higher end of the range but says the outcome depends on whether investors stay willing to hold through volatility.
- Michael Burry Is Still Short Palantir. Here's What Its Nov. 2 Report Has to Show.
Michael Burry still holds put options against Palantir, which expire between June and December 2027. The stock closed at a record $209.05 on Oct. 9 and traded near $195 at the time of writing. Guidance calls for third-quarter revenue of $2.160 billion to $2.164 billion, about 83% growth, but Palantir has typically beaten its top guidance by 6% to 7%, which could mean about $2.3 billion. U.S. commercial revenue rose 149% to $764 million in the second quarter, and keeping management's target of at least $3.424 billion for 2026 on track implies about $930 million in the third quarter. The article notes that even a strong report would not make the stock cheap at about 166 times past earnings, though it could make Burry's under-$50 view harder to accept.

- Rivian Earnings Don't Mask Stock Collapse
Rivian (RIVN) beat earnings expectations, with revenue up 38% to $2.16 billion and a loss that narrowed to $913 million from $1.17 billion a year earlier. Its shares are still down 42% this year. The company raised its delivery guidance to 67,000–70,000 from 65,000–70,000 but did not separate R2 deliveries from total deliveries, and the author suspects sales of the pricier R1T and R1S remain weak. The author views both Rivian and Lucid (LCID) as having grim prospects, while Tesla (TSLA) holds more than 50% of the US EV market. US EV sales fell 30% in the first three quarters versus a year earlier and make up only about 6% of new car sales, while Ford (F) expects its Fathom to reach 100,000 sales in its first year on the market.
- 5 Huge Winners From Anthropic's IPO
Anthropic has filed its S-1 registration ahead of what is slated to be the largest IPO ever, likely debuting at a market cap of around $2 trillion. The filing shows plans to spend around $518 billion on computing infrastructure over the next decade, and since many businesses host Claude on servers leased from external cloud providers, total infrastructure needs could exceed that figure. The author expects Nvidia (NVDA), Broadcom (AVGO) and Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) to benefit as AI data center build-outs continue, and says all three trade for less than 20 times next year's expected earnings. Amazon (AMZN) and Alphabet (GOOGL, GOOG), which host Anthropic's workloads on AWS and Google Cloud, earn revenue from compute used to train models and each time Claude is used. The author expects these five stocks to outperform the market over the next 5 years, while acknowledging uncertainty about how Anthropic will perform after its IPO.
- Palantir Technologies (PLTR) Deepens Sovereign AI Deployments Across Sensitive Industries
Palantir Technologies (PLTR) announced a new wave of sovereign AI deployments with partners including L3Harris, McCarthy, NVIDIA, Ondas, and Tampa General Hospital. The collaborations span sensitive sectors such as defense, advanced manufacturing, construction, and healthcare, focusing on real-world AI workflows and data control. Clients use Palantir's platforms to fine-tune models, keep control over their data, and pursue operational efficiency. The article argues the moves reinforce the company's software moat but also heighten reliance on large U.S. government and defense contracts and a customer base skewed heavily toward the U.S. It suggests tracking upcoming earnings updates through late 2026 for disclosures on total contract value and how much demand comes from outside the U.S.
- Down 40%, Is Robinhood Stock a Buy on the Latest Dip?
Robinhood (HOOD) shares are down about 40% from their all-time highs, and a disappointing after-the-bell third-quarter earnings report on Oct. 27 added to the pressure. Crypto revenue fell 55% to $120 million, the fourth straight quarterly decline, while overall transaction revenue rose 19% to $867 million, helped by options and prediction-market event contracts. Adjusted EPS fell 3% to $0.60, though it beat the $0.56 analyst consensus. October deposits topped $13 billion, including $6 billion from the Dell Foundation. The article calls the stock not a bargain at a forward P/E of about 26.5 on 2027 estimates, but says it is nearing the point where investors may start to take interest as crypto becomes less of a drag.
- Bitcoin ETF Investors Head for the Exits After Record Binance Hack
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $643.2 million in outflows on Friday, their biggest outflow of October and first full session after the roughly $6.4 billion Binance hack. Ethereum ETFs extended their outflow streak to five days, about $431 million, and Solana ETFs lost about $72 million over the week. Bitcoin fell about 4% on Friday, with more than $1.3 billion in leveraged positions liquidated, before steadying near $77,520 on Saturday. Binance pledged to cover all losses with company funds and an emergency reserve, while Tether and Circle froze more than $2.3 billion in stolen stablecoins. The article notes the drop was far smaller than the nearly 11% plunge after a failed attack on Binance in 2018.
- Everything changed for the oil, AI and bond trades over the past month
Treasury yields and oil futures moved together through most of 2026, but that link broke in October. According to BlackRock's Jeffrey Rosenberg, treasuries and oil had an 80% correlation this year, and the breakdown reflects the AI trade's retreat, which the market now sees as a bigger risk than geopolitics. After a Nasdaq sell-off on Friday and Google's biggest single-day decline in its history, which wiped out half a trillion dollars in value, yields fell as investors read AI weakness as a sign of a softer U.S. economy. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh disagreed, arguing that investment is broadening beyond AI, even though business investment rose 12.7% in Q3, the biggest gain outside the pandemic since 2011. Rosenberg says long-dated Treasuries remain the only effective hedge in a disinflationary scenario, but high inflation and oil prices limit that role, and bonds could face pressure if the AI boom persists alongside U.S. fiscal challenges.
