The UNTHINKABLE is About to Happen to Palantir Stock
Overall Thesis
Nash argues that Palantir's rapidly improving business and contracting valuation multiples make its post-earnings selloff a buying opportunity resembling its historical $7 setup. He forecasts a $978 share price in 2030 and expects at least 49% annual returns over the next four years.
Narratives
PLTRPalantir TechnologiesNash views Palantir as a compelling current buying opportunity because operating performance has improved much faster than its market capitalization. He believes its AI deployment platform, customer retention, switching costs, and expanding addressable market support a $978 share price in 2030 and substantial annual investment returns.
Key Arguments
- He reports 96% revenue growth, 148% U.S. commercial growth, and 144% earnings-per-share growth.
- He argues that revenue and operating-income growth have far outpaced the approximately 4.4% annual increase in market capitalization.
- He highlights declining forward earnings and sales multiples despite improving business performance.
- He cites strong cash generation, low debt, and increasing cash balances as evidence of financial strength.
- He interprets 165% net dollar retention and increased spending by major customers as evidence of switching costs and a durable competitive moat.
- He expects cheaper AI usage to expand adoption and increase demand for Palantir's software.
- He compares the current divergence between fundamentals and stock performance with Palantir's historical $7 period.
Risks acknowledged
- The sales multiple remains extremely expensive.
- Investors may reasonably take profits after substantial historical gains.
- Investors worry that growth has peaked or cannot remain elevated.
- Technology, AI, and growth stocks face weak broader sentiment.
- The price target depends on sustained exceptional growth and profitability.
NVDANvidiaNash cites his historical Nvidia recommendation and its subsequent appreciation as evidence that his investment process can identify exceptional businesses. He makes no new Nvidia investment recommendation or forward return forecast.
Key Arguments
- He says he called Nvidia the ultimate stock four years earlier.
- He cites an approximately tenfold subsequent stock gain as support for his investing process.
Hedges & Caveats
- He acknowledges that 56 times sales is extremely expensive.
- He identifies valuation concerns, profit taking, fears of peak growth, and weak technology-sector sentiment as explanations for the selloff.
- His valuation model assumes revenue growth gradually declines to 80%, a terminal P/E of 55, and a 46% net margin.
- He describes the target as a somewhat conservative bullish case.
- He explicitly disclaims knowledge of short-term price movements.
