Meet Kevin onPLTRPalantir Technologies

Kevin discusses Palantir being blamed for a deadly targeting error in Iran involving its Maven software, calling the incident a tragedy while separately noting the stock still has valuation-based upside due to strong growth expectations. He expresses discomfort mixing the human tragedy with stock analysis and is uncertain whether he will keep holding shares.

Kevin pushes back on Karp's doom-and-gloom framing about AI companies needing nationalization, calling it marketing hype to sell Palantir's platform, but he still believes Palantir itself is fundamentally strong and undervalued based on its growth, cash flow, and pricing power. He argues the stock could be worth around $250 using a more reasonable PEG ratio, and says he continues to buy shares at current levels.

After breaking down Alex Karp's CNBC interview, Kevin argues Palantir's fundamentals (huge free cash flow, high growth, pricing power) justify a premium valuation despite it looking expensive on a plain PE basis. He believes the stock is undervalued relative to its growth trajectory.

Kevin favors buying the dip on Palantir after it approached a key support level, viewing it as a better opportunity than hardware stocks amid a sector rotation into software. He frames this as a tactical, momentum-driven call rather than a long-term price target.

Palantir was highlighted as the stock that had sold off the most over the prior few days, making it the top dip-buy candidate in the morning alpha report; it was up roughly 8-9% by the time of the video. Kevin expressed enthusiasm about the bounce but this reflects a recap of an already-realized move, not a new prediction.

The video centers on reports that Palantir CEO Alex Karp is personally investing in a new Ukrainian-founded defense venture fund focused on drone and interceptor technology. Kevin frames this as evidence of Palantir's broader positioning across multiple sides of ongoing conflicts, but does not offer a specific price or stock-level thesis on PLTR itself.

Kevin owns Palantir, bought around $118, and believes it remains undervalued using a PEG-based model that yields a ~$222 fair value, though he thinks even that figure understates true upside by 20-30%.

Kevin highlights Palantir's pricing power and exclusivity as reasons investors are drawn to the stock, while cautioning that its valuation looks expensive mainly because it recently transitioned from losses to profitability, which distorts ratio-based valuation.

Kevin views Palantir as having a better valuation than CrowdStrike given its higher net revenue retention and expanding role in cybersecurity via its Apollo platform, though he does not hold a specific price target.

Kevin mentions Palantir favorably as a comparison point to CrowdStrike, noting its high net revenue retention and describing its valuation as more attractive than CrowdStrike's on current Wall Street estimates, though he does not make a specific price prediction.

Kevin repeatedly uses Palantir as the benchmark for pricing power and AI-driven software margins, calling it 'goated' at monetizing existing customers, but he makes no explicit price prediction for the stock in this video. Palantir serves mainly as a comparison point to frame UiPath's smaller scale and earlier-stage AI transition.

Kevin sees Palantir as a standout example of a company that has successfully turned AI into monetizable pricing power, unlike the commoditized data center infrastructure plays.
