Jim Cramer on Palantir: “It’s Growing Like a Weed”

Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:PLTR) is one of the stocks in Jim Cramer’s game plan for this week. Cramer called it one of the “hottest stocks,” as he commented:

“After the close Monday, we hear from the most controversial stock in the entire market, and that’s Palantir Technologies, the AI-fueled software company has become one of the hottest stocks there is with an almost cult-like shareholder base led by the messianic CEO Alex Karp. I predict a total blowout that will smoke the shorts because Karp’s still getting a ton of business and repeat business from everything, from consumer packaged goods to the federal government. It’s growing like a weed.”
