“Next, how about Palantir, which finished 2025 up just 135%. Good for ninth place in the S&P 500 and seventh place in the Nasdaq-100, it’s still tough to justify, I know, Palantir’s valuation, with the stock trading at around 175 times this year’s earnings estimates, but as usual, the Palantir bulls don’t care about that and it is one of the great fastest growing large cap stocks I’ve ever seen. It just needs, it needs a fresh jolt now. Maybe another stunning earnings quarter could do it or maybe Palantir doesn’t even need that. The stock did jump nearly 4% today on nothing more than a positive tape. You know I am a big believer in this company and the stock. I see no reason to back away from it now.”
