Palantir Was Not Part Of 'Cool Kids Club,' Says Dan Ives, As Stock Surges 376%: 'Group Think' Mentality Of Institutional Investors Gave Retail The Edge
Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:PLTR), whose shares have surged over 376% year-to-date, was better understood by retail investors than institutional ones during its challenging period in 2022, according to Wedbush Securities Managing Director Dan Ives.
Palantir Technologies Inc.（紐交所：PLTR）今年迄今爲止股價飆升超過376%，在2022年的挑戰時期，散戶投資者對其的理解優於機構投資者，以上是Wedbush Securities的董事Dan Ives的觀點。
What Happened: "Institutional investors were stuck in group-think when it came to Palantir as an investment in 2022. It wasn't part of the cool kids club," Ives said in an interview with Palantir investor Amit Kukreja. "People didn't understand the culture of Palantir. We're talking about the elite of the elite."
發生了什麼：Ives在與Palantir投資者Amit Kukreja的採訪中表示：「在2022年，機構投資者在投資Palantir時陷入了集體思維。它並不屬於名流俱樂部。」他補充說：「人們並不了解Palantir的文化。我們談論的是精英中的精英。」
The data analytics company's stock performance has made it the S&P 500's top performer this year, pushing its market capitalization to $176.47 billion. However, this surge has raised valuation concerns among analysts, with the stock trading at 172 times its projected 2025 earnings – nearly triple the industry average of 59.4.
這家數據分析公司的股票表現使其成爲今年S&P 500的最佳表現者，推動其市值達到1764.7億。然而，這一激增引發了分析師的估值擔憂，股票交易價格是其預計2025年盈利的172倍，幾乎是行業平均水平的59.4的三倍。
Why It Matters: Despite the lofty valuation, Ives maintains his bullish stance with a $75 price target, describing Palantir as "the Messi of AI" and predicting significant AI spending growth in 2025. UBS recently set a higher $80 target while maintaining a neutral rating, though expressing concerns about the current valuation at 49 times revenue.
爲什麼這很重要：儘管估值高企，Ives仍對Palantir持看好態度，目標價爲75美元，稱Palantir爲「人工智能界的梅西」，並預測2025年人工智能支出將顯著增長。瑞士銀行最近設定了更高的80美元目標，同時維持中立評級，但對當前49倍營業收入的估值表示擔憂。
Former Palantir employee Alex Fishman, now with Empros Capital, reinforced the optimistic outlook: "When I look at Palantir, it's one of the few companies where I can easily envision it becoming 10 or 20 times its current size."
前Palantir員工Alex Fishman現在在Empros Capital工作，他強調了樂觀的前景：「當我看Palantir時，這是爲數不多的幾家我可以輕鬆想象它成爲當前規模的10倍或20倍的公司。」
The broader Wall Street consensus remains cautious, with an average price target of $35.58 based on 20 analyst ratings, suggesting potential downside risk despite the company's strong momentum in artificial intelligence and data analytics.
華爾街更廣泛的共識仍然謹慎，根據20位分析師評級的平均目標價爲35.58美元，儘管在人工智能和數據分析方面公司擁有強勁的動能，但依然暗示潛在的下行風險。
