Palantir Technologies ($PLTR (+3.34%) ) is one of the most exciting companies in the field of data analysis and artificial intelligence (AI). It polarizes

like no other: some see the share as the next big tech miracle, others are skeptical as to whether the visions can ever lead to stable profits. Here I would like to give you a detailed insight into why Palantir is so often discussed and what opportunities and risks I see in the share.

The company: Data as the key to the future

Palantir Technologies was founded in 2003 and offers big data analytics platforms for governments, companies and organizations. The name comes from "Lord of the Rings" and refers to the "seeing stone" - fitting for a company that analyzes data streams to gain new insights.

Palantir operates in two main segments:

1.Government (government contracts): This segment currently accounts for the majority of sales. Customers include the US military, the CIA and other government agencies worldwide. Palantir is known for its proximity to government agencies.

2.Commercial (enterprise solutions): Palantir also provides private enterprise solutions to optimize business processes, manage risk and drive innovation.

The main platforms are:

-Palantir Gotham: Primarily for governments, especially in the area of intelligence and defense.

-Palantir Foundry: For companies to use data more efficiently and make decisions.

-Apollo: A software deployment and maintenance platform.

Why Palantir is so exciting

1. booming data market

We live in a world in which data is the most important resource. Companies and governments are looking for solutions to derive concrete instructions for action from the mass of information. Palantir is a pioneer in this pioneerthat not only analyzes data, but also transforms it into real added value.

2. strong government relations

Palantir has secured a firm place in the government sector over the years. Large government contracts, particularly from the USA, provide a stable revenue base. This provides the company with a degree of security in uncertain times, as governments prefer reliable partners.

3. growth in the commercial sector

Even though the focus has so far been strongly on government customers, the commercial sector is showing impressive growth. In 2024, commercial revenue accounted for almost 40% of total revenue clear proof that Palantir is also increasingly being used by companies. Customers such as Airbus, Merck and Ferrari show that Palantir is gaining a foothold in the commercial sector.

4 AI and innovation

Palantir is positioning itself as a key player in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). With the integration of AI-supported analyses and the ability to embed machine learning in decision-making processes, Palantir has an innovative edge over many of its competitors.

Why Palantir could be interesting in the long term

Growth prospects

The demand for data-based solutions will continue to grow in the coming years. Companies and governments are increasingly investing in technologies that optimize decision-making processes. Palantir is in an excellent position to benefit from this trend.

Long-term customer loyalty

Palantir develops customized solutions for its customers. These are so deeply integrated into their processes that changing providers is often costly and time-consuming. These "lock-in effects" lead to long-term partnerships - a major advantage for Palantir.

Scaling in the commercial sector

The biggest growth lever for Palantir is the commercial sector. While the public sector remains stable, increasing acceptance in the private sector could make the company more profitable in the long term.

High innovative strength

Palantir invests heavily in research and development. With new functions and platforms, the company is becoming increasingly relevant for sectors such as healthcare, energy, logistics and financial services.

Risks that should not be ignored

Despite the promising future, there are also risks associated with Palantir that should be kept in mind:

1.High dependence on government customers: The majority of revenue still comes from government contracts. Should these be reduced or terminated, this could have a significant negative impact on revenue.

2.Profitability: Although Palantir is growing, the company has only recently become profitable (by GAAP standards). Whether this profitability is sustainable remains to be seen.

3.Strong competition: The data analytics market is competitive. Companies such as Snowflake, Databricks and even Google offer similar solutions and could take market share away from Palantir.

4.Valuation: Palantir's shares are trading at a high price-to-sales ratio. This high valuation assumes that the company continues to grow strongly - a potential risk factor in weaker quarters.

The share: price performance and outlook

In recent years, the Palantir share has been on a rollercoaster ride rollercoaster ride. After a brilliant stock market debut at the end of 2020, the share price initially rose rapidly before undergoing a significant correction in 2022 and 2023.

The share price currently appears to be stabilizing, mainly thanks to the positive development in the commercial sector and the growing importance of AI solutions. However, analysts are divided: some see enormous potential, while others warn of the high valuation and dependence on government contracts.

Conclusion: an exciting investment with risks

The Palantir share offers an interesting opportunity to participate in the growth of the data market and progress in the field of AI. The company has a strong position in a promising market and is showing initial success in diversifying its business model.

However, the risks - particularly the high valuation and dependence on the state sector - should not be underestimated. However, for long-term investors who want to bet on the future of data analysis and AI, Palantir could be an exciting addition to the portfolio.

What do you think of Palantir shares? Do you already hold it or is it on your watchlist? Where do you see Palantir in the next few years?

While a co-pilot could possibly increase in productivity of 50 % unlocking the full economic potential requires a consideration of AI as a form of labor.

The key to a powerful toolset lies in finding solutions to long-term problems faster.

Hello Community,

As previously announced, I would like to give you a brief overview of the current changes in my portfolio today.

I keep my securities account with ING-DiBa.

There are fees for savings plans on individual shares in the amount of 1,75 % of the savings amount, while ETF savings plans are free of charge.

I also use an overnight deposit account, which unfortunately currently only pays 1,25 % interest.

Individual orders in direct trading are charged at 4.90 euros plus 0.25 percent of the investment amount if they are not part of a savings plan.

Sales in the last few weeks:

-ADM $ADM (-0.56%)

-Medical Properties $MPW (-0.7%)

-Virgin Galactic $SPCE (+0.16%)

- Alphawave $AWE (+2.61%)

Purchases this week:

-Rheinmetall (first purchase) $RHM (+0.54%)

-NU Holding (subsequent purchase) $NU (-0.05%)

My strategy for 2025:

In a nutshell:

Everything as always with me - savings plans and targeted individual purchases when the price and available cash are right.

This strategy has proven itself over the years and will remain my approach in 2025.

I have planned another sale when the share price is right and would like to buy DHL Group
$DHL (+0.22%) from the portfolio and invest the cash in Rheinmetall position.

Current savings plans (monthly):

-225 € ~ FTSE All World $VWCE (+0.17%)

-100 € ~ Tesla $TSLA (+1.21%)

-50 € ~ Microsoft $MSFT (+1.5%)

-50 € ~ Alphabet $GOOGL (-0.97%)

-50 € ~ Palantir $PLTR (+3.34%)

-25 € ~ Merck & Co. $MRK (+0.22%)

-25 € ~ Walmart $WMT (+0.19%)

-25 € ~ Allianz $ALV (+0.05%)

-25 € ~ RTX $RTX (+0.06%)

-25 € ~ Home Depot $HD (+0.27%)

-25 € ~ Apple $AAPL (-0.33%)

-25 € ~ Intel $INTC (-0.65%)

-25 € ~ Coca Cola $KO (+0.27%)

-25 € ~ McDonald's $MCD (+0.28%)

-25 € ~ Rheinmetall $RHM (+0.54%)

Current allocation by asset class in the portfolio:

-94,33 % Equities

-3,62 % Crypto

-2,05 % Gold

🔖 My approach to savings plans:

When I add a share to my savings plan, I always start with a basic investment (between €2,000 and €2,500) before I start with regular savings amounts.

I make sure that the share price is attractive at the time of entry - ideally I use a short-term dip.

Dividends received are always reinvested immediately, either through savings plans or targeted purchases.

Note on REITs (Realty Income and STAG):

Unfortunately, ING-DiBa does not offer monthly savings for REITs.

I therefore invest the dividends directly in my Allworld savings plan instead.

My position in Realty Income
$O (+0.28%) and STAG
$STAG (+1.2%) this year through individual purchases.

Watchlist with planned purchases:

-Euwax Gold 2 (additional purchase) $EWG2 (+0%)

-Palantir (additional buy) $PLTR (+3.34%)

-Nvidia (additional purchase) $NVDA (+3.98%)

-Reliance Industries (initial purchase) $RIGD (-0.71%)

-Aerovironment (initial purchase) $AVAV (+0.37%)

I hope you enjoyed this little insight into my portfolio.

I don't actually do that much, as I simply save my positions on a monthly basis and make targeted individual purchases.

P.S. I discover impressive portfolios on Getquin every day and keep coming across stocks that I am not yet familiar with.

The articles on various topics are also simply great.

Many thanks to the fantastic community and the daily "education"! 🫶

Best regards,

Michael

Due to my own inattention or incompetence, I will liquidate the positions except for gold and BTC.

Why? I only realized today that this taxation of unrealized gains on ETFs is actually coming into force.

In order to replicate the performance of Info Tech and Defense as closely as possible (I still want to exclude Mag 7 and the savings plan options also limit me slightly), I am betting on these stocks (all are equally weighted):

$ORCL (+8.17%)

$PANW (+0.01%)

$PLTR (+3.34%)

$PH (+0.54%)

$RTX (+0.06%)
