Palantir’s AI Rally Meets Valuation Scrutiny as Investors Line Up on Both Sides

Recent filings alongside fresh commentary underscore a stark divide in positioning.

Overview

  • Palantir’s latest quarter beat estimates and came with raised guidance, with management tying momentum to rapid uptake of its AIP and faster U.S. commercial growth.
  • The stock has surged roughly 220% over the past year, reflecting heightened investor interest in its AI-driven expansion.
  • Second‑quarter 13F disclosures show Israel Englander’s Millennium and Cliff Asness’s AQR adding Palantir shares, while trimming positions in Rigetti Computing.
  • Scion Asset Management’s November filing revealed Michael Burry took a bearish stance via put options on Palantir, citing concerns about an AI bubble.
  • A Bloomberg analysis flagged Palantir as the most expensive S&P 500 name on price‑to‑sales, and only about one‑quarter of covering analysts rate it a Buy, even as Jim Cramer voiced confidence in its fundamentals.
