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.（纽交所：PLTR）今年迄今为止股价飙升超过376%，在2022年的挑战时期，散户投资者对其的理解优于机构投资者，以上是Wedbush Securities的董事Dan Ives的观点。
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."
发生了什么：Ives在与Palantir投资者Amit Kukreja的采访中表示：“在2022年，机构投资者在投资Palantir时陷入了集体思维。它并不属于名流俱乐部。”他补充说：“人们并不了解Palantir的文化。我们谈论的是精英中的精英。”
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.
这家数据分析公司的股票表现使其成为今年S&P 500的最佳表现者，推动其市值达到1764.7亿。然而，这一激增引发了分析师的估值担忧，股票交易价格是其预计2025年盈利的172倍，几乎是行业平均水平的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.
为什么这很重要：尽管估值高企，Ives仍对Palantir持看好态度，目标价为75美元，称Palantir为“人工智能界的梅西”，并预测2025年人工智能支出将显著增长。瑞士银行最近设定了更高的80美元目标，同时维持中立评级，但对当前49倍营业收入的估值表示担忧。
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员工Alex Fishman现在在Empros Capital工作，他强调了乐观的前景：“当我看Palantir时，这是为数不多的几家我可以轻松想象它成为当前规模的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.
华尔街更广泛的共识仍然谨慎，根据20位分析师评级的平均目标价为35.58美元，尽管在人工智能和数据分析方面公司拥有强劲的动能，但依然暗示潜在的下行风险。
