‘Nothing Lasts Forever,' Says Top Investor About Palantir Stock
Palantir (NASDAQ:PLTR) stock presents investors with quite a quandary. Confident Investing Starts Here: On the one hand, there is no denying that the company has delivered incredible growth over the past few years. Its revenues are skyrocketing, its margins are strong, and its list of customers continues to grow by leaps and bounds. Its share price has responded in kind, surging by over 466% over the past twelve months. And therein lies the rub, as PLTR is now trading at elevated multiples that are far and above the sector average. This leads to the question of whether all that company growth has led to enthusiasm that is a bit too optimistic. Top investor Riyado Sofian is decidedly on the fence, and is not sure which way the winds will blow. 'It's hard to decide whether to buy or sell — best to just hold it,' states the 5-star investor, who is in the top 3% of TipRanks' stock pros. Sofian outlines the bull case, describing a company that has introduced game-changing AI technology that sets the firm apart from its peers. Beyond the growing sales, profits, and customers, the investor also points out that revenues from Palantir's top 20 customers increased by 26% year-over-year, a strong indication of customer satisfaction. While the company continues to raise its guidance, it often succeeds in going well beyond these numbers, notes Sofian, and it has repeatedly 'destroyed its guidance' in previous quarters. In other words, more massive growth could be on the horizon for Palantir. 'All things considered, this is execution on an elite level — there's no denying it,' adds Sofian. And yet, judging by traditional metrics, the company is overvalued, the investor acknowledges, and its narrative as 'the most important AI company in the West' is what has powered its continuing ascent. For that reason, as long as the company's growth continues apace, PLTR should continue to rise as well. However, that is far from certain, and at a valuation of 100x its revenues, there is practically no room for error if the impressive rate starts to slow. To this point, Sofian reminds investors that nothing lasts forever. With neither a Buy nor a Sell looking particularly appealing, Sofian is splitting the difference and rating PLTR shares a Hold (i.e. Neutral). (To watch Sofian's track record, click here) That stance is echoed across Wall Street. Of the 18 analyst reviews on file, 11 say Hold, while just 3 recommend Buy and 4 suggest Sell, making PLTR a consensus Hold. The average 12-month price target sits at $101.06, implying a ~23% downside from current levels.

VinFast Auto Ltd (NASDAQ:VFS) reported a significant increase in vehicle deliveries, with a 296% year-over-year growth in electric vehicle deliveries for Q1 2025. The company achieved a notable improvement in gross margin, moving from minus 59% in the same period last year to minus 35% in Q1 2025. VinFast is expanding its market presence in Southeast Asia, with strong growth in Vietnam and strategic partnerships in Indonesia and the Philippines. The company is investing in new vehicle platforms and E/E architecture to drive cost efficiencies and improve product offerings. VinFast has secured substantial financial support, with liquidity standing at approximately USD2.4 billion, including loans and grants from Vingroup and its founder. Despite improvements, VinFast Auto Ltd (NASDAQ:VFS) reported a net loss of USD712 million for Q1 2025, highlighting ongoing financial challenges. The company is facing a decline in quarter-over-quarter vehicle deliveries, with a 32% drop in electric vehicle deliveries compared to the previous quarter. VinFast is closing direct-to-consumer showrooms in North America and Europe, indicating potential challenges in these markets. The company recorded a USD20 million impairment charge related to the closure of showrooms, with expectations of additional charges in the coming quarters. VinFast's cost of goods sold remains high, at 135% of revenue for the quarter, indicating ongoing pressure on profitability. Q: Can you provide the timeline for the new factories in Vietnam, India, and Indonesia, and their impact on production capacity? A: All facilities in Asia are expected to start operations this year. The India factory will open in July, followed by Hai Phong and then Indonesia. These facilities will focus on more affordable models, while the existing Vietnam facility will handle high-end models. Q: What are the key catalysts for VinFast's growth in the coming years? A: VinFast is focusing on scaling operations, accelerating product development, and executing cost optimization. We aim to double vehicle deliveries in 2025 and maintain momentum into 2026, driven by deeper market penetration and new CKD manufacturing facilities. Our next-generation products will be more cost-effective, and 2025 is a foundational investment year for our platforms and zonal architecture. Q: Could you elaborate on the decision to pivot into the bus market and the expected timeline for bus deliveries? A: We have started delivering buses in Vietnam and expect to deliver around 1,000 this year. We are expanding into other markets like Indonesia, Europe, the Middle East, and the US, gradually capturing growth in electric bus penetration. Q: What is the expected trajectory of average selling prices (ASPs) for the rest of the year? A: The ASP for Q1 2025 was around USD15,000, similar to Q4 2024. For the full year 2025, ASP is likely to remain under USD20,000, with smaller models like VF 3 and VF 5 contributing significantly to deliveries. Q: Can you share more details on the new vehicle platform and E/E architecture? A: Our next-generation vehicle platform focuses on cost efficiency, commonality, and modularity. The new E/E architecture reduces wiring complexity and enhances software scalability. We are also redesigning top hats to align with the platform, reducing costs and improving manufacturing efficiency.
