Could Buying Palantir Today Set You Up for Life?
Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR) has been around for more than 20 years and in its earlier days was most known for software contracts with government clients. But in recent times, commercial customers have offered this player an exciting new revenue stream, and today, with both government and commercial growth soaring, the future looks bright. Investors have recognized this, and they've been piling into Palantir shares for quite some time. Last year, the stock surged 340%, posting the best performance in the S&P 500. In fact, Palantir's share price has climbed so far and so fast that it's found itself at an eye-popping valuation. Still, earnings have continued to march higher and haven't shown any signs of slowing. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Learn More » Considering this, could buying Palantir today, even at the current valuation, set you up for life? Let's find out. One of the superstars of the AI boom So, first, a quick summary of Palantir's business. The company, through its software platforms, helps customers aggregate often the most disparate of data to make better use of it. Palantir has integrated artificial intelligence (AI) into this process and two years ago launched its Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP). This has made the company one of the superstars of the AI boom as both governments and commercial customers raced to get in on this often game-changing tool. AIP can be useful in everything from battlefield operations, immediately identifying risks and implementing key plans, to business needs -- for example, customer United Airlines is using AIP for predictive maintenance, helping the airline avoid delays and millions of dollars in costs. How did Palantir reach so many customers so quickly with AIP? The company launched AIP bootcamps, sessions that allow potential users to go from zero to a use case within hours -- so they can see exactly how AIP could benefit their businesses. All of this has translated into explosive revenue growth, particularly as commercial customers discover that Palantir is no longer a business that primarily serves governments -- instead, its technology has broad applications that also are valuable in the commercial world. In the most recent quarter, U.S. commercial revenue advanced more than 70% to $255 million, and the U.S. commercial business delivered its most valuable quarter, booking total contract value of $810 million. That's up 183% from the year-earlier period. Growth in government and commercial revenue As I mentioned, this is as government revenue continues to climb in the double digits quarter after quarter, so Palantir has conserved the growth of its main revenue stream -- the government business -- and added to it with a newer and high-potential revenue stream -- I say "high potential" because companies across industries are aiming to apply AI to their businesses, and Palantir's AIP makes it easy for them to do this. Importantly, Palantir isn't only focused on revenue gains, but the company also has struck a fantastic balance between growth and profitability -- as seen in its Rule of 40 score. Scores of 40% or higher indicate a software player has balanced these two priorities well, so Palantir's delivery of a score of 83% shows the company is hitting it out of the park. Only about a third of software companies meet this rule, according to McKinsey research, and this further highlights Palantir's accomplishment. All of this is very positive, but now let's look at the one point that's been a thorn in the side of Palantir and its investors: and that's the stock's valuation. Today, it trades for an eye-popping 219 times forward earnings estimates, making some investors question whether they should buy the stock or even stay invested if they've already bought it. At such a valuation, the risk is any disappointment could hurt stock performance. Two important questions So, considering all of this, could this unstoppable (at least so far) stock set you up for life? There actually are two questions here, and the first is: Is Palantir a buy? If you're a value investor, you're sure to find a stock better suited to your strategy elsewhere. But if you're a growth investor and aim to hold on for at least five years, even at today's high valuation it's worth picking up a few Palantir shares. The forward price-to-earnings ratio we looked at, above, considers potential earnings next year -- but not over the long term. Palantir is well positioned to gain as the AI boom continues over the next several years, so even if the stock dips at certain points here and there, you still may benefit greatly from an investment today. As for setting you up for life, this growth stock could help -- but it's never a good idea to depend on one stock on its own to do the whole job. It's much too risky to put all of your eggs in one basket. Instead, supercharge your wealth-building power by investing in several quality stocks and holding on for the long haul.

One of Jensen Huang's Ambitious Goals Might Make Nvidia Its Own Worst Enemy
The advent and proliferation of the internet in the mid-1990s was a can't-miss trend that captivated the attention of everyday investors. Since this moment, numerous other game-changing innovations have come along that have promised pie-in-the-sky addressable markets. This includes business-to-business e-commerce, genomics, 3D printing, and the metaverse, to name a few hot trends. But over the last three decades, no trend has come particularly close to rivaling what the internet did for corporate America... until now. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Learn More » The evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) looks to be the next leap forward for the tech industry and society as a whole. The vastness of this game-changing opportunity, which allows AI-empowered software and systems to make split-second decisions without human intervention, is reflected in PwC's estimate that AI will add $15.7 trillion to the global economy in 2030. A $15.7 trillion addressable market means a lot of companies are going to be winners, from hardware to actual application. However, no company has been a bigger beneficiary of the AI revolution than Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA). The potential problem is that one of Nvidia's biggest perceived competitive advantages might also be its undoing. Innovation comes first for Nvidia and CEO Jensen Huang Since 2022 came to a close, shares of Nvidia have advanced by more than 870%, with the company tacking on over $3 trillion in market cap and completing a historic 10-for-1 forward split. Though Nvidia's aggregate percentage return has lagged Palantir Technologies, Nvidia's valuation soared quicker than any megacap stock in history. Nvidia's outperformance is directly reflective of its ideal positioning in AI-accelerated data centers. The company's Hopper (H100) graphics processing units (GPUs) and successor Blackwell GPU have been the preferred options in high-compute data centers. In other words, there's a very high probability that Nvidia's hardware is behind the latest generative AI solutions and the training of most large language models. Being at the leading edge of the hottest trend on Wall Street over the last three decades has its perks. With demand for AI-GPUs handily swamping supply, Wall Street's AI darling has been able to charge a veritable arm and a leg for its hardware. Last year, Nvidia's Hopper chip was flying off the shelves with a price tag north of $40,000. For the sake of comparison, Advanced Micro Devices was selling its Instinct MI300X series chips for between $10,000 and $15,000. The ability to charge a premium for its hardware sent Nvidia's gross margin soaring. After consistently producing a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) gross margin in the low-to-mid 60% range prior to the rise of AI, Nvidia saw its GAAP gross margin explode to as high as 78.4% in the fiscal first quarter one year ago (the company's fiscal year ends in late January). But it can be argued that Nvidia's greatest competitive advantage is its innovation, which is led by CEO Jensen Huang. Huang's aggressive ambition is to bring a next-generation AI chip to market on an annual basis. It began with the Hopper and Blackwell, and is expected to continue with the release of Blackwell Ultra in the latter-half of this year, Vera Rubin in the second-half of 2026, and Vera Rubin Ultra in the latter-half of 2027. As you might have surmised, Vera Rubin and Vera Rubin Ultra will be running on a new processor, known as "Vera." This processor should be capable of doubling the processing performance of Blackwell Ultra, with considerably improved memory capacity and memory bandwidth than predecessor chips. The key point being that Huang wants to keep Nvidia in its decisive leadership position on the compute front, which in turn should help the company charge a premium price for its hardware, relative to external competitors like AMD and China-based Huawei. Could Jensen Huang's accelerated innovation timeline be Nvidia's worst enemy? For virtually all publicly traded companies, innovation is paramount to success. Huang's aggressive spending on research to develop faster and more-efficient AI-GPUs is something that Wall Street and investors would almost universally cheer. But there's a very real possibility that Jensen Huang's accelerated innovation timeline may do more harm than good for his company. While it does appear that Nvidia will hang onto its compute advantages for the foreseeable future, there are far more considerations businesses have to take into account than just compute ability. Imagine for a moment that you're a " Magnificent Seven" business and one of Nvidia's top customers that just dropped tens of billions of dollars on the company's hardware to cement your spot as an AI leader. Now imagine your AI-GPUs massively depreciating in value one or two years later because of Nvidia's accelerated innovation cycle. Are you really expected to drop $10 billion-plus every year or two for the latest chip? Highly unlikely. What's interesting is that many of Nvidia's leading customers by net sales within the Mag-7 are internally developing AI-GPUs and solutions of their own. Though this hardware isn't going to externally compete against Hopper, Blackwell, or the company's successor chips, it'll be notably cheaper than Nvidia's GPUs. Further, since these internally developed chips aren't backlogged like Nvidia's chips, they'll be far more accessible. This points to Nvidia's largest customers by net sales delaying their upgrade cycles. Nvidia's GAAP gross margin has come under pressure over the last year. NVDA Gross Profit Margin (Quarterly) data by YCharts. We might also see Nvidia's largest revenue customers opt for older chips as they depreciate. Though Huang's entire premise of introducing a new GPU annually is to sustain his company's pricing power, his own accelerated development timeline could crater Nvidia's GAAP gross margin as businesses purchasing their own hardware -- not those leasing data center space -- trade down to less-costly but still quick alternatives. Jensen Huang's aggressive innovation cycle is also potentially damaging to data-center leasing models, such as the newly public CoreWeave (NASDAQ: CRWV). Between 2022 and 2024, CoreWeave used extensive debt financing to acquire approximately 250,000 GPUs, many of which are Nvidia's Hopper chip. The value of these chips will likely depreciate rapidly with Wall Street's AI darling introducing an advanced GPU annually. Businesses wanting cutting-edge compute capabilities might pass on CoreWeave's data centers faster than investors might realize. While there's no question that Nvidia's AI-GPUs are superior to the competition in compute ability, there's far more that goes into a business's purchasing decision. There's a very real possibility that Huang's own ambitious GPU innovation timeline acts as his company's own worst enemy in the years to come. Should you invest $1,000 in Nvidia right now?

Broadcom Slides on Solid Earnings, AI Outlook Still Strong
[content-module:CompanyOverview|NASDAQ:AVGO] Given Broadcom's (NASDAQ: AVGO) explosive up moves after its past two earnings releases, many investors were likely hopeful to see fireworks again on June 5. The chip giant's price action would disappoint, but it should not discourage investors. Broadcom's fiscal Q2 earnings were solid by all accounts. Additionally, management provided some helpful commentary, despite deflecting some of the analysts' most pressing questions. Broadcom's Financials and Guidance Were Right on the Money Both on the top and bottom lines, Broadcom's fiscal Q2 2025 results came in almost exactly in line with expectations. The company's revenues of $15 billion resulted in growth of above 20%. This barely beat growth expectations of just under 20%. The company's adjusted earnings per share of $1.58 beat expectations of $1.57. The figure resulted in an earnings growth rate of under 44%, surpassing estimates of just under 43% growth. In terms of guidance, the company forecasted revenue of approximately $15.8 billion for fiscal Q3. This implies a growth rate of 21%, a sprinkle above estimates. Broadcom also predicted its adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) margin to come in at 'at least' 66%. This implies a small contraction from the 67% figure it achieved in fiscal Q2. Tan's Takes: Business Remains Booming, but No Seismic Updates Revealed Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Hock Tan said the company's three hyper-scale customers and four potential ones are 'unwavering' in their AI investment plans. This is true even with the current macroeconomic challenges. The company backed this up by providing AI semiconductor guidance of $5.1 billion in fiscal Q3, which would be an increase of 60%. Additionally, the company confirmed that, based on current visibility, it expects this growth rate to continue through fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2026. This is a particularly positive sign, indicating that demand is not expected to slow down anytime soon. However, to the chagrin of analysts, Tan firmly refused to give insights on when revenue contributions for its prospective customers might come. Tan said the company would likely not provide updates on this until sometime in fiscal 2026. He also refused to provide any type of updates to the company's serviceable addressable market (SAM) estimates. Tan provided notable news on the company's infrastructure software segment, particularly when it came to moving VMware customers from perpetual licenses to subscriptions. This has been key to the company's software success. Shifting customers to subscriptions boosts recurring revenue. It also upsells them to a more comprehensive package. Now, 87% of the company's 10,000 largest VMware customers have transitioned to the subscription model, a significant increase from just 70% a quarter ago. Tan added that two-thirds of the overall customer base have transitioned, moderately up from 60% last quarter. Another interesting highlight was the company's AI networking revenue. This came in strong at 40% of total AI revenue, the same as the prior quarter. The company expected this figure to drop closer to 30%, but it hasn't. The company continues to guide that, on average, AI networking will make up around 30% of total AI revenue over time. Tan said the company was experiencing a positive surprise in AI networking. He said that 'scale-up' data center server architectures are increasingly adopting Ethernet. Scale-up refers to when server racks pack compute chips more densely. Meanwhile, "scale-out" architectures increase computing capacity by adding more server racks across a data center. Scale-up architecture requires 5 to 10 times higher switch density than scale-out architectures. This creates a significant need for the company's new high-capacity Tomahawk 6 switch chips, which offer leading-edge port density and bandwidth. Broadcom Shares Fall Moderately, But Remain Barely Off All-Time Highs [content-module:Forecast|NASDAQ:AVGO] By the end of after-hours trading, shares were down around 4%. Broadcom's share drop shows mild disappointment in its financials. It is also indicative of the fact that there was no groundbreaking news in the call. Still, it's hard to be overly disappointed. The stock was trading very close to an all-time high before the result. At the conclusion of after-hours trading, shares were down less than 5% from their all-time closing high. The market will want to see much larger beats to send shares soaring, as in past quarters. Getting more information around contributions from prospective AI-chip customers could also do the trick. Potential analyst upgrades may also propel shares higher as information from these earnings gets digested further. Overall, things at Broadcom are going according to plan.
