Is Palantir the Next Tesla?
Key Points Tesla is a popular stock among individual investors. Palantir also doesn't have much institutional ownership. Low institutional ownership can cause a stock to challenge traditional stock market practices. 10 stocks we like better than Palantir Technologies › Palantir 's (NASDAQ: PLTR) impressive rise over the past few years has been nothing short of incredible. Still, there have also been questions surrounding Palantir's ability to deliver on the high expectations baked into the stock price. There has been no shortage of analysts calling for Palantir's fall (myself included) due to extreme valuation. This reminds me of another stock whose valuation metrics do not make a lot of sense: Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA). However, Tesla has continued to defy traditional valuation metrics and has stayed at an elevated stock price for some time. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » Could Palantir fall into this same realm? Or is it so inflated that a crash is coming? Tesla and Palantir's rise look similar Tesla stock's primary rise started in 2020, increasing from about $24 per share all the way to around today's $340 per share. It returned over 1,100% over that time frame, resulting in a rise that few stocks have ever matched. Palantir's rise has similarly been rapid and impressive. Its stock rose from around $16 to $185 at the time of this writing, resulting in about 1,000% gains. Both companies delivered impressive performance in a very short amount of time, despite not increasing their revenue by 10 times (or more) over that time frame. As a result, most investors assume that they've grown too fast and are ripe for a pullback. But this analysis excludes a significant aspect of the investment thesis. Palantir and Tesla have low institutional ownership One of the reasons why Tesla's stock did so well over that time frame is that individual investors owned it. Individual investors don't have the same mindset as institutions. Various funds and other money managers are likely more devoted to traditional valuation metrics. If their discounted cash flow (DCF) models don't work out, then they avoid the stock entirely. However, companies like Tesla and Palantir break the mold of what traditional finance teaches, which can invalidate the assumptions that go into these models. Individual investors are far more likely to take a long-term view and note that Tesla's technology and vision could allow it to deliver massive growth over the long term. This illustrates a huge difference in approaches: Institutional investors utilize trailing metrics to predict the future, while individual investors look at the world and see where it could go. This difference has allowed stocks like Tesla and Palantir to thrive, leading to massive market outperformance as individual investors are less concerned with traditional valuation measures. Whether you think that's a correct approach to these two stocks or not is irrelevant; it's what's going on. Luckily, we have access to a metric that measures the percentage of shares outstanding that institutions own. For Tesla, about 49% of shares outstanding are institutionally owned. Compared to other tech giants, this is rather low. For comparison, Alphabet and Meta Platforms each have about 78% of shares outstanding owned by institutional investors. That's quite the difference and shows how much individuals, rather than large institutions, own Tesla. Palantir is in the same territory as Tesla, with about 53% of shares owned by institutions. Compared to the two closest companies in market cap to Palantir, Costco and ExxonMobil, these two have 69% and 67% of shares owned by institutional investors, respectively. Because Palantir has a similarly small amount of shares owned by institutional investors as Tesla, the stock will likely continue to perform in a manner that some may consider irrational. The decision to invest in Palantir is up to you, but investors need to be aware that after Tesla's massive run, the stock became incredibly volatile. Palantir could be approaching that point, but we'll find out in the coming years. Should you invest $1,000 in Palantir Technologies right now?

Thinking of Buying Tesla Stock? Here Are 2 Red Flags to Watch
Key Points Tesla's heavy reliance on Elon Musk adds significant leadership risk. Increasing competition from established automakers and Chinese EV makers is pressuring Tesla's dominance. Investors need to be comfortable with Tesla's high valuation. These 10 stocks could mint the next wave of millionaires › Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) has long been the front runner in the electric vehicle (EV) revolution in the U.S. Its innovation, brand strength, and rapid growth have made it a favorite among investors. Yet, despite its impressive track record, there are two big risks that investors should carefully consider before buying Tesla stock today. 1. The Elon Musk factor Elon Musk 's leadership is often cited as Tesla's greatest strength -- and, paradoxically, one of its most significant vulnerabilities. Musk's vision and hands-on approach have driven Tesla's technological breakthroughs and ambitious expansion. However, this heavy reliance on a single individual introduces what investors refer to as "key man risk." If Musk were to step back from daily operations or shift his focus to other projects, Tesla might face challenges in maintaining its momentum. Though Tesla's management team has grown stronger, few executives command the same vision, drive, and public attention as Musk. Recently, Musk's increasing involvement in political activities has raised concerns about potential distractions or reputational risks for Tesla. While the company has remained operationally strong, these developments underscore the uncertainty around its future leadership continuity. While Tesla's success lies not only with Musk but also with his team, which has executed well on his vision -- no one can build a trillion-dollar company alone -- there is still no clear successor (or a viable management team) . The silver lining here is that the Tesla board has become more serious about finding one in recent months, largely due to the CEO's active involvement in politics. For investors, this means that Tesla's fortunes remain closely tied to Musk's presence and decisions -- a factor that adds a layer of risk to the investment. 2. Intensifying competition Tesla might have been an early mover in the EV industry, but its dominance is no longer guaranteed. The industry landscape is rapidly evolving, with legacy automakers and new entrants accelerating their electric ambitions. Companies like Ford and General Motors are aggressively expanding their EV lineups. For instance, Ford plans to introduce a $30,000 midsize truck by 2027. That price is significantly lower than the average for an EV, and Ford is investing $5 billion in its EV production to make it happen. GM, on the other hand, is working hard on next-generation battery technologies to improve range, charging performance, and cost. Meanwhile, Chinese manufacturers such as BYD are growing their international footprints, particularly in Europe, where Tesla experienced a nearly 27% sales declinein July 2025. BYD's battery technology, government support, and competitive pricing make it a formidable challenger. In addition, a host of EV start-ups are innovating in battery tech, autonomous driving, and new business models, further intensifying competition. While Tesla is not sitting still -- it is working on becoming the lowest-cost producer by cutting prices to grow sales volume and achieve economies of scale -- there is no guarantee that it can maintain its market share over time. In short, it's no longer the only player in town. What does this mean for investors? Tesla's story remains compelling: It's a pioneer with a powerful brand, innovative products, and potential optionality with some of its long shot bets (robotaxi, humanoid robots, etc). But the key man risk surrounding Musk and the escalating competitive landscape are real concerns that investors can't ignore. If Tesla continues to innovate more rapidly than its rivals, the company could sustain its growth trajectory. However, any leadership changes or slips in market position could hurt the business and its share price. While these two risks don't necessarily call for the sale of the stock, they do mean that investors should think carefully before buying the stock today. Tesla stock trades at a significant premium valuation to other carmakers. For perspective, Tesla has a price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 12.9, compared to GM's 0.3. Unless you're comfortable with the risks and the high valuation, buying the stock today may not be a prudent decision. Don't miss this second chance at a potentially lucrative opportunity Ever feel like you missed the boat in buying the most successful stocks? Then you'll want to hear this. On rare occasions, our expert team of analysts issues a 'Double Down' stock recommendation for companies that they think are about to pop. If you're worried you've already missed your chance to invest, now is the best time to buy before it's too late. And the numbers speak for themselves: Nvidia: if you invested $1,000 when we doubled down in 2009, you'd have $467,985!* Apple: if you invested $1,000 when we doubled down in 2008, you'd have $44,015!* Netflix: if you invested $1,000 when we doubled down in 2004, you'd have $668,155!* Right now, we're issuing 'Double Down' alerts for three incredible companies, available when you join Stock Advisor, and there may not be another chance like this anytime soon.

Not Nearly Enough People Are Talking About MercadoLibre's Recent Earnings Report
Key Points This e-commerce company's growth remains impressive, with plenty of opportunity ahead. MercadoLibre is spending more now to ensure it wins its fair share of this future growth. Interested investors will want to make sure they enter a position with a true long-term mindset. 10 stocks we like better than MercadoLibre › You're probably aware of how the market's biggest companies fared last quarter. The biggest earnings reports, however, aren't necessarily the best we've seen. Many of this earnings season's most impressive numbers are coming from names that few people have even heard of, and even fewer are talking about yet. Case in point: MercadoLibre (NASDAQ: MELI). This profitable e-commerce outfit's top line soared 34% last quarter (up 53% on a constant-currency basis), extending a multi-year growth streak that's likely to persist at this pace for at least a few more. Better still, the stock didn't jump after the company posted its second-quarter numbers last Monday. They're down just a bit since then, in fact, translating into opportunity for investors looking for a reasonably valued growth stock. Here's the deal. A pretty solid Q2 If you've never heard of MercadoLibre, the most likely reason is that it doesn't do business in the United States. MercadoLibre's focus is exclusively on the Latin American market, and for now, mostly Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina. It's an e-commerce platform, although the description doesn't quite do it justice. It would be more accurate to describe it as a complete business ecosystem, offering everything from payment processing to banking to logistics to advertising, and, of course, a place to sell goods online. It's often referred to as the Amazon of Latin America, in fact, although even that comparison somehow seems to fall short of everything that MercadoLibre is. It's certainly growing like Amazon did during its early years. Last quarter's top line of just under $6.8 billion was 34% better than the year-earlier comparison, lifted by a 21% improvement in the number of merchandise sales it facilitated, and a 39% increase in the number of payments it handled. Indeed, despite offering a wide range of retail technology solutions, payments are actually its biggest business. Although the company doesn't provide guidance, the analyst community is looking for comparable revenue growth at least through 2027. Earnings growth is expected to keep pace too, improving from last fiscal year's $37.69 per share to $95.20 by the end of the three-year stretch. This begs the aren't more people talking about this amazing growth story? For that matter, how has this ticker been allowed to drift lower since its short-lived and relatively small surge following May's release of its first-quarter numbers? There's a reason -- just not a good one. Lots to like Obviously, there are no absolute certainties as to why a stock behaves as it does. There are only conjectures. Conjectures can be well-informed, though. In this case, the post-earnings buzz was focused on MercadoLibre's thinning profit margins. Sales grew well enough, but its costs grew a bit more, limiting last quarter's net income to only $10.31 per share versus analysts' expectation for a per-share profit of $11.93. Free shipping of online orders to more of Brazil's e-commerce customers was the key culprit, although several categories of expenditures -- including marketing -- grew more than a little during the company's fiscal second quarter. The short-term pain is worth the long-term gain There's something the market's not fully appreciating about MercadoLibre's relatively expensive decision to lower the minimum order threshold for free shipping. As MercadoLibre's commerce president (and future CEO) Ariel Szarfsztejn commented during the company's Q2 earnings conference call: "We just launched this [more free shipping] a few weeks back. So it's a bit early, but we definitely expect the trend that we see in traffic increases, conversion rate increasing, more engagement, more frequency to continue in the future. And with that, we expect to see orders going up, order sizes going up and so on." Let's not forget that such an investment in its future growth worked incredibly well for Amazon several years back. Right time, right place Perhaps the most exciting aspect of MercadoLibre's growth story has nothing to do with the company itself, and everything to do with the market it serves. In many ways, Latin America is now where North America was 20 years ago. Although online shopping had been around for a while by then, high-speed internet was still relatively new at that time, and broadband-connected smartphones were just starting to become the norm. That's a big reason Amazon's (and for that matter, the industry's) fastest and most explosive growth didn't materialize in earnest until around 2007, when the first iPhone debuted. Now, it's Latin America's turn. Although mobile phones and broadband connectivity have been offered in most of the region's major markets for a while, both are only just now becoming widely available and affordable. Market research firm Canalys says that smartphone shipments to Latin America grew 15% last year to reach a record high of 137 million units, versus a market population of nearly 670 million. Meanwhile, Cognitive Market Research predicts that South America's fiber-to-the-home market is set to grow at an average annual pace of 12.5% through 2030, underscoring the broadband connectivity newness and lingering lack of penetration in the region. As was the case in the U.S., it's not taking Latin America's consumers and companies long to figure out they can easily connect online. That's why AI-powered decision-intelligence software provider Parcel Perform believes the region's e-commerce market is set to grow at a brisk 19% per year through 2027. As the leader of the markets where it focuses its efforts, MercadoLibre is well-positioned to capture more than its fair share of this growth. The fact that these markets are currently highly fragmented only improves the opportunity to consolidate this business under one all-encompassing roof. Worth the wait Just because a company is doing all the right things well doesn't inherently mean its stock is always easy to own -- an idea proven by this stock since shortly after May's earnings report. MercadoLibre is still growing, and there's sound, proven reasoning for its sizable spending growth. Investors still aren't convinced, though, and they're dragging the stock lower due to their doubt. That's understandable. Just don't forget the brilliant observation that economist Benjamin Graham made in his 1949 book, The Intelligent Investor, which still applies today: "In the short run, the market is a voting machine but in the long run, it is a weighing machine." The recent weakness in MercadoLibre's shares is an emotionally driven "vote" against the company's profit-pinching decision to cast a wide net by offering more free shipping, and spending more on marketing. In the long run, shares will reflect the benefit of this investment that MercadoLibre's making in its own bright future. The stock's pricing disparity in the meantime spells opportunity for long-term-minded growth investors. Should you invest $1,000 in MercadoLibre right now?
