Shares of the cloud software company best known for its data analytics and AI platforms are trading up 275% year to date, the best-performing stock on the S&amp;P 500 this year after Vistra, an unregulated utility that&#39;s seen its stock soar as investors anticipate an AI-driven spike in demand for power.</p><p>Palantir stock&#39;s growth occurred after the company reported accelerating revenue growth and expanding margin in every quarter this year.

Englander had been a longtime investor in Palantir, buying the stock at its initial public offering (IPO) back in September 2020. He dumped nearly all his stake in Palantir in 2024&#39;s third quarter as the stock continued to reach new highs (it has climbed since then as well).

However, there&#39;s also good reason he may be wary of its valuation.</p><p>Palantir stock has soared since the end of the third quarter, jumping 74% since then, thanks, in part, to a strong third-quarter earnings report and the company&#39;s decision to move to the <strong>Nasdaq</strong> stock exchange. There, the company expects to be included in the <strong>Nasdaq-100 </strong>index, which will trigger ETFs that track the stock like <strong>Invesco QQQ Trust</strong> to buy shares.</p><p>By selling Palantir in the third quarter, it seems like Englander was premature in his decision, but that doesn&#39;t mean he&#39;s wrong.</p><h2 id=\"id_1431661513\">Is it time to sell Palantir?</h2><p>What&#39;s been most impressive about Palantir&#39;s recent bull run is that the momentum in the business keeps building.
