Will PLTR & META Tie-Up Sparks Rally ?
@JC888：
It was just last week, that I shared a post on Palantir’s strategic move to migrate from the S&P 500 index to Nasdaq. (click here ! to read and repost to share) And the potential of its value (and stock price) rising further if it is selected to join the $NASDAQ 100(NDX)$ index. Even before this piece of good news has thoroughly filtered through, I am sharing another piece of celebratory (hopefully) news. With the unveil of ChatGPT in November 2022, artificial intelligence has taken the world by storm. Software companies are touting how AI-powered services can yield higher productivity levels in the workplace, while hardware and infrastructure players essentially hold the keys to the AI car through the power of data centers and semiconductor chips. $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ has been a major player at the intersection of AI and the commercial sector. However, recent news from $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ has sparked new ideas about the potential of AI in defense applications. (see below) Meta Aiding Military? One of the biggest breakthroughs from the AI revolution has been the introduction of the large language model (LLM), that essentially, is an AI model that processes and generates human-like text. While there are many LLMs on the market, OpenAI's ChatGPT is probably the most well-known. Interestingly, LLMs have far more power than: Enhancing productivity output. Answering questions with the click of a button. According to a recent press release, Meta's Llama AI model: Is now being used by the US government and some private companies. Have helped to (a) accelerate defense research and high-end computing, (b) identify security vulnerabilities and (c) improve communication between disparate systems. The idea of military and private sector overlap in operational challenges is often overlooked. Although both sectors strive for efficiency, US military places heavy emphasis on safety. According to Mordor Intelligence, the total addressable market size for AI analytics and robotic processing services in the defense sector will be worth more than $60 billion over the next 5 years. The good news - Meta will be partnering Palantir to introduce Llama AI into the public sector. META: Buy, Sell, or Hold? Meta is the undisputed social media leader with its range of apps - Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp and Thread. It also runs a growing business in virtual reality, games, and the metaverse. Meta's main AI plan is a simple one: Social media: Meta is leveraging on AI to better understand how its users behave. This helps Meta to show more effective ads, which should make users interact more with its apps. Virtual reality (VR) & Gaming: By offering new & innovative products, Meta can bring in different types of users, while making money from more than just ads. If it’s true that Meta is expanding its outreach into the defense and public sector AI markets, this will be a significant and strategic move to diversify its long-term future. Despite these positive developments, Meta's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 27 is historically low. Could now be a good time to buy Meta stocks because investors might have overlooked the above mentioned catalysts ? Think again ! PLTR : Buy, Sell, or Hold? Palantir has become one of the biggest profiles in AI in 2023. Following the release of its Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) in April 2023, PLTR has swiftly entered into a renaissance hallmarked by (a) accelerated customer acquisition, (b) revenue growth, and (c) consistent profitability. PLTR's transformation hasn't gone unnoticed. In 2024, it has announced two very strategic alliances: April 2024: A partnership with cloud computing specialist $Oracle(ORCL)$. (see above) August 2024: A deal with $Microsoft(MSFT)$ that marries AIP with Microsoft's Azure cloud infrastructure across US defense agencies, in less than 6 months. (see below) All these impressive developments have made a noticeable impact on Palantir's: Share price. YTD it has gained a whooping +296% , making it the 2nd highest performing stock in the S&P 500 index. Market capitalization. Roughly $140 billion. a ‘jump’ from just a few months ago, not even a month ago. Price-to-sales (P/S) ratio. At multiple of 53, the stock price is on the “expensive” end of the price spectrum. There is no denying that PLTR is a pedigree stock as far as, AI is concerned. It has the technical know-how and the product (across the best of bred secure infrastructure) to support its growth. Having said that, from a technical analysis standpoint - PLTR's stock price can be considered “too high” when run against its actual value, making it difficult for most to stomach. Existing shareholder, is it timely to partial or fully sell the stock at its peaks ? For interested investor/s, prudent to wait for the price to drop before buying ? Having said that, the latest news on US military partnership between META & PLTR was out only on Sat, 16 Nov 2024. Will market be willing to let this piece of news run its course, resulting in higher prices for both META and PLTR ? Readers, what do you think ? Must Read: Click on below titles to access.
