The Palantir Technologies(PLTR +2.94%) bubble is finally beginning to deflate: Shares in the artificial intelligence (AI)-driven data analytics company are now down 24% from the all-time high of $207 it reached in November. While the company's revenue and earnings continue to grow at an impressive clip, the stock has become so expensive that it is detached from fundamentals. Let's dig deeper into how much further Palantir could fall and decide when it might become an attractive long-term buy. Expand NASDAQ : PLTR Palantir Technologies Today's Change ( 2.94 %) $ 4.49 Current Price $ 157.16 Key Data Points Market Cap $376B Day's Range $ 150.29 - $ 161.45 52wk Range $ 66.12 - $ 207.52 Volume 75M Avg Vol 48M Gross Margin 82.37 % Why did Palantir boom? Palantir has been one of the top-performing AI companies over the last three years, with share price appreciation that topped even the industry leader, Nvidia, and absolutely trounced the S&P 500. That said, Palantir arguably isn't a "true" AI company in the same vein as OpenAI or Anthropic, which develop and run large language models (LLMs). Palantir focuses on big data analytics, helping its clients sift through vast volumes of data to uncover actionable insights. Among the uses for its technology are detecting fraud and finding ways to increase operational efficiency. Palantir also offers its software solutions to government customers such as military branches and intelligence agencies, helping them develop systems for target selection and battlefield awareness. It has high-profile contracts with the U.S. Army and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). That said, while Palantir isn't a pure-play AI company, its data analytics business synergizes extremely well with the new technology by allowing operators to pose queries using natural language in real time. And since the launch of the company's Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) in 2023, it has experienced a notable surge in revenue growth. Business is still...

If you are wondering whether Microsoft is still fairly priced after its long run as a market heavyweight, looking closely at its current valuation can help you decide how it might fit into your portfolio. The stock last closed at US$408.96, with returns of 2.6% over the past 7 days, 1.9% over the past 30 days, a year-to-date return of a 13.5% decline, and 8.4% over the past year. The 3-year and 5-year returns sit at 64.9% and 81.5% respectively. Recent headlines around Microsoft have focused on its role in large-scale technology trends and ongoing product rollouts, which keep the company firmly in the spotlight for investors. This backdrop helps explain why the share price has continued to move as the market continuously reassesses the balance between growth potential and risk. On our checks, Microsoft earns a valuation score of , with each point reflecting an area where the shares look undervalued. Next we will look at how different valuation methods arrive at that view before finishing with a broader way to think about what the numbers really mean. Advertisement Approach 1: Microsoft Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Analysis A Discounted Cash Flow, or DCF, model estimates what a company could be worth by projecting its future cash flows and then discounting them back to a single value in today’s dollars. For Microsoft, the model used here is a 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity approach. The company’s last twelve months Free Cash Flow is about $93.7b. Analysts provide explicit Free Cash Flow estimates out to 2030, with Simply Wall St extrapolating further to build a 10 year view. By 2035, the model is using projected Free Cash Flow of $264.5b, with each future year discounted back to reflect today’s value in $. Adding these discounted cash flows together produces an estimated intrinsic value of US$445.92 per share, compared with the recent share price of US$408.96. That implies Microsoft trades at roughly an 8.3% discount to this DCF estimate, which is a small gap rather ...

Billionaire Leo KoGuan doubled his stake in Nvidia Corp. to 2 million shares, boosting his investment in the chipmaker at a time when the war in the Middle East has sparked a global selloff of everything from bonds to equities. “As promised, I bought additional 1 million shares of NVDA today,” the investor posted early Saturday on X, days after he announced his first purchase. While small relative to his $13.4 billion fortune, as measured by the Bloomberg Billionaires Index , the acquisition is a notable move by KoGuan whose net worth for years largely has been tied up in just one stock: Tesla Inc. The timing is also noteworthy. Global equity indexes have broadly trended down since the US and Israel began their military campaign against Iran last month, and some worry that asset prices will fall further if the fighting drags on. Nvidia has fallen about 5% this year through Friday’s close, while Tesla is down nearly 12%, compared with a less-than 2% drop in the S&P 500. KoGuan, who is estimated to have spent roughly $350 million to acquire his Nvidia shares based on their recent closing prices, didn’t comment about his purchase beyond saying that, “Hopefully, I can contribute a little to calm the nervous market. Good luck all.”

Scotland's outstanding performance in their 50-40 win over France has given them a fighting chance of a first Six Nations title. Seven Scottish tries on a glorious sunlit afternoon at Murrayfield helped to blow the 2026 championship wide open with one round of fixtures remaining. Winners of the last Five Nations championship in 1999, Scotland are in uncharted waters in the Six Nations but they know that a bonus-point win over Ireland gives them the best chance of the title. "What a day for Scottish rugby," former Scotland international Johnnie Beattie told the Rugby Union Weekly podcast. "The performance was everything that everyone has been asking for and it takes us to Super Saturday, where we have never been before in the Six Nations. "The performance was wonderful and joyous to watch at times. The line-out fired, they pressurised France in every single way and then you saw French heads go.
