🤖 The 32% Dip You’ll Regret Missing: Why Palantir Is a Generational AI Bet

In partnership with

If you blinked, you missed it.

Palantir Technologies (PLTR) was on a rocket ride to $124 in mid-February 2025. Fast forward to March 31, and the stock cratered to $84.40—a gut-wrenching 32% plunge in just weeks.

Now, while some investors are panic-selling and refreshing their Robinhood app every 10 seconds, I’m doing something different.

I’m leaning in.

Not because I enjoy pain—but because I believe this isn’t a red flag. It’s a rare, calculated opportunity to accumulate shares in one of the most strategic AI powerhouses of our generation.

🔍 Why Palantir Deserves a Spot on Your Watchlist

Palantir isn’t just a software company. It’s the invisible infrastructure powering U.S. military decisions, cybersecurity, disaster response, and enterprise AI rollouts across Fortune 500 firms.

This isn’t “AI hype.” This is AI deployment at scale.

• Gotham helps intelligence agencies fight terrorism.

• Foundry enables data-driven decision-making across industries.

• AIP (Artificial Intelligence Platform) allows organizations to build real-time, AI-powered apps—without writing code.

💡 If you believe AI is the new electricity, Palantir is the grid.

📉 What Caused the 30% Drop?

Here’s what triggered the correction—and why it doesn’t shake my conviction:

1. Macro Panic: President Trump’s proposed 25% auto tariffs rattled markets. High-multiple tech names like PLTR felt the shockwave first.

2. Government Spending Fears: Over half of Palantir’s revenue comes from U.S. government contracts. Budget-cut rumors sparked selling.

3. Valuation Concerns: At its peak, PLTR traded at 150x forward earnings. In a jittery market, those valuations get punished.

But zoom out: these are short-term catalysts impacting a long-term story.

🚀 The Growth Engine Is Firing on All Cylinders

Palantir’s recent financials are proof that it's not hype—it’s execution:

• Q4 2024 Revenue: $828 million (+36% YoY)

• U.S. Revenue: $558 million (+52% YoY)

• U.S. Commercial Revenue: $214 million (+64% YoY)

• GAAP Net Income: $79 million (Profitable for the 5th straight quarter)

• Free Cash Flow Margin: 63%

Oh, and they raised their 2025 guidance to $3.8B—beating consensus.

That’s rare. And it's a flex.

💸 Is Palantir Overvalued?

Sure, it’s not cheap. But show me one market leader that is.

After the dip:

• Palantir is trading at ~22x sales.

• Snowflake trades at 30x sales—and it’s still unprofitable.

• CrowdStrike trades at 18x sales—with slower growth.

You’re not just buying revenue. You’re buying positioning in the AI arms race.

⚔️ Bull vs Bear: Choose Your Fighter

🐂 Bull Case:

• Unique, proven AI platforms (Foundry, Gotham, AIP)

• Revenue diversification into commercial clients

• Strong cash generation + expanding margins

🐻 Bear Case:

• Government reliance = policy risk

• Still richly valued

• Volatile, high-beta stock in an uncertain macro environment

But let’s be real: The bears have been wrong since $10. Long-term holders are still up 500%+.

🛒 Is Palantir Still a Buy?

Yes—but not blindly.

Here’s how I’m playing it:

✅ Buy in tranches – no one nails the bottom. I’m scaling in near $80.

✅ Position sizing – keeping it <5% of portfolio. The upside is asymmetric; no need to YOLO.

✅ Long-term view – I’m not here for the next earnings whisper. I’m here for what Palantir will become in 2027 and beyond.

🧾 The Bottom Line

Palantir isn’t just a defense contractor. It’s a generational AI infrastructure company hidden in plain sight.

This 30% drop? It’s the market giving you a second chance. And second chances in tech don’t come often.

I'm buying the dip. Slowly. Strategically. Boldly.

And if you believe in AI’s future, you should seriously consider it too.
