The stock ended at $82.41 apiece on Thursday. This was above its eight and 50-day simple moving average of $78.50 and $74.57, respectively. According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data, its current stock price was also higher than the 50-day moving average of $61.73, and its 200-day moving average of $36.13.
On the other hand, the relative strength index of 71.99 suggests the stock is overbought and could potentially be nearing a price correction.

Why It Matters: According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com">Benzinga</a>, PLTR has a consensus &#8216;sell&#8217; with a price target of $35.58 based on the ratings of 20 analysts.
The highest price target out of all the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PLTR/analyst-ratings">analysts</a> tracked by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com">Benzinga </a>is $80 issued by UBS with a &#8216;neutral&#8217; rating on Dec. 19. UBS is bullish on Palantir&#8217;s AI-driven growth potential but remains sidelined due to its extremely high valuation. UBS believes the current valuation is unjustified with 49 times revenue and 124 times free cash flow on 2025 estimates. Despite this, Palantir&#8217;s impressive growth and increasing institutional interest make it a stock to watch for potential future investment opportunities, says UBS.
Wedbush analyst Dan Ives, a strong Palantir bull with a $75 price target issued on Nov. 25 with an &#8216;outperform&#8217; rating. He believes AI spending will surge in 2025. He lauds Palantir as &#8220;the Messi of AI,&#8221; emphasizing its leading role in the AI revolution. Ives highlights the expanding use cases for Palantir&#8217;s products, a growing partner ecosystem, and rising demand for its enterprise AI solutions.
Mizuho raised its price target to $44 while maintaining an &#8216;underperform&#8217; rating. This increase reflects broader software sector multiple expansions. Mizuho identifies key trends driving software growth: digital transformation, AI, data analytics, cloud migrations, DevOps, and cybersecurity. While the risk/reward is more balanced, Mizuho sees continued attractiveness in the software sector.
The lowest target price of $7.5 per share, maintaining an &#8216;underperform&#8217; from Wolfe Research was adjusted on Aug. 8, 2023. The average price target of $64.67 between UBS, Mizuho, and Baird implies a 20.96% downside for PLTR.

Shares of stocks in the broader software sector are trading lower amid overall market weakness following the Fed's rate decision to cut rates by 25 basis points.

In the current market session, Intuit Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTU#NASDAQ">INTU</a>) stock price is at $671.67, after a 0.90% drop. However, over the past month, the company's stock increased by 3.24%, and in the past year, by 8.16%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is not performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1734548408_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>How Does Intuit P/E Compare to Other Companies?</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 95.11 in the Software industry, Intuit Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 65.93. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1734548408_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

<h3>The Importance of Insider Transactions</h3>
In the complex landscape of investment decisions, investors should approach insider transactions as part of a comprehensive analysis, considering various elements.
Within the legal framework, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities as per Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are mandated to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
The initiation of a new purchase by a company insider serves as a strong indication that they expect the stock to rise.
However, insider sells may not always signal a bearish view and can be influenced by various factors.
<h3>Understanding Crucial Transaction Codes</h3>
When it comes to transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> tend to focus on those in the open market, detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S indicates a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Here&#8217;s a look at the Benzinga Stock Whisper Index for the week ending Nov. 29:
Simon Property Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPG#NYSE">SPG</a>): The large real estate investment trust saw increased interest from readers during the week. This trend could point to optimism ahead of the 2024 holiday shopping season, which is expected to see records set <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/retail-sales/24/11/42225933/black-friday-cyber-monday-shopping-set-to-break-sales-records">for Black Friday</a>. 
With Thanksgiving falling later than normal, there are only 27 days from the day before Thanksgiving to Christmas Day. While this means fewer shopping weekends for retailers and malls, it could see a boost in traffic during the four main shopping holidays. 
Analysts have been raising their price targets on the stock ahead of the holiday shopping season. Stifel raised their price target from $164.50 to $175.50 and Scotiabank raised their price target from $169 to $185.

The company is one of several energy companies betting on future nuclear energy that could benefit from a boom in big companies like Alphabet (Google), Amazon and Microsoft emphasizing nuclear power. 
Goldman Sachs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41731110/goldman-sachs-sees-early-stages-of-nuclear-renaissance-in-us-analysts-highlight-top">recently said </a>the U.S. could be in the "early stages of nuclear renaissance." Constellation Energy was named in the analyst note, with the company's Three Mile Island plant being brought back online highlighted as the start of other similar moves.
"Recognition of accelerated power demand growth from utilities is leading to greater willingness to consider new large-scale reactors," Goldman Sachs said.
The company recently reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41719271/constellation-energy-q3-earnings-beat-revised-fy24-eps-guidance-more">third-quarter financial results </a>that saw revenue and earnings per share come in ahead of analyst estimates. Constellation Energy also raised full-year earnings per share estimates.
Constellation shares were up 2.2% over the past five days and shares are up over 120% year-to-date in 2024.

Ufp Industries Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UFPI#NASDAQ">UFPI</a>): The wooden pallet manufacturer and industrial packaging solutions company saw increased interest from readers during the week. 
The company, which also supplies lumber to the manufacturer housing sector, recently announced the opening of a new 10,000-square-foot packaging design and development center at its Georgia facility. Ufp Industries said the new design center will offer new testing services to help its customers. 
The stock could be one to watch with the new center potentially landing bigger deals and keeping customers. The company's ties to the manufactured home sector could also be on watch with the potential for the housing sector to be a theme going forward.

Intuit Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTU#NASDAQ">INTU</a>): The company, which owns TurboTax, QuickBooks and other financial products, saw increased interest from readers over the week. 
Intuit recently reported<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/42123997/intuit-shares-fall-after-q1-results-fy25-guidance-below-estimates"> first-quarter financial results, </a>which saw revenue and earnings per share beat analyst estimates.
While the report beat estimates, investors are becoming concerned about how the company's tax business <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/42073106/whats-going-on-with-intuit-shares-tuesday">could be impacted</a> by the new White House administration. The Department of Government Efficiency, led by Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk, is looking to create a mobile app for Americans to file their taxes. The move, which could see more Americans file their taxes directly, could cut down on dependance for tax software like TurboTax. Intuit shares could fall further as more details of the plan come out.
Intuit stock was down on the week and shares are up 6% year-to-date in 2024.

S&P 500 Moves Higher; Intuit Shares Fall Following Q1 Results

Risk appetite remained robust in the final trading session of the week, with all major U.S. indices poised to close the week in positive territory. Small-cap stocks outperformed their large-cap counterparts, continuing their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/small-cap">recent streak of dominance</a>.
Fresh business surveys highlighted a notable health in the U.S. economy, with private sector activity recording its strongest expansion in over two and a half years. The services sector, in particular, showed remarkable growth, maintaining its rapid pace of expansion.
The Russell 2000, a benchmark for small-cap equities, surged 1.7% on Friday, building on a 1.5% gain from the previous session. The S&amp;P 500 edged higher, heading for a five-day winning streak, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed past the 44,000 mark, moving tantalizingly close to record highs. Technology stocks posted more modest gains.
The U.S. Dollar Index, tracked via the Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>), extended its rally for an eighth consecutive week—the longest streak in 14 months—surpassing the 107 level to hit a two-year high. The dollar's strength was fueled by a mix of robust U.S. economic data <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/24/11/42138717/dollar-hits-2-year-highs-as-europes-recession-signals-spark-euro-pound-sell-offs">and economic malaise in Europe.</a>

Goldman Sachs: Intuit reported better-than-expected results for its fiscal first quarter, with "early progress in Gen-AI," Rangan said in a note. The stock came under pressure on the company's fiscal second-quarter guidance coming in "a bit weaker" than expectations, he added.
The quarterly guidance shortfall is "primarily owing to non-Core Consumer Group desktop offering's promotional activities," pushing revenues from the second quarter to the second half of the year, the analyst stated. Management kept their full-year guidance "largely intact, suggesting that Consumer Group's desktop offering is likely to reaccelerate and has the potential for recapturing earnings leverage in 2H," he further wrote.
Stifel: Intuit generated "solid" quarterly results, highlighted by an acceleration of 360 basis points in QBO (QuickBooks Online) Accounting, Reback said.
The stock sell-off in Thursday's after-hours session was due to the second-quarter guidance, which was "impacted by an acceleration in near-term Tax marketing spending and the decision to push some Tax promotional activity to 3Q," he added.
Being a "clear beneficiary from stronger economic growth (rates and policy)" would allow Intuit to generate durable double-digit growth over coming years, "as up-market, Live and AI initiatives ramp," the analyst wrote.
Oppenheimer: Intuit's Global Business Solutions Group segment generated 9% year-on-year revenue growth, with SB Online Ecosystem growing revenue by 20%, Online Services by 19% and QuickBooks Online Accounting by 21%, Schneeberger said. Credit Karma recorded 29% year-on-year revenue growth, significantly higher than expected, he added.
"Intuit maintained FY25 segment growth guidance at a strong 16%–17% y/y," the analyst wrote. Management maintained full-year total revenue and earnings growth guidance at 12%-13% and 13%-14%, respectively, he further stated.
Piper Sandler: The company reported revenues of $3.28 billion, beating expectations by around $144 million, and earnings of $2.50 per share, 14 cents higher than estimates, Ramnani said. Growth was driven by growth at GBS Online Ecosystem accelerating to 20%, from 18% in the previous quarter, and at Credit Karma accelerating to 29%, versus 14% previously, he added.
Despite the revenue and margin beat, the company reiterated its full-year guidance, the analyst stated. "The company continues to make progress toward the "done for you experiences," which is powered by AI and automation," he further wrote.
Scotiabank: Intuit reported the strongest revenue beat since the first quarter of 2022, Verkhovski said in a note. He added that the company's earnings outperformance was "lower than what we are used to seeing."
The company's earnings were impacted by an earlier-than-usual start to its marketing campaigns for the tax season, the analyst stated. "We believe F2Q guidance coming in below consensus due to quarter-to-quarter shifts is just noise as INTU manages the business at an annual level," he further wrote.
BMO Capital Markets: Intuit generated 10% year-on-year revenue growth, reflecting 4.5% of upside against the mid-point of its guidance, Jester said. Revenues were driven by strong performances by QBO Ecosystem and Credit Karma, he added.
Although QBO ecosystem growth "topped our model by more than a point," some investors were hoping for a larger upside, given the magnitude of the pricing hikes in the business this year, the analyst stated. 
Credit Karma's growth benefited from "both improved supply from lenders and innovation which is supporting newer verticals such as insurance," he further wrote.
RBC Capital Markets: Although Intuit reported "decent" results, some trends "beneath the surface were mixed," Jaluria said. While the company's total revenues came in significantly higher than consensus, this outperformance was led by "lower-quality Credit Karma revenue," he added.
Management guided to second-quarter earnings well below consensus, "primarily driven by the timing of hiring and marketing initiatives pulled forward," the analyst wrote. The company reiterated its full-year guidance across the board, he further stated.
Price Action: Shares of Intuit had declined by 4.62% to $647.33 at the time of publication on Friday.

Xero: All The Makings Of A Long-Term 'Compounder'

The consumer discretionary market is flourishing, driven by cooling inflation, rising income levels, and improving consumer confidence. As consumer spending surges amid holiday shopping, buying top consumer discretionary stocks Amazon.com (AMZN), The TJX Companies (TJX), and Travel + Leisure (TNL) could be ideal. Read more... In the last few months, consumer spending has rapidly increased, fueled by steady economic recovery, easing inflation, supportive government initiatives, and a favorable job market. This rapid rise in consumer spending, especially amid the holiday shopping season, is propelling the consumer discretionary industry's growth.
Given this backdrop, it could be wise to invest in fundamentally strong consumer discretionary stocks Amazon.com, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/AMZN/">AMZN</a>), The TJX Companies, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/TJX/">TJX</a>), and Travel + Leisure Co. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/TNL/">TNL</a>) with significant growth potential.
With positive economic indicators like lower borrowing costs, low unemployment rates, and a steady job market, consumer spending is continuing on its upward trend. A <a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/consumer-packaged-goods/our-insights/the-state-of-the-us-consumer">report by McKinsey</a> showed that the US consumer optimism reached its highest level in the fourth quarter of 2024.
As the U.S. inflation is easing, it is boosting consumers' confidence in the market, allowing them to consider spending on non-essential items. Further, aspects like rising disposable income, online market expansion, and strategic retail discounts and marketing will fuel consumer spending in the ongoing quarter.
Also, amid the holiday season, U.S. retail is expected to surge to unprecedented levels. During November 2024, <a href="https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/retail-sales">U.S. retail sales increased 0.7%</a> from the prior month and above the forecast of 0.5%. In the ongoing holiday shopping season, motor vehicles and part dealers and non-store retailers' sales marked the highest increases of 2.6% and 1.8% in November.
According to Statista, the total value of retail sales during the holiday shopping season is expected to <a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/1189993/holiday-season-retail-sales-value-us/">total $973 billion in 2024</a>, representing a 4.8% increase from the previous year's value of around $929 billion.
With these trends in mind, investors could consider investing in fundamentally sound consumer discretionary stocks: AMZN, TJX, and TNL.
