Iron Mountain (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IRM#NYSE">IRM</a>), a global leader in information management services, today provided an update on its recently awarded contract by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The company has commenced work under the award and is actively digitizing documents and leveraging its proprietary intelligent digitization solution as part of the engagement.
Earlier this week the U.S. Department of the Treasury issued a Request for Quotations (RFQ) for a new long-term engagement for digitalization as a service, with an expanded scope and a lengthened contract period of five years. If awarded, this new RFQ would incorporate the work awarded to Iron Mountain in April.
The company welcomes the opportunity to compete for this larger and longer duration contract. Having successfully completed numerous digital transformation projects for the U.S. Government, having been awarded the earlier iteration of this opportunity, and having the benefit of doing the work under its current contract, Iron Mountain believes it is well positioned to provide the U.S. Government with a superior end-to-end solution that can fully support this efficiency initiative.
The company has begun the process of responding to the RFQ and expects to submit its response before the government's July 11, 2025 deadline. In the meantime, we continue to work and be compensated under the initial award given the time criticality of the U.S. Government's requirement.
As previously disclosed, the company has not included any benefit from the Department of Treasury award in its 2025 financial guidance.

Jim Cramer Is 'OK' With Harrow, Recommends Buying This Energy Stock

Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) has emerged as the brightest star of the S&amp;P 500 over the past year, but its meteoric rise — up 440% in twelve months and 53% year-to-date through May 9 — is now confronting a valuation wall that even the hardest bulls <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/expert-ideas">are struggling to justify.</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Is Palantir Trading At Bubble-Like Valuations: How High Is Too High?</h3>
With shares closing at $115 on Friday and peaking at a record $125 this week, Palantir is now trading at 500 times trailing twelve-month earnings, an outlier among all companies in the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100. 
That's nearly triple the valuation of most AI-linked stocks and more than 14 times higher than tech heavyweights like Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>), which trade at price-to-earnings ratios of 37x and 32x, respectively.
While many would argue that Palantir is a bet on the future rather than the past, even when factoring in projected earnings, the valuation picture remains extreme.
Palantir trades 190 times forward earnings, raising red flags that the price has disconnected from even the most optimistic projections.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Bullish Case Still Has A Pulse</h3>
Despite this, investor enthusiasm remains sky-high. The company's ability to secure lucrative defense contracts and its reputation as an artificial intelligence leader has driven continued demand for the stock, even during broader market corrections.
Palantir notably held its ground during the April selloff triggered by the Donald Trump&#8216;s tariff escalation, never breaching its 200-day moving average.
Larry Tentarelli, Chief Technical Strategist at Blue Chip Daily Trend Report, said Palantir &#8220;remains our top-ranked technology sector stock,&#8221; citing its technical strength and AI leadership.
Tentarelli said the recent earnings quarter confirmed their view and suggested any consolidation in the $100–$110 range could offer a new buying opportunity. &#8220;We view this stock as a buy here or on pullbacks,&#8221; he said.
His firm maintains a long position and sees Palantir as dominant in its niche government and commercial AI applications.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Palantir&#8217;s Analyst Consensus: Caution Ahead</h3>
Out of 25 accredited analysts covering the stock, only one rates it a &#8216;Strong Buy&#8217; and just three rate it &#8216;Buy&#8217;. The overwhelming consensus is to &#8216;Hold&#8217;, with the median price target 18% below current levels.
Goldman Sachs&#8217; analyst Gabriela Borges, CFA maintained a &#8216;Neutral&#8217; rating this week and raised her 12-month price target to $90, still 22% below the current price.
&#8220;Our positive view of Palantir&#8217;s growth is balanced by longer-term ecosystem risks – the industry moving from peak custom to more off-the-shelf adoption – and the stock&#8217;s premium valuation,&#8221; Borges said.
She highlighted Palantir&#8217;s enterprise value-to-sales multiple at 81x, far exceeding the sector average of 12x, and its growth-adjusted EV/sales ratio (the so-called Rule of 40) at 0.97x, compared to just 0.28x for comparable software companies growing 20% or more.
While fundamentals are struggling to keep pace with price momentum, Palantir's rally shows no immediate signs of collapse. Still, unless earnings growth or profitability scales up dramatically, the company may be heading toward a painful reckoning. Read now:

Preview: Iron Mountain's Earnings

Iron Mountain's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IRM#NYSE">IRM</a>) short percent of float has risen 11.61% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 9.66 million shares sold short, which is 3.94% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 5.41 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Iron Mountain has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Iron Mountain's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Iron Mountain's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.97%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

The latest market downturn has left many investors questioning whether this is a temporary dip or the beginning of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">a prolonged bear market.</a>
Yet, an eye-opening indicator suggests that opportunities may be more abundant than feared—95% of S&amp;P 500 stocks currently hold a median analyst price target above their latest trading price, signaling significant upside potential across the board.
Notably, two Magnificent Seven stocks—Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)—rank among the top when comparing the gap between Wall Street&#8217;s median price target and current prices, a quite uncommon event for tech giants that traditionally trade at valuation premiums.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Is This A Market Bottom Or A Value Trap?</h3>
The S&amp;P 500 officially entered correction territory last week, leaving investors to wonder whether the worst is over or if further downside awaits.
Ed Yardeni, president of Yardeni Research, has been one of the more bullish voices on Wall Street. Last week, he raised his probability of a bearish scenario from 20% to 35%. That forecast includes the possibility of a recession or stagflation—a combination of stagnant growth and inflation.
Yardeni also acknowledged the possibility that a bear market may have begun on Feb. 20, the day after the S&amp;P 500 reached a record high. This shift in sentiment led him to lower his year-end 2025 S&amp;P 500 target from 7,000 to 6,400.
From a technical standpoint, only 41% of S&amp;P 500 stocks are trading above their 200-day moving average, signaling that most have fallen below a key trend support level, potentially confirming a bearish phase.
Yet, long-term market data provides a reason for optimism. 
Jeffrey Buchbinder, chief equity strategist at LPL Financial, points out that market corrections—defined as a decline of 10% or more—occur every 1.1 years on average, dating back to 1928. 
&#8220;Corrections also tend to produce attractive buying opportunities&#8221;
Since 1950, the S&amp;P 500 has experienced an average intra-year drawdown of a negative 13.7%, yet it has still managed to post an average annual gain of 9.5%, with 73% of those years ending in positive territory. 
Even in years when the index experienced an intra-year decline of 10% to 20%, the average annual return was still 8.4%, with 64% of those years finishing higher.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Which Stocks Have The Biggest Upside?</h3>
Based on current analyst price targets, several stocks stand out for their potential gains. 
Deckers Outdoor Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DECK#NYSE">DECK</a>) leads the list, with a median price target nearly 95% higher than its last price. First Solar Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>) follows closely, with a projected upside of 93%.
Notably, Tesla and Nvidia, two of the most closely watched growth stocks, also rank high on the list. Analysts see Tesla's price target at $371.50, representing a 64.9% upside, while Nvidia's median price target sits at $175, implying a 51.6% gain from current levels.
Other stocks with significant upside potential include:
<ul>
<li>Caesars Entertainment Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CZR#NASDAQ">CZR</a>) &#8211; 81.4% potential upside</li>
<li>Western Digital Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WDC#NASDAQ">WDC</a>) &#8211; 80.4% potential upside</li>
<li>United Airlines Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) &#8211; 80.2% potential upside</li>
<li>Delta Air Lines Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) &#8211; 72.0% potential upside</li>

Analysts See Upside For 95% Of S&P 500 Stocks: How Nvidia, Tesla Stack Up

Iron Mountain's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IRM#NYSE">IRM</a>) short percent of float has risen 4.24% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 9.03 million shares sold short, which is 3.69% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.25 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Iron Mountain has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Iron Mountain's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Iron Mountain's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.77%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">If You Bought Iron Mountain Stock 10 Years Ago</h2>
The company's stock traded at approximately $36.28 per share 10 years ago. If you had invested $10,000, you could have bought roughly 276 shares. Currently, shares trade at $88.31, meaning your investment's value could have grown to $24,341 from stock price appreciation alone. However, Iron Mountain also paid dividends during these 10 years.&nbsp;
Iron Mountain's dividend yield is currently 3.56%. Over the last 10 years, it has paid about $24.45 in dividends per share, which means you could have made $6,739 from dividends alone.&nbsp;
Summing up $24,341 and $6,739, we end up with the final value of your investment, which is $31,080. This is how much you could have made if you had invested $10,000 in Iron Mountain stock 10 years ago. This means a total return of 210.8%. However, this figure is still less than the S&amp;P 500 total return for the same period, which was 219.91%.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Could The Next 10 Years Bring?&nbsp;</h2>
Iron Mountain has a consensus rating of "Overweight" and a price target of $109.5 based on the ratings of eight analysts. The price target implies a nearly 24% potential upside from the current stock price.
On Feb. 13, the company announced its Q4 2024 earnings, posting revenues of $1.58 billion, slightly missing the street view of $1.60 billion, as reported by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43691982/iron-mountain-q4-earnings-storage-and-data-center-revenue-growth-dividend-climbs-10-strong-2025-outlook">Benzinga.</a>&nbsp;
Total reported revenues (excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange) increased 11.4% compared to the prior year. This was driven by an 8.8% increase in storage rental revenue and a 17.2% increase in service revenue.

Iron Mountain expects full-year 2025 revenues in the range of $6.65 billion to $6.80 billion, compared to the consensus estimate of $6.77 billion.
Given the expected upside potential of 24%, growth-focused investors may find Iron Mountain stock attractive. Furthermore, they can benefit from the company's solid dividend yield of 3.56%.

If You Invested $10K In Iron Mountain Stock 10 Years Ago, How Much Would You Have Now?

Financial markets have been volatile since President&nbsp;Donald Trump&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41768178/donald-trump-defeats-kamala-harris-to-win-2024-election">election on Nov. 5, 2024</a>, and subsequent inauguration. Which companies have surged under the new administration and which have struggled?
Best Performers: Six companies in the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) have returned over 30% since Nov. 5, 2024, according to data <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">from Benzinga Pro.</a>
Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) leads the pack, rocketing up 59.91% from $51.13 to $81.76. The Denver, Colorado-based company&#8217;s annualized return is over 184%. The retail investor darling has capitalized on AI trends and CEO Alex Karp&#8217;s support for Elon Musk&#8217;s government efficiency efforts, which he defended as a push to eliminate <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43806845/palantir-ceo-alex-karp-backs-elon-musks-government-efficiency-efforts-calls-him-most-important-builder">fraud, waste, and abuse.</a>
According to Benzinga Edge, the company has momentum on its side, scoring a very high 99 out of 100, though it lags on key valuation metrics, indicating the stock could be overvalued.

Worst Performers: Several other S&amp;P 500 companies have fared much worse since Trump prevailed in the November election.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>), a manufacturer of solar panels, has seen its stock decline amid concerns about Trump&#8217;s support for fossil fuels. The Tempe, Arizona-based company&#8217;s shares have sunk 36.41% since Nov. 5, 2024.
