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:

Wall Street traded lower on the final session of the month, heading for its third consecutive monthly loss as economic data began reflecting the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">impact of Trump tariffs.</a>
U.S. GDP shrank by 0.3% in the last quarter, marking the first economic contraction since 2022 and missing forecasts for a 0.4% expansion. The decline was driven by a surge in imports and reduced government spending.
Labor market data also disappointed. The ADP National Employment Report showed private employers added just 62,000 jobs in April—the weakest gain in nine months and well below the expected 108,000.
By midday in New York, the S&amp;P 500 was down 1% to 5,500, on pace to end a six-day winning streak. Tech stocks in the Nasdaq 100 lagged ahead of earnings from industry titans Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>) and Meta Platforms Inc.
Nine of the S&amp;P 500's eleven sectors were in the red, with only consumer staples and health care posting modest gains. Energy and consumer discretionary led the losses, falling 3.3% and 2.7%, respectively.
Commodities were broadly lower. Oil tumbled 3.7% to $58 a barrel, approaching its lowest close since March 2021. Copper—often seen as a gauge of global growth—plunged 5.2% to $4.60 per pound. Natural gas declined 2.5% to $3.17 per million British thermal units.
Bond markets were steady, with the 10-year Treasury yield hovering at 4.17%. Gold dipped 0.3% to $3,330 per ounce, while the U.S. dollar index (DXY) strengthened by the same margin.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) showed resilience, holding steady at around $93,000 despite broader market weakness.

Earnings Scheduled For April 30, 2025

Ventas's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTR#NYSE">VTR</a>) short percent of float has fallen 45.71% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 8.00 million shares sold short, which is 2.15% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.05 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.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744988430_0.png" alt="short_fig" />

<h3>Ventas P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of 107.39 in the Helath Care REITs industry, Ventas Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of 357.74. Shareholders might be inclined to think that Ventas Inc. might perform better than its industry group. It's also possible that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1743195619_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

<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.
