News and Insights
Palantir Technologies has surged nearly 2,000% since ChatGPT's release in November 2022, reaching a $368 billion market cap. While traditional valuation metrics suggest the stock is overvalued compared to peers, the author argues that Palantir's unique AI Platform (AIP) and critical government contracts justify the premium. With 60% annual revenue growth, consistent profitability, and a $10 billion Army contract, investors view the stock as undervalued despite its high multiples.
Ten large-cap stocks experienced significant declines during the week of March 2-6, 2026, driven by weak earnings, lowered guidance, geopolitical tensions, rising yields, and AI-spending concerns. Notable losers include Lumentum Holdings (down 24.65%), Corning (down 21.91%), MongoDB (down 16.23%), and Celsius Holdings (down 17.86%), among others.
Wall Street experienced significant selling pressure on Tuesday as escalating U.S.-Israel-Iran tensions drove crude oil up 6.4% to $75.80/barrel, the sharpest 2-day rally since March 2022. Concerns over potential Strait of Hormuz closure, which handles 20% of global oil flows, triggered broad market declines across all 11 S&P 500 sectors. The VIX surged 6% to 22.74, Treasury yields climbed above 4.10%, and the dollar strengthened, weighing on precious metals and emerging markets.
MongoDB stock plummeted 20.9% despite beating Q4 earnings expectations with $695.1M in revenue and $1.65 adjusted EPS. Investors reacted negatively to softer-than-expected forward guidance, with the company projecting 17% sales growth for the year. The broader market decline and Middle East geopolitical tensions also pressured the stock.
U.S. stock futures fell sharply on Monday following geopolitical tensions with Iran, with the S&P 500, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq 100 all declining. The death of Iran's Supreme Leader and potential continuation of military strikes for weeks dampened market sentiment. Key movers included AMTD Digital surging 20% on strong revenue results, Aardvark Therapeutics plunging 53% after pausing a Phase 3 trial, and MongoDB dropping 2% ahead of earnings.
Legendary trader Stanley Druckenmiller is rotating his portfolio away from big tech and AI stocks toward emerging markets and value plays. His Duquesne Family Office initiated a major $113 million position in Brazil's EWZ ETF with call options, while liquidating stakes in Meta and Arm Holdings. The shift also includes bets on equal-weight U.S. stocks and financial sector ETFs, signaling a move from growth-at-any-price to value-driven, geographically diverse investing.
The article argues that while AI will disrupt certain software segments, companies with network effects, embedded infrastructure, and proprietary data are resilient. Cloudflare, AppLovin, and MongoDB are highlighted as software businesses positioned to benefit from AI rather than be disrupted by it, offering durable growth at attractive valuations following recent market selloffs.
Software stocks have experienced their worst relative selloff on record, with the iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF (IGV) declining 22% over four weeks. Goldman Sachs argues that investor fear around AI disruption has been overdone, creating buying opportunities in four deeply discounted software stocks: MongoDB, Rubrik, Procore, and Nutanix. The bank maintains that platforms owning critical data, orchestration layers, or infrastructure are less likely to be disrupted and more likely to benefit as AI scales.
Palantir Technologies has reinvented itself as an AI-focused enterprise software company, expanding beyond its defense roots into healthcare, financial services, and manufacturing. The company reported impressive 2025 results with 56% revenue growth and $1.6 billion in net income. However, its P/S ratio of 103 is significantly higher than peers, making valuation a concern. The analyst recommends dollar-cost averaging into the stock rather than making a large bet, positioning it as a compelling AI opportunity outside the Magnificent Seven.
