With shares up more than 333% over the last 12 months, Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR) has been a massive beneficiary of generative artificial intelligence (AI), which many believe could revolutionize how people use and interact with big data.

Palantir (NASDAQ:PLTR) had a topsy-turvy week, yet its upward trajectory remained largely unaffected by the AI chatter surrounding DeepSeek.

Palantir would need to grow into a $6.7 trillion market cap to turn a $25,000 investment into $1 million. This would be its valuation if it grew to 40 times its size today. There isn't even a $4 trillion stock on the market today but in 20 or 30 years, it may be much more common to see stocks trading at these types of valuations.

Palantir's stock is detached from reality as it trades at an irrationally exuberant price. Find out why we have recently opened a short position in PLTR.

Palantir also continues to introduce new products, including a visual navigation AI that can guide autonomous drones in areas without GPS. As a business, Palantir looks solid. It has an impressive set of competitive advantages, given its focus on defense tech and experience in data mining and analytics.
