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:

Palantir's Gravity-Defying Rally Faces Reckoning As Valuation Reaches Danger Zone

Domain Board unanimously recommended that Domain shareholders vote in favor of the proposed Scheme
CoStar Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSGP#NASDAQ">CSGP</a>), a leading provider of online real estate marketplaces, information, analytics and 3D digital twin technology in the property markets, announced today that it has entered a binding Scheme Implementation Deed (SID) to acquire 100% of the issued capital of Domain Holdings Australia Limited, a leading Australian property marketplace.
In February 2025, CoStar Group acquired approximately 17% of the ordinary shares of Domain at A$4.20 per share for a total purchase price of approximately A$452 million ($285 million). Under the terms of SID, which followed a period of exclusive due diligence, CoStar Group has agreed to pay Domain shareholders a cash consideration of A$4.43 per share, less any special dividend declared or paid by Domain from May 9, 2025, for the balance of the shares by way of a Scheme of Arrangement (Scheme). The consideration to be offered to Domain shareholders values Domain at an implied enterprise value of A$3.0 billion. Accordingly, CoStar Group expects to spend approximately A$2.3 billion ($1.5 billion) to acquire the remaining approximately 83% of the ordinary shares of Domain that it doesn't otherwise own upon consummation of the Scheme.

CoStar Group Enters Binding SID To Acquire 100% Of Issued Capital Of Domain Holdings Australia In A$3 Bln Deal

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.

<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.

Following a nine-month legal battle and facing the prospect of court-imposed sanctions, Move has dismissed its lawsuit with prejudice, bringing the closely watched case to a decisive end
CoStar Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSGP#NASDAQ">CSGP</a>) a leading provider of online real estate marketplaces, information and analytics in the commercial and residential property markets, announced today that it has prevailed in a baseless trade secrets lawsuit brought by Move, Inc., the Rupert Murdoch-owned operator of Realtor.com.
In July 2024, Move filed a federal complaint accusing CoStar Group and former Move employee James Kaminsky of trade secret misappropriation. Move's core allegation—that Kaminsky had been hired by CoStar Group to launch a news division and was using information obtained from his time at Move to support that launch—was demonstrably false. Kaminsky was hired by CoStar Group to write descriptions of New York condominiums for Homes.com, a role he publicly disclosed and discussed with multiple former colleagues at Move.
At the outset, CoStar Group warned Move that it would seek sanctions if Move pursued its meritless claims. In response, Move quickly amended its complaint, deleting the false narrative about a news division and pivoting to a new, equally unfounded theory. When Move later sought a preliminary injunction, the court denied the request in September 2024, citing the speculative nature of Move's allegations, lack of demonstrated harm, and Move's unprecedented refusal to take any discovery – including the decision not to depose Kaminsky or any CoStar Group employees.
Over the following months, CoStar Group pressed Move for evidence and continued to challenge the lawsuit's legitimacy. In March 2025, CoStar Group's legal team notified Move of its intent to seek sanctions. The very next day after the deadline CoStar provided in its notice for Move to dismiss its case, Move filed a motion to delay the proceedings. When CoStar Group responded with a detailed brief highlighting Move's complete lack of evidence, Move abruptly asked CoStar Group if it would consent to the dismissal of Move's entire case against CoStar Group – with prejudice.
