<img alt="price to book PB ratio ratio compare stock price valuation with company real assets book value or equity vector" class="article-image-one" src="https://www.marketbeat.com/logos/articles/med_20250226103542_3-stocks-with-triple-digit-pes-that-are-still-wort.jpg" style="height:515px; width:1200px" />
The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is one of the most commonly used metrics to determine whether a stock is expensive or cheap. Generally, the higher the P/E ratio, the more expensive a stock is relative to its earnings. But in times of risk-on sentiment, investors tend to overlook sky-high P/E ratios, betting on growth potential and momentum instead.
However, when sentiment shifts more defensively, stocks with triple-digit P/Es often get hit the hardest. That&#39;s exactly what&#39;s happening right now with <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/PLTR/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Palantir Technologies Inc (NASDAQ: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pltr#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>), <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/TSLA/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tsla#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), and <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/AVGO/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/avgo#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>). Each of <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/sectors/computer-and-technology/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">these tech giants</a> has a P/E well over 100 and is currently seeing a decent amount of selling pressure.
However, sometimes steep declines create attractive entry opportunities for those willing to bet on the long-term story. Let&#39;s take a closer look at why each of these three stocks could be setting up for a bounce in March.
<h2>PLTR: A 30% Pullback But Still Holding February&#39;s Gains</h2>
[content-module:Forecast|NASDAQ:PLTR]
Palantir has had a wild ride this month. After hitting a record high earlier in February, the <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/originals/palantir-stock-nears-bear-market-territory-why-and-whats-next/">stock has since tumbled nearly 30%</a>, giving back a large chunk of its recent gains.
Much of the selling pressure stems from concerns about potential U.S. defense spending cuts, which could impact Palantir&#39;s government contracts. And with a P/E ratio of 480, the stock is undoubtedly one of the most expensive on the market.
However, it&#39;s worth noting that Palantir crushed analyst expectations in its early February earnings report, proving that its business momentum remains strong. Additionally, analysts remain bullish, with Loop Capital issuing a Buy rating last week and <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/PLTR/forecast/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">a $141 price target</a>, which points to a targeted upside of more than 50%. If sentiment stabilizes and buyers step back in, Palantir could quickly reclaim lost ground and push higher into March.
<h2>TSLA: A High-Priced Stock That&#39;s Becoming Oversold</h2>
[content-module:Forecast|NASDAQ:TSLA]
Tesla is no stranger to high valuations, but with a P/E of 162, it trades 27 times higher than <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSE/F/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Ford Motor Co (NYSE: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/f#NYSE">F</a>). Given that the stock has been selling off for many weeks now, this comparison clearly does not sit well with many investors.
Since peaking in December, <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/originals/tesla-just-shook-the-marketwill-it-crash-or-soar-next/">Tesla has since fallen 30%</a>, dragged down by <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/TSLA/earnings/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">a weak earnings report</a> in late January that added to valuation concerns. When a stock already trades at a high multiple and then disappoints on earnings, Wall Street tends to react aggressively, which is exactly what we&#39;re seeing now.
However, Tesla may be approaching a turning point. Its RSI reading is 32, which suggests the stock is nearing extremely oversold territory. If it drops just a bit further, it could soon trigger a technical bounce, if not a full recovery rally. For investors willing to look past the valuation concerns and focus on Tesla&#39;s long-term growth story, this pullback could offer an attractive entry point before momentum shifts again.
<h2>AVGO: A 20% Pullback With a Big Catalyst Ahead</h2>
[content-module:Forecast|NASDAQ:AVGO]
Broadcom&#39;s stock price has dropped nearly 20% since December&#39;s high, including a sharp 10% decline over the past three sessions alone.
At a P/E of 161, Broadcom looks far more expensive than key semiconductor peers like <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/NVDA/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nvda#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) with its P/E of 51, and <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/QCOM/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Qualcomm Inc (NASDAQ: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/qcom#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) with its P/E of 17, making it a prime target for valuation-based selling.
But there&#39;s one major reason to keep an eye on Broadcom - its track record of delivering strong earnings. Next week&#39;s Q1 earnings report could be a key catalyst that reverses the stock&#39;s recent slide. Adding to the bullish case, Morgan Stanley recently <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/AVGO/forecast/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">issued an Overweight rating</a> and a $246 price target, suggesting a nearly 20% upside from Monday&#39;s closing price of $207.
If Broadcom delivers solid numbers next week, expect the stock to bounce sharply off its recent lows as investors refocus on its long-term strength rather than its high valuation.
<h2>Final Thoughts</h2>
Triple-digit P/E stocks are often the first to sell off when sentiment shifts defensive, but they can also be the first to bounce back once the dust settles.
Palantir&#39;s recent pullback may be overdone, Tesla is nearing oversold conditions, and Broadcom has a major earnings catalyst ahead. For investors willing to weather the short-term volatility, these three stocks could be setting up for strong moves in March.

The struggling chipmaker&#8217;s financial issues have prompted it to delay the construction of its $28 billion semiconductor project in central Ohio for the&nbsp;second time in 2025, TechCrunch <a target="_blank" href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/02/28/intel-delays-its-ohio-chip-factory-to-2030/" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.

The factory, one of two Intel plans to build in Ohio, was initially likely to begin operating in 2025. Intel might not likely be able to complete constructing the first factory in New Albany until 2030, Reuters reports. Reportedly, Intel has invested $3.7 billion locally.

Following SoundHound AI&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOUN#NASDAQ">SOUN</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/44026393/soundhound-ai-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-raised-guidance-heading-into-era-of-agentic-ai">earnings beat</a>, Benzinga caught up with its founder and CEO, Keyvan Mohajer, to discuss the latest developments and plans for 2025.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">BZ: You have added so many brands under your umbrella. As a scientist who has worked on this technology for over two decades, how does it feel to see it in real life?</h2>
Mohajer: It is incredibly rewarding to see the technology we have worked on for decades come to life across so many major brands and industries. SoundHound started 20 years ago in a Stanford dorm room. In the early days, someone told me the second reason startups fail is because they build something no one wants (the first reason is that they run out of money). SoundHound has come a long way.
Today, our voice AI powers hundreds of global enterprise brands, thousands of restaurant and retail locations, and millions of vehicles and devices – but this is only the beginning. Our mission is to voice-enable the world with conversational intelligence.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">BZ: Can you recall the moment when you saw SoundHound's tech used in public for the first time?</h2>
Mohajer: We had quite a few of those in the earlier days. But the one I want to share is when one of our<a href="https://youtu.be/M1ONXea0mXg?si=DGn42pRZecMAG92h"> internal demos</a> went viral back in 2015. We had worked for 10 years in stealth to build it, so seeing how much people cared about it was meaningful and rewarding. It got millions of views and was the #1 post on Reddit with the title, "This is insane." It is important to note how much ahead of others we were. This was 10 years ago, before large language models (LLMs). We have continued to maintain our leadership in technology and innovation and are very proud of it.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">BZ: You recently unveiled its Brand Personalities feature. Could you tell us the initial feedback from the partners?</h2>
Mohajer: Our customers choose us, among other things, because we give them the best technology under their brand, and we let them differentiate, innovate, and customize. Our SoundHound Chat AI Brand Personality feature takes this to a new level. It gives automakers full control over their voice assistant's personality, including response style, character, and energy, to enhance user experience and brand loyalty. Since launching in January, the response from partners and prospects has been overwhelmingly positive.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">BZ: You have major partnerships with automakers and quick-service restaurants. Are there any new verticals you're actively exploring, and how do you determine which industries align best with your voice AI capabilities?</h2>
Mohajer: We believe every industry will need voice AI. Our business is built on two key predictions: first, that users will choose voice as their preferred method of interacting with technology, and second, that AI-powered customer service will be as necessary for every business as WiFi and electricity.&nbsp;&nbsp;
SoundHound provides solutions for both, offering branded AI assistants for products and AI customer service for businesses. While we have strong partnerships in automotive and quick service restaurants, we are also expanding into retail, healthcare, financial services, and beyond. Our largest deal in Q4 2024 was in energy, marking a major step into a new industry added to our portfolio. Because of our proprietary technology, we can extend into any sector, scaling our solutions to benefit both customers and employees. I like to say that restaurants are to SoundHound what books were to Amazon — we are just getting started. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">BZ: Can we expect significant product enhancements or new AI-driven capabilities in 2025?</h2>
Mohajer: One of the innovations we're most excited about is our newly unveiled voice commerce ecosystem. SoundHound has pioneered this vision for years, and the concept is simple yet powerful. As mentioned, we provide AI assistants for products and AI customer service for businesses. Now, we're combining them, allowing users of products powered by our voice assistant to seamlessly transact with businesses using our AI customer service solution.
At CES, we demonstrated this end-to-end experience with a driver discovering food options and placing an order through their in-vehicle voice assistant using natural speech. This ecosystem benefits everyone: it enhances convenience and safety for users, drives new leads for merchants, and creates a monetizable opportunity for SoundHound, with revenue-sharing potential for OEMs.
Beyond voice commerce, we're also at the forefront of the agentic AI revolution. We believe the world is transforming from an ecosystem of APIs to an ecosystem of AI Agents. As a pure-play AI software company with deep expertise in voice and conversational AI and enterprise-grade solutions, we are uniquely positioned to lead this next wave of innovation. This is an inevitable evolution in AI functionality for our customers, adding a new dimension to our existing capabilities and impact, and we're excited to bring our solutions to market soon.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">BZ: Artificial Intelligence has been the leading force in this market cycle, often causing significant volatility. Recently, your stock dropped owing to Nvidia&#8217;s divestment, yet the public might have overlooked that they held only a minor stake. Do you believe the irrational exuberance of AI is behind us?</h2>
Mohajer: Regardless of short-term volatility, our long-term vision remains focused on delivering real-world AI solutions that drive value across industries. The AI market is evolving, moving from hype to practical adoptions, and we are seeing increasing demand for our solutions – moving from an exploration in an innovation budget to a corporate mandate.&nbsp;
As for Nvidia, they have been a great partner, and our collaboration remains strong. We worked together at CES with a joint demo in our booth, and we're excited to showcase more of our work together at GTC next month in San Jose.

J.P. Morgan analyst Matthew R. Boss reiterated an <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GOLF/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Underweight rating </a>on the shares of Acushnet Holdings Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOLF#NYSE">GOLF</a>) with a price forecast of $64.00.
GOLF posted an <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/b44001386/acushnet-holdings-corp-announces-full-year-and-fourth-quarter-2024-financial-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">adjusted EBITDA of $12 million</a> for the fourth quarter, aligning closely with consensus estimates.
The analyst noted that the revenue growth of 7.8% fell short of the Street&#8217;s +9.9% expectations but was partially offset by a 300 basis point improvement in gross margin.
The analyst highlighted that the management provided FY25 adjusted EBITDA guidance of $405 million &#8211; 420 million (compared to the Street&#8217;s $412 million), expecting sales growth of 1.1% &#8211; 3.2% year-over-year, which is below the Street&#8217;s forecast of 3.8%, with modest gross margin growth offset by SG&amp;A leverage.
According to the analyst, in the near term, first-quarter sales are projected to decrease year-over-year due to several factors: the Pro V1/V1X launch expected to be more concentrated in the second quarter, tougher year-over-year comparisons in the first quarter, and foreign exchange headwind.

By segment, management indicated that growth in the golf ball category is expected to be front-loaded in the first half, driven by the Pro V1/V1X launch, while growth in golf clubs is anticipated to be back-loaded in the second half due to the introduction of new irons.
The analyst models first quarter FY25 reported sales to decline 3.1% y/y, 700 basis points below the Street at 3.9% growth.
Crucially, management highlighted that the adjusted EBITDA outlook accounts for the anticipated negative effects of foreign exchange but excludes the impact of recently imposed tariffs.
With GOLF sourcing 6% of its cost of goods sold from China and having limited exposure to Mexico and Canada, the 10% additional tariff on China is expected to create a $7 million headwind, which is not yet reflected in the guidance, the analyst quipped.
The analyst sees downside based on the valuation multiple and the 2026 EBITDA projection, which suggests that the shares are overpriced compared to their current trading levels.
For the next few years, the analyst views GOLF&#8217;s opex investment cycle as a limitation to bottom-line growth, leading to flat EBITDA and low single-digit earnings per share growth, despite having &#8220;best-in-class&#8221; brands like Titleist and FootJoy, which hold leading market shares and target the &#8220;dedicated&#8221; golfer.
Price Action: GOLF shares are trading lower by 1.62% at $63.83 at last check Friday.

Recently, U.S. President Donald Trump&#8217;s export policy leader nominee, Jeffrey Kessler, highlighted concerns to Reuters over reports citing Taiwan Semiconductor-produced chips that went to China&#8217;s Huawei.
Kessler emphasized the Commerce Department&#8217;s Bureau of Industry and Security&#8217;s use of stricter penalties in cases of regulatory violations.

Washington restricted erstwhile smartphone giant Huawei&#8217;s exposure to advanced semiconductor technology in 2019, citing national security threats.
In October, a Canadian tech research firm, TechInsights, reportedly found a banned Taiwan Semiconductor chip in Huawei&#8217;s 910B AI processor.
Taiwan Semiconductor and Huawei professed their compliance with regulatory policies. Additionally, Taiwan Semiconductor suspended shipments to China-based chip designer Sophgo; shortly after, the U.S. imposed sanctions on Taiwan Semiconductor chip shipments to Chinese customers.
China <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/02/44013241/taiwan-semiconductor-faces-government-scrutiny-on-overseas-ventures-amid-intel-stake-rumors" rel="noreferrer noopener">verbally attacked Taiwan</a> for surrendering its semiconductor industry to the U.S. for political support against China as Taiwan&#8217;s government relies on U.S. military support despite any defense treaty.
