Palantir (PLTR) is a widely followed software infrastructure stock that investors added to ahead of its quarterly results. The stock initially rallied close to $26 before ending last week at $20.60. Why is the stock on sale?
Palantir still has poor valuations at a P/E GAAP of over 170 times, when the sector median is 29.6 times. More worrying is the executive stock-based compensation, which hurts its shareholders. Its revenue growth of 20% Y/Y is not high enough to justify the lofty compensation to the CEO and the executive team.
