PLTR   Seeking Alpha — February 09, 2025

While being the most expensive SaaS business in the market, there's a plausible narrative that Palantir may be fairly valued at a mere 30% revenue CAGR. Q4 2024 results give confidence to prior concerns of lacking customer count growth, which is a core driver of the scalability of the business.

The Ivy Portfolio allocates 20% each to domestic stocks, international stocks, intermediate bonds, commodities, and REITs, mimicking Harvard and Yale endowments. REITs offer high returns, low correlation with stocks, and psychological benefits, but they crash with markets and are tax inefficient.
