Palantir Technologies(Nasdaq: PLTR) And Tesla(Nasdaq: TSLA) were two of the most popular shares among retail investors last year as measured by net intake. But most Wall Street analysts expect both shares to fall this year.

Among the 52 analysts who follow Tesla, the median target price of $ 278 29% displays the current share price of $ 390. Ryan Brinkman on JPMorgan Chase is special bearish. He has a sales rating and his target price of $ 135 implies 65% disadvantage.
Read on for more information about Palantir and Tesla.
Palantir is a data analysis company recognized by Forrester research When the technology leader in Machine learning And artificial intelligence (AI) software.
Palantir reported exceptional Results in the fourth quarterdefeat estimates on the upper and bottom line. Turnover increased by 36% to $ 828 million, the sixth consecutive sequential gear, and the adjusted net income rose by 75% to $ 0.14 per watered share.
CEO Alex Karp said: “Our operating results continue to be surprised and demonstrate our deeper position in the middle of the AI revolution.” But most Wall Street analysts remain skeptical. The consensus estimate calls for an adjusted income to rise by 17% in the coming four quarters, making the current valuation of 248 times income looks absurd. Brent Thill at Jefferies recently wrote that Palantir “is the most expensive software name.”
However, the company has also converted some pessimists into believers. Morningstar Recently, target price has increased to $ 90, an increase of $ 21 in November 2024. The analyst Mike Giarelli wrote: “Palantir’s outstanding results in the fourth quarter, rapid growth in the middle of the artificial intelligence-weapon race and strategic positioning in the AI value -Chain us further our us our Stolken Basic Case Expectations that this company can be the next software Juggernaut. “
The International Data Corporation, a market researcher, estimates that the expenditure of the AI platform will increase by 41% by 2028. That means that Palantir has compelling growth prospects.
But investors must be careful with the shares at the current appreciation. Although I believe that Palantir will be worth more in the future, perhaps much more, every bad news can cause a sharp decline. That said, I doubt that shares will fall 73%.
The current shareholders who suffer from the possibility of a large correction must reduce their positions, especially if those positions make up a large percentage of their portfolios.
As an alternative, investors who are comfortable with volatility have to lean on dips in stock. For example, consider buying a small position if the share price drops by 10%and buys slightly more if it drops another 10%.
Tesla reported gloomy results in the fourth quarter and missing estimates at the top and bottom lines. Turnover increased by only 2% to $ 26 billion, because the company lost the market share in electric vehicles (EVs), and the operational margin contracted 2 percentage points as the average selling price fell due to price reductions. The adjusted income has risen slightly faster, by 3% to $ 0.73 per watered share, but only because Bitcoin $ 600 million added to the net income.
However, the long -term bull shop remains intact. Tesla is well positioned to earn autonomous driving technology after issuing billions of dollars in the last decade to develop full software and hardware (FSD) software (FSD). The company has more driving data than colleagues such as AlphabetWaymo because the fleet is several times larger and constantly collects information. That gives the company an advantage in training artificial intelligence models.
With that in mind, CEO Elon Musk is convinced that the Robotaxi Services (Autonomous Ride-Sharing) will introduce in Austin, Texas and various other American cities at a certain moment in 2025. That could ultimately be a very large income flow.
Ark Invest thinks that Robotaxis will be a $ 10 trillion market in the early 1930s. So Musk believes that 2025, when it is viewed in retrospect, can be ‘the most important year in the history of Tesla’.
He also sees a market chance of $ 10 trillion in humanoid robots, and he thinks Tesla’s Optimus is the “most advanced humanoid robot through a long shot”. He says that optimus will do useful work in the company’s factories before the end of 2025, and it can start selling the robot to customers at the end of 2026. And Musk believes that it will ultimately be the most valuable product in Tesla.
Wall Street expects the adjusted income to increase by 19% in the next four quarters. That makes the current appreciation of 160 times income outrageously expensive. The share can decrease sharply if Tesla touches speed increases, although I doubt whether shares will fall 65%.
What is even more important, I think Tesla (like Palantir) will be worth more in the future. Patient investors who are comfortable with volatility must therefore look for cans for buying DIP.
