Up 200k YTD

Hi dear readers,

Hope you been doing well. I am down to my last week or so of my sabbatical. Can make a guess where I am when looking at the last photo haha..

Having some down time again and wanted to talk about pltr results. It was a blockbuster set of results, and I can’t seem to find any flaws even when I try to look for it. As what I expected, it is slowly growing into its valuation and with the results and projected trajectory of growth, the near future looks promising if it continues on this path. 1 metric to look out for is the rule of 40, which pltr attained 94!

With that set of results pushing up pltr prices, it has also helped me to hit a milestone - 200k profits YTD, I know it’s unrealised and it may still fluctuate below that in the coming days but I just wanted to celebrate this milestone haha.

Photo 3 will show my performance vis a vis the Nasdaq index, am outperforming it by around 48% which I am quite satisfied.

Photos 4 and 5 will show my current holdings in terms of both quantities and average prices. The only issue of my current portfolio is Lululemon, didn’t expect it to drop so much lol..so will need to rescue it when I am back to work zzz

As Karp aptly puts it - “We’re very proud and we’re sorry that our haters are disappointed, but there are many more quarters to be disappointed, and we’re working on that too”😂 this guy is savage haha

Stay safe and make hay while the sun shines!

... Read morePalantir Technologies (PLTR) has recently posted impressive quarterly results that have captured investor attention and significantly influenced portfolio performance. One key highlight is the company attaining a Rule of 40 score of 94, a critical metric that evaluates a balance between growth and profitability in SaaS and tech companies. The Rule of 40 states that the combined percentage of revenue growth rate and profit margin should be at least 40%. Palantir’s score of 94 exemplifies exceptional operational and financial performance. This strong showing has contributed to substantial portfolio gains, with a year-to-date (YTD) profit surpassing $200,000, reflecting approximately 57% return on investment based on the data provided. Notably, the portfolio also outperforms the Nasdaq Composite Index by around 48%, underscoring effective stock selection and timing. Portfolios such as this often include a diverse mix of technology holdings, ranging from Palantir to other prominent names like SoFi, Alphabet, Alibaba, Tesla, Sea, Nvidia, Apple, CrowdStrike, and Lululemon. Despite the overall success, certain positions such as Lululemon have underperformed recently — a reminder that diversification and active management are essential. Reassessing and potentially adjusting positions when markets fluctuate helps in managing downside risk. Investors tracking PLTR’s trajectory should consider not only headline profits or stock price appreciation but also fundamental indicators such as free cash flow, customer growth, and recurring revenue stability. Palantir’s innovative data analytics platforms continue showing promise for scalability and expanding adoption across government and commercial sectors. Additionally, staying updated on the broader macroeconomic environment and technology sector trends can help investors make informed decisions. With the combination of stellar financial results, strong operational metrics, and effective portfolio management, investors may find opportunities to enhance returns while managing risks prudently. In summary, celebrating portfolio milestones is important, but maintaining vigilance and a strategic approach to portfolio allocation alongside ongoing analysis of companies like Palantir paves the way for sustained financial growth.
