Palantir, Salesforce and Adobe are best avoided amid AI software disruption fears, even as best-of-breed software names. Cult stocks need constant momentum, and once it breaks, valuation, rotation and technical selling hit together, as happened with Tesla. Palantir getting back to $100 was never expected. x.comÂ
SaaS will have its time in the sun again, and now, while it is still hated, is the time to pick favorites and build positions. Bearish sector narratives don't last forever, and the view that all SaaS is being disrupted should ease somewhat this summer, though multiples may not return to prior levels. Some SaaS names have little moat against Anthropic and peers, but many, especially cybersecurity and Palantir, are strengthened by the agentic push. x.com x.com x.comÂ
Palantir's roughly $500B market cap and 80x sales make it prudent to trim exposure despite continued affection for the company. Its tenfold run has already delivered substantial gains, not just the beginning; smaller speculative positions are getting crushed in this environment. x.com x.comÂ
Continued improvement in fundamentals and technicals could carry Palantir to megacap scale. A $1 trillion market cap is a realistic destination for strong growth companies, and Palantir appears on that path, though its timing is uncertain. Drawdowns remain opportunities to accumulate until the thesis changes. x.comÂ
Palantir's downtrend could turn violent as the market chases shiny new sectors and the expensive narrative may still hold. It remains a top watchlist name, but it looks double-edged here, so patience is warranted. x.comÂ
Software stocks face customers shifting budgets to AI infrastructure and cybersecurity while vendors spend more on tokens than planned. IBM said this last week and fell almost 30% in one day, and Pegasystems said the same this morning. That is good reason to be nervous holding ServiceNow into tonight's earnings, though it could surprise to the upside if it avoids the issue. Palantir is the only software name worth owning right now. x.comÂ

The AI bull likely needs months of consolidation at minimum because more AI stocks are under distribution at once than at any point since the bull market began. Leadership passed from Nvidia, from 2023 to late 2024, to Palantir, through late 2025, to Sandisk, which topped in 2026. The AI bull can resume if and when new leaders step up. x.com x.com x.com x.comÂ
Palantir looks stretched again, back at about 69 times sales. Michael Burry added March 2027 Palantir puts after covering half his shorts near $107. A further run to $187-$198 would be the better level to lean bearish, and with software stocks running hot for two weeks, the whole trade may top out for a breather. x.com x.comÂ
Palantir's government and commercial AI demand keeps compounding. Holding through volatility still calls for careful sizing: a 590% gain can turn into a 50% drawdown fast. x.com x.comÂ
Palantir is becoming a crowded trade as one of only a handful of attractive growth stocks, so the unwind could be nasty. x.comÂ
