PALANTIR GOES 'BOMBASTIC', DETHRONES JUGGER BITCOIN SUPERIORITYIt's gone less than a year or so since Palantir stock has joined on Friday, September 20, 2024 Stock Top Club, also known as S&P 500 stock index SPX .
Palantir was one of the strongest contenders for inclusion in the broad market S&P500 Index.
This inclusion, as well as Dell (DELL), came after tech companies Super Micro (SMCI) and Crowdstrike (CRWD) also joined the index earlier in the year 2024.
Since that, Palantir stock became the best (i.e. #1) S&P500 index performer the year 2024 and even in nowadays this Jugger remains 'The Best of The Best' over the whole S&P 500 index, with current +127% YTD return in 2025 (and +697% over the past 12 months), being highlighted at 173.29 USD per share - the new all the history peak reached last Wednesday, August 05, 2025 at regular session close.
What is most important also, nor Federal Reserve (The US Central Bank) hawkish projections on monetary policy in 2025, nor bearish were not able to stop the only game in the city, or even make a pause on Palantir leadership.
Since Palantir stock is rallying, the stalkers remain decently far away, swallowing the galactic dust of Palantir shares.
Judge for yourself.
All the nearest pursuers in 2025 are still under 100% YTD return while Bitcoin BITSTAMP:BTCUSD is traded with modest +21% YTD return in 2025.
What is most important also, Palantir stock was able to outperform S&P500 index within 12 (twelve) straight month in a row.
In human words that means, Palantir stock monthly returns (every single month from June 2024 to May 2025) were better against broad market index.
What is Behind this?
On August 4, 2025 Palantir Technologies has announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.
Palantir reported revenue ahead of Wall Street’s expectations in Q2 CY2025, with sales up 48% year on year to $1.00 billion. On top of that, next quarter’s revenue guidance ($1.09 billion at the midpoint) was surprisingly good and 10.5% above what analysts were expecting. Its non-GAAP profit of $0.16 per share was 15.6% above analysts’ consensus estimates.
“The growth rate of our business has accelerated radically, after years of investment on our part and derision by some. The skeptics are admittedly fewer now, having been defanged and bent into a kind of submission. Yet we see no reason to pause, to relent, here.
It has been a steep and upward climb—an ascent that is a reflection of the remarkable confluence of the arrival of language models, the chips necessary to power them, and our software infrastructure, one that allows organizations to tether the power of artificial intelligence to objects and relationships in the real world,” said Alexander C. Karp, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Palantir Technologies Inc.
Palantir stock Alpha
What is Alpha?
Alpha (a) is a term used in investing to describe an investment's ability to beat (outperform) the market, or its “edge.” Alpha is thus also often referred to as excess return or the abnormal rate of return in relation to a benchmark, or any other asset (even against simple sitting in a cash) when adjusted for risk.
The main graph represents a comparison across Bitcoin and Palantir stocks. Since Palantir outperforms BTC and accelerate right now, so why isn't to continue the play, by staying in a long with Palantir, and finally dethrone "the new oranges" respectively.

ELON MUSK SAYS: BYE-BYE 300-ish, FOR TESLA INVESTORSTesla's stock has recently suffered a sharp decline, dropping nearly 7% in a single day to about $294, marking a significant fall from its December peak of over $488—a plunge of roughly 40% since then. This downturn is largely attributed to growing investor concerns over CEO Elon Musk's increasing political distractions, particularly his announcement to launch a new U.S. political party, the "America Party," which has intensified his public conflict with former President Donald Trump.
Investors fear Musk's political ambitions could divert his focus from Tesla's core business at a critical time when the company is already grappling with challenges. Tesla recently reported its second consecutive quarterly decline in vehicle deliveries, with a 14% drop year-over-year, and sales slumping amid intensifying competition and production issues. Musk's political entanglements have also alienated key consumer bases, especially in Europe and China, where Tesla's sales have sharply fallen while competitors like BYD have surged.
The stock's technical outlook is bleak, with Tesla's price well below its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, signaling sustained bearish momentum. The combination of disappointing sales, a distracted CEO, and deteriorating investor confidence has made Tesla the worst-performing major growth stock this year, eroding over $80 billion in market value in recent sessions.
In previous posts we have already considered short position scenarios (see related ideas), and in Q3-Q4 2025 we are looking at new Elon Louboutins.
The technical main chart reflects the dynamics of the July Call option on Tesla shares -
OPRA:TSLA250718C275.0 TSLA 18 Jul 2025 Call 275, losing the $30 level, which indicates a continuing loss of the 300 level in Tesla shares.

ELON LABUTENES — BEAR SKETCHES. JUNE 2025 AND HALF A YEAR UPSHOTTesla results in June 2025 draw an alarming picture of the future company. In the second quarter, car supplies were sharply reduced by 14% compared to last year, decreasing to 384,122 units from 443,956 earlier - a clear sign of a decrease in demand and increased competition in the electric car market (EM).
Despite the short-term growth of shares after the results, this happened only because the numbers turned out to be less catastrophic than the most pessimistic forecasts, and not because of any real improvement in fundamental indicators.
Fundamentally key problems include:
The obsolescence of the product line: Tesla cars are increasingly considered as outdated, with minimal innovations in the main models. Widely advertised Cybertruck and Robotaxi programs could not provide a significant volume or excitement, and Model S/X updates could not turn back the drop in sales.
Damage to the brand: the polarizing political participation of the Elon Musk pushed a significant part of the client base, which led to the negative perception of the brand and even the loss of incentives in some regions.
Institutional outflow: Large institutional investors reduce their shares, and the share of ownership falls below 50%, which indicates a lack of trust from “smart money”.
The risks of profitability: due to the fall in sales and reduction of prices undermining the margin, the profitability of Tesla is in jeopardy. Analysts warn of compressing margin and potential negative free cash flow if the trends are preserved.
Technical aspects
In the technical plan, Tesla’s shares completed June 2025 on a low note, among looser components of the S&P 500 index, with a demonstrative decrease in the price of the 1st trading session of July without any obvious V-shope recovery in the following two trading sessions.
In previous publications, we have already examined the scenarios of short positions (see related ideas), and in the III - IV quarters of 2025 we look closely at the new Elon lututs.
The technical main schedule reflects the dynamics of the December Call option for Tesla stocks - OPRA:TSLA251219C300.0 TSLA 19 Dec 2025 Call 300
Resume
Looking ahead, Tesla is faced with a difficult situation, with the further risk of a deterioration in the situation, if it cannot revive demand or restore the image of the brand.
