Investors are buying Palantir and Oklo stocks
U.S. stocks are facing pressure due to President Trump's recent protectionist policies. Some long-term investors see this as a chance to buy high-growth stocks at lower prices. Two companies they are focusing on are Palantir Technologies and Oklo. Palantir Technologies offers AI-powered decision-making software. Its stock is down 27% from its peak, but analysts expect its revenue to grow by 58% in the next two years. Palantir uses a unique framework to analyze complex data, which helps both government and commercial clients make better decisions. Despite facing competition and having a high stock price, Palantir's innovative sales approach suggests strong future growth. Oklo is developing advanced nuclear power plants that aim to meet the growing energy needs of AI data centers. The company is down 51% from its 52-week high and is currently not making a profit. However, it targets a large market for clean energy, and has made progress in building its first commercial plant in Idaho. Oklo’s focus on next-generation nuclear technology may position it well in the energy market, although it faces regulatory challenges. Both Palantir and Oklo provide different paths for investors seeking growth. Palantir relies on software, while Oklo focuses on energy infrastructure. While they carry different risks, including high valuations and regulatory hurdles, their potential for growth may attract long-term investors looking for opportunities during market downturns.
