After Soaring by 80% During the First Half of 2025, Could This Unstoppable Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stock Be Wall Street's Next Stock-Split Candidate?

Group 1 - Palantir Technologies was the top-performing stock in both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 during the first half of 2025, with shares increasing by 80% [1] - The S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 indexes generated total returns of 6% and 8%, respectively, during the same period [1] Group 2 - There is speculation among investors about whether Palantir could be a candidate for a stock split due to its rising share price [2] - Stock splits are often considered when a company's share price has significantly increased, making the stock appear expensive [5][11] Group 3 - Palantir's price-to-sales (P/S) ratio is currently at 110, which has tripled over the past year, indicating that the stock is relatively expensive compared to peers [9] - Following a stock split, the perception of the stock price may lead to increased buying from new investors, despite the market capitalization remaining unchanged [12] Group 4 - A stock split could potentially lead to a situation where the stock becomes even more expensive post-split, as institutional investors may choose to reduce their positions [13][14] - Performing a stock split may not be a logical move for Palantir at this time, given the current valuation multiples and market dynamics [14]
