Foolish take
Though Global X Japan's sale of Palantir may sound like bad news to the company's shareholders, I don't believe it is a massive deal.
First, the firm only reduced the number of Palantir shares it held by 7% and the stock remains its 9th-largest holding.
Second, Palantir's allocation in Global X Japan's portfolio actually grew from 3.2% to 3.4%, despite this sale. Since the stock's share price rose so dramatically -- quadrupling over the last year and nearly doubling in the last six months -- Palantir's allocation grew in size regardless.
Thanks to this fact, it seems that this might've been nothing more than some rebalancing taking place at the firm, capitalizing on Palantir's nosebleed valuation for a quick profit.
From a Foolish perspective, there is a lot to love about Palantir's business as it looks to be one of the leaders in artificial intelligence. However, it currently trades at 132 times sales, so years (if not a decade) of growth may already be priced into the stock's valuation.
That said, Palantir seems to have the six traits of a rule breaker stock in spades, so it could be argued that this lofty valuation is a feature and not a bug when we consider the stock's potential across a decades-long time horizon.
If you're interested in buying shares at these prices, it might be best to do so in smaller portions of time, rather than all at once today.
