Atwood & Palmer sold roughly one-third of its remaining stake in Palantir during the third quarter, but the stock remains its largest position.
Palantir's price has more than quadrupled over the last year, so the firm's sale may have been a rebalancing. Whether this rebalancing was forced or not is unknown.
Since late 2023, Atwood & Palmer have reduced the number of Palantir shares they own from 1.2 million to 450 thousand today. With the stock's price spiking from $16 to $182 per share over this time, the firm may not have had a choice but to sell in order to avoid Palantir becoming too large a position in its portfolio.
This is the advantage that Foolish individual investors have over big firms like these.
The firm's current Palantir position is worth $82 million, but it would have been worth $221 million if it had simply held the same amount of shares in the company as it did two years ago.
That said, Palantir now trades at a worrisome (to put it lightly) price-to-sales ratio of 131, so Atwood & Palmer may simply think the stock has gotten too far out over its skis.
There is a lot to like about Palantir. It looks like a true Rule Breaker; it is AI-powered and should have numerous megatrends supporting its operations. However, interested investors should only buy in small portions over time, in my opinion, as it already has years' -- if not a decade's -- worth of growth baked into its valuation.
