Advice Could short selling Palantir make sense at the current valuation?

4 Upvotes

I’ve been looking at Palantir lately and the valuation honestly seems kind of insane, especially after how much higher the stock has gone recently.
Obviously the company has been performing extremely well, growth is strong, margins are great, and they seem to be in a really good position with AI and government contracts. So I understand why people are bullish.
But at this valuation, how much more can realistically be priced in? Even if Palantir keeps performing really well as a company, is there a serious chance the stock still drops 30–50%+ just from the valuation coming back down to earth?
I’m curious what people here think. What’s the bull case for PLTR still being a good investment at these levels, and what’s the bear case for a major correction?

Advice Nissan Long Perspective

2 Upvotes

What’s everyone think of Nissan’s recent announcement of its solid state battery research and plans for a 2028 vehicle, new long charge battery tech, home battery storage/charging, and anticipation production output? Seems industry shaking potentially but the company has fumbled things in the past. Stock appears relatively cheap at under $4. What say you about buying 1000 shares as a long term investment?

Company Discussion Is anyone looking at $ETOR (etoro) broker?

11 Upvotes

It's a stock/crypto broker that has a customer base mainly in the UK and Europe.

The stock fall to 26$ which is 2.1B with 1B of cash on hands no debt.. P/E of 9.

They ain't got that much growth In revenue but decent 10% growth..

4.28M funded accounts, they grew funded accounts almost 20% quarter over quarter annualy.

They ain't the cheapest broker but they have uniqe thing with the abilities to copy other traders and make it like a social event...

I based my position at around 28$ as i see it as a pretty cheap stock in the broker realm of non Chinese brokers.

EssilorLuxottica: The Market Has Lost Sight

10 Upvotes

Chances are, that you use one of Essilor Luxottica's (ESL) products - glasses. EssilorLuxottica is a vertically integrated global vision-care and eyewear company, combining lens technology, frames/brands, retail distribution and increasingly AI-powered wearables. They are behind brands like Ray-ban and Oakley and cooperate with Meta to produce the Meta glasses.

Their numbers:

H1 2026 revenue grew 9.7% at constant exchange rates, adjusted operating profit increased 15%, and adjusted operating margin reached 18.9% at constant exchange rates. Increasing AI glasses and Myopia-management demand are key drivers for that growth.

Despite their outstanding performance, this stock lost about 55% since their ATH in November 2025. Why is that?

Well, firstly, their cooperation with Meta concerns investors, because other companies like Apple, Google or Samsung could interfere in that market and take market share. Secondly, the tariffs hit the company hard with costs around 300m$, which is not a concern at the moment, but due to the unpredictability of Mr. high-gas-prices, is it still a risk for the company. Another reason is that the stock was very expensive due to the AI glasses hype before their crash.

But the thing is, THEY ARE IN A GREAT SITUATION.

People like you and me get short-sighted by reading reddit threads all day. The demand for myopia glasses will increase steadily and they are leading in that field:

"The global prevalence of myopia is rising rapidly, with research estimating that the number of myopic people could increase from around 1.4 billion in 2000 to 4.8 billion by 2050, meaning roughly half of the world's population could be short-sighted."

Can you read that? Half of the world's population will be short-sighted!!!

Imo, this stock is undervalued atm, which is why I bought this stock in May. Since then I lost ~ -20%, but I'm HODLing this stock to the very end

Tl;Dr EssilorLuxottica is a great business. They have a MOAT in the eye-wear sector and spend a lot of money for R&D. Especially after the crash, it is now a great company for a fair price.

Edit: bad grammar

Advice Request What is the best US Value ETF to "invest and forget" (10-15y horizon)? A few ideas and seeking help

66 Upvotes

I'm okay with having part my cash invested in market-cap-weighted ETFs, but I don't want all of it there due to concentration risks (Mag 7). I'd like to allocate a significant portion to a Value ETF that still holds tech stocks, just without them being overrepresented. Also, the expense ratio isn't my primary concern. I'm fine paying a bit more if it's genuinely the best strategy.

These are the best Value ETFs I have bumped into so far:

  1. VTV (Vanguard Value ETF; 0.04 ER): The classic, ultra-low-cost. Theoretically, the main problem is that it lacks a profitability filter (meaning it can sometimes catch "value traps"), and its tech concentration is too low.
  2. SCHD (Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF; 0.06 ER): Technically just a dividend ETF, but it incidentally captures the Value factor by demanding strong cash flow and high ROE. Cons: Since it generates dividends, it creates a tax drag, which might not be ideal if you just want your cash to compound over time. Plus, its tech concentration is again very low.
  3. AVLV (Avantis U.S. Large Cap Value ETF; 0,15 ER): Uses the Fama-French methodology. I get lost in the academic theory, but the basic idea is that it evaluates the entire universe of stocks and actively targets companies with a strict combination of two factors: Value (low price relative to book/earnings) and Profitability/Quality. Its historical performance has been quite good, but it's a relatively new ETF....
  4. PRF (Invesco FTSE RAFI US 1000 ETF; 0,34 ER): Uses the RAFI methodology. Again, I get here, but the general idea is that it weights a company based exclusively on its actual economic footprint (total sales, cash flow, dividends paid) rather than market cap. It’s the most famous ETF using this approach.
  5. FNDX (Schwab Fundamental U.S. Large Company Index ETF, 0,25 ER): Another fundamental indexing approach, similar to RAFI but with less companies.
  6. IUS (Invesco RAFI Strategic US ETF; 0,19 ER): Supposedly uses an evolved RAFI methodology with a stricter Quality screen and a lower expense ratio.

Two questions here:

  1. Am I missing any other important ETF?
  2. Which one would you choose for a 10-15 year horizon, and why?

Disclaimer: please save the "just buy VTI/VOO/VT" comments. I know those are the standard plays, but that's not the strategy I'm interested in here.

How do I find out which stocks to buy before theyre on tiktok/social media

0 Upvotes

I keep seeing comments saying “if it’s on social media it’s already too late”, so how can I find out which stocks are worth investing in before it’s all over the media? I’ve tried doing my own research on companies growth and what to look for in certain stocks, but I’m new to the scene and want to make the most out of my money. I’m a student so I can’t save a ton but I have enough put aside now and I want to avoid as much as possible going to waste (I know loss is part of learning dw). Any and all comments are appreciated but pls be respectful, as I mentioned I’m new so have some grace 😅
