Good Afternoon! 

Hey, everyone. It's Adam from Elite Trade Club. 

Here’s what moved the market today.

Markets 📈

The market continued its hot streak on Friday, with solid gains for U.S. indexes. The Russell 2K grew the most, but it was the Dow Jones that set a new record high.

  • DJIA [+1.64%]

  • S&P 500 [+1.11%]

  • Nasdaq [+1.03%]

  • Russell 2K [+1.72%]

Some of the greatest opportunities can be found in undervalued stocks.

Often, a stock will become undervalued because of negative events, like the pandemic. Perhaps the company missed earnings, became overlooked, or was hit with downgrades. Or, maybe the stock fell along with its competition.

Here are five of the most exciting, cheap stocks you may want to take a look at today.

Palantir's AI Platform Drives Significant Growth in U.S. Commercial Sector for 2024

🌟 Palantir's Remarkable Journey

Palantir has been on a remarkable journey since its public offering in September 2020, consistently emphasizing the growth potential in the commercial sector. As we move through 2024, Palantir’s expansion in the U.S. commercial market, fueled by its Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP), is showing significant momentum.

This platform empowers customers by leveraging advanced AI and machine learning tools, integrated within Palantir's Foundry and Gotham systems.

📈 Impressive Q1 Growth

In the first quarter of 2024, Palantir’s AIP continued to drive impressive growth. The U.S. commercial revenue surged by 40% year-over-year, reaching $150 million. Despite a slight deceleration from the previous quarter's 70% growth, the sequential acceleration highlights the robustness of this segment.

🏢 Focus on the Commercial Sector

Palantir's commercial sector remains a key focus for investors, with AIP at the forefront. The company added 41 new U.S. commercial customers in Q1, a 69% year-over-year increase. This growth extended beyond the U.S., with the total commercial customer count rising to 427, marking a 53% year-over-year increase.

🚀 High Demand for AIP

The ongoing interest in AIP is evident, with Palantir conducting over 915 bootcamps to meet the high demand. These bootcamps have proven effective in converting participants into paying customers and expanding existing contracts.

In Q1, U.S. commercial deals increased by 94% year-over-year to 136, with the total contract value rising by 131% to $286 million. Overall, commercial bookings soared by 187% year-over-year to $505 million, with the U.S. contributing more than half.

💼 Rapid Deal Closures

Palantir's ability to quickly close deals is another positive sign. For instance, a leading utility company signed a seven-figure deal just five days after completing a bootcamp. Such rapid deal cycles demonstrate the compelling value proposition of Palantir’s AIP.
