New Highs for this S&P Newcomer

Dear Reader,

Yesterday, we looked at a Daily Price Chart of ServiceNow, Inc., noting that NOW’s OBV line is sloping up, validating the stock’s recent bullish trend.

For today’s Trade of the Day we will be looking at a Daily Price chart for Palantir Technologies, Inc. stock symbol: PLTR.

Before breaking down PLTR’s daily price chart let’s first review which products and services are offered by the company.

Palantir Technologies Inc. builds and deploys software platforms for the intelligence community to assist in counterterrorism investigations and operations in the United States, the United Kingdom, and internationally.

Now, let’s begin to break down the Daily Price chart for PLTR. Below is a Daily Price Chart with the price line displayed by an OHLC bar.

Buy PLTR Stock

The Daily Price chart above shows that PLTR stock has been hitting new 52-Week Highs regularly this week.

Simply put, a stock does not just continually hit a series of new 52-Week Highs unless it is in a very strong bullish trend.

The Hughes Optioneering team looks for stocks that are making a series of 52-Week Highs as this is a good indicator that the stock is in a powerful uptrend.

You see, after a stock makes a series of two or more 52-Week Highs, the stock typically continues its price uptrend and should be purchased.

Our initial price target for PLTR stock is 37.50 per share.

88.3% Profit Potential for PLTR Option

Now, since PLTR stock is currently making a series of new 52-Week Highs this means the stock’s bullish rally will likely continue. Let’s use the Hughes Optioneering calculator to look at the potential returns for a PLTR call option purchase.

The Call Option Calculator will calculate the profit/loss potential for a call option trade based on the price change of the underlying stock/ETF at option expiration in this example from a flat PLTR price to a 12.5% increase.

The Optioneering Team uses the 1% Rule to select an option strike price with a higher percentage of winning trades. In the following PLTR option example, we used the 1% Rule to select the PLTR option strike price but out of fairness to our paid option service subscribers we don’t list the strike price used in the profit/loss calculation.

Trade with Higher Accuracy

When you use the 1% Rule to select a PLTR in-the-money option strike price, PLTR stock only has to increase 1% for the option to breakeven and start profiting! Remember, if you purchase an at-the-money or out-of-the-money call option and the underlying stock closes flat at option expiration it will result in a 100% loss for your option trade! In this example, if PLTR stock is flat at 35.51 at option expiration, it will only result in a 6.4% loss for the PLTR option compared to a 100% loss for an at-the-money or out-of-the-money call option.

Using the 1% Rule to select an option strike price can result in a higher percentage of winning trades compared to at-the-money or out-of-the-money call options. This higher accuracy can give you the discipline needed to become a successful option trader and can help avoid 100% losses when trading options.

The goal of this example is to demonstrate the powerful profit potential available from trading options compared to stocks.

The prices and returns represented below were calculated based on the current stock and option pricing for PLTR on 9/13/2024 before commissions.

When you purchase a call option, there is no limit on the profit potential of the call if the underlying stock continues to move up in price.

For this specific call option, the calculator analysis below reveals if PLTR stock increases 5.0% at option expiration to 37.29 (circled), the call option would make 40.9% before commission.

If PLTR stock increases 10.0% at option expiration to 39.06 (circled), the call option would make 88.3% before commission and outperform the stock return nearly 9 to 1*.

The leverage provided by call options allows you to maximize potential returns on bullish stocks.
