Risk-tolerant investors might consider dollar-cost averaging rather than buying all at once.For the full year 2025, Palantir stock is up 56.5%, outperforming many tech peers.Wall Street remains somewhat divided on PLTR’s prospects. The AIPI ETF, which holds Palantir along with 26 other stocks, has a Moderate Buy consensus rating, with 21 Buy ratings and 6 Hold ratings among its holdings.Analysts have set an average price target of $47.62 for the AIPI ETF, suggesting 18.07% upside potential.Similarly, FPX carries a Moderate Buy consensus rating based on 89 Buys, 10 Holds, and 2 Sells assigned to its holdings in the last three months.
