The SpaceX filing just happened. You’ve got weeks.

APRIL 17, 2026   |   READ ONLINE

Elon’s filing for the SpaceX IPO just hit the mainstream news…

And everyone is wondering how I called it… almost to the exact day being reported.

Well…

I met Elon Musk face to face.

At a private gathering of the world’s financial elite, I was one of just two people selected to speak with him personally.

That conversation — combined with three years studying patterns at CIA headquarters — is why my SpaceX prediction was dead on accurate.

And while the mainstream media was playing catch-up…

I had already helped nearly 15,000 Main Street Americans discover the “backdoor” way to stake a claim pre-IPO.

Now the stakes are even higher.

The filing just happened.

21 banks — including JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley — are preparing to underwrite what they’re calling “Project Apex.”

The framework for the biggest IPO in Wall Street history.

Everyone is now looking at June.

So here’s what that means for you and your money…

You just got a gift.

A few more weeks to position yourself before the biggest gains are gobbled up by Wall Street insiders.

Once the roadshow kicks off… once the media frenzy begins… once millions of investors scramble to get in…

The window slams shut.

But right now — today — you still have time.

This Month’s Featured Story

Palantir Faces Skepticism Despite Strong Growth

Written by Chris Markoch. Originally Published: 4/7/2026. 

Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR)remains one of the most hotly debated stocks among investors and analysts. On April 1, Benchmark initiated coverage of PLTR with a Hold rating and a $150 price target.

That target is close to the stock’s trading range over the past two months, but it sits more than 20% below the consensus price target of $197.77.

The recent weakness in PLTR has been driven in part by the broader rotation out of technologyand, more specifically, software stocks.

Analyst sentiment on Palantir has generally skewed bullish. The question now is whether Benchmark’s call is an outlier or an early warning of further downside.

A Familiar Story for the Bears

Behind Benchmark’s Hold are familiar bearish themes that have followed Palantir for years. Their concerns can be summarized as follows:

  • Benchmark argues that to justify its lofty valuation, Palantir must sustain annual revenue growth in the 60%–70% range; anything materially below that could trigger market drawdowns.
  • In fiscal 2025, Palantir’s international commercial revenue grew just 2.5% year over year, a signal to Benchmark that demand among even U.S. allies may be limited.
  • While $1.3 billion in total contract value (TCV) bookings shows Palantir can maintain client relationships, the company will need many more new customers to validate its valuation.

The Numbers Behind the Bull Case

Benchmark’s concerns largely hinge on valuation. The bears cite fundamentals, but the bulls point to strong recent results and a committed base of retail holders.

The bullish case rests on facts from Palantir’s most recent earnings report. The company reported total revenue of $1.41 billion in Q4 2025, up 70% year over year, with U.S. commercial revenue surging 137% year over year to $507 million. That level of domestic acceleration is difficult to dismiss as a fluke.

Palantir also recorded an 8% sequential increase in commercial customers, and a 49% increase year over year. High single-digit sequential gains may not wow every investor, but Palantir has a history of upside surprises.

The company posted a record total contract value of $4.26 billion for the quarter, up 138% year over year, which suggests the demand pipeline is expanding rather than contracting.

Perhaps most striking was Palantir’s Rule of 40 score of 127% in Q4 2025 — the combined measure of revenue growth and adjusted operating margin. By that metric, Palantir outpaces enterprise software peers such as Adobe (NASDAQ: ADBE), Salesforce (NYSE: CRM), and Workday (NASDAQ: WDAY).

The company’s adjusted operating income reached $798 million at a 57% margin, and it finished the quarter with $7.2 billion in cash and no debt. Management guided U.S. commercial revenue for full-year 2026 above $3.14 billion, implying growth of at least 115%. Those figures don’t look like the results of a company suffering from demand weakness.

Investors may accept Benchmark’s concerns about commercial growth, but the government side of Palantir’s business is harder to ignore. Palantir’s Maven Smart System is now a formal program of record, which helps make Maven a long-term fixture across multiple branches of the U.S. military.

That designation strengthens Palantir’s military funding and helps secure future contracts, stabilizing the government business as the commercial segment grows. For skeptics focused on valuation risk, durable multiyear government commitments like these provide structural support that makes the premium easier to justify.

The Timing Could Be on Benchmark’s Side

PLTR is down nearly 20% in 2026. Although the stock has bounced off roughly $129—suggesting a short-term floor—it has experienced drops of 30% or more several times over the past five years.

KEY POINTS

  • A recent analyst rating highlights ongoing concerns that high growth expectations may already be priced into shares.
  • Strong domestic growth, expanding bookings, and industry-leading profitability metrics continue to support the bullish case.
  • The stock remains under pressure in the near term, making timing a key factor for both bullish and bearish investors.
  • Special Report: This SpaceX IPO news Makes Me Furious (From The Oxford Club)

No matter which side of Benchmark’s view investors take, PLTR remains under selling pressure. In late March the stock pushed toward $165—the level it traded at before the most recent pullback—but that advance was rebuffed. Reclaiming $165 is the first hurdle the stock needs to clear before it can attempt the next move higher.

Investors who agree with Benchmark may see a lower price as necessary before the stock becomes a clear buy. Others, looking at the consensus price target, may view this consolidation as an opportunity to accumulate shares.

I was born on 6 August 1956 in San Francisco, California to Janet and (the late) Richard Hovis. I grew up in Santa Monica, California where I attended elementary, junior high school, and high school (graduating in 1974), in addition to involvement in sports and recreation (Little League +, the Boy’s Club ++). Further, it was in elementary school – St. Augustine’s By-the -Sea Parish School that I found, and made the choice to truly journey with God. I attended Arizona State University from 1974 to 1977 – seeking to become an architect, however, I was not accepted, and, as such, I graduated with a Liberal Arts degree. Upon graduation from Arizona State University, I attended Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and studied City and Regional Planning at the Master’s level. I successfully completed one (1) year in a two (2) year program – I did not complete the Master’s degree in City and Regional Planning – due to personal reasons. I returned to Santa Monica where I started (October 1979) my career as graphic designer with Exxon Company, USA. I spent five years with Exxon Company, USA. While working with Exxon Company, USA I was accepted into architectural school – Sci-Arc in Southern California, however, I did not attend preferring to stay with Exxon.. In 1982 I married Laura Flosi and in April 1983 we had our one and only child – Lauren Alain Hovis – a gift from God. We moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 1984 from Los Angeles, where I went to work as a graphic designer with Kitchell CEM (from 1985 -1987). From 1987 – 1995 I was an independent contractor, and a registered representative in mortgage finance, financial management, graphic design, and drafting. Further, I attended the University of Phoenix and successfully obtained a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) in 1982. I was also a member of the Scottsdale Jaycees, where I became very involved in community events and projects. In 1994, I accepted a cartography position with the Defense Mapping Agency in Reston, Virginia. As such, I relocated from Phoenix to Reston. In 1998, I was accepted and worked as a Visual Information Officer with the Central Intelligence Agency. In 2002, I worked as a Support Officer until my retirement (due to a need for shoulder surgery) in September 2018. Away from my Federal Government service, I have been involved in various organizations and activities in Northern Virginia. In November of 2011, I married Rebecca Ouellette in Santa Monica, California. I reside in San Tan Valley, AZ with my two hamster - Jess and Timothy, our fish, our lizard - RJ Lizard., and our cats - Pearl and Grey. As to hobbies, I enjoy playing sports, attending sporting events, mentoring individuals from financial management to hamsters, building models, photography, travel, multimedia design, managing partner for RJ Hamster, and jazz – smooth jazz to a samba or a bossa nova. Love and God Bless, Peter – aka RJ Hamster Jo hi
