Palantir Technologies Inc., PLTR
He also bought into two crypto-linked stocks: Robinhood Markets (HOOD) and Circle Internet Group (CRCL). Both are down heavily from their peaks — Robinhood by 50%, Circle by 75%.
These trades were filed in public disclosures and reflect positions from around 50 days ago. Investors should weigh current conditions before copying these moves.
Why Englander Still Holds Nvidia
Nvidia remains the third-largest holding in Englander’s fund. The sell-off looks more like profit-taking than a loss of confidence.
Nvidia dominates AI infrastructure through its GPUs and its CUDA software platform. CEO Jensen Huang has stated the company offers the best performance per total cost of ownership in the data center market.
Wall Street expects Nvidia’s earnings to grow at 38% annually over the next three years. The stock trades at 47 times earnings, which analysts consider fair given that pace of growth.
Palantir’s Numbers Are Strong, But the Price Is High
Palantir (PLTR) has seen sales growth accelerate for 10 straight quarters. It posted a Rule of 40 score of 127% in Q4, combining revenue growth and operating margin.
Despite that, Palantir is the most expensive stock in the S&P 500. It trades at 72 times sales, well above its closest peer. Englander’s position is small — Palantir doesn’t rank in his top 50 holdings.

The stablecoin market currently sits at $315 billion. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has said it could reach $3 trillion by 2030.
Circle’s Revenue Model and Growth Outlook
Circle earns most of its revenue from interest on the assets backing its stablecoins. It has also launched the Circle Payments Network for cross-border transactions.
Wall Street forecasts Circle’s revenue growing at 33% annually through 2027. The stock currently trades at 5.8 times sales. Among 27 analysts, the median price target is $107, implying 73% upside from the current $62 share price.
