Artificial intelligence (AI) software company Palantir (NASDAQ: PLTR) has a strong case as the most talked-about stock this year. The success of its AI tools amid the current AI boom has made it one of the more high-profile stocks on the market, and its stock price has followed the hype. Its stock is up 143% year to date through Aug. 14, but the surge started way before now.

Had you invested $100 into the stock three years ago (with Aug. 14, 2022, as the starting point), your investment would be worth over $1,850. Calling those returns impressive would undoubtedly be an understatement.
