When that pullback finally happens, I'd buy\nIonQ\n(\nIONQ\n+2.53%\n)\nand\nPalantir\n(\nPLTR\n1.86%\n)\n-- two companies that are firing on all cylinders but trading at sky-high valuations.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nIonQ is a top quantum computing play\nIonQ is an early mover in\nquantum computing\n, which processes specific tasks much faster than classical computers.

If a market crash significantly reduces that price-to-sales ratio, I'd eagerly buy its stock.\nPalantir is one of the best AI plays\nPalantir is a data-mining and analysis company that serves most U.S. government agencies.

Readable Markdown	It's always a bad idea to invest in the right company at the wrong price. Yet over the past few years, that's precisely what happened when many investors chased some of the market's hottest hypergrowth stocks without considering their skyrocketing valuations. So with the S\&P 500 still looking historically expensive at nearly 30 times earnings, it might be smarter to wait for the next market crash before embracing those market darlings. When that pullback finally happens, I'd buy IonQ ([IONQ](https://www.fool.com/quote/nyse/ionq/) \+2.53%) and Palantir ([PLTR](https://www.fool.com/quote/nasdaq/pltr/) 1\.86%) -- two companies that are firing on all cylinders but trading at sky-high valuations. ![A bear in front of a declining stock chart.](https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F858693%2Fbear-stock-chart.jpg&w=3840&op=resize) Image source: Getty Images. ## IonQ is a top quantum computing play IonQ is an early mover in [quantum computing](https://www.fool.com/terms/q/quantum-computing/), which processes specific tasks much faster than classical computers. Unlike older electron-driven systems, which require cryogenic refrigeration, IonQ's "trapped ion" systems can operate at room temperature. That makes them smaller, more scalable, and more accurate for complex calculations than electron-based systems. IONQ Today's Change (2.53%) \$0.71 Current Price \$28.79 From 2025 to 2028, analysts expect IonQ's revenue to grow at a 64% CAGR as it sells more of its systems (Aria, Forte, Forte Enterprise, and Tempo) while expanding its cloud-based quantum computing platform. Much of that growth will also be driven by large government contracts. IonQ's future looks bright, but its stock is already richly valued at 25 times its 2028 sales.
