D-Wave Quantum’s $2.53M Q3 2024 Revenue Target: What It Means
SHARE

Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) has generated considerable excitement among investors due to its impressive stock performance, which has surged 168% in the past year, reaching all-time highs. The company’s success is attributed to its expansion into artificial intelligence (AI) analytics, significant revenue growth, and improved profit margins.

As a result, Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) has become one of the top-performing stocks recently and was added to the S&P 500 index.

Initially designed to provide analytics software for U.S. military and intelligence agencies, Palantir has established itself as a crucial provider for these sectors, securing a recent five-year, $480 million contract from the Department of Defense to implement its AI operating system throughout the department.

This strong foundation in government contracts has allowed Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) to make notable progress in the commercial market, where its customer base has increased ninefold in the past three years.

Since going public at the end of 2020, Palantir has experienced remarkable revenue growth, with a 175% increase, bringing total revenue to $2.48 billion over the past 12 months.

Palantir Technologies: Riding High on AI Growth

Palantir Reports 27% Revenue Growth and Strong Operating Income, But High Valuation Raises Concerns

Last quarter, the company reported a 27% year-over-year revenue increase. While investors were initially concerned about its profitability, Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) has successfully improved its operations, achieving a 12% operating margin and generating $292 million in operating income during the previous year.

As its customer base continues to grow, investor optimism remains high, pushing shares to recent highs of $40, reminiscent of their trading during the 2021 market bubble. However, with a price-to-sales ratio of 37 and a price-to-earnings ratio of 229, Palantir’s valuation appears stretched.

Even if the company achieves ambitious targets, such as growing revenue to $20 billion in the next decade and expanding profit margins to 30%, the projected earnings suggest that Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR)’s current valuation might be overblown.

Therefore, despite its strong growth prospects, concerns about high valuation could hinder the stock’s appreciation in the long run.
