The overall score is a weighted research judgment covering business quality, fundamental strength, growth catalysts, valuation, technical condition, and downside risk. A high score does not eliminate risk, and a low score does not guarantee poor performance.
The rating combines fundamentals, growth, valuation, technicals, and risk. It is a research opinion, not a price target or prediction.
Palantir builds software that helps governments and companies integrate data, model operations, deploy artificial intelligence, and make decisions. Gotham mainly serves government and defense customers, Foundry supports commercial data operations, and the Artificial Intelligence Platform, or AIP, connects models to real workflows and controlled enterprise data.
Palantir sells software through multi-year contracts and expands accounts as more teams and use cases move onto the platform. Early deployments can require hands-on support, but successful customers can generate high-margin recurring revenue over time.
The company's moat comes from its ontology, security, deployment experience, and ability to connect software to operational decisions. Once Palantir becomes part of a customer's core workflow, switching can be expensive and disruptive.
Second-quarter revenue reached $1.935 billion, up 93% year over year. Government revenue was $990.0 million, while commercial revenue grew 110%. U.S. commercial revenue reached $764 million, up 149% year over year.
GAAP gross profit was $1.639 billion, equal to an estimated 84.7% gross margin. GAAP operating income was $912.0 million, or roughly a 47.1% operating margin. Net income was $1.066 billion and diluted EPS was $0.41.
These are exceptional software economics. The important question is how much of the current growth rate can persist as the revenue base becomes larger.
The balance sheet is a major strength. Palantir can invest aggressively without financial leverage risk.
Stock-based compensation was $265.2 million in the quarter, up 66% year over year and equal to roughly 13.7% of revenue. It remains a real cost because it can dilute shareholders even when excluded from adjusted results.
At the market snapshot date, Palantir traded near 137 times trailing earnings and 67 times trailing sales. Its P/S ratio was roughly three times selected software and data peers such as Snowflake, Datadog, and MongoDB.
The valuation is the central weakness in the thesis. Palantir can execute extremely well and still produce weak stock returns if growth normalizes faster than the multiple declines.
Palantir's current trend, EMA ribbon, 200-day EMA, RSI, MACD, volume, ATR, support, and resistance are recalculated in the live technical snapshot above. Use that panel as the current source because these values change after every completed trading day.
The strongest confirmations come when price structure, the EMA ribbon, momentum, and volume agree. ATR is especially important for Palantir because larger daily movement can require smaller position sizes and wider risk controls.
The live panel automatically searches for unfilled daily fair value gaps, valid order blocks, breaks of structure, change-of-character warnings, and nearby liquidity. These are approximate areas where price may react, not guaranteed reversal points. The zones should always be confirmed with price action and volume.
The next catalysts are new large contracts, evidence that AIP demand remains durable, and another quarter of growth without a major drop in margins.
Final view: Palantir earns a moderately bullish 73 because its growth, margins, balance sheet, cash flow, and breakout strength are exceptional. The extreme sales multiple, overbought RSI, large earnings gap, volatility, and stock-based compensation prevent a higher score and make entry price especially important.
