Palantir’s business acceleration was impressive as the management continues to make advice.
Today, the company’s evaluation leaves little space to disappoint.
The five -year perspectives show that shares may not meet current expectations.
10 shares we like better than Palantir Technologies ›
Palantir (Nasdaq: bride) was one of 2025. Exclusive winners. The shares have increased this year as the company’s artificial intelligence (AI) platforms are gaining attraction in both government and commercial markets. Enthusiasm is not unfounded. In the second quarter, the Palantir update showed rapid growth and increased profitability, and the management increased its perspective throughout the year. However, after a big step, investors should ask the main question: What can shares be justified in five years?
Unfortunately, I do not believe that shares have a great future, and that does not mean that I bet against the company – far from. In fact, I believe that Palantir will grow in both the top and the sides of the next five years, and that investors will pay for this growth.
The problem is that the promotions do not start from the highest value, but out of obscene.

The Palantir growth engine is hot, helping to explain why investors loved stock so much.
2025 In the second quarter, revenue increased by 48% per year to about $ 1.0 billion, while US commercial income jumped 93%. The leadership led a quarter -revenue to about 50% of growth and increased its 2025 income prospects to $ 4.142 billion. USD up to $ 4,150 billion USD. These are eye -catching figures that emphasize the great product that resonates with customers and excellent execution of management.
Profitability is also improving. The GAAP activity margin was 27% compared to 20% in the first quarter and 16% per year.
Having such a momentum makes it difficult to bet against business. And I don’t plan. Nevertheless, the stocks themselves look overestimated.
I will keep mathematicians simple. If the Palantir revenue from about 25% a year in five years, earns a 30% net income margin and sells about 65 times the income at the time, my model is almost $ 100 per share. It’s far from today’s price.
But wait why only 25%? Remember that an average of 25%over the next five years, it may be higher in the first few years and in the second half of this period. In addition, given the risk of future forecasting, it always makes sense to bake a certain level of conservatism. In fact, I bet that a conservative investor will call me crazy for using such an aggressive growth forecast. Nevertheless, Palantir has recently been the habit of being extraordinary, so I will wear pink lenses.
Here’s a closer look at how to reach this stock price.
Start with the company itself in 2025. Income supervisor as bases. Grow it 25% a year for five years and receives about $ 12.6 billion in $ 12.6 billion. Let’s say Palantir reaches the GAAP network margin by about 30% by that time – higher than the company’s activity margin Q2, so it is generous. Dated by the shares at almost today’s level (it is also generous, as Palantir’s liberal share compensation has fundamentally reduced by shareholders) that Matm receives from approximately $ 1.45 to $ 1.55 GAAP EPS. Put the price of 65 to the reusable (p/e) at the middle point, and the stock price will get about $ 100. Call it between $ 95 and $ 105.
There are obvious warnings. If growth or margins overestimate these assumptions, the true value moves higher. But if the dilution continues to be hot, or if the margins are obscured, the result slides below. And the rich many are not guaranteed in five years. Today, Palantir uses intensive AI optimism; In five years, investors may demand that P/E be less than 65 if AIs are in favor of investors, competition is intensified or government budgets are tightened.
Recently changing shares in the middle of $ 150, the market is already a much more optimistic way than this scenario. This does not do Palantir in bad business. This simply narrows the security limit of investors. If you have promotions, you do your model what you think the company can earn over the next five years, you can help you decide whether to arrange, store or wait for a better entrance.
Yes, Palantir’s implementation has improved and the management is very optimistic about the future. However, even with generous assumptions, 25% annual sales growth and still abundant 65 p/e-fifth prognosis for promotions show only $ 100. These are well below today’s quotes, which means that potential buyers should be patient and current holders can at least review their assumptions.
