NASDAQ · Technology · analysed October 5, 2026
Founded in 2003, Palantir Technologies Inc. is an enterprise software company specializing in big data analytics, data integration, and operational decision-making platforms for government, defense, and commercial clients. Its flagship software suites—including Palantir Gotham, Foundry, and Apollo—enable institutions to aggregate disparate data, manage security permissions, and streamline complex workflows.

Executive summary
Palantir Technologies demonstrates elite fundamental performance, combining 56.18% revenue growth and 36.31% GAAP net margins in FY2025 with accelerated expansion across U.S. enterprise and defense programs of record1,2,16. However, the stock's 404% two-year appreciation has pushed valuation to an extreme forward price-to-earnings ratio of 93.74 and roughly 100 times trailing sales, leaving minimal safety margin against European sovereignty headwinds or procurement lulls1,2. While the company's proprietary ontology layer and defense prime accreditations furnish a strong competitive moat, current market pricing heavily discounts multiple years of near-flawless forward execution1,3.
