Palantir's share price has outpaced the company's growth, pushing its price-to-earnings ratio to nearly 360. That's among the highest valuations on the market for any company. While analysts expect strong long-term earnings growth (27% annualized), it's nowhere near enough to justify such a high price.

Palantir Technologies (PLTR) has captured Wall Street’s imagination with its AI-powered defense solutions in 2024. The tech stock has surged over 300% in the past year, valuing the company at a market capitalization of $165 billion.

Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR) went public with a direct listing on the stock market in September 2020, and shares of the software platforms and data analytics provider delivered healthy gains since then.
