Palantir’s Q3 Beat Pits AI Growth Against Lofty Valuation

Investors are weighing raised guidance against one of the market’s richest valuations.

Overview

  • Palantir reported a stronger-than-expected third quarter and lifted full‑year guidance as demand for its Artificial Intelligence Platform accelerated, with U.S. commercial cited as its fastest-growing business.
  • The stock has climbed roughly 220% over the past year and has swung sharply following earnings as traders reassess the trajectory of AI-driven growth.
  • A Bloomberg-cited analysis lists Palantir as the most expensive stock on the S&P 500 by price-to-sales, and only about a quarter of covering analysts rate it a Buy with median targets showing limited upside.
  • Second‑quarter 13F filings show Millennium and AQR added Palantir shares, though those purchases predate the latest earnings-driven moves.
  • Scion’s Michael Burry disclosed a bearish put position in Palantir, while Jim Cramer publicly endorsed the company’s fundamentals despite acknowledging valuation concerns.
