Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR) saw its stock surge by approximately 7% on Friday following a report from The New York Times indicating that the U.S. government is expanding its use of Palantir’s Foundry tool across federal agencies. Since the Trump administration began, Palantir has secured over $113 million in federal contracts, with significant deals including a $795 million contract from the Department of Defense.
Palantir’s financial performance shows impressive growth, with revenue rising 33.5% to $2.9 billion over the last 12 months. Its price-to-sales ratio stands at 91.1, significantly higher than the S&P 500’s 3.0. Meanwhile, the company’s cash reserves are strong, totaling $5.4 billion, yielding a cash-to-assets ratio of 80.6%. However, despite strong growth, the company’s stock remains highly valued and sensitive to market downturns, with a previous drop of 84.6% during economic shocks.
