Key Points on Palantir Technologies

Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR) has seen its share price decline nearly 20% from its all-time high set in early November 2025. Despite this drop, it is one of only eight S&P 500 companies to record year-to-date gains of over 100%.

Many billionaire investors, including firms like Berkshire Hathaway and Pershing Square Capital Management, show no holdings or recent sales of Palantir shares, largely because these investors did not own the stocks initially. Palantir’s current forward price-to-earnings ratio is approximately 164, with a staggering 63 times projected sales for 2026, reflecting a valuation that many value investors find excessive.

Consensus estimates predict Palantir’s revenue will grow by 54% in 2025 but slow down to 40.5% year-over-year growth in subsequent years. This outlook contributes to skepticism about its valuation, especially when compared to other industry players like Nvidia, which has a more favorable earnings multiple of 23.5.
