Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR) on Decifer

Decifer ranks PLTR number 49 of 277 tracked names on durable business quality.

Why it ranks here

• It earns strong returns on the money it puts to work, around 18% and those returns have been improving and it turns most of its profit into real cash.
• Revenue is growing about 56% a year, profits grew 229% over the past year, and growth is speeding up, not slowing down.
• It keeps a high share of every sale as profit, and that has stayed steady over the years, a sign of real pricing power, with profitability widening as it grows.
• It is riding an active market tailwind and has the balance sheet to fund its growth.
• We do not have a clean read on how it is run yet.
• Our durability check found pressure on this name, which costs it a few points.
• Its profit margin and growth are both unusually high right now compared to its own history, the kind of combination that often fades once conditions normalize.
• One of 3 credible suppliers of enterprise AI with revenue up about 56% and profits up 229%, but a red durability read and 1 out of 35 momentum say the timing is poor right now.

The current read

The evidence on PLTR lines up on the supportive side: a live market force supports this name through its theme connection. One signal disagrees: the longer-term story is intact, but price is not rewarding it: semiconductor stocks are down 7.4% this week. The drop is large enough to signal near-term caution, worth watching but not the weight of the evidence.

Themes

• Software, Cloud & AI Platforms: PLTR sits in the enterprise ai layer of the Software, Cloud & AI Platforms story.
• Defence & Aerospace: Palantir provides AI data analytics platforms (Gotham, Foundry, AIP) for US and NATO defence agencies. Rising defence budgets support Palantir government segment revenue.
