It’s almost time for what’s quickly becoming earnings season’s must-watch name: Palantir (Nasdaq: PLTR). I’m sure plenty of 24/7 Wall St. readers are waiting for this report. After all, we called the stock our ’10X Moonshot’ stock in the ‘Discover the Next NVIDIA’ report we published last year.
Certainly, that call has worked out better than we could have imagined. Palantir is firing on all cylinders (which we expected), but also is now a whopping 3.5X more expensive than the next two most-expensive software stocks in the market, Crowdstrike (Nasdaq: CRWD) and Cloudflare (NYSE: NET).
(We did not expect the stock to get that much more expensive than other peers!)
So, we have a stock operating at incredibly high levels and a significant ‘narrative’ behind it. That is to say, political fears that are weighing on many other stocks are a tailwind to Palantir. As the Pentagon slims down, it often looks to Palantir to replace costs from legacy contractors. In addition, the company has seen rapid acceleration in its commercial revenue in recent quarters.
