Revenue has grown 32.9% a year over three years, leaving the last twelve months at $6.2 billion. Operating margin is 42.8%. Return on invested capital comes to 649%. It does not pay a dividend. These numbers describe past results and current financial position, and they are shown for reference only.

StocksXray gives Palantir Technologies Inc. an X-Ray Score of 60 out of 100 (medium confidence), ahead of 76% of the S&P 500 stocks in its sector. Its strongest lens is growth (90) and its weakest is valuation (9).

Our fair value blend is $38.19 (range $35.20 to $41.94). At $186.03 the stock trades 387% above that blend, so the label is "Data under review" with high model uncertainty. Fair value is a range, not a price target.

How to read this report

Every number comes from SEC filings, end-of-day prices and the StocksXray models described on the methodology page. The X-Ray Score ranks each metric against the company's own sector. Fair value blends three models and carries a typical error of about 40%, so treat it as a range. Analyst ratings, price targets and earnings-call summaries are not part of this report.
