Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR) Stock Price Prediction for 2026: Where Will It Be in 1 Year
"When the company reported Q3 earnings on Nov. 3, 2025, it beat on the top and bottom lines with EPS of 21 cents versus 17 cents expected, and revenue of $1.18 billion versus $1.09 billion expected. Palantir issued strong guidance, attributing growth to adoption of its AI software platform. Meanwhile, it announced that government sales - which have been essential to Palantir's rise - grew 52% from the same quarter a year ago."
"In September 2025, it was reported that the company agreed to a £1.5 billion defense deal with the U.K. That comes not he back of an announcement in early August that the U.S. Army is consolidating 75 contracts into a single 10-year arrangement with Palantir valued at $10 billion. However, the so-called smart money have been selling the stock in flurries lately, leaving Palantir's institutional ownership at just 56.19%."
"While the stock's forward P/E ratio of 175.44 can be concerning, Palantir's federal contracts and aerospace ties are expected to continue fueling growth. While earnings are rear-facing, the emerging trends seen in the company's Q3 results can serve as a foundation for further rewards for shareholders. However, PLTR's market multiple implies it could take an investor nearly half a century to recover their initial investment, assuming earnings remained constant."
Palantir reported Q3 2025 EPS of $0.21 versus $0.17 expected and revenue of $1.18 billion versus $1.09 billion expected. The company issued strong guidance and attributed growth to adoption of its AI software platform. Government sales grew 52% year-over-year. Palantir secured a £1.5 billion U.K. defense deal and a consolidated U.S. Army arrangement valued at $10 billion over ten years. Institutional investors have reduced positions, leaving institutional ownership at 56.19%, with large cuts from JPMorgan and T. Rowe Price. The stock trades at a forward P/E of 175.44, implying a long payback if earnings do not grow.
