  • Palantir Poised for Profit Growth Amid AI Market Caution
    January 22, 2026, 2:14 PM EST. Palantir Technologies (PLTR) shows strong revenue and profit growth, with Q3 revenue up 63% year-over-year to $1.18 billion and operating income more than tripling, reflecting its scalable AI software business model. Despite being valued at over 200 times 2025's expected profits, analysts expect earnings to rise from $0.72 in 2025 to $2.21 by 2029, indicating accelerating profitability. However, the stock trades at a premium with a 112 times trailing sales and 172 times projected 2026 earnings multiple, raising questions about its near-term valuation. Market skepticism about an AI bubble weighs on investor sentiment, but Palantir's solid fundamentals and enterprise customer base position it as a potential 2026 market surprise.
