The strongest catalyst for PLTR has been investor interest in artificial intelligence (AI) with Palantir offering a range of advanced AI solutions that are designed to help organizations unlock the value of their data.

As a beneficiary of the AI boom, Palantir Foundry is the company’s flagship platform that integrates and operationalizes data by using AI and machine learning to provide actionable insights for complex workflows. Additionally, the Palantir Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) is designed to improve productivity and reduce costs while Palantir’s Edge AI platform enables the training, management, and development of AI models by supporting autonomous decision making for real time data.

Notably, Palantir has strategic partnerships with the U.S. government which has been a further driver regarding high investor sentiment. More appealing is that Palantir recently extended its contract to assist with the U.S. Army Data Platform (ADP) in December.

ADP integrates, analyzes, and visualizes data that supports the army’s readiness, logistics, recruiting, and financial management. Providing its AI-enabled capabilities, Palantir inked the deal for $400.7 million over four years but could reap up to $620 million.

Also driving momentum in PLTR has been Palantir’s strong financial performance with the company now reaching or exceeding the Zacks EPS Consensus for eight consecutive quarters.

Based on Zacks estimates, Palantir’s total sales are now expected to increase 26% in fiscal 2024 and are forecasted to climb another 24% in FY25 to $3.5 billion. Already profitable, Palantir’s annual earnings are expected to soar 52% this year to $0.38 per share versus EPS of $0.25 in 2023. Plus, FY25 EPS is projected to expand another 24% to $0.47.

What suggests Palantir stock could still have more upside is that FY24 and FY25 EPS estimates are up 5% and 9% in the last 60 days respectively.
