Palantir Rallies on 93% Growth and 55% Margin as $419 Billion Valuation Draws Scrutiny

Summary
Palantir shares extended their rally after a blowout earnings report showed 93% year-over-year growth and a 55% profit margin, reinforcing investor confidence in its AI business.
The surge reflects demand for software that helps customers deploy AI on top of existing systems, with Palantir strengthening its role in U.S. government work while expanding its commercial business.
Wall Street expects 84% growth in Q3 and 75% in Q4, though the report notes Palantir has regularly beaten forecasts and could post growth closer to 90% again.
At a $419 billion market value, the debate has shifted from business momentum to valuation, with analysts expecting growth to slow to 49% next year and making another 2,600% run look unrealistic.
