Beating analysts' top-line estimates that it would post fourth-quarter 2025 revenue of $1.34 billion, Palantir posted sales of $1.41 billion. Similarly, the company exceeded profitability expectations, reporting adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.25 -- better than the $0.23 analysts had anticipated.
In addition to Palantir's recent performance, management's insight into what lies ahead for the company is also stoking investors' excitement. Management projects 2026 revenue of $7.18 billion to $7.2 billion, representing year-over-year growth of more than 60%.
Perhaps of greater note to investors, management projects 2026 adjusted free cash flow of $3.925 billion to $4.125 billion. Should it achieve the midpoint of this guidance, it will represent a year-over-year increase of 77%.
Palantir stock predictions vary tremendously. While some see Palantir stock extending its 135% gain from 2025 into 2026, others surmise shares are poised to plummet. What's clear, though, is that Palantir stock is trading at a premium right now -- currently priced at 199.7 times operating cash flow, notable steeper than their five-year average cash flow multiple of 69.2. The important thing for potential investors, without a doubt, is to conduct their due diligence and thoroughly evaluate the company before deciding to initiate a position.
