However, its current valuation is high, trading at 274 times expected earnings and 98.5 times expected revenue, raising concerns about future growth. Despite impressive Q2 financials, with revenue hitting $1 billion, investors should approach with caution and consider a long-term investment strategy, such as dollar-cost averaging, to mitigate risks associated with volatility. A X-bagger refers to a stock that has multiplied in value by X times. In this case, a 7-bagger is a stock that has increased by 600% -- and that's exactly what **Palantir Technologies** (PLTR 2.53%) has done over the past 12 months. That's a legendary run for a company that started off with a market cap of around $54 billion beforehand, and one that makes it a prime buy-and-hold candidate. Although Palantir's recent stock price surge is impressive (to put it lightly), it doesn't mean too much for people who haven't owned any shares over that span. For people considering investing in the stock, this run may bring caution, with the worry that a pullback is seemingly inevitable. With the next five years in mind, does Palantir have what it takes to continue its explosive growth? Although nobody can say for certain, there are a few factors in play that can help us get an idea of the likelihood.

It's important to know at any time, but especially if you're wondering about its chances for explosive growth. At the time of this writing, it's trading at 274 times its expected earnings for next year and 98.5 times its expected revenue. Its enterprise value (market cap + debt – cash) is currently trading around 97 times its forward expected revenue. For perspective, those are more than 6.5 and 4.5 times higher than **Nvidia**, respectively, which is also considered very expensive by most standards. PLTR PE Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts In this case, Palantir's forward P/E ratio is what's important because it shows that investors have already priced in a lot of future growth. There's really no way to justify the levels Palantir is trading at, but if you're approaching the stock expecting explosive growth in the next five years, know that it would take years of unprecedented and flawless execution to pull it off. Can it happen? Sure. But that largely depends on your definition of "explosive growth." If you're expecting more short-term 600% gains, it's probably not a realistic outlook from this point. ## Palantir impressed with its second-quarter financials Palantir's impressive financial growth over the past year is part of the reason for its stock price growth. (Emphasis on "part" because it hasn't necessarily justified *this* much of a surge.) In the second quarter (Q2), its revenue hit $1 billion for the first time in company history. Its U.S. government revenue made up the bulk of it, growing 53% year over year (YOY) to $426 million. However, the growth of its U.S. commercial segment was the most impressive, growing 93% to $306 million. PLTR Revenue (Quarterly) data by YCharts Palantir's U.S. commercial segment will likely be its fastest-growing segment for the near future, and its CEO, Alex Karp, predicts that the company can increase its U.S. revenue tenfold in the next five years. Even if it's able to accomplish this, its current valuation with that future revenue would still be awfully expensive. ## Approach Palantir with a long-term mindset The stock market behaves irrationally all the time; that's just what it does. So, strictly looking at financials and saying Palantir's stock can't experience more explosive growth in the next five years isn't a guarantee of how things will play out. That said, I would caution against approaching the stock with those expectations. If anything, I would invest in Palantir, planning to hold onto the stock for quite some time because high volatility seems inevitable. A great approach would be to dollar-cost average instead of investing a lump sum at its current price. By dollar-cost averaging, you can gradually acquire shares, while protecting yourself against sharp pullbacks or buying in at overinflated levels. ### Related Stocks - [PLTR.US - Palantir Tech](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/PLTR.US.md) ## Related News & Research | Title | Description | URL | |-------|-------------|-----| | 华尔街顶级分析师最新评级：安德玛下调至卖出 | 华尔街分析师最新评级变动显示，安德玛（UAA）被花旗下调至卖出，目标价 6.20 美元。与此同时，其他公司如 Snap、Unity、Booking Holdings、Palantir 和 Take-Two 则获得评级上调，反映出市场对这些公 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/275484472.md) | | Palantir 获 DISA 关键授权 “大空头” 伯里警告股价将跌近 60% | Palantir 宣布获得美国国防信息系统局 (DISA) 的重要授权，允许其联邦云服务在本地及边缘端部署。此举为美国政府提供了多供应商架构的灵活性。知名投资者迈克尔·伯里对该股发表谨慎看法，警告股价可能暴跌近 60%，下一个支撑位在 80 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/275766566.md) | | 全网最没存在感的潮牌，靠韩剧同款也没能翻红 | 彪马品牌在过去十年逐渐失去市场存在感，面临业绩下滑和定位模糊的问题。2025 年预计将巨亏超 3 亿欧元。安踏以 123 亿元收购彪马 29.06% 股权，成为最大股东。尽管彪马在社交媒体上引发讨论，但其市场地位仍不及耐克、阿迪达斯及国产品 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/275962231.md) | | 刚刚，软银投出一个 IPO | 再惠公司于 2 月 13 日向港交所递交上市申请，成为中国最大的餐饮线上运营与营销解决方案提供商。尽管三年亏损超过 7.5 亿，软银等知名投资者支持其发展。公司提供 AI 驱动的解决方案，助力商家提升线上运营与营销，客户增长率达 23.8% | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/275959981.md) | | 迈向完全自动驾驶：Waymo 介绍第六代自动驾驶硬件 | Waymo 于 2 月 12 日介绍了其第六代自动驾驶硬件系统，结合高分辨率摄像头、先进成像雷达和激光雷达，旨在实现完全自动驾驶并扩大 Robotaxi 服务。新系统在视觉能力上以更少的摄像头数量超越前代产品，同时在激光雷达的探测距离和精度 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/275971483.md) | --- > **Disclaimer**: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.
