It offers two software platforms: Gotham, which provides defense and intelligence analysis software, and Foundry, a cloud-native SaaS central operating system for data for commercial users. PLTR stock has had a strange range of prices since going public.</p>\n<p><i>Morningstar</i>&nbsp;provides a&nbsp;more detailed company description:</p>\n<blockquote>\n “Palantir Technologies provides organizations with solutions to manage large disparate data sets in an attempt to gain insight and drive operational outcomes. Founded in 2003, Palantir released its Gotham software platform in 2008, which focuses on the government intelligence and defense sectors. Palantir expanded into various commercial markets with its Foundry software platform in 2016 with the intent of becoming the data operating system for companies and industries. The Denver, Colorado company had 125 customers as of its IPO and roughly splits its revenue between commercial and government customers.”\n</blockquote>\n<p>Named after the&nbsp;seeing stones&nbsp;in J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy novel<i>The Lord of the Rings</i>, Palantir went public in September 2020 at $10 per share and hit a high of $39 in January 2021 before retreating back to todays price of $21.70.</p>\n<p><b>Commercial business growth is a key factor</b></p>\n<p>PLTR’s government related revenues are growing in the 60%-70% range while the commercial business has been growing in the 20% range. There is a great opportunity in the commercial space where Palantir can organize data hidden in legacy enterprise systems at large corporations.</p>\n<p>If the company can modify their technology and services to fit a broader range of customers and industries, these high revenue growth rates may be sustainable.</p>\n<p><b>PLTR Stock Financials</b></p>\n<p>PLTR stock is definitely in a high growth mode that attracts many growth-style thematic investors. Since 2018 revenues have almost doubled from $595 million to $1.1 billion in 2020.

GAAP profitability is many years away due to the massive amount of stock compensation expensed. Stock comp totaled $1.2 billion in 2020 and is expected to be in the $700-$900 million range for the next several years. COO Shyam Sankar&nbsp;said, “…we plan to continue granting equity to our employees and providing them opportunities to share a meaningful upside in the company.”</p>\n<p>Most analysts exclude stock comp to create a pro-forma net income or earnings per share, but stock comp is a real expense that shouldn’t be ignored.
