Palantir's AI Bet
Palantir is making significant strides in the AI and data analytics space.
Just a few days ago, Accenture (NYSE:ACN) acquired Decho, a U.K.-based technology and AI consultancy specializing in Palantir platforms, to expand its AI capabilities.
The company also surpassed $1 billion in revenue for the first time and raised its full-year outlook in August thanks to the success of its AI platform.
This growth, along with other factors, has led to Palantirâs valuation being described as âwell beyond a Perfect 10 and is rather a âPerfect 100'â by Lead Tech Analyst at I/O Fund, Beth Kindig.
According to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, Palantir has a growth score of 95.82% and a momentum rating of 96.74%. Click here to see how it compares to other leading tech companies.
