Foolish take

To be clear, I'm a longtime Palantir bull, dating back to when investors could purchase shares of this AI superstar for less than $20. Obviously, a lot has changed since then. As of this writing, Palantir is now the 19th-largest company in America, with a market cap of more than $400 billion.

What's more, shares of this AI giant are now trading at a valuation that is simply eye-popping. Palantir's price-to-sales (P/S) ratio, which compares its stock price to its revenue, is 134x. Bear in mind, the average P/S for the S&P 500 is around 2x.

More to the point, Palantir's P/S ratio is sky-high, even when compared against itself. Two years ago, the company had a P/S ratio of 20x -- still expensive, but relatively affordable compared to its current valuation.

Nevertheless, while valuation is an essential metric for investors to consider, it isn't everything. The reason Palantir's valuation has soared is the same reason its shares have: the company is an AI powerhouse and growing rapidly.

As of its most recent quarter (for the three months ending on June 30, 2025), Palantir's revenue growth stood at 48%. Organizations are still lining up in droves, with Palantir's customer count rising 43% year-over-year.

Given the rapid growth of AI and Palantir's central role within the AI revolution, the company's long-term prospects remain bright despite its lofty valuation. That said, investors would be wise to exercise caution with the stock, as any negative headlines or downward guidance could result in a significant near-term pullback in the company's stock price.
