Think Palantir Stock Is Too Expensive? Here Are 10 Billion Reasons to Reconsider.
Key Points Palantir stock has been on a blistering rally over the past couple of years, sparked by the company's state-of-the-art artificial intelligence (AI) tools. The meteoric rise in the stock price has led to an equally mind-boggling rise in its valuation. While its multiple can be off-putting, recent developments suggest Palantir's growth spurt will continue. 10 stocks we like better than Palantir Technologies › The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) in late 2022 marked a paradigm shift in technology. These next-generation algorithms can streamline tasks like never before, create original content, and increase productivity -- saving time and money in the process. Most experts believe it's still early days for the adoption of the technology, but its impact is already being felt across a broad cross-section of processes. One of the primary beneficiaries of these vast secular tailwinds is Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR). The company boasts more than two decades of expertise in data analytics and AI, and quickly developed a cutting-edge generative AI tool that could soon become the company's principal breadwinner. Palantir's valuation represents a significant obstacle for some investors, but recent developments help illustrate why the stock isn't nearly as expensive as it might seem. Decades of expertise Before we address the elephant in the room, it's worth taking a moment to understand how Palantir fits into the expanding AI ecosystem before addressing why the stock's multiple has become so divisive. Palantir recognized the vast potential of AI and established an early foothold. Thanks to its decades of expertise, the company quickly developed its Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP). The system consolidates information from various software systems for analysis, helping government and business leaders to make data-driven decisions. The biggest hurdle to adopting Palantir's software is the lack of expertise and experience among decision-makers necessary to make an informed choice. To that end, Palantir offered a novel solution in the form of intensive hands-on-keyboard sessions dubbed "boot camps," which last from one to five days. Developers and executives are partnered with Palantir engineers to familiarize themselves with AIP while creating solutions to their real-world business problems. By providing them with the training and experience they need to address critical business issues, Palantir demonstrates the value of its system and is able to close a growing number of seven-figure deals within just days or weeks after hosting a session. For example, in the second quarter, the number of deals worth $1 million or more doubled, while deals worth $5 million or more increased 5x. A well-deserved premium Even bears acknowledge the success of Palantir's strategy. The company reported its second-quarter results after the market close on Monday, and its performance was laudable. Revenue of $1 billion climbed 48% year over year and 14% sequentially. This fueled adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.16, which surged 78%. To put those results in context, analysts' consensus estimates were calling for revenue of $939 million and adjusted EPS of $0.14, so Palantir blew the doors off expectations. Those numbers are impressive in their own right, but the devil's in the details. Palantir's U.S. commercial segment, which includes AIP, grew 93% year over year and 20% quarter over quarter, now accounting for nearly 31% of all sales. Furthermore, the segment's customer count grew 64%, and the remaining deal value -- or contractually obligated sales not yet included in revenue -- soared 145%. The company's accelerating results have driven a blistering run for the stock, which is up 549% over the past year (as of market close on Monday) and has increased more than 1,590% since its IPO in late 2020. The meteoric rise in its stock price has led to a commensurate ballooning of its valuation. Palantir is currently selling for 694 times earnings and 128 times sales, so the stock isn't for the faint of heart. Yet these results and another recent development help illustrate why some investors are willing to pony up for Palantir stock, despite its lofty price tag. You get what you pay for The excitement surrounding generative AI often overshadows Palantir's legacy business of providing AI solutions for the U.S. government and its allies. But the company just scored a major win in its government segment. Late last week, Palantir signed a major contract with the U.S. Army, worth as much as $10 billion over the next decade, the company's largest contract to date. The agreement "establishes a comprehensive framework for the Army's future software and data needs," according to the press release. Furthermore, the deal aggregates 75 contracts into a single enterprise deal, which provides purchasing flexibility, "while removing contract and reseller pass-through fees." Perhaps more importantly, it accelerates (emphasis mine), "the delivery of proven commercial software to warfighters." This announcement comes just weeks after Palantir's Maven Smart System contract with the U.S. Army was expanded to a total project value of $1.3 billion, a new milestone for the company. Earlier this year, Palantir Technologies stock took a hit when U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth ordered the Defense Department to cut existing budgets by 8% each year over the next five years. Investors feared these cuts would eventually trickle down to Palantir. However, as this contract illustrates, Palantir's proven AI solutions continue to be in high demand. There's no denying the stock's valuation is pricey, but enterprises and businesses are lining up to avail themselves of Palantir's expertise. The accelerating demand suggests Palantir could continue to generate double-digit growth for much of the next decade, according to Wedbush analyst Dan Ives. He further posits that Palantir's market cap, which stood at $378 billion on Monday, will increase by more than 164% to $1 trillion over the next two to three years -- despite the stock's frothy valuation. Ark Investment Management CEO Cathie Wood goes even further: "CEO Alex Karp believes that [Palantir] will become the largest pure-play enterprise AI software company in the world. I believe him." Palantir shareholders who have held through the turbulence have already been richly rewarded. For those looking five to 10 years into the future, the runway ahead is long.

Otter Tail Corporation Announces Second Quarter Earnings and Increases Annual Earnings Guidance
FERGUS FALLS, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Otter Tail Corporation (Nasdaq: OTTR) today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. SUMMARY Produced diluted earnings per share of $1.85 in the second quarter of 2025. Increased midpoint of 2025 earnings per share guidance by $0.38 to $6.26 per share. Return on equity of 17% over the trailing twelve months. CEO OVERVIEW 'We are pleased with our second quarter financial results,' said President and CEO Chuck MacFarlane. 'Across our businesses, our team members remain committed to our mission - delivering value through building strong electric and manufacturing platforms - amidst dynamic market conditions. "During the second quarter, severe weather moved through Otter Tail Power's service territory, resulting in significant property and infrastructure damage, as well as tree loss. Approximately 30 percent of our customers experienced an interruption in electric service due to the storms. Our employees worked tirelessly to restore power to our customers as quickly and safely as possible. 'Beyond our storm response, Otter Tail Power continues to perform well, executing on our significant capital investment plan and regulatory priorities. We secured approval to directly assign and recover the capital investment for our two solar development projects from the Minnesota and South Dakota Commissions. We look forward to adding 345 MW of cost-effective solar generation to our portfolio to better serve our customers. Additionally, for the first time since 2018, we filed a request with the South Dakota Public Utilities Commission for permission to increase our electric rates by approximately $5.7 million. 'Our Manufacturing segment continues to navigate soft end market demand but remains well positioned to respond when market conditions improve. Our recently completed BTD Georgia facility is ramping up to full production capability and we look forward to being able to better serve our growing customers in the southeast. 'Plastics segment results outpaced our expectations for the second quarter. We continue to benefit from strong product demand and higher sales volumes as the sales prices of PVC pipe continue to recede. 'We are uplifting our 2025 diluted earnings per share guidance for the Plastics segment, increasing our consolidated guidance to a range of $6.06 to $6.46 from our previous range of $5.68 to $6.08. 'Our strategic diversification continues to serve us and our stakeholders well even as we return to more normalized levels of Plastics segment earnings, generating incremental cash for us to reinvest into our significant utility rate base growth plan. We remain confident in our ability to deliver on our investment targets, producing an earnings per share growth of 6 to 8 percent.' QUARTERLY DIVIDEND On August 4, 2025, the corporation's Board of Directors declared a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.525 per share. This dividend is payable September 10, 2025 to shareholders of record on August 15, 2025. CASH FLOWS AND LIQUIDITY Our consolidated cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $159.4 million compared to $223.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, with the decrease primarily due to the timing of fuel cost and rider recoveries from our utility customers and the timing of payments for operating costs, as well as a decrease in earnings. Investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 included capital expenditures of $124.2 million. Capital expenditures during the period were largely within our Electric segment, including investments in wind repowering, advanced metering infrastructure, and transmission line projects. Financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 included the issuance of $100.0 million of long-term debt at Otter Tail Power; the proceeds of which were used to repay short-term borrowings, fund capital investments, and support operating activities. Financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 also included net repayments of short-term borrowings totaling $69.6 million and dividend payments of $44.0 million. As of June 30, 2025, we had $170.0 million and $211.0 million of available liquidity under our Otter Tail Corporation and Otter Tail Power credit facilities, respectively, along with $307.2 million of available cash and cash equivalents, for total available liquidity of $688.2 million. Electric Segment The following table shows heating and cooling degree days as a percent of normal. Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 2024 Heating Degree Days 86.5% 68.8% Cooling Degree Days 114.2% 48.8% Expand The following table summarizes the estimated effect on diluted earnings per share of the difference in retail kilowatt-hour (kwh) sales under actual weather conditions and expected retail kwh sales under normal weather conditions for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Operating Revenues increased $15.9 million primarily due to increases in fuel recovery and rider revenues, and the impact of favorable weather compared to the same period last year. Increased fuel recovery revenue was primarily driven by an increase in the price of natural gas and the cost of market energy. Increased rider revenue was largely from the recovery of our investments in our wind repowering projects. Net Income increased $0.7 million primarily due to the increase in revenues, as described above, partially offset by increased operating and maintenance expenses, including planned outage costs at Coyote Station, and increased depreciation and interest expense associated with our rate base investments. Manufacturing Segment Operating Revenues decreased $18.0 million primarily due to a 9% decrease in sales volumes, with declines experienced across several end markets, including agriculture, recreational vehicles, lawn and garden, and construction. Sales volumes were down at our metal fabrication business due to soft end market demand and inventory management efforts by manufacturers and dealers. A 7% decrease in steel costs, which are passed through to customers, also contributed to the decrease in operating revenues. Net Income decreased $3.4 million primarily due to lower sales volumes and enhanced profit margins in the second quarter of 2024, which benefited from the positive impact of the timing of pass-through steel cost fluctuations and the selling of lower cost inventory. The impacts of decreased operating revenues and profit margins were partially offset by a decrease in general and administrative costs. Plastics Segment Operating Revenues decreased $7.2 million primarily due to a 15% decrease in sales prices compared to the same period last year, continuing the steady decline in product pricing from peak market conditions in late 2022. The impact of decreased sales prices was partially offset by an 11% increase in sales volumes, driven by strong distributor and end-market demand for our products, coupled with increased production capacity following the completion of our expansion project at Vinyltech in late 2024. Active infrastructure investment and construction activity across our sales territories continue to contribute to strong demand for our products. Net Income decreased $7.5 million primarily due to decreased sales prices, as described above, partially offset by the 11% increase in sales volumes and a 15% decrease in PVC resin cost driven by global supply and demand dynamics which continues to result in elevated supply. Corporate Net Income increased $0.9 million primarily due to increased market-based gains on our corporate-owned life insurance policy investments. 2025 OUTLOOK We are increasing our 2025 diluted earnings per share guidance to a range of $6.06 to $6.46. We expect our earnings mix in 2025 to be approximately 37% from our Electric segment and 63% from our Manufacturing and Plastics segments, net of corporate costs. Our anticipated earnings mix in 2025 deviates from our long-term expected earnings mix of 65% Electric / 35% Non-Electric as we expect Plastics segment earnings to remain elevated in 2025 compared to our long-term view of normal earnings for this segment. The segment components of our 2025 diluted earnings per share guidance compared with actual earnings for 2024 are as follows: We are maintaining our earnings guidance for our Electric and Manufacturing segments and maintaining our Corporate cost outlook. We are increasing our Plastics segment earnings guidance based on: Better than expected financial results in the second quarter of 2025, Lower material costs anticipated for the remainder of the year, as the forecasted price of PVC resin has declined, and Revised expectations for PVC pipe pricing for the second half of the year.
