FCF grew 194.3% year over year, outpacing the sector median 25.7% by +656%, and Debt/EBITDA of 0.0× sits -100% below the sector median 0.9× — a balance sheet with almost no financial strain. The current ratio of 7.11 runs well above the sector median 1.33, reinforcing that picture, and the F-Score of 8/9 confirms broad fundamental health across profitability, leverage, and efficiency. Where the numbers turn uncomfortable is price: EV/EBITDA of 277.7× exceeds the sector median 31.3× by +787%, and P/B of 54.1× sits +422% above the sector median 10.4×, placing valuation in the bottom quartile of the sector. The forward picture is mixed — the market models continued strong earnings growth, and PLTR has beaten consensus estimates in recent quarters, yet consensus tends to run roughly 10% optimistic over long horizons, and realized three-year EPS data is not available to test that expectation against the record.

The market prices in earnings growth; analyst sentiment is steady; has mostly beaten consensus.
Price against next year's expected earnings. The forward P/E already carries analyst optimism — read it alongside the “Versus consensus” line.
A forward P/E below the current one means the market expects earnings to grow; above it, to fall. The historical growth is realized figures from SEC filings, not a forecast.
The three-month change in the share of positive analyst ratings. This is sentiment, not an earnings-estimate revision, and not a call to act.
When results land on 2026-11-02, track revenue growth year over year alongside free cash flow — PLTR's FCF growth already runs 7.6× above the sector median. A sustained FCF trend would reinforce the F-Score's 4/4 profitability reading; a reversal would warrant a fresh look at the valuation premium.
Pull the most recent 10-K at SEC EDGAR and focus on the revenue concentration disclosures and government contract renewal terms. With EV/EBITDA at 31.3× against the sector median of 3.5×, understanding what sustains that premium — or could compress it — is the critical question management's discussion should answer.
From the alphabetical same-sector table in section 06, select two or three companies yourself and line up EV/EBITDA alongside current ratio. PLTR sits at 31.3× EV/EBITDA with a current ratio of 1.33× the sector median — placing those figures next to peers you choose will show where the valuation spread is widest relative to liquidity.

The last few quarters are recent context, not a fixed rate. Consensus for near quarters is set low, so companies clear it routinely; over long horizons the forecasts run the other way, too high.
