Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:PLTR) could reach $917 under a valuation model outlined by investor and commentator Tom Nash, implying about 422.8% upside from a $175.40 reference price, as the company continues to post rapid revenue and profit growth.
Nash Lays Out $917 Base Case
"My current price target in Palantir is $917. That’s my base case," Nash said during a discussion with Shay Boloor and Brad Freeman.
Nash said his model assumes 100% annual revenue growth over five years, a 40% free-cash-flow margin, a price-to-earnings multiple of 60 and a 10% discount rate.
He argued that Palantir’s current growth trajectory could exceed those assumptions, saying the company’s roughly 90%-100% revenue growth rate was "undershooting it" and could go "exponential."
The $917 target represents Nash’s own base-case model and is not company guidance.
