Palantir (PLTR 0.39%) has been on fire over the past years, but volatility has been prevalent. The data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) specialist has generated stock price gains of 1,730% over the past three years, but has fallen by at least 20% at least 10 times. There's more. During the two years between early 2021 and early 2023, Palantir stock plummeted more than 80% -- so it isn't for the squeamish. The stock currently trades for an eye-popping 241 times earnings and 115 times forward earnings (as of this writing), yet one Wall Street analyst calls Palantir "extraordinary." Citi says Palantir stock is a buy Citi analyst Tyler Radke recently made a splash, maintaining a buy rating and raising his price target on Palantir stock to a Street-high $260. For those keeping score at home, this represents potential gains for investors of 70% compared to Thursday's closing price. The analyst cites Palantir's strong results and relentless growth as the basis for his bullish stance. Radke points out that "These revisions mark some of the strongest at scale we've seen in enterprise software." He goes on to say that "Palantir's momentum increasingly stands out in a software market where accelerating growth stories are rare." I think the analyst hit the nail on the head. In the fourth quarter, Palantir's revenue grew 70% year over year, but this belies the underlying strength of the business. The U.S. commercial segment -- which includes the company's Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) -- surged 137% year over year and 28% sequentially, representing 36% of Palantir's total revenue. AIP is attracting not only enterprise customers but also government agencies. Equally as impressive is the company's remaining performance obligation (RPO) -- contractually obligated sales not yet included in revenue -- which surged 143% to $4.2 billion, adding $1.6 billion in the fourth quarter alone. This gives the company a solid foundation for future growth. Expand NASDAQ : PLTR...
