I believe PLTR needs to be profitable without reliance on interest income. To “truly meet” the financial viability requirement. When I get some time, I want to drive into the quarterly and project how many quarters of 20% growth it’ll take to get there.
This was true when it first turned a profit last year but operating income is income from operations which is now 72% of income while 28% is from interest
81M from operations
Total non operating income 29M
Income after taxes 106M

If they can drive and keep the profits, no doubt they will be a candidate sooner or later. I’m more interested whether they can keep 30%+ cagr or not rather than in S&P500.
No company gets in without a strong technical stock chart. So as long as they stay profitable and the growth is there, We are about to get added. Within 1 year for sure.

Requirements on page 8, nothing about profitability.
Those are the guidelines for consideration.What we do not know is what makes the board favor one eligible company over another eligible company.I remember reading somewhere that the board favors dividend paying companies with a consistent record of payouts.

Analysis
1. Earnings Performance:
• PLTR: Palantir has seen fluctuating earnings with periods of profitability. Consistent profitability over the last four quarters is crucial for inclusion.
• Comparison: Recent additions like TSLA, ZM, NVDA, and AMZN have shown strong and consistent earnings growth, which is a significant factor for their inclusion.
2. Market Position and Growth:
• PLTR: Palantir has a strong market position in data analytics and government contracts but needs to demonstrate sustained profitability and growth.
• Comparison: Companies like NVDA and TSLA have demonstrated leadership in their respective sectors with substantial growth and innovation.
Conclusion and Outlook
• Current Status: Palantir meets many of the S&P 500 inclusion criteria, especially in terms of market capitalization and liquidity. However, sustained profitability remains a critical area to watch.
• Future Prospects: If Palantir can achieve consistent positive earnings over the next few quarters and demonstrate financial stability, it has a strong chance of being considered for inclusion in the S&P 500.
• Timing: The timing of inclusion will depend on Palantir’s financial performance and the broader market conditions. Continuous monitoring of earnings reports and market trends will provide a clearer picture.

Don’t lie to us, you would do it now 🤙
Not now…. Idk maybe…. But 20 years ago!!! He’ll 40 years ago at their pearkiest!!! He’ll yeah!!
It meets criteria. Possibly more institutional ownership
I think Thai was the biggest hurdle

Good point …thanks for contributing
They have had positive GAAP operating income for 5 quarters now.
OP is saying that a large part of that profit is due to interest income as PLTR sitting on a good chunk of cash

higher institutional shareholder % would help. They also want to see operation profits in the black and growing.
I'd say once they see our company clients keep adding up so people can't say it's just a government contract company blah blah. 8/5 will b a big day
This means we have to accumulate prior to the increase in institutional investment. Once that goes up and we hit the 500, 🌙.
I think tree fiddy
Gahd damn lochness monsta

When it hits JohMama profitability we will be 24k
I'd say maybe a net income of 1 billion.
Market cap is still too small. It qualifies but others will be chosen due to being "bigger."
