THE ECONOMIST PICKS ALEX KARP AS CEO OF THE YEAR
“Among our finalists, however, it is Mr Karp of Palantir who stands out. Over the course of 2024 his company's market capitalisation has rocketed from $36bn to over $180bn. Its underlying financial performance has been impressive. Palantir is expanding rapidly, with analysts expecting it to notch up revenue growth of 26% in 2024, up ten percentage points from the year before. It has also become much more profitable, with operating margins doubling to 15% in the 12 months to September 2024. In a sign of its ascendancy, Palantir was added to the S&P 500 index of America's most valuable companies in September.”
