Sam Badawi explains Palantir, Rocket Lab jumps

Published with TheStreet, the Roundtable 100 ranks 100 publicly traded technology growth assets. The Blue Ribbon Committee analysts score each asset on team, safety, value, innovation and market dominance, with the average forming its power ranking.

Committee member Sam Badawi said the analysts moved Palantir from No. 67 to No. 33 after the AI giant's revenue growth accelerated from 85% to 93% year over year and adjusted operating margin widened to 62%.

"This continues to strengthen through AIP, Foundry, and the Ontology, which are becoming deeply embedded into mission-critical government and enterprise workflows," he remarked.

Badawi attributed the space technology company Rocket Lab's jump from No. 69 to No. 45 to Electron becoming the world's most frequently launched small-lift orbital rocket.

Electron is a two-stage, expendable orbital launch vehicle developed by Rocket Lab which serves the commercial small satellite launch market.

Badawi highlighted Electron executing 15 launches in 2026 and 94 in total, and also cited 62% year-over-year revenue growth, a $2.36 billion backlog, and the upcoming launch vehicle Neutron's planned 13-tonne capacity.

"Profitability is still further out, which keeps me from ranking it higher today, but 62% YoY revenue growth, a $2.36B backlog, rising Electron cadence, and the Neutron opportunity justify the jump to 45," the analyst explained.
