P/OP ratio Because P/E ratio is calculated using net income, the ratio can be sensitive to nonrecurring earnings and capital structure, analysts may use price to operating profit. Palantir Technologies Inc. P/OP ratio decreased from Q1 2024 to Q2 2024 but then increased from Q2 2024 to Q3 2024 exceeding Q1 2024 level.
