12 Sep
Summary
- Palantir's Q2 sales surged 93%, with U.S. commercial sales up 149%.
- Analyst Gil Luria raised Palantir's stock price target to $250.
- Concerns arise over businesses paying model providers to migrate intellectual property.
Palantir's stock has experienced volatility, but a veteran analyst sees substantial growth ahead. In the second quarter, the company's sales increased by 93%, with a notable 149% surge in U.S. commercial sales, indicating strong demand translating into concrete growth.
DA Davidson analyst Gil Luria has raised his price target for Palantir's stock to $250 from $200, suggesting nearly 50% potential upside from its recent trading price. This bullish outlook is driven by increasing customer sophistication in AI deployment and a desire for greater control over computing infrastructure and models.
This trend highlights a concern, echoed by Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and Palantir CEO Alex Karp, that businesses might inadvertently "pay for intelligence twice" or migrate their intellectual property to third-party AI models. Palantir aims to position itself as the essential software layer coordinating these complex AI choices for businesses.
