Latest Analysts’ Views on PLTR Stock
Analysts have price targets ranging widely from $70 to $230 on PLTR, highlighting sharply different views on the stock’s upside.
Earlier this month, DA Davidson’s top-rated analyst Gil Luria upgraded PLTR from Hold to Buy and raised his price target from $165 to $175. He said Palantir has now “grown into its valuation” as profits have improved, making the stock look more reasonably priced than before. He also believes the broader AI market is starting to work in Palantir’s favor.
Additionally, Luria believes the concern that companies might bypass Palantir and build AI tools directly with firms like OpenAI or Anthropic is now fading. He said more businesses are instead looking for platforms that can work across different AI models. This flexibility allows them to switch models easily if one becomes outdated or unavailable, without rebuilding their systems. According to Luria, this shift “removes the biggest perceived threat” to Palantir.
Earlier, BofA’s five-star-rated analyst Mariana Perez Mora reiterated her Buy rating on PLTR. She believes Palantir has built a strong position in both defense and enterprise AI. Mora said governments continue to rely on the company’s software for mission planning, logistics, and real-time data analysis, making Palantir’s business difficult to replace. She is also positive about Palantir’s Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP). She expects more companies to adopt AIP to roll out AI across their operations, which should support continued growth in the company’s commercial business.
