Palantir Hits All-Time High as Analyst Projects Trillion-Dollar Potential
Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR) surged to a record $198.39 on Wednesday, marking a 162% year-to-date rally. Wedbush analyst Dan Ives maintains a $200 price target, citing the company's "golden path" to becoming the next Oracle. The bullish outlook stems from Palantir's expanding AI capabilities through partnerships with Nvidia and Snowflake, alongside 93% YoY growth in U.S. commercial revenue.
Government contracts, including a $385 million deal with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and expansion in Poland's defense sector, further bolster confidence. Ives anticipates Palantir will exceed Q3 earnings expectations when results are released November 3, driven by product enhancements and global talent acquisition.
