Palantir Stock Surges on Government Contracts and AI Adoption
Palantir Technologies Inc. shares climbed 3% in extended trading after securing new U.S. government contracts and a French intelligence agency renewal. The data analytics firm now commands a $500 billion market valuation as institutional adoption of its AI tools accelerates.
Wedbush analysts project a $280 price target following 40% commercial revenue growth, while Bank of America maintains its street-high $255 valuation. Defense applications appear particularly strong, with government work now supplementing enterprise adoption.
