Here’s Why BofA Remains Upbeat on PLTR Stock
Mora pointed out that Palantir shows no signs of slowing revenue growth, driven by robust enterprise adoption of its AI platforms and expanding government contracts. She praised Palantir for quickly delivering working AI solutions that help human-AI teams make smarter decisions.
She highlighted that Ontology is essential for safely guiding AI use, including large language models and agentic AI, by setting rules, training, and feedback. As AI advances, companies view Palantir’s data platform as critical infrastructure, avoiding the need to build from scratch.
Mora cited Palantir’s recent $448 million two-year U.S. Navy ShipOS award. The Navy will use Palantir’s Foundry and AIP to speed up submarine construction by spotting supply chain bottlenecks, and could also expand the deal to surface ships.
She also noted that Palantir keeps improving its products to simplify operations, work better with open-source models and other apps, speed up development, and strengthen security and controls, all with minimal extra hardware spending.
