Palantir Technologies has seen a remarkable surge in its stock price, climbing over 400% in the past year, driven by strong demand for its AI-powered solutions. Despite the impressive growth, analysts are divided on the stock’s future, with concerns about its high valuation and share-based compensation. The company’s forward price-to-sales ratio of 86.7x significantly exceeds the sector average, prompting some analysts to predict a potential downside.
Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives remains bullish, raising his price target to $160 and maintaining a Buy rating, citing Palantir’s promising AI strategy and potential to become a major player in the AI market. However, other analysts, like Citi’s Tyler Radke, express caution, highlighting challenges in the European market and the need for Palantir to justify its elevated valuation. Overall, Palantir holds a Hold consensus rating from Wall Street, with a price target suggesting a 23% downside from current levels.
