The insider move comes after a strong Q2 2026 earnings report. Revenue came in 6.8% above FactSet consensus, and operating income beat estimates by 10.5%. Palantir also posted a Rule of 155 score, up from 127 the prior quarter.
U.S. commercial revenue grew 149% year-over-year. Total contract value in that segment surged more than 150%, with remaining performance obligations more than doubling.
Several analysts raised their price targets following the Q2 beat. UBS moved its target to $220, pointing to revenue growth accelerating to 93% and 2026 guidance raised to 82% growth. Truist went to $223, citing sovereign AI demand. Piper Sandler held its Overweight rating with a $230 target. BofA sits at the top with a $255 target.
Phillip Securities raised its target to $215, bumping fiscal 2026 revenue and net income forecasts by 6%. Benchmark maintained a Hold rating but acknowledged the strong quarter. Twenty-two analysts have revised earnings estimates upward.
The bull case rests on Palantir’s financials. FY2025 revenue hit $4.48 billion, up from $2.87 billion in 2024. Gross margins run at 82.4%, net income margins at 36.3%, and the company carries no debt. Projected cash reserves stand at $8.4 billion.
Not everyone is convinced the price is justified. At 136x trailing earnings and 100x forward earnings, the stock leaves little room for error. The EV/EBITDA sits at 151.1x, and the FCF yield is just 0.8%.
Fair-value models peg intrinsic value at $129.27, a 24% discount to the current price. A market cap of $421 billion makes sustaining near-80% growth rates increasingly difficult mathematically.
Technically, PLTR is coiled in a tight range. Weekly support sits at $168.20, with resistance at $180.04 a level the stock has failed to break through repeatedly. The daily ADX of 15.9 points to a trendless, range-bound market.
The all-time high of $207.52 sits 21% above the current price. A break above $180 with volume could open the door to $186, and then that record. A close below $168 puts $156 in focus.
The weekly StochRSI reading of 96 sits in overbought territory, a level that has historically preceded pullbacks.
