ℹ️ How are these calculated?
🎯 Investment Thesis
Beat earnings but stock slipped — classic "buy the rumor, sell the news." Citi upgraded to Buy $260 (from Neutral), Phillip Securities Buy $208. Zacks calls it "the AI defense stock Wall Street can't stop buying." Government contracts turning into "cash machine" with $4.6B cash and zero debt. 35% below ATH ($208→$134) creates entry vs prior ATH premium.
⚠️ Key Risk
Even after pullback, 74x forward PE is the most expensive stock in our universe. UBS Neutral $180 and DA Davidson Neutral $180 both lowered PTs — caution growing. Insider selling consistent. Revenue only $2.9B for a $320B company — needs continued hyper-growth. If AI hype cools, PLTR sells off hardest.
By The Numbers
Event Impact
AIP platform leading enterprise AI deployment. Software not infra.
Core defense intelligence platform. Benefits from military ops.
Government quantum intelligence contracts — speculative.
Defense + intelligence contracts benefit from China threat.
Zero debt, $4.6B cash. Rate changes minimal direct impact. Weaker dollar mild positive for international expansion.
No energy grid relevance.
Government contracts are core revenue. DOGE risk on consulting, but Palantir is a platform not a body shop. "Trump Accounts" transparency mandate could drive MORE Palantir adoption.
