Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 52% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published October 25, 2025
Palantir is benefiting from strong interest in AI, but the stock already looks expensive. A new multi-year deal with Lumen, around $200M, shows real customer demand and could add steady revenue. The price trend is still upward, though it recently cooled. Best to buy on pullbacks or after clear strength returns. In the next 0-3 months, fresh contract wins could keep shares rising if excitement revives and valuation worries stay contained.
Primary drivers
- ~$200M Lumen deal likely adds dependable, repeat software revenue
- Strong run recently; shares paused to catch their breath
- Price bakes in big hopes, so swings and pullbacks are possible
- More companies are starting to adopt AI tools like Palantir's
How it played out
PLTR: thesis only partly played out
Lyra published PLTR at 184.63 on 2025-10-25 for a short-term window ending 2026-01-23. The thesis expected 24% growth and pointed to a ~$200M Lumen deal, a still-upward trend that had cooled, high valuation risk, and wider adoption of Palantir-style artificial intelligence tools.
Inside the window, the stock rose but did not reach 228.94. It peaked at 207.52 on 2025-11-03, with a 12.4% gain, then finished the window at 169.60. The target was never reached. The thesis partly played out early, then missed by the end.
