Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 6% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published January 15, 2026
Citigroup just upgraded Palantir to Buy with a $235 target, which could push the stock higher in the short term. However, software stocks are being debated as competitors build similar AI offerings, so money can move quickly out of these names. The stock looks like buyers are stepping in, so consider small, careful trades and avoid chasing high spikes.
Primary drivers
- Citi upgrade may bring more buyers and better sentiment
- AI discussion keeps investors watching the stock
- Buyers seem to step in on dips, showing support
- Risk that investors rotate away from software quickly
