Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 48 days.
The thesis — published June 17, 2026
Palantir is well positioned in AI software, earns healthy margins, and has a very strong cash position, which supports operating through ups and downs. Recent legal losses and a contract exit in Europe raise the chance of lost business there. Price sensitivity and headline risk limit strong conviction despite rebound potential near support.
Primary drivers
- Growing demand for AI software from government and business buyers
- A strong cash position helps the company handle volatility
- European legal and contract news raises the chance of lost deals
- High valuation means results must stay strong to justify the price
