Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 22 days.
The thesis — published July 13, 2026
Palantir shows strong AI-driven sales growth, high profit margins, repeated earnings beats and lots of cash. Trading activity has been strong and many buyers are active, but the stock's high price relative to earnings makes it sensitive to any slip in execution or shifts in investor sentiment. Recent publicity issues add reputational risk; the short-term opportunity looks better near the low end of the price range.
Primary drivers
- More companies paying for Palantir's AI software and services
- Growing use by governments and large enterprises across projects
- Large cash reserves and high profit margins support stability
- Price action shows lots more people are buying than usual
