Palantir “to benefit from a tidal wave of federal spending”
Wedbush tech analyst and Wall Street’s most flamboyant dresser Dan Ives is out with a new bullish screed on Palantir, the company he’s taken to calling the “Messi of AI,” hiking his price target from $75 to $90, a roughly 15% premium to where the stock is currently trading.
He writes:
“PLTR continues to see unprecedented demand for [AI Platform] based on our recent checks across both commercial and government landscapes by taking AI solutions that solve meaningful problems across organizations at enterprise scale, driving new customer conversions and existing deal expansions. With an enhanced product portfolio of advanced AI capabilities that will be safely, securely, and responsibly deployed for the US government, PLTR also continues generating further momentum within the federal sector across various agencies.
To this point we believe the Trump Administration represents an additional tailwind for PLTR with AI initiatives within the US government including the DoD accelerating as AI remains a strategic focus on the federal front. The stepped up AI investments now being seen under the Trump Administration with Project Stargate should benefit Palantir on the government vertical as more focus within the Beltway heads down the strategic AI infrastructure build-out stage. In essence, Palantir is in the sweet spot to benefit from a tidal wave of federal spending on AI.”
