Palantir Stock Rises After Rosenblatt Securities Reiterates Buy Rating
On Wednesday at around 10:45 a.m. ET, Palantir Technologies (PLTR) saw its stock rise by approximately 2.8%, driven in part by an updated analysis from Rosenblatt Securities. The firm reiterated its 'buy' rating and maintained a $225 price target for the company's shares. This comes amid growing interest in Palantir’s role in AI data management, highlighted by recent contracts with government agencies like the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and private companies such as Chipotle Mexican Grill. Rosenblatt cited the FAA's launch of an artificial intelligence-powered flight system called SMART at three Washington-area airports. While Palantir did not win this contract directly, it was awarded a sole-source deal for data modernization using its Foundry software. Additionally, investor enthusiasm is building around Chipotle’s pilot project with Palantir’s same platform. Despite the positive momentum and recent stock gains of 76% over three months, some analysts caution that further growth may be challenging given current valuations—trading at roughly 130 times free cash flow. The company's market cap is currently around $445 billion.
