Overview
- Jefferies lowered its rating on Palantir to underweight and set a $70 price target that it says is about 46% below recent trading levels.
- The downgrade came after Palantir posted a first‑quarter revenue jump of 85%, which the bank says may be hard to sustain.
- Analyst Brent Thill argues the stock trades at roughly 31 times expected 2027 revenue, a level he says requires a heroic durability assumption.
- The note says the shares could wobble if investor excitement about AI cools or if growth headlines slow even a little.
- Jefferies’ view mirrors short theses from Michael Burry, while figures like Andrew Left and Jay Ritter have also bet the stock is overpriced.
