Overview
- Palantir reported on Aug. 3 Q2 revenue of $1.94 billion, a 92.8% year‑over‑year increase, and earnings per share of $0.41 that beat Wall Street estimates.
- Bank of America and other firms raised earnings forecasts and price targets, with Bank of America keeping a Buy rating and moving its target to $255.
- The stock extended its post‑earnings rally, rising roughly 10% in the session cited by coverage as investors digested the stronger results and revised forecasts.
- Valuation and governance risks remain significant because the shares trade at about a 147 P/E and insiders sold more than 1.1 million shares worth roughly $150.7 million over the past 90 days.
- The market’s next test is whether Palantir can turn record commercial bookings into steady, recurring revenue and higher margins for customers who want on‑premise control of sensitive data.
