Jim Cramer, during Mad Money's lightning round, called Palantir 'a great spec' and said he’s sticking with it despite its speculative label, while also weighing views on Rocket Lab, Hawkeye 360, Canadian Natural Resources and IBM.
Palantir reported a blowout Q2 FY26 with EPS of $0.41 (beat estimates by 46%), as US commercial revenue jumped 149% year over year, contributing to 93% top-line growth and a Rule of 40 score of 155%. Management lifted FY26 revenue guidance to about $8.15–$8.16 billion with free cash flow of $1.22 billion, while the stock trades at a rich forward multiple (around 108x). 24/7 Wall St. sets a $212.42 price target, implying roughly 21% upside, driven by a large US commercial pipeline and a remaining deal value of $13.1 billion. Risks include an aggressive valuation, SBC costs, and a US-centric revenue mix (over 81%), though bulls argue AI and defense programs (Maven) could sustain growth; the key question is whether the stock can keep up with the pace of execution.
The Motley Fool weighs whether Palantir can turn a $10,000 investment into meaningful gains by 2028, noting Palantir's AI-driven government and growing commercial business but an already premium valuation; a doubling or tripling by 2028 hinges on Palantir sustaining unusually fast growth (around 90% per year in the near term), while a slowdown to Wall Street’s ~49% growth pace could leave the investment flat or modestly higher.

In a Cassandra Unchained update, he said he added to large short positions in Nvidia, Palantir, Oracle and Caterpillar and boosted his Molina position, arguing Molina is undervalued long term. He also added Palantir puts and Nvidia puts expiring in 2026–27, choosing options over direct stock shorts and broadening his bets against AI/semiconductor names.
Palantir Technologies (PLTR) stock jumped about 9% after strong Q2 results, helped by short-covering and broader tech strength. Bank of America reiterated a Buy rating and raised its price target to 255, implying roughly 50% upside from recent levels, citing Palantir’s AI strategy, expanding US commercial contracts, and strong government relationships as key drivers of competitive advantage and future growth.

Morningstar praised growth and margins but warned the stock’s valuation leaves little room for error as Palantir remains in focus for AI-driven growth.

The move cooled later, with the stock trading in overbought territory (RSI ~72) and eyes on resistance around $163.50 and support near $148 as the long-term trend remains under repair. Bearish bets from Michael Burry persist.

U.S. commercial revenue surged 149%, helping lift full-year revenue guidance to about $8.15 billion, with adjusted operating margin at 62% and free cash flow of $1.22 billion. CEO Alex Karp used the call to attack frontier AI labs (notably Anthropic), arguing proprietary data should not feed external models and highlighting Palantir’s Sovereign AI approach. The move signaled a market re-rating of Palantir’s growth, though the stock remains richly valued (high P/E and P/S), and investors will watch Q3 delivery and ongoing commercial traction.
