Overview

• Palantir’s shares have surged about 109.7% year-to-date and 501.5% over the past 52 weeks, trading near record levels before its next earnings release.
• Analysts forecast Q2 revenue of roughly $939 million, up 39% year-over-year, and adjusted EPS of $0.14 when results arrive after markets close on August 4.
• Loop Capital’s Mark Schappel lifted his price target to $178 and Wedbush set its goal at $160, yet just two of 12 brokers tracked by Visible Alpha maintain a Buy recommendation.
• The stock slipped nearly 2% Friday as below-forecast U.S. payrolls data fueled concerns over delayed Fed rate cuts and stressed its forward P/E near 270 times earnings.
• Robust U.S. commercial growth—71% in Q1—contrasts with uneven international AI adoption, making next week’s guidance crucial for sustaining expansion.
