Motley Fool writer Ben McPoland noted on 27 August 2025 that Palantir’s Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) had accelerated commercial growth, with US revenue in Q2 up 93% year-on-year and the company achieving its first $1bn quarter earlier than expected. He cautioned, however, that the stock traded at high valuation multiples – including a forward P/E of 256 – meaning even a modest slowdown could trigger a sharp pullback. McPoland set a 12-month target of $155 and suggested that at current prices, short-term upside looked limited despite long-term growth potential.

Morningstar analyst Mark Giarelli increased the fair value estimate for Palantir to $115 in August 2025, citing record revenue growth and improving margins. He described the company as having a 'narrow moat' but cautioned that trading at around 100 times revenue indicated a gap between price and fundamentals. Giarelli projected continued commercial expansion but emphasised that any slowdown could cause valuation pressure, maintaining a two-star, or overvalued, rating.

What could influence the PLTR share price?

Palantir’s share price is shaped by both company-specific and broader market dynamics, from contract flows to sector sentiment. Below are some of the main factors that could influence the Palantir stock forecast in the coming years.

Government and commercial contracts

Winning new US defence contracts, securing healthcare projects, or expanding its commercial base could support growth and strengthen investor confidence. Conversely, lost tenders, budget cuts, or project delays may reduce expected revenue and weigh on the stock.

Artificial intelligence sector momentum

As a company focused on data integration and artificial intelligence (AI) applications, Palantir often moves with wider industry sentiment. Strong demand for enterprise AI or positive results from peers may lift PLTR share price expectations. Setbacks in adoption, regulatory scrutiny or valuation concerns could, however, trigger corrections.

Earnings performance and guidance

Quarterly earnings remain a key driver. Beating forecasts, raising guidance, or improving margins can support sentiment towards PLTR, although reactions can depend on the wider market backdrop. In contrast, revenue misses, weaker outlooks, or continued losses may prompt short-term declines.

Geopolitical and regulatory environment

Palantir operates in sensitive sectors where policy and regulation are influential. Changes in defence spending or cybersecurity rules could help sustain contracts. Geopolitical tensions or tighter regulation, however, may create headwinds for the share price outlook.

Competitive pressures

Competition from firms such as Snowflake, Databricks and major cloud providers continues to grow. Palantir’s ability to retain clients, expand globally and maintain a technological edge may provide support. Failure to keep pace could erode its position.

Insider activity and dilution

Investor sentiment can also respond to insider actions. Share buybacks or insider purchases may be seen as confidence signals, while large sales or new share issues could be viewed as dilutive, though such moves may also reflect personal liquidity needs.

Macroeconomic backdrop

As a growth stock, Palantir is sensitive to the economic cycle and US interest rates. Lower rates and firm tech valuations may support demand for PLTR, while slower growth or further rate hikes could put pressure on valuations.

PLTR share CFD trading strategies to consider

Palantir CFDs can provide flexibility for different approaches, depending on market conditions and trader preference. As with other share CFDs, applying risk management and using platform tools – such as stop-loss* and take-profit orders – can help manage exposure when trading share CFDs.

Here are some common PLTR CFD trading strategies:

  • Day trading: day traders look to capture intraday moves in the PLTR price, often reacting to news or technical signals.

  • Trend trading: trend traders follow the prevailing direction, using indicators and longer-term charts to stay aligned with the broader trend.

FAQ

Where can I buy PLTR stock?

You can buy Palantir shares (PLTR), listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, via licensed brokers or trading platforms that provide access to US equities, subject to local regulation. Alternatively, you can trade CFDs on the PLTR share price through regulated platforms, enabling speculation on price movements without owning the underlying asset.

Is PLTR a good stock to buy?

Palantir operates in data analytics and software, with growing emphasis on AI applications. Whether it is a suitable option depends on your financial objectives and risk profile. Analysts often point to growth in government and commercial contracts as supportive, while high valuation multiples and competitive pressures are noted risks. Always take your own circumstances into account before making decisions.

Could PLTR rise or fall?

Palantir’s share price may rise on stronger earnings, adoption of new AI products, or significant contract wins. It may also decline if revenue growth slows, margins contract, or if broader sentiment turns against high-valuation technology stocks. Monitoring results, sector trends, and wider economic conditions can provide context for potential moves.

Should I trade or invest in PLTR?

Trading PLTR CFDs offers flexibility for short-term approaches such as day or swing trading, allowing speculation on both rising and falling prices. CFDs are traded on margin – leverage above 1:1 amplifies both your losses and your gains. By comparison, investing involves buying shares directly for longer-term exposure to Palantir’s operations. The approach you choose will depend on your goals, timeframe and tolerance for risk.
