Where Will Palantir Stock Be in 3 Years?
With its shares up 58% year to date, Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR) embarrassed its naysayers -- it has been repeatedly testing new highs despite calls of overvaluation. But on some level, the excitement is understandable.
Palantir operates at the intersection of two of the market's biggest hype drivers right now: generative AI and President Donald Trump's election. But could these catalysts help the data analytics giant justify its valuation over the next three years and beyond?
Since its initial public offering in 2020, Palantir enjoyed a bit of a cult following, and it isn't hard to see why many people find the data analytics business exciting. In its early days, it was partially backed by the CIA's investment arm, Q-Tel, and its software helped the U.S. track down Osama bin Laden in 2011. Recently, the company began offering its Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP), designed to offer real-time insights to operators in high-stakes environments like battlefields. Similar technology is already being used by the armed forces of Ukraine and Israel in their respective conflicts.
