Mizuho analysts raised their price target for Palantir shares from $94 to $116 on Wednesday. The bank made this move after company executives spoke at their technology conference in New York. Palantir CFO David Glazer told investors about record demand for the company's AI Platform product. The analysts said Palantir shows strong performance and beats expectations regularly. They also noted that similar companies trade at higher prices.
The new price target uses very high valuations compared to other software companies. Mizuho expects Palantir to trade at 80 times its sales for 2025 and 65 times for 2026. Most enterprise software companies trade at much lower multiples around 13 times sales. The bank thinks Palantir deserves premium pricing because it works with major customers and could grow faster.
Even with their bullish outlook, Mizuho's target price sits 15 percent below where Palantir actually trades. Wall Street analysts struggle to justify the stock's current price using normal valuation methods. Many retail investors have bought Palantir shares based on excitement rather than financial fundamentals. The stock behaves like Tesla, where market feelings matter more than actual business results.
