Palantir Stock to Reach $1 Trillion, Analyst Says, Despite Valuation Concerns

Wedbush analyst Dan Ives predicts Palantir's market cap will exceed $1 trillion within three years, citing robust demand for its AI offerings. The company's stock has delivered 2,000% gains in under three years, and Ives maintains his "Outperform" rating, raising his price target to $200. However, other analysts recommend caution due to valuation concerns.

Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR) continues to generate significant buzz in the tech and investment communities, with Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives predicting that the company's market capitalization could exceed $1 trillion within the next three years. This prediction is based on the robust demand for Palantir's AI offerings and the company's impressive financial performance.

Since the beginning of 2025, Palantir's stock has surged by more than 140%, with the company reporting $1 billion in quarterly revenues for the first time, far ahead of analyst expectations. This milestone has further fueled investor confidence in the company's growth trajectory. Dan Ives, who runs the Wedbush AI Revolution ETF and holds Palantir among its top holdings, has labeled the company "the Messi of AI," highlighting its unique position in the market [1].

Ives maintains his "Outperform" rating on Palantir and has raised his price target to $200, citing "continued hyper growth demand for the company's AI product suite." If Palantir's stock achieves this target, it would represent a 9.8% premium on Thursday's closing price. This optimism is backed by Palantir's CEO, Alex Karp, who recently stated that the company is "obliterating" the "Rule of 40," a key metric investors use to evaluate potential returns on tech stocks [2].

However, not all analysts share this bullish outlook. Some investors have expressed concerns about Palantir's valuation, with the company now trading at a P/E multiple of approximately 276×, one of the highest in the market. Despite these concerns, Ives warns that focusing solely on valuation could lead to missing out on the company's growth trajectory, as it has done with other transformational tech stocks in the past [1].

Palantir's recent earnings reports have been impressive, with the company reporting a 48% year-over-year growth in revenue and a 144% increase in net income. The company has also secured several major contracts, including a $10 billion software deal with the U.S. Army, which underscores the government's confidence in Palantir's capabilities [3].

In conclusion, while Palantir faces challenges in terms of valuation, its impressive financial performance and robust demand for its AI offerings suggest that the company is well-positioned to achieve its goal of becoming a trillion-dollar company within the next three years.
