Palantir Trades In The Red During Monday Premarket As Morgan Stanley Assigns 'Underweight' Rating To PLTR Stock After 379% Gain In A Year
Despite Palantir's potential boost from its connections to the incoming Trump administration and co-founder Morgan Stanley has initiated an 'underweight' rating for Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:PLTR), with a price target set at $60. This move comes as analyst Sanjit Singh takes over lead coverage of the company.
摩根士丹利對Palantir Technologies（納斯達克：PLTR）首次給予"減持"評級，目標價爲60美元。這一舉措發生在分析師Sanjit Singh接管對該公司的主導覆蓋時。
What Happened: The Wall Street firm had previously removed its rating in November to reassess the company. Currently, no analysts following Palantir have set a target price above its recent close of $79.89, according to FactSet data. The closest target is $75, set by Dan Ives of Wedbush Securities, while the lowest is $11, from Rishi Jaluria of RBC Capital Markets, MarketWatch reported on Monday.
發生了什麼：華爾街公司此前在11月移除了對此公司的評級，以重新評估該公司。根據FactSet的數據，目前沒有分析師爲Palantir設置高於其最近收盤價79.89美元的目標價。最近的目標是75美元，由Wedbush Securities的Dan Ives設定，而最低目標是11美元，由RBC資本市場的Rishi Jaluria設定，MarketWatch週一報道。
Singh acknowledges that Palantir, led by Alex Karp, has shown strong performance in its U.S. commercial and government sectors while maintaining expense discipline. However, Singh notes that the company's 340% gain in 2024 was largely due to multiple expansion, with revenue estimates for 2025 only increasing by 10%.
Singh承認，由Alex Karp領導的Palantir在其美國商業和政府部門表現強勁，同時保持了支出紀律。然而，Singh指出，該公司2024年340%的增長主要是由於市盈率擴張，2025年的營業收入預估僅增長10%。
Despite Palantir's potential boost from its connections to the incoming Trump administration and co-founder Peter Thiel, Singh argues that the stock remains highly priced, with an 80% premium compared to its high-growth software peers.
儘管Palantir與即將入駐的特朗普政府及聯合創始人彼得·蒂爾之間的聯繫可能會帶來潛在的推動，但Singh認爲該股票的價格仍然過高，與其高增長軟體同行相比，溢價達到80%。
"To put it bluntly, if executive management teams and decision makers want to get their AI initiative into live production environment rapidly, Palantir has emerged as one the select few partners to call," Singh said.
"坦白來說，如果高層管理團隊和決策者希望快速將他們的人工智能項目投入實際生產環境，Palantir已經成爲可供選擇的少數合作伙伴之一，"Singh說。
Why It Matters: The recent rating by Morgan Stanley comes amid a backdrop of significant developments for Palantir. In December, Palantir's CEO Alex Karp embraced the company's "cult" status, as the stock soared nearly 350% year-to-date. This surge was fueled by strong investor sentiment and endorsements, such as billionaire Stanley Druckenmiller praising Karp's book, "The Technological Republic."
爲什麼這很重要：摩根士丹利最近的評級在Palantir的重大事件背景下出台。在12月，Palantir的CEO Alex Karp接受了該公司"教派"的狀態，因爲該股票年初至今上漲了近350%。這種激增是由於強勁的投資者情緒和支持，例如億萬富翁Stanley Druckenmiller對Karp的書籍《技術共和國》的讚揚。
Furthermore, Jim Cramer recently expressed interest in Palantir, describing it as a "protective intellectual blanket" for his investing club portfolio. This interest highlights the company's appeal to investors seeking innovative and resilient stocks.
此外，Jim Cramer最近表達了對Palantir的興趣，稱其爲他投資俱樂部組合的"保護性知識性毛毯"。這種興趣突顯了該公司對於尋求創新和韌性股票的投資者的吸引力。
Price Action: Palantir stock was down by 1.59% at the time of writing during pre-market hours on Monday, as per Benzinga Pro. The stock has risen 379% in a year.
