Palantir AI deals, controversy and valuation dip
Entities: Citigroup · Oppenheimer · Michael Burry · Federal Reserve · Palantir Technologies Inc.
Overview
Palantir’s AI‑driven contract expansion kept the company in the spotlight through mid‑July 2026. A July 5 partnership with Nvidia sparked double‑digit share gains, but the stock slipped 1.5% to $132.38 on July 14 as analysts diverged: D.A. Davidson and DZ Bank kept buy ratings with $175 targets, RBC stayed underperform at $90, President Capital raised its target to $133, Phillip Securities to $202 and Rosenblatt to $225. Institutional holdings shifted – Vanguard, State Street, Geode Capital, Norges Bank and Invesco added shares while Midwest Professional Planners trimmed its stake. Morningstar valued Palantir at $153, noting strong growth and a high retention moat but flagging insider sales and the NHS contract as risks. CEO Alex Karp later grouped Palantir with Nvidia, Micron and SK Hynix as the only AI‑infrastructure firms delivering solid growth, citing a Rule‑of‑40 score that rose to 145% from 83% a year earlier. Investor confidence was signaled by Zhang Financial’s 124% increase in its position on July 18.
Ahead of its second‑quarter earnings, Palantir’s shares fell 5.9% to $123.72 on July 28. CitiGroup cut its price target from $225 to $200, while Oppenheimer kept an “Outperform” view at the same level. Short‑seller Michael Burry increased his bet, and insider sales added pressure – the chief technology officer sold about $24 million of stock and a board member sold over $2 million. The decline coincided with a Federal Reserve rate‑policy meeting, adding broader market headwinds to the valuation volatility.
