Palantir Upgraded to Strong Buy with $255 Target on Defense and Commercial Growth

Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR) maintains its "Strong Buy" rating with a $255 price target, supported by its deepening ties with the U.S. military. Recent analysis identifies the company as a potential major beneficiary of the proposed $185 billion 'Golden Dome' missile-defense program. Given that software is a critical component of such advanced defense systems, this initiative could translate into billions of dollars in new business for Palantir. This adds to the momentum from the Maven Smart System, which recently became an official Pentagon Program of Record. On the commercial side, the company continues to see robust growth through its partnership with GE Aerospace and high average revenue per customer. While AI-related technical risks persist, Palantir's strategic positioning in national security infrastructure provides high visibility for long-term earnings.
