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.
摩根士丹利对Palantir Technologies（纳斯达克：PLTR）首次给予"减持"评级，目标价为60美元。这一举措发生在分析师Sanjit Singh接管对该公司的主导覆盖时。
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.
发生了什么：华尔街公司此前在11月移除了对此公司的评级，以重新评估该公司。根据FactSet的数据，目前没有分析师为Palantir设置高于其最近收盘价79.89美元的目标价。最近的目标是75美元，由Wedbush Securities的Dan Ives设定，而最低目标是11美元，由RBC资本市场的Rishi Jaluria设定，MarketWatch周一报道。
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承认，由Alex Karp领导的Palantir在其美国商业和政府部门表现强劲，同时保持了支出纪律。然而，Singh指出，该公司2024年340%的增长主要是由于市盈率扩张，2025年的营业收入预估仅增长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.
尽管Palantir与即将入驻的特朗普政府及联合创始人彼得·蒂尔之间的联系可能会带来潜在的推动，但Singh认为该股票的价格仍然过高，与其高增长软件同行相比，溢价达到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.
"坦白来说，如果高层管理团队和决策者希望快速将他们的人工智能项目投入实际生产环境，Palantir已经成为可供选择的少数合作伙伴之一，"Singh说。
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."
为什么这很重要：摩根士丹利最近的评级在Palantir的重大事件背景下出台。在12月，Palantir的CEO Alex Karp接受了该公司"教派"的状态，因为该股票年初至今上涨了近350%。这种激增是由于强劲的投资者情绪和支持，例如亿万富翁Stanley Druckenmiller对Karp的书籍《技术共和国》的赞扬。
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最近表达了对Palantir的兴趣，称其为他投资俱乐部组合的"保护性知识性毛毯"。这种兴趣突显了该公司对于寻求创新和韧性股票的投资者的吸引力。
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.
