Fri Dec 26 11:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Palantir’s AI Platform Fuels Optimism, Wedbush Predicts $1 Trillion Valuation

Denver, CO – Palantir Technologies (PLTR), a big data analytics firm known for its work with both government agencies and commercial enterprises, is garnering increased attention from analysts who see the company poised to become a leader in the burgeoning artificial intelligence (AI) revolution.

Wedbush analysts, spearheaded by Dan Ives, predict significant commercial success for Palantir in 2026, fueled by the growing popularity of its Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP). They even suggest the company could reach a $1 trillion valuation within the next two to three years.

Palantir’s AIP links large language models to secure operational datasets, enabling AI applications in critical sectors like healthcare and industry. The company boasts a market capitalization of $460.91 billion and its stock has experienced a surge in recent months, driven by robust commercial expansion and the overall AI boom.

Despite a recent dip, the stock has gained 140.82% over the past 52 weeks and 41.28% over the last six months. However, Palantir’s price-to-earnings ratio of 447.92x is significantly higher than the industry average, indicating a stretched valuation.

Recent Q3 results showcased impressive growth. Palantir closed 204 deals of at least $1 billion, with 53 valued at $10 billion or more. Total revenues jumped 63% year-over-year to $1.18 billion, exceeding analyst expectations. Commercial revenue, in particular, saw a significant increase of 73% year-over-year.

While analysts at UBS and Goldman Sachs maintain a “Neutral” rating on the stock, they have raised their price targets, acknowledging Palantir’s earnings beat and its position as a beneficiary of AI deployments. Conversely, RBC Capital holds an “Underperform” rating, citing the U.S.-centric nature of the company’s results and concerns about future profitability.

Wall Street’s consensus rating on Palantir remains a “Hold,” with a mix of “Strong Buy,” “Hold,” “Moderate Sell,” and “Strong Sell” ratings. However, analysts anticipate substantial earnings growth, projecting a 1,800% year-over-year increase in EPS for the current quarter and a 550% annual surge for the current fiscal year.

Despite the cautious consensus, Palantir’s strong performance and potential in the AI space are driving considerable optimism for its future. Whether the company can live up to the lofty expectations and achieve a trillion-dollar valuation remains to be seen.
