BUZZ - Goldman Sachs turns bullish, Palantir shares rise
路透社2026/10/08 14:26On October 8th, Palantir Technologies (stock code: PLTR.O), a data analytics software provider, saw its shares rise by 3.7% to $201.26 in early trading Thursday, after Goldman Sachs upgraded its rating from “Neutral” to “Buy.” The firm set a target price of $230, representing approximately an 18% upside from the previous trading day’s closing price. Goldman Sachs stated that, based on recent discussions with industry experts, its main conclusion is that the stock is expected to enter a new phase of outperformance before 2027. The bank noted that with PLTR shifting towards sovereign AI, customized applications, and its new verticalization strategy, its total addressable market “may be on the verge of another step-change in depth.” Goldman Sachs also mentioned that, given the stock’s underperformance in 2026, its enterprise value/free cash flow (EV/FCF) multiple is currently lower than that of peer growth companies. With Thursday’s rally, PLTR’s share price has increased about 13% this year, lagging behind the Nasdaq .IXIC index’s 18% gain; the current price is about 3% lower than the all-time intraday high of $207.52 set on November 3, 2025. According to LSEG data, among the 33 brokers covering the stock, 24 rate it as “Strong Buy” or “Buy,” 7 as “Hold,” and 2 as “Sell” or “Strong Sell.” The median target price is $212.50, up from $195 three months ago.
