Jim Cramer drops jaw-dropping price target on Palantir stock post-earnings
Jim Cramer drops jaw-dropping price target on Palantir stock post-earnings originally appeared on TheStreet. Palantir () didn't need a hype man following its blowout Q2 showing, but it got one anyway in veteran analyst Jim Cramer. The AI bellwether dished out a near-billion-dollar quarter with triple-digit income growth. On top of that, guidance popped, with Palantir flexing its AI muscle. With one of its strongest quarterly earnings prints, longtime Palantir bull Jim Cramer rushed in, with arguably his boldest call on the stock to date. Though it potentially raises some eyebrows, those who've tracked his predictions know it's not without precedent. Cramer's been riding Palantir stock for years and is not alone this time. However, there's something about the explosiveness in Palantir's Q2 showing that positions it in the AI arms race more solidly than ever. Palantir lifts forecast as AI push powers record growth Palantir's Q2 earnings report blew past market expectations with considerable aplomb. Total sales were up a powerful 48% YOY to roughly $1.0 billion, obliterating the $938 million estimate. On the bottom-line front, its adjusted EPS came in at 16 cents, topping estimates by a couple of cents (roughly a 14.3% upside surprise).The growth was broad-based. Commercial sales jumped a mind-boggling 93% to $306 million, while U.S. government sales surged 53% to $426 million. That indicates that enterprise clients and federal agencies are leaning harder into Palantir's AI-powered software stack. CEO Alex Karp lauded the 'astonishing impact of AI leverage' for Q2's strength. He talked up the success of the company's investments in generative AI, high-performance chips, and the robust Foundry and AIP platforms. Also, by layering in AI models directly into its infrastructure, Palantir is efficiently streamlining everything from logistics and supply chains to predictive maintenance. That's a big part of why its net income spiked 144% year-over-year to $327 million. Palantir's Rule of 40 score (a metric that combines revenue growth and profit margins) hit an eye-popping 94%, one of the highest in its niche. On top of that, operating margins expanded, while adjusted free cash flow stayed strong, solidifying the company's profitability position. Looking ahead, management bumped its full-year 2025 revenue guidance to $4.14–$4.15 billion, up from a prior $3.89–$3.90 billion. U.S. commercial sales are expected to rise to over 85% year-over-year. And for Q3, Palantir forecasts a whopping 50% top-line growth, the fastest sequential increase in its rich history. These results underscore Palantir's deepening role as a foundational AI infrastructure provider, with a massive long-term growth runway ahead. Jim Cramer sees $200 ahead for Palantir Jim Cramer didn't hold back after Palantir's rollicking earnings, as he doubled down on his long-running bull thesis like it never left. 'Palantir, when it was $50, I said it would go to $100; when it was at $100, I said it would go to $150,' he said. With shares now breaching $160, Cramer added, the 'next stop is $200,' pointing to another 20%+ bump from current levels. A big part of Cramer's bull case on Palantir is the Big Data giant's growing traction as a go-to enterprise AI across federal and commercial sectors is soaring, underscoring the depth of the company's unique data analytics backbone. For Cramer, this is far from hype and more about Palantir's positioning. The company is 'uniquely positioned to capitalize on soaring enterprise AI spending,' he said. Additionally, Cramer pushed back against skeptics, throwing shade at the naysayers. 'Doomerism,' he called it. All that noise about AI limitations and overvaluation? He says it's just the shorts missing the broader outlook. Wedbush's Dan Ives calls Palantir 'Messi of AI' after blowout quarter Cramer wasn't the only analyst showering praise on Palantir post its Q2 showing. Veteran tech analyst Dan Ives of Wedbush hailed the quarter as a 'blowout across the board' while reiterating his Outperform rating. Ives zeroed in on two critical metrics that stood out for him. The first was a 53% year-over-year surge in U.S. government revenue; the other was the stunning 93% jump in commercial numbers, he said, prove that Palantir's massive AI investments are paying off and effectively translating into real sales across key sectors like defense, health care, and energy. He even went full sports metaphor, calling Palantir 'the Messi of AI,' lauding its ability to turn complex IP into real-world applications. In addition to that, Ives argued, it's a signal of a much larger story taking shape. He feels that 'the golden path' into multi-trillion-dollar AI spending has arrived, and Palantir is leading the charge. He believes the company is on track to generate north of $1 billion in AI platform sales within a few years.

That said, at the time of writing, Palantir stock is up more than 6% pre-market Aug. 5 to $170, after jumping 4% on Monday, closing at $160.66.

Stock Market Today: Algorithms Are Not Efficient
I began my career not in journalism but on the New York Stock Exchange. Technically, I wasn't on the floor, but I worked 16 stories above it, trading through a network of brokers who were on the floor. I was there in trading activity, if not in body. It probably shows in my writing. Back in those days some 1,300 traders plus support staff made up the crowds where stocks were traded and prices were discovered. It was a loud and active place, where price efficiency ruled. Today, the NYSE floor is an empty place. Market makers still work there, but price discovery happens largely through computers. This is what the floor looks like today: Jason Meshnick In today's Market Recon piece over on TheStreet Pro, Stephen "Sarge" Guilfoyle discusses the trading action from Friday and Monday, and tells us that both Friday and Monday were overshoots from where the market should have traded. He says: "On Monday, U.S. equity markets absolutely roared back from a harsh selloff on Friday. On Friday, the algorithms that run price discovery in 2025 sold stocks en masse because of a recessionary looking labor report that was really three consecutive recessionary-looking labor reports at once. On Monday, those same algorithms bought the market hand over fist because now the Fed will likely have to cut short-term interest rates in six weeks." He goes on to say that this game of "Chutes and Ladders" is occurring because we've removed humans from the art of price discovery and replaced them with algorithms. While the market is much cheaper to run (spreads are down), markets are less efficient. In other words, day-to-day volatility might be lower, but reaction to news is much harsher. I couldn't agree more. Sarge also tells us that Wall Street strategists have turned bearish. They see a lethal combination of softening economic data and sky-high valuations. Perhaps "lethal" is a strong word. More accurately, they see a dip on the horizon that they feel will be worth buying. But the reason why I'm quoting Sarge so much today is that he more succinctly than anybody has listed the four reasons that valuations are high and deserve to be. Lower taxesLess regulationExpected lower interest ratesIncreased productivity (on a per-employee basis) driven by artificial intelligence. It all comes down to potential corporate growth and reduced expenses. Demand for workers probably will drop, however, which could be a net negative for economic growth. How is the stock market looking this morning? Slightly up. S&P 500 futures are higher by 0.12%, while Nasdaq futures are up 0.27%.
