"We are very impressed by these results," Mizuho said in a note to clients Monday. But the brokerage added that "valuation cannot and should not be irrelevant, and we find it exceedingly difficult to justify PLTR's multiple that in our view already discounts significant further acceleration and upside versus consensus expectations."
Palantir's ( PLTR ) shares have "dramatically" spiked over the past few months and trade at 56x calendar year 2026 estimated revenue for perhaps "mid-30s expected growth," Mizuho said.
Mizuho reiterated its underperform rating for the shares but "materially" raised its price target to $80 from $44 on the "strong execution and significant upward revisions."
