Palantir Stock Slides Nearly 4% Premarket: What's Dragging It Down?
Portfolio Pulse from Shanthi Rexaline
Palantir Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:PLTR) saw its stock decline by nearly 4% in premarket trading following a downgrade by Jefferies analyst Brent Thill. Thill downgraded Palantir from Neutral to Underperform and lowered the price target from $18 to $13, indicating a potential 20% downside. The downgrade was based on concerns over the stock's recent rally, which Thill believes is unsustainable due to AI euphoria without a clear monetization strategy. Additionally, he cited a slower-than-expected demand recovery in Palantir's commercial and government business, which could impact growth in 2024.
