Palantir price target raised to $35 from $26 at Deutsche Bank

Deutsche Bank raised the firm’s price target on Palantir (PLTR) to $35 from $26 and keeps a Sell rating on the shares as part of a 2025 software sector outlook. Software will outperform in 2025 as a result of improving fundamentals, positive estimate revisions and modest multiple expansion over the course of the year, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm expects improving demand trends and artificial intelligence optimism to more than offset “slow-but-ramping” generative AI adoption, elevated capex, and an ongoing scaling-laws debate.
