Oggonomics normally features the daily analyst calls featuring new ratings, price target changes and upgrades and downgrades. The markets are in flux around the tariffs being implemented and then delayed and many investors are feeling squeezed whether they are buying or selling.
With that theme in mind, the first order of business is the massive jump in the already-hot Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR). Investors know that Palantir is expensive and at high multiples even after it blew away earnings, but Palantir has literally no real known worries about tariffs on foreign goods.
Palantir Technologies was reiterated at Market Perform and its price target was raised to $80 from $38 at Northland Capital Markets. Palantir was maintained as Underperform at Jefferies, but the firm did raise its price target to $60 from $28. Robert W. Baird maintained its Neutral rating but raised its target to $100 from $70. Palantir was reiterated as Underperform but its price target raised to $80 from $44 at Mizuho. Morgan Stanley raised Palantir to Equal-Weight from Underweight and raised its price target to $95 from $60. BofA Securities reiterated its rating at Buy and its price objective was raised to $125 from $90.
