Goldman Sachs Palantir Stock Upgrade Sets a $230 Target

Goldman analyst Gabriela Borges upgraded PLTR stock from Neutral to Buy on October 8, setting a $230 Palantir price target. This represents approximately 18.5% upside from the $194.12 reference price in the research note. The rating change puts Goldman among the banks backing further gains.

Borges sees scope for another period of outperformance into 2027. Sovereign AI, customized applications and products tailored to specific industries underpin that view. Goldman also argues Palantir stock trades at a discount relative to companies with comparable growth following its weaker performance this year.

The argument rests partly on Palantir’s engineers working closely with customers, then feeding what they learn into product development. Goldman believes that process remains difficult for competitors to reproduce.

Palantir AI Growth Has Already Reached the Earnings Statement

Palantir’s second-quarter results offer a clearer measure of demand. Revenue rose 93% to $1.935 billion, while US commercial sales climbed 149% to $764 million.

The company reported a Palantir Rule of 40 score of 155%, combining revenue growth with its 62% adjusted operating margin.

Those numbers give Goldman’s optimism a substantial starting point. The next test for Palantir stock is whether newer applications and partnerships bring in enough additional business to keep that pace going.
