Palantir Analyst Actions Set Targets as PLTRUSDT Nears $210 Band

Palantir Technologies drew three bullish analyst actions from Oct. 7 to Oct. 9, setting or raising equity price targets between $230 and $265 as its Binance-traded stock perpetual contract approached the upper end of its recent technical range.

Yorkville Ives initiated coverage at Outperform with a $250 target on Oct. 7. Goldman Sachs upgraded Palantir from Neutral to Buy on Oct. 8 and raised its target from $204 to $230. Barclays initiated coverage at Overweight with a $265 target on Oct. 9.

The targets apply to Palantir’s Nasdaq-listed stock and are not direct targets for the derivative contract. The three actions also reflect different research assumptions and time horizons, so the figures are not necessarily comparable short-term forecasts.
