# Palantir Surges Over 4% In After Hours Trading On Strong Q2 Earnings—Analyst Warns August Could Trigger 'Mean Reversion' As PLTR Trades At 80x Revenue

> Palantir Technologies Inc. saw a 4.57% increase in after-hours trading following a strong Q2 earnings report, with revenue of $1.004 billion surpassing estimates. Despite this, analyst Mark Newton warned of high valuations, suggesting a potential mean reversion in August. The company raised its 2025 revenue guidance to $4.14-4.15 billion. While some analysts remain bullish, concerns about sustainability at current valuations persist.

**Palantir Technologies Inc.** PLTR extended gains 4.57% in after-hours trading on Monday, reaching $168 following a blowout second-quarter earnings report. However, technical analyst **Mark Newton** warned of stretched valuations as the stock’s Relative Strength Index indicator hit 95.

## Technical Warning Emerges Despite Strong Earnings Beat

Newton, Managing Director at **Fundstrat Global Advisors**, posted on X, that the company closed 42 deals worth more than $10 million last quarter, but questions remain about whether that pace is sustainable, given its valuation of 70 to 80 times revenue.

## Q2 Results Obliterate Wall Street Estimates

Palantir reported revenue of $1.004 billion, crushing analyst estimates of $939.71 million and marking 48% year-over-year growth. Adjusted earnings per share hit $0.16, beating the consensus of $0.14. U.S. revenue surged 68% to $733 million, driven by 93% growth in commercial revenue to $306 million.

CEO **Alex Karp** called it “a phenomenal quarter,” citing AI’s “astonishing impact” on business performance. The company closed 157 deals over $1 million, including 42 deals exceeding $10 million.

## Bulls Target $200 Despite Valuation Concerns

CNBC’s **Jim Cramer** remained bullish despite the elevated metrics. “Palantir, when it was $50 I said it would go to $100, when it was at $100 I said it would go to $150 and now that it has topped $150 its next stop is $200,” Cramer posted on X.

**Wedbush** analyst **Dan Ives**, calling Palantir “the Messi of AI,” projected a trillion-dollar market cap within two to three years.

## Guidance Raised Amid Mean Reversion Warning

Palantir raised full-year 2025 revenue guidance to $4.14-4.15 billion from $3.89-3.90 billion, well above analyst expectations of $3.9 billion. The third quarter revenue guidance of $1.083-1.087 billion significantly exceeded estimates of $981.1 million.

However, Newton cautioned that “late August could bring some necessary mean reversion” and recommended “running trailing stops on extended issues like this a must when the air gets a bit ‘thin.'”
