<div id="readability-page-1">Palantir (NASDAQ:PLTR) stock tumbled below the $170 mark today after failing to hold what many investors viewed as a key level. The pullback doesn't appear to be company-specific. Instead, investors are reacting to a broader risk-off move driven by renewed geopolitical tensions tied to President Donald Trump's comments regarding Greenland, which rattled global markets and sent growth stocks lower.<h3>Claim 50% Off TipRanks Premium</h3><ul><li>Unlock hedge fund-level data and powerful investing tools for smarter, sharper decisions </li><li> Stay ahead of the market with the latest news and analysis and maximize your portfolio's potential</li></ul> Those comments reopened a geopolitical fault line between the U.S. and Europe. Trump reiterated that Greenland holds strategic importance for U.S. national security, reviving fears that rhetoric could spill into concrete policy actions, including trade measures or diplomatic retaliation. European leaders pushed back forcefully, emphasizing Greenland's sovereignty and warning against any escalation. The uncertainty quickly filtered through markets, driving investors out of risk assets and into safer havens. Meanwhile, RBC analyst Rishi Jaluria remains bearish on Palantir, reiterating an Underperform rating and a $50 price target, implying ~70% downside from current levels. (To watch Jaluria's track record, click here) Jaluria argues that while Palantir's commercial business has shown signs of acceleration, much of that momentum may be driven by one-time factors rather than sustainable demand. The analyst believes competitive pressures are intensifying, particularly from large platform providers, and expects commercial growth to settle at far more modest levels over time. The analyst is also skeptical about Palantir's ability to scale efficiently. According to Jaluria, the company's reliance on customized deployments and a consultative sales model limits its ability to penetrate smaller customers and restrains operating leverage. As he puts it, the approach &#34;does not scale down-market,&#34; making it difficult to justify today's valuation. On the government side, traditionally Palantir's strongest segment, Jaluria sees signs of deceleration as well, with deal values trending lower and growth slowing faster than anticipated. Until there's clear evidence of reacceleration, Jaluria believes the risk-reward remains skewed to the downside. The rest of Wall Street, however, appears content to stay mostly on the sidelines. 10 analysts currently rate PLTR a Hold (i.e., Neutral), while 2 (including Jaluria) have Sell ratings, and 5 remain bullish with Buys. On balance, the consensus still leans modestly to the upside, with an average price target of $192.88, implying about 15% upside from current levels. (See PLTR stock forecast)</div>
