Analysts estimate EPS of 35 cents along with revenue of approximately $1.8 billion. For the prior quarter, Palantir reported EPS of 33 cents, beating the consensus estimate of 28 cents. The company also posted revenue of $1.633 billion, exceeding the consensus estimate of $1.54 billion. Palantir has beaten EPS estimates in each of its last four quarters. The company raised its full-year 2026 revenue guidance last quarter to a range of $7.650 billion to $7.662 billion, implying 71% year-over-year growth, up from prior guidance of 61% growth. ## **Closer to Its 52-Week Low Than Its High** At $124.79, Palantir is still trading 2.3% below its 20-day SMA ($127.90) and 5.1% below its 50-day SMA ($131.61), which keeps the intermediate trend pointed down. It’s also 19% below the 200-day SMA ($154.29), a reminder that the longer-term trend remains heavy despite occasional rebounds. The moving-average structure is still a headwind: the 20-day SMA is below the 50-day SMA, and the death cross (50-day SMA below the 200-day SMA) that occurred in February reinforces the bearish longer-term setup. From a momentum standpoint, MACD is below its signal line and the histogram is negative—plain terms: upside pressure is fading versus the prior upswing unless buyers can push momentum back above that baseline. The stock’s key turning points also frame the current risk: it put in both a swing high and swing low in June, and it broke below support in June as well, which often leaves overhead supply on rebounds. With the 52-week low set in June and the current price still closer to that $106.37 low than the $207.52 high from November 2025, bulls generally want to see higher lows form before calling a durable trend change. - **Key Resistance**: $136.50 — a nearby ceiling that lines up with a prior rebound-stall zone and sits above the 50-day/100-day area where sellers have had an edge - **Key Support**: $122.50 — a nearby floor close to current levels where buyers previously stepped in, making it a key "must-hold" zone for a bounce thesis ## **Analyst Consensus & Recent Actions** The stock carries a Buy rating with an average price forecast of $183.27. Recent analyst moves include: - **Citigroup**: Buy (Lowers Target to $200.00) (July 24) - **DA Davidson**: Buy (Maintains Target to $175.00) (July 17) - **DA Davidson**: Upgraded to Buy (Raises Target to $175.00) (July 2) ## Benzinga Edge Rankings Below is the Benzinga Edge scorecard for Palantir, highlighting its strengths and weaknesses compared to the broader market: - **Momentum**: Weak (Score: 10.04) — The stock’s recent tape is lagging, which fits with price still sitting below key moving averages. - **Value**: Weak (Score: 2.41) — The market is pricing PLTR at a steep premium, leaving less room for error if growth expectations cool. - **Growth**: Bullish (Score: 97.67) — The scorecard is flagging strong growth characteristics, which is the main pillar supporting the longer-term bull case. **The Verdict:** Palantir’s Benzinga Edge signal reveals a growth-heavy profile with weak value support and soft momentum. For longer-term bulls, that usually means execution into earnings matters more than ever, while technicians may wait for momentum to improve before leaning in. **Read Also: Stock Market Today: S&P 500, Dow Jones Futures Rise as US-Iran Halt Retaliatory Strikes—Microchip Technology, AMD, Nucor in Focus** ## Palantir Shares Climb **PLTR Price Action:** At the time of publication, Palantir shares are trading 1.46% higher at $124.71, according to data from Benzinga Pro. _Image via Shutterstock_ ### Related Stocks - [PLTR.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/PLTR.US.md) - [PLTD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/PLTD.US.md) - [PLTW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/PLTW.US.md) - [PTIR.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/PTIR.US.md) - [PLTG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/PLTG.US.md) - [PLOO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/PLOO.US.md) - [PLTU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/PLTU.US.md) - [PLTZ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/PLTZ.US.md) - [PLT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/PLT.US.md) - [PLTA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/PLTA.US.md) - [PLTY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/PLTY.US.md) - [PLYY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/PLYY.US.md) - [.SPX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/.SPX.US.md) - [.DJI.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/.DJI.US.md) - [MCHP.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MCHP.US.md) - [AMD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AMD.US.md) - [NUE.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NUE.US.md) - [MCHPP.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MCHPP.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [NewEdge Wealth LLC Purchases 12,861 Shares of Palantir Technologies Inc. $PLTR](https://longbridge.com/en/news/293732478.md) - [Palantir Q2 Earnings Preview: Profit Growth Expected as Wall Street Sets $200 Price Target](https://longbridge.com/en/news/294017405.md) - [Palantir CEO Alex Karp Says Al Will Create 'Unimaginable Wealth' for 'Oddly Shaped IQ Specimens You Wouldn't Want To Have Over for Dinner'](https://longbridge.com/en/news/293784389.md) - [Palantir Stock Price Forecast — Options Traders Expect a Large Swing in PLTR as Earnings Near](https://longbridge.com/en/news/294215498.md) - [Microsoft, Meta, Nvidia, and Palantir have a message for Washington](https://longbridge.com/en/news/293771334.md)
