UBS Says Palantir Stock is a Bargain Compared to AI Software Peers

UBS has reiterated a 'buy' rating on Palantir Technologies, raising its price target by 14% to $250, implying 44% upside. Analyst Karl Keirstead attended Palantir's AIPCon event and came away more confident in the company's position as a leading AI enabler. Despite a recent stock decline due to valuation concerns, Palantir trades at 51 times expected 2027 free cash flow, which UBS considers attractive compared to peers like Snowflake and CrowdStrike. The valuation discount is attributed to fears of a growth rate peak and potential competition from model providers. UBS believes Palantir deserves a premium due to its leadership in AI, data, and defense tech.

• The new price target implies a 44% upside from the stock's close on Monday.
