Palantir (PLTR) shares have climbed to record levels near $210–213 amid accelerating AI adoption and two major analyst upgrades in early October, with Goldman Sachs raising its rating to Buy ($230 target) and Barclays initiating at Overweight ($265 target). Strong Q2 2026 results—93% year-over-year revenue growth to $1.94 billion, U.S. commercial revenue up 149%, and raised full-year guidance—have reinforced momentum, while the stock’s 52-week range now spans $106 to $213. With Q3 earnings scheduled for November 2 after the October 31 close, traders are focused on sustained trading volume, broader tech sentiment, and any pre-earnings contract wins as key variables that could determine whether the price holds above key thresholds into month-end.
