Palantir stock slips as JPMorgan call meets earnings test

Palantir stock traded at 166.13 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 5:52 p.m. CEST on Friday, October 30, 2026. That was 3.88 percent below the 172.84-euro quote cited in the latest relevant report at 11:50 a.m. CEST, separating the fresh move from the pending earnings event.

Investing.com reported that JPMorgan initiated coverage with an Overweight rating and a USD 262 price target for December 2027. Analyst Brian Essex said enterprises are shifting from deploying artificial intelligence toward generating measurable returns from those investments.

AI Demand Meets Execution

JPMorgan also highlighted demand for AI sovereignty, including control over data, logic, intellectual property, processes, outcomes and security. The bank said Palantir is already using its platform to transform customer operations and placed the company on Positive Catalyst Watch.

The analyst view now faces a near-term test. Palantir is scheduled to report third-quarter results after the US market closes on Monday, November 2, with investors watching demand, execution and management's outlook.

Investing.com reported that Palantir's revenue growth accelerated for the 12th consecutive quarter to 93 percent in the latest quarter. Non-GAAP operating margin reached 62 percent and free cash flow increased 126 percent, while JPMorgan's valuation case uses an estimated USD 11.7 billion of 2028 free cash flow and a 77 percent three-year growth rate. These are bank estimates, not company guidance.

The real-time quote of Palantir stock remains the direct reference for the live market.
