Jim Cramer drops jaw-dropping price target on Palantir stock post-earnings
Jim Cramer drops jaw-dropping price target on Palantir stock post-earnings originally appeared on TheStreet. Palantir () didn't need a hype man following its blowout Q2 showing, but it got one anyway in veteran analyst Jim Cramer. The AI bellwether dished out a near-billion-dollar quarter with triple-digit income growth. On top of that, guidance popped, with Palantir flexing its AI muscle. With one of its strongest quarterly earnings prints, longtime Palantir bull Jim Cramer rushed in, with arguably his boldest call on the stock to date. Though it potentially raises some eyebrows, those who've tracked his predictions know it's not without precedent. Cramer's been riding Palantir stock for years and is not alone this time. However, there's something about the explosiveness in Palantir's Q2 showing that positions it in the AI arms race more solidly than ever. Palantir lifts forecast as AI push powers record growth Palantir's Q2 earnings report blew past market expectations with considerable aplomb. Total sales were up a powerful 48% YOY to roughly $1.0 billion, obliterating the $938 million estimate. On the bottom-line front, its adjusted EPS came in at 16 cents, topping estimates by a couple of cents (roughly a 14.3% upside surprise).The growth was broad-based. Commercial sales jumped a mind-boggling 93% to $306 million, while U.S. government sales surged 53% to $426 million. That indicates that enterprise clients and federal agencies are leaning harder into Palantir's AI-powered software stack. CEO Alex Karp lauded the 'astonishing impact of AI leverage' for Q2's strength. He talked up the success of the company's investments in generative AI, high-performance chips, and the robust Foundry and AIP platforms. Also, by layering in AI models directly into its infrastructure, Palantir is efficiently streamlining everything from logistics and supply chains to predictive maintenance. That's a big part of why its net income spiked 144% year-over-year to $327 million. Palantir's Rule of 40 score (a metric that combines revenue growth and profit margins) hit an eye-popping 94%, one of the highest in its niche. On top of that, operating margins expanded, while adjusted free cash flow stayed strong, solidifying the company's profitability position. Looking ahead, management bumped its full-year 2025 revenue guidance to $4.14–$4.15 billion, up from a prior $3.89–$3.90 billion. U.S. commercial sales are expected to rise to over 85% year-over-year. And for Q3, Palantir forecasts a whopping 50% top-line growth, the fastest sequential increase in its rich history. These results underscore Palantir's deepening role as a foundational AI infrastructure provider, with a massive long-term growth runway ahead. Jim Cramer sees $200 ahead for Palantir Jim Cramer didn't hold back after Palantir's rollicking earnings, as he doubled down on his long-running bull thesis like it never left. 'Palantir, when it was $50, I said it would go to $100; when it was at $100, I said it would go to $150,' he said. With shares now breaching $160, Cramer added, the 'next stop is $200,' pointing to another 20%+ bump from current levels. A big part of Cramer's bull case on Palantir is the Big Data giant's growing traction as a go-to enterprise AI across federal and commercial sectors is soaring, underscoring the depth of the company's unique data analytics backbone. For Cramer, this is far from hype and more about Palantir's positioning. The company is 'uniquely positioned to capitalize on soaring enterprise AI spending,' he said. Additionally, Cramer pushed back against skeptics, throwing shade at the naysayers. 'Doomerism,' he called it. All that noise about AI limitations and overvaluation? He says it's just the shorts missing the broader outlook. Wedbush's Dan Ives calls Palantir 'Messi of AI' after blowout quarter Cramer wasn't the only analyst showering praise on Palantir post its Q2 showing. Veteran tech analyst Dan Ives of Wedbush hailed the quarter as a 'blowout across the board' while reiterating his Outperform rating. Ives zeroed in on two critical metrics that stood out for him. The first was a 53% year-over-year surge in U.S. government revenue; the other was the stunning 93% jump in commercial numbers, he said, prove that Palantir's massive AI investments are paying off and effectively translating into real sales across key sectors like defense, health care, and energy. He even went full sports metaphor, calling Palantir 'the Messi of AI,' lauding its ability to turn complex IP into real-world applications. In addition to that, Ives argued, it's a signal of a much larger story taking shape. He feels that 'the golden path' into multi-trillion-dollar AI spending has arrived, and Palantir is leading the charge. He believes the company is on track to generate north of $1 billion in AI platform sales within a few years. More News: Veteran analyst spots unexpected star in Apple's earnings report Nvidia avoids White House crackdown; Trump softens on AI giant Jim Cramer sounds off on tariffs, hot economy, and interest rate pressures That's the foundation of his massive trillion-dollar valuation thesis. That said, at the time of writing, Palantir stock is up more than 6% pre-market Aug. 5 to $170, after jumping 4% on Monday, closing at $160.66.

OpenAI Hits 700 Million Users, $300 Billion Valuation as $8 Billion Cash Burn Is Projected
OpenAI is set to hit a major user milestone, reaching 700 million weekly active users. That is up 40% from 500 million at the end of March and about four times the number from the same period last year. The company says it now handles about 2.5 billion prompts each day from around 330 million individual users. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. The growth comes alongside a large funding boost. OpenAI recently completed an $8.3 billion funding round at a $300 billion valuation, months ahead of schedule. The round was led by Dragoneer Investment Group, which invested $2.8 billion. Other new investors include Blackstone, TPG, and T. Rowe Price, while Andreessen Horowitz and Sequoia Capital returned. This raise is part of OpenAI's plan to secure $40 billion in 2025. The company raised $2.5 billion in March. OpenAI's annualized revenue is about $13 billion and could reach $20 billion by the end of the year if current trends hold. The funding is expected to support product development and expand its reach into more business and consumer markets. Growth Is Evident, But Costs and Competition Mount Feature updates are also playing a role in the growth. The ChatGPT Projects tool has been expanded with more research features, voice mode, and a memory system that can recall past conversations inside projects. These changes are making it easier for users to manage longer and more complex work inside the platform. OpenAI now counts more than 5 million paying business subscribers, up from 3 million in June. However, the company faces financial and competitive challenges as it expects to burn about $8 billion in cash by the end of 2025. Current projections suggest it will not reach cash-flow breakeven before 2029. Also, competition from Google DeepMind (GOOG), Meta (META), and Microsoft (MSFT) -backed AI projects is also increasing. Moreover, China-based companies are also threatening American companies' AI dominance, such as Alibaba's (BABA) Qwen 3, and DeepSeek's R1 model. In short, OpenAI's combination of rapid user growth, higher revenue, and heavy investment is impressive and even formidable. Still, retail investors will be watching to see if the company can sustain this pace while managing costs and defending its position in a fast-growing market. Using TipRanks' Comparison Tool, we've compared some of the notable companies that employ ChatGPT similar to OpenAI's ChatGPT.
