Palantir Technologies Inc. saw a price increase of 5.00%, crossing above the 5-day SMA, amid positive market conditions with the Nasdaq-100 up 1.71% and the S&P 500 up 1.11%.
This surge is attributed to Palantir renewing its three-year contract with France's domestic intelligence agency DGSI, ensuring continued support for national security efforts, particularly during the upcoming 2024 Olympic Games. The renewal highlights Palantir's strategic importance in enhancing France's security capabilities and aligns with the government's focus on national autonomy.
The implications of this contract renewal are significant, as it not only reinforces Palantir's position in the government security sector but also showcases its ability to meet high standards of security and confidentiality, potentially leading to further opportunities in similar markets.

Reason
Phillip Securities initiated coverage of Palantir with a Buy rating and $208 price target. The firm sees potential for the shares to re-rate higher, driving by improving fundamentals and a growing addressable market. Palantir has captured "just" 2.4% of its $119B 2020 total addressable market, the analyst tells investors in a research note. With the company's AI software growing 25%-plus annually, the addressable market has likely expanded, "supporting significant upside," contends Phillip.
