On October 8, Palantir Technologies Inc. rose 4.13% in regular trading, trading at $202.94 per share with a turnover of $13.49 billion.

The move was driven by Goldman Sachs upgrading its rating on Palantir from Neutral to Buy and setting a 12-month price target of $230, implying roughly 18% upside. The analyst highlighted that despite Palantir's annualized revenue of $8 billion and nearly 100% growth rate, market debates persist over whether the AI-driven benefits are already fully priced in and the sustainability of its business model. The firm believes 2027 could mark the start of a new phase of outperformance for the stock.

Within the Application Software sector, the overall sentiment was mixed. Among individual stocks, Adobe rose 2.13%, Salesforce.com gained 1.47%, and Datadog advanced 0.79%, while Strategy fell 2.7% and IREN Ltd dropped 3.72%.
