On July 23, Palantir Technologies Inc. fell 3.03% in regular trading, trading at $120.975/share, with turnover of $13.01 billion. The decline was triggered by Citigroup cutting its price target on Palantir from $225 to $200 while maintaining a buy rating.
Notably, just days prior, Citi had named Palantir as its top software sector pick with the $225 target, making this an 11% reduction that reflects a near-term valuation reassessment by the investment bank. According to FactSet, the stock carries an average analyst rating of overweight with a mean price target of $190.30.
The broader Application Software sector faced widespread selling pressure, with Salesforce.com down 4.72%, AppLovin down 3.39%, and Strategy down 7.33%. With Palantir's next earnings report scheduled for early August, the stock has now declined significantly from its July 20 level of $136.39, when multiple Wall Street firms were issuing bullish pre-earnings calls.
