Anthropic could hit the public market as soon as mid-November — with investors discussing a valuation near $2 trillion.
That would put one of the biggest AI IPOs ever against some pretty wild numbers:
• 2025 revenue: ~$4.6B, up from $386M
• Operating loss: more than $8B
• Possible valuation: $1.8T–$2T
The growth is enormous. So are the costs.
If Anthropic starts marketing the IPO in November, the pricing range will show just how much investors are willing to pay for that growth.
IS PALANTIR WORTH THE PRICE?
Palantir has become one of the market’s biggest AI winners.
The stock is back near $189 and not far from its 52-week high — but investors are paying a huge premium for that growth.
So is $PLTR still worth the price here, or has the stock simply run too far?
Let’s look at both sides.
🟢 WHAT THE BULLS SAY
AI DEMAND IS STRONG
Palantir’s U.S. commercial business is growing rapidly as more companies adopt its AI software.
GUIDANCE KEEPS MOVING HIGHER
Management raised full-year 2026 revenue guidance to more than $8.15B, implying roughly 80% year-over-year growth.
PALANTIR KEEPS DELIVERING
The company has beaten consensus expectations for 8 straight quarters while combining strong growth with profitability.
The bull case:
If Palantir keeps growing this fast, today’s premium becomes much easier to justify.
SO WHAT DECIDES WHERE PALANTIR GOES NEXT?
FOR THE STOCK TO RISE
Growth needs to stay exceptional and Palantir has to keep beating already-high expectations.
FOR THE STOCK TO FALL
Slower growth, weaker guidance or stronger competition could quickly put pressure on the valuation.
AVERAGE 12-MONTH PRICE TARGET
$201.74 (+6.88%)
Wall Street still sees upside — but not much room for mistakes.
