Palantir rallies 15% for the week as Iran war boosts prospects, muting Anthropic concern

▤ Summary

Palantir's stock rose about 15% for the week after the U.S. attack on Iran as investors wager the conflict will bolster government spending that accounts for roughly 60% of the company's revenue. Analysts raised price targets and maintained buy ratings, citing Palantir's large Army contract and potential for additional defense deals. The article notes Anthropic's government blacklist could disrupt its prior partnerships, but cloud providers and analysts expect alternatives and Anthropic intends to challenge the designation in court. A broader rebound in software stocks and Palantir's existing defense AI integrations with AWS and military programs also helped fuel the rally.
