Palantir Stock Climbs As Wall Street Eyes New Artificial Intelligence Customers At AIPCon
Palantir Technologies (PLTR) hosts its sixth artificial intelligence conference for customers on Thursday amid a sudden gloom for AI stocks on Wall Street. Palantir stock climbed on Wednesday as analysts focused on potential new customers such as Walgreens (WBA) and others previewed in a news release.
"Looking at our Palantir commercial tracker, there were nine logos included in the announcement that we previously were not aware of, compared with three logos for prior AIPCon that took place in September," said William Blair analyst Louie DiPalma in a report. "These new logos include Walgreens, which recently announced it is being taken private; hospital revenue cycle management provider R1 RCM; investment holding company TWG Global; private equity provider KKR (KKR); unmanned surface vessel manufacturer Saildrone; aerospace propulsion provider Ursa Major; Delta Air Lines (DAL); Heineken; document software provider Ripcord; and gasoline chain operator RaceTrac."
DiPalma added: "Palantir on its (fourth quarter) earnings call conveyed that one of America's largest pharmacies recently signed a $67 million engagement for load-balancing prescription fulfillment and orchestrating patient outreach. It is not clear whether this $67 million contract was for Walgreens or CVS (CVS), which also appears to be an unannounced Palantir customer based on our tracker."
On the stock market today Palantir stock gained 7.2% to close at 83.65.
