Palantir Shares Rise Following Military AI Deployment and Defense Authorization

The U.S. military utilized Anthropic’s Claude AI via Palantir’s platform during a mission in Venezuela, following new DISA security authorizations for edge deployments. Shares rose 1.77% to close at $131.41 as Daiwa analysts upgraded the stock.

• The deployment was enabled by a February 12 DISA authorization for Palantir’s PFCS Forward, which extended IL5 and IL6 accreditation to critical edge operations.
• Daiwa upgraded the stock citing a robust 2026 revenue forecast of $7.2 billion, helping the price recover from recent losses linked to insider sales by CEO Alex Karp.
