Cramer reaffirmed his $250 price target on Palantir on September 17, 2026, addressing CEO Alex Karp directly. The $250 level is now a widely watched benchmark for holders.

Cramer is not revising the number downward, signaling his thesis on Palantir's government and commercial AI business remains intact.

NVIDIA and Palantir Bring Sovereign Intelligence to Critical Supply Chains

Nvidia is running the Palantir-Nemotron stack on its own supply chain first, the one coordinating 1.3 million parts in every Vera Rubin rack, which turns the deployment into a live reference sale for every manufacturer, government and pharma buyer that follows.

Cramer is calling the 19% move a deliberate mark-up rather than fundamental news, a distinction that matters for anyone chasing it here.

Palantir continues to be walked up, now plus 19...

Earnings · 2026 Q2 Alex Karp CEO

Aug 3, 4:06pm ET

Demand for AI sovereignty has now been unleashed. And Palantir is the only company that has demonstrated it can transform tokens into actual economic value. Our customers trust us to provide them with maximal control over their operations, data, and decisions. Their competitive advantage should never become the training data for future models. This quarter was otherworldly: our U.S. commercial revenue grew 149% year-over-year, our overall revenue grew 93% year-over-year, and our Rule of 40…

Karp is staking Palantir's entire growth story on governments and enterprises refusing to let their data train someone else's models, and Q2 backs him up: U.S. commercial revenue nearly two and a half times higher than a year ago. The question is how long that pace holds.
