Could This Be the Next AI Giant?
- Negative Sentiment: Political scrutiny could create headline and contract risk. Palantir is reportedly broadening its political donations ahead of the 2026 U.S. midterms as it seeks relationships across Washington, but potential changes in congressional control and increased oversight of defense and data contractors could weigh on sentiment.
