He says the demand for it and AI are there and has a $280 price target for the stock, pointing to significant earnings growth backing his bullish expectations. Companies like Alphabet (GOOGL) and Tesla (TSLA) raising CapEx add to Ray's thesis that Nvidia has more room to run and eventually benefit software giants like Palantir (PLTR) and ServiceNow (NOW). ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

The last time George Tsilis talked about Palantir (PLTR) in October 2025, the stock was above $185. As of this week, the software giant slipped below $130.

However, Palantir's valuation remains a key headwind even after its substantial sell-off so far in 2026.
