Why It Matters: Cramer’s recent endorsement of Palantir is significant, considering the company’s ongoing expansion in the defense sector. Just before Cramer’s comments, Palantir secured a lucrative contract with the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA). This follows a strong buy recommendation from Cramer earlier in March, where he predicted that Palantir’s stock “goes higher.”

Additionally, an analyst from Mizuho maintained a Neutral stance on Palantir but raised the price target from $18 to $21, highlighting the company’s prospects in AI expansion after securing a $178 million deal with the Army.

Price Action: Palantir’s stock closed at $22.86 on Monday with a 52-week high of $27.50 and a low of $7.28, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
