Despite Palantir's Q2 revenue jumping 92.8% year-over-year to $1.94 billion with adjusted EPS of $0.41, an analyst suggests Intel is a stronger pick for the remainder of 2026. Intel's stock has gained 142% year-to-date, and its Q2 revenue rose 25.4% to $16.13 billion with non-GAAP EPS of $0.42. The analyst notes Intel has seen 32 upward EPS revisions in the last 30 days, while Palantir's 73x price-to-sales ratio and stock price near its $192 analyst target create a valuation ceiling. Intel Foundry, however, still reported a $2.1 billion loss in Q2.
