​On April 14, Mizuho analyst Gregg Moskowitz reduced the price target on Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:PLTR) from $195 to $185, while maintaining an Outperform rating on the shares.

However, the firm finds the cybersecurity demand to be mixed, prompting the recalibration. The firm highlighted Cloudflare, ServiceNow, and Atlassian as top picks ahead of Q1 earnings reports.
