Palantir Technologies (PLTR) is slated to report quarterly results after the market closes on Monday, and investors are positi✨oning for a big stock move🔥.
Options pricing suggests traders are expecting Palantir stock to move more than 12% in the days after 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:Monday’s earnings report. A move higher of that 💯magnitude would put Palantir stock at an all-time high of about $139, while a decline of the same size would drag shares down🎐 to about $108.
Palantir was the 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:S&P 500’s♊ best-performing stock last year when it rose 340%, ဣand as of Friday’s close was the index’s top stock this year as well. Shares have risen more than 60% since the start of 2025, while the S&P 500 as a whole has declined a bit over 3%.
Palantir, an ascendant defense contractor, has benefited recently from both booming demand for 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:artificial intelligence (AI) services and Washington's new priorities. The U.S. government accounted for more than 40% of Palantir’s revenue in the fourth quarter, ostensibly making it vulnerable to President Trump and 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:Elon Musk's cost-cutting initiative. However, the company’s focus on AI and Trump’s desire to increase spending on immigration enforcement and the military are 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:expected to be tailwinds for Palantir.
Recent E🌌arnings Have Propelled Palantir Stock Higher
Shares soared more than 20% after each of the company’s two most recent earnings reports. The company in both February and last November said strong demand for i𝓀ts AI platform drove quarterly revenue growth of 30% or more in the preceding quarters.
Wall Street expects Palantir to report revenue increased by 36% in the first quarter and adjusted earnings rose more than 60%, according to analysts who follow the company and are tracked by Visible Alpha. Though, due to the stock’s meteoric rise over the past year and a half, only one of those analysts 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:recommends buying it at its current price.
Nonetheless, the company has developed a dedicated following of retail investors who have shown little interest in cashing out. According to analysts at Vanda Research earlier this year, Palantir is the 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:third most popular stock among individual investors, behind only Nvidia (NVDA) and Tesla (TSLA). A recent Investopedia survey suggested 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:readers bought the dip in Palantir stock last month as eagerly as they did tech giants like Amazon (AMZN) and Apple (AAPL).
