5-Day Sell-Off Sends Palantir Technologies Stock Down -11%
Palantir Technologies (PLTR) stock hit day 5 of a continuous streak of days with losses, with cumulative losses over this period amounting to a -11% return. The company has lost about $46 Bil in value over the last 5 days, with its current market capitalization at about $368 Bil. The stock remains 104.7% above its value at the end of 2024. This compares with year-to-date returns of 12.3% for the S&P 500.
Palantir’s recent streak saw investors recalibrating its sky-high valuation amidst renewed AI bubble anxieties. Famed investor Michael Burry’s bearish bet and CEO Alex Karp’s substantial share sale fueled skepticism, overshadowing stellar Q3 revenue growth of 63% and robust AI platform momentum.
What is the point? Sustained weakness can be more than noise. It often signals shifting sentiment or deeper concerns. A multi-day losing streak may warn of further downside, or present an opportunity to buy if fundamentals are intact. Our take: There is not much to fear in PLTR stock given its overall Very Strong operating performance and financial condition. Hence, despite its Very High valuation, the stock appears Attractive but Volatile (see Buy or Sell PLTR).
