Palantir (PLTR) Edges Lower on Nov. 7 as Insider Sale Surfaces—Analysts Lift Targets After Blowout Q3

Palantir Stock Today (Nov. 7, 2025): PLTR Ends Week Higher as New Partnerships With Stagwell and Valoriza Offset AI-Sector Jitters

Updated: Friday, November 7, 2025

Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR) finished Friday at $177.93, up +1.65% on the day, recovering from sharp midweek volatility tied to a broader pullback in artificial‑intelligence names. Intraday, PLTR traded between $168.91 and $178.70 on heavy volume (~74.0M). The rebound followed a flurry of corporate headlines on Nov. 6–7, including two new commercial partnerships and high‑profile remarks from CEO Alex Karp. [1]


Key headlines from Nov. 6–7, 2025

1) Stagwell x Palantir: New AI‑marketing platform
On Nov. 6, Palantir and Stagwell (NASDAQ: STGW) unveiled a partnership to build an AI‑driven marketing platform that pairs Palantir Foundry with Stagwell’s Code and Theory orchestration layer and The Marketing Cloud data stack. The goal: give enterprise teams a single hub to segment audiences, automate campaigns, and protect data with differential privacy. Stagwell CEO Mark Penn called it “the holy grail of marketing,” while Palantir CEO Alex Karp said the software “supercharges the speed of metrics collection.” [2]

Fox Business separately highlighted the deal and reiterated that the platform aims to let local managers run data‑driven campaigns using natural‑language prompts—underscoring Palantir’s push to operationalize AI across line‑of‑business users. [3]

2) Valoriza (Spain) selects Palantir AIP for urban services
Also on Nov. 6, Valoriza, a leading Spanish environmental services firm, announced it will use Palantir AIP and Foundry to unify IoT and operational data across waste‑management fleets, city infrastructure, and workforce systems to optimize routes, lower emissions, and scale new digital services. The collaboration expands Palantir’s EU municipal footprint in smart‑city and sustainability use cases. [4]

3) CEO Alex Karp’s media remarks keep valuation debate in focus
In a Nov. 6 appearance on The Axios Show, Karp argued that Wall Street models miss the company’s long‑term product strength—calling Palantir “baller” while acknowledging a week‑long share‑price pullback after earnings. Axios noted the stock’s massive 12‑month run and a valuation that remains far above typical tech multiples, keeping the conversation centered on durability of growth vs. premium pricing. [5]


Price action: What changed today

PLTR’s +1.65% gain on Friday followed a week when AI leaders swung lower amid concerns that the 2025 AI rally had outpaced fundamentals. Reuters reported that this “AI wobble” raised questions about the market’s reliance on tech heavyweights, with Palantir among the closely watched names. That macro tone improved into the U.S. close, helping PLTR finish higher despite early weakness. [6]

By the numbers (Nov. 7 close):

  • Close: $177.93 (+1.65%)
  • Range: $168.91 – $178.70
  • Prev. close: $175.05
  • Volume: ~73,989,654
    These figures reflect LSEG data via Reuters. [7]

Why investors cared about the Nov. 6–7 headlines

Commercial momentum beyond defense
The Stagwell and Valoriza announcements showcase Palantir’s go‑to‑market strategy outside of defense and national security: embedding AIP/Foundry into verticalized platforms (marketing, urban services) with partners that already have domain expertise and distribution. For bulls, these are proof points that Palantir’s AI stack is moving from pilots to scaled, revenue‑bearing deployments in mainstream industries. [8]

Valuation still front‑and‑center
Karp’s Axios remarks landed the same week Palantir posted another beat‑and‑raise quarter and guided Q4 revenue above consensus, but investors remain sensitive to premium multiples after a big 12‑month run. Reuters noted Palantir’s forward P/E far above mega‑cap tech, reinforcing why the stock can be volatile around macro and sector headlines even when fundamentals trend higher. [9]


Context from earlier in the week

On Nov. 3, Palantir raised full‑year guidance and forecast Q4 revenue of $1.327–$1.331B, above Street estimates, with Q3 revenue up ~63% YoY and adjusted EPS ahead of expectations. Despite the beat, multiple outlets observed a valuation‑driven pullback in AI stocks, contributing to PLTR’s midweek slide before Friday’s rebound. [10]


What to watch next

  • Execution on the Stagwell platform: Look for customer adoption milestones and revenue contribution as the marketing suite rolls out across the Stagwell network in the coming months. [11]
  • European municipal traction: Any KPIs from Valoriza’s deployment (route efficiency, emissions, service quality) could support a broader smart‑city pipeline for Palantir in the EU. [12]
  • Sector sentiment: With AI leaders driving index performance, macro stories about AI spending and valuations can move PLTR even absent company‑specific news. [13]

Bottom line

For Nov. 7, 2025, Palantir stock closed higher as two new partnerships (Stagwell and Valoriza) underscored expanding commercial use cases, helping offset a broader AI‑sector shakeout. The setup into next week hinges on whether investors prioritize execution and pipeline—supported by above‑consensus Q4 guidance—or continue to focus on valuation sensitivity amid shifting macro headlines.

Stock Market Today

  • Stephens Lowers Papa John's Price Target; Overweight View Persists for PZZA
    November 8, 2025, 9:22 AM EST. Stephens cut Papa John's (PZZA) target price from $50.00 to $49.00 while keeping an overweight rating, implying a potential upside of about 14% from current levels. The note contrasts with other analysts: Deutsche Bank raised targets to $46 (hold), Mizuho to hold, Bank of America remains neutral with a $50 target (down from $62), Stifel lifted to $42 (hold), and Weiss maintains a hold. Market consensus leans Hold with a $50.50 target from MarketBeat. In trading, PZZA opened around $42.82; the stock sports a $1.40B market cap, a P/E near 19, and a 52-week range of $30.16-$59.08. In the latest quarter, earnings missed estimates ($0.32 vs $0.40) amid modest revenue of $508.15M. Institutional activity notable with Brandes boosting stake.
  • York Water (NASDAQ:YORW) ROCE Decline Sparks Turnaround Watch
    November 8, 2025, 9:20 AM EST. Investors chasing a multi-bagger should watch trends in ROCE and the capital base. York Water (NASDAQ:YORW) posts a trailing ROCE of about 4.4%, roughly in line with the water utilities average of around 4.8%. Yet the ROCE trend has fallen from ~6.0% over five years, and the company has been reinvesting more capital without a clear lift in sales. That mix suggests early or longer-term returns may be muted. The stock also shows a -23% performance over five years, signaling investor hesitation about a near-term turnaround. Overall, while reinvestment continues, the returns are shrinking and the case for a rapid multi-bagger is not strong. Investors should heed the two highlighted risks and monitor upcoming earnings for any improvement.
  • Mercury General (NYSE: MCY) Declares $0.3175 Dividend; EPS Growth Supports Low Payout Ratio
    November 8, 2025, 9:12 AM EST. Mercury General Corporation (NYSE: MCY) declared a quarterly dividend of $0.3175 per share, payable December 24. The annual yield is about 1.5% of the price, in line with the industry. The stock has a history of dividend cuts-from $2.47 in 2015 to $1.27 most recently-a decline of roughly 6.4% per year-so dividend sustainability matters. Yet EPS has grown about 13% per year over five years, supporting a relatively low payout ratio (roughly 13% next year if the EPS forecast (up ~19.4%) holds). With solid cash flow coverage and reinvestment, the idea could appeal to income investors, though one warning sign is noted.
  • Analysts Trim OmniAb Price Targets After Q3 Results; 2026 Revenue Seen Up 51%
    November 8, 2025, 9:10 AM EST. Analysts have trimmed OmniAb, Inc. (NASDAQ: OABI) price targets after its latest quarter, as the stock slid about 11% to $1.38. Revenue miss: $31.9m projected for 2026, up 51% year over year, while losses are still seen at around $0.45 per share. The consensus across seven analysts sees 2026 revenue growth reacceleration, but spirits remain dampened by the ongoing losses and a revised target price that averaged $8.00, down 5.9%. The most bullish and bearish estimates range from $11.00 to $3.00, underscoring a wide dispersion. Analysts note OmniAb's outlook would need to outperform peers and the broader industry, which is projected to grow ~5.9% annually, to justify a stronger multiple. No major changes to earnings forecasts, but sentiment remains cautious.
  • Capital One Financial (COF) Increases Dividend to $0.80; Payout Ratio Sparks Sustainability Concerns
    November 8, 2025, 9:09 AM EST. Capital One Financial (COF) will raise its quarterly dividend to $0.80 on Dec 1, a 33% lift from last year's $0.60, yet the yield remains modest at about 1.1%, below the sector average. The payout ratio sits at 100%, implying earnings barely cover the payout and raising questions about sustainability. Analysts expect EPS to grow over the next three years, with the payout ratio projected around 12% in that period, a more comfortable level. The stock has a lengthy but uneven dividend history, including cuts, and the company has issued a large amount of new shares-roughly 67% of outstanding-potentially diluting per-share income. Overall, Capital One may not be an ideal income stock despite the near-term dividend increase.
