Palantir (PLTR) stock slips after close as Fed week, Feb. 2 earnings draw nearer

NEW YORK, Jan 26, 2026, 17:57 EST — After-hours.

  • Palantir shares fell 1.3% at the close and were flat in late after-hours trading.
  • Markets are braced for the Fed’s rate decision on Wednesday and a heavy slate of tech earnings.
  • Palantir reports results after the bell on Feb. 2, with guidance in focus.

Palantir Technologies Inc (PLTR) shares slipped 1.3% on Monday and were little changed in after-hours trading, as investors sized up a crowded calendar for rates and earnings. The stock closed at $167.47 and was last at $167.50 in late trading. (StockAnalysis)

The dip came even as U.S. indexes edged higher. The S&P 500 rose 0.5% and the Nasdaq added 0.4% on Monday, with markets turning to the Federal Reserve’s policy decision due on Wednesday, Jan. 28, and a wave of big-tech results later in the week. (AP News)

For Palantir, the next checkpoint is its own report card. The company said it will release fourth-quarter and full-year results on Monday, Feb. 2, after U.S. markets close, and host a webcast at 5 p.m. ET. (Business Wire)

The stock traded between $167.32 and $170.57 on Monday and logged about 22.35 million shares in volume, according to Investing.com data. It is down about 6% from its Dec. 31 close of $177.75. (Investing)

Palantir has tried to keep attention on deal flow. Last week, it clinched an enterprise-wide software agreement with South Korea’s HD Hyundai worth hundreds of millions of dollars over several years, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters. Chief Executive Alex Karp said he was “very bullish” on the Korean market and argued demand in the U.S. is running ahead of what the company can supply. (Reuters)

Investors will watch for signs that momentum is showing up in the numbers. Palantir sells software that pulls data from different systems into one place and can suggest actions, often through automation — a pitch for governments and large companies chasing faster decisions.

The bigger tape matters, too. Palantir is one of a group of AI-linked names that can swing when interest-rate expectations move; higher yields can make future profits look less valuable in today’s dollars.

Traders will listen for any shift in management’s tone on commercial demand, government work and the pace of new contract wins. Any move in costs, including stock-based pay, can also stir a fast reaction.

But the setup cuts both ways. With the stock still priced for strong growth, even a modest stumble in guidance can jar the shares, while a confident outlook can reignite momentum.

Next up is the Fed on Wednesday, then Palantir’s results after the closing bell on Feb. 2, when investors will focus on guidance and any new customer wins tucked into the update.

  • CVR Energy Shares Dive Nearly 10% on Weak Q4 2025 Outlook
    January 26, 2026, 8:12 PM EST. CVR Energy (CVI) shares plunged nearly 10% on Monday after the company forecasted a significant net loss for Q4 2025, ranging from $105 million to $125 million, a sharp reversal from a net profit of $28 million in Q4 2024. The energy firm's refining throughput hovered around 210,000-220,000 barrels per day, slightly below last year's 214,000 bpd. A major drag came from the fertilizer segment, with ammonia utilization plunging to 60%-65% versus 96% a year ago, reflecting operational struggles at its Coffeyville plant. Despite resolving prior shutdown issues, CVR's overall performance disappointed investors, prompting caution among market watchers.
