    February 3, 2026, 7:46 PM EST. Palantir Technologies surged 6.75% to $157.88 on Feb. 3, driven by record Q4 revenue growth and strong demand for its AI-powered data analytics platforms.

Trading volume soared to 111.3 million shares, nearly triple its average. Despite a broader market decline-S&P 500 down 0.85%, Nasdaq down 1.43%-Palantir benefited from bullish analyst upgrades and price targets reaching $235. Investors are now watching if the company can sustain its rapid growth through fiscal 2026 amid rising AI infrastructure spending pressures on peers like Microsoft and Oracle.
