  • Palantir Shares Plunge 7.3% on Michael Burry's Warning Over Anthropic Competition
    April 9, 2026, 6:10 PM EDT. Palantir Technologies (PLTR) shares fell 7.3% to $130.49 after investor Michael Burry criticized the company, citing intense competition from AI startup Anthropic. Burry highlighted Anthropic's rapid annual recurring revenue (ARR) growth from $9 billion to $30 billion, signaling a shift towards more cost-effective and user-friendly AI solutions. Thursday's trading volume surged 82% above the three-month average, reflecting heightened investor caution. Despite Palantir's IPO surge since 2020, concerns linger over its valuation and ability to sustain AI revenue growth and government contracts. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq gained modestly, with software peers Microsoft and Oracle posting declines amid sector scrutiny. Burry's comments emphasize the increasing pressure on Palantir to justify its premium price amid evolving AI market dynamics.
