  • Palantir Stock Drops After Michael Burry Critiques Company Amidst Anthropic Growth
    April 9, 2026, 2:27 PM EDT. Palantir Technologies (PLTR) shares dropped nearly 7% after investor Michael Burry, known for 'The Big Short', criticized the company, claiming AI startup Anthropic is 'eating Palantir's lunch.' Burry highlighted Anthropic's rapid surge in annual recurring revenue from $9 billion to $30 billion as evidence that businesses favor simpler, cheaper AI solutions. He reiterated his bearish stance on Palantir, describing it as a low-margin consulting business reliant on on-site staff deployments. Anthropic, by contrast, offers a plug-and-play AI API that firms can integrate instantly. This shift toward direct AI provider relationships raises concerns about Palantir's lack of proprietary AI technology. Recent geopolitical tensions, including a Pentagon ban on Anthropic's AI, further complicated Palantir's positioning after the company was ordered to remove Anthropic's AI from key platforms.
