Palantir stock holds near $136 before the bell as AI jitters and U.S. data week loom
Palantir shares hovered near $135.90 in premarket trading Monday after a 4.5% gain Friday, with about 1.5 million shares traded early. Software stocks remained volatile as investors awaited U.S. jobs and inflation data. The S&P software group has lagged the broader index by nearly 24 percentage points in three months. Palantir also faced scrutiny in Britain over a £241 million defense AI contract awarded without competition.
