Palantir (PLTR) Stock Soars on AI Hype – Is It a Bubble or the Next Tech Giant?

Palantir (PLTR) slips ~5.7% as new marketing & smart‑city deals land — What’s moving the stock today (Nov. 6, 2025)

Updated Nov. 6, 2025 — 16:47 UTC

Live price (intraday)
As of 16:47 UTC, Palantir shares trade at $177.24, roughly ‑5.7% on the day, after opening at $188.00 and ranging between $176.97–$190.94 so far.

Key takeaways

  • PLTR is lower today as investors continue to digest this week’s blowout Q3 results alongside valuation worries that surfaced after earnings. Reuters notes Palantir guided Q4 revenue to $1.327–$1.331B and lifted full‑year sales to $4.396–$4.40B following a 63% Y/Y Q3 revenue jump to $1.18B. [1]
  • Fresh commercial catalysts today (Nov. 6):
    • Palantir and Stagwell (STGW) unveiled an AI marketing platform built on Foundry; Stagwell shares spiked on the news. [2]
    • Palantir and Valoriza (Spain) announced a partnership to use AIP/Foundry to unify IoT data and optimize waste and urban services. [3]
  • Why the stock is still under pressure: valuation remains the swing factor. Reuters highlighted forward P/E multiples above 200x and noted renewed bearish chatter earlier this week after Michael Burry’s short bet. [4]
  • Background: Independent coverage this week also emphasized record metrics (U.S. commercial +121% Y/Y) and a third straight guidance hike. [5]

What happened today (Nov. 6)

1) Two partnership headlines hit before and during the session

  • Marketing tech with Stagwell: Palantir and Stagwell announced an “industry‑first” AI and data platform that pairs Palantir Foundry with Stagwell’s Code and Theory orchestration layer and The Marketing Cloud’s datasets. The companies say the MVP already has early client adoption via Stagwell’s Assembly, with broader rollout planned. Stagwell shares jumped in morning trade on the announcement. [6]
  • Smart‑city/urban services with Valoriza (Spain): A separate release detailed use of Palantir AIP and Foundry to unify real‑time data from IoT waste containers, vehicle fleets, city infrastructure, and workforce systems to improve route efficiency and service quality. The announcement crossed at 06:59 ET. [7]

2) Price action in context

Today’s decline extends the post‑earnings valuation shake‑out seen since Tuesday despite significant beats and a strong outlook. Reuters reported Palantir’s Q4 guide above estimates and reiterated concerns from some market participants about the implied slowdown from ~63% Q3 growth to ~61% in Q4 and still‑lofty multiples. [8]


Earnings & outlook recap (this week)

  • Q3 2025: Revenue $1.18B (+63% Y/Y); adjusted EPS $0.21; U.S. commercial +121% Y/Y to $397M. [9]
  • Guidance:Q4 revenue $1.327–$1.331B; FY25 revenue $4.396–$4.40B (third straight raise). [10]

Those headline numbers underpin the long‑term bull case, but the valuation overhang is shaping intraday moves. Reuters this week also flagged a forward P/E above 200x, amplifying sensitivity to any hint of deceleration. [11]


Sentiment & setup

  • Valuation vs. momentum: Tuesday’s drop came even as results beat across the board, with reports of high‑profile short positions (e.g., Michael Burry) adding to near‑term volatility. [12]
  • Commercial expansion narrative: Today’s Stagwell and Valoriza announcements broaden the story beyond defense and government into marketing tech and smart‑city operations, reinforcing Palantir’s push to scale AIP across industries. [13]

What to watch next

  • Deal momentum: Watch for additional large commercial wins following this week’s announcements and any follow‑through metrics on AIP adoption. (Today’s Stagwell release mentions MVP adoption already in market.) [14]
  • Valuation tolerance: If multiples remain elevated, guidance “beats” may need to stay sizable to support the share price—something multiple outlets flagged this week. [15]
  • Counterparty impact: Stagwell’s outsized move today (shares +30% in morning trading) could keep attention on the marketing platform’s revenue potential for Palantir. [16]

Today’s headlines at a glance (Nov. 6, 2025)

  • Palantir & Stagwell launch AI marketing platform; MVP live with early client use. [17]
  • Palantir & Valoriza partner to use AIP/Foundry across Spanish urban/waste operations; unify IoT and operations data. [18]
  • STGW stock pops on partnership (morning move reported around +30%). [19]
  • PLTR trades lower intraday as post‑earnings valuation debate continues. (Q3 beat, Q4 guide above estimates earlier this week.) [20]

Bottom line

Palantir is executing (big beats, higher guidance) and broadening into new verticals (marketing tech, smart‑city), but valuation is the fulcrum for near‑term price action. Today’s fresh partnerships expand the commercial TAM narrative, even as shares backtrack intraday while the market recalibrates what level of growth is “enough” at Palantir’s multiples. [21]

  • Morning News Wrap-Up: Thursday's Biggest Stock Market Stories
    November 6, 2025, 6:40 PM EST. Today's wrap centers on the essential caution around backtested results and the disclosures investors should weigh before following model-driven picks. We parse how regulatory considerations shape the presentation of fees, performance, and liquidity assumptions, and why historical data may not predict future returns. The piece underscores that backtesting is retrospective, can overstate gains, and may omit real-world factors like trading costs and market liquidity. With these caveats in mind, readers are reminded to distinguish between illustrative strategies and what actually appears in portfolios, as markets react to a sea of macro drivers rather than simulations alone.

  • Cramer's favorite drug stock could rise as market selloff deepens
    November 6, 2025, 6:34 PM EST. On Thursday's Morning Meeting, the S&P 500 slipped as fresh data signaled labor-market weakness - October job cuts reached a 22-year high per Challenger, Gray & Christmas. Cramer tied the drag to the ongoing government shutdown and FAA capacity risks if no deal by Friday, warning spillover into the real economy. In stock news, Eli Lilly (LLY) jumped after a Trump administration deal to lower obesity-drug prices with Novo Nordisk, expanding the TAM for Zepbound. Lilly also reported positive mid-stage results for its eloralintide obesity drug (roughly 20.1% weight loss at 48 weeks) with late-stage enrollment planned next month. Cramer urged caution on Texas Roadhouse (TXRH) ahead of earnings amid high cattle costs and weak dining demand. Other names: Arm, e.l.f. Beauty, Lyft, DoorDash, Fortinet.
  • Stocks fall as S&P 500, Dow and Nasdaq slide; tech leads losses; Datadog and Rockwell rise on earnings
    November 6, 2025, 6:32 PM EST. U.S. stock markets fell Thursday as investors digested another wave of earnings. The S&P 500 declined about 1%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell around 449 points, and the Nasdaq slid roughly 1.6%. Technology stocks led the losses, with NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Amazon down notably. Cautious guidance and weak results kept concerns about overvaluation in focus after a strong run this year. The ongoing government shutdown and a weaker inflation picture also weighed on sentiment. Some names bucked the trend: Datadog jumped after earnings, and Rockwell Automation rose on upbeat forecasts. Airlines faced pressure as the FAA signaled reduced air traffic due to staffing challenges.
