Palantir Technologies’ shares closed at $174.05, up 1.11% on the day. Trading was volatile: the stock fell as low as $164.58 intraday before rebounding to a session high of $177.18. Total volume approached 61.7 million shares, above many large-cap software peers. In the first hours after the bell, after‑hours quotes fluctuated—~$174.64 at 4:30 p.m. ET, then ~$171.88 by 8:00 p.m. ET. Investing
For context, Palantir ended Monday at $193.61, so despite today’s bounce the stock finished the week about 10% below that level. It also remains roughly 16% off its recent 52‑week peak ($207.52), but far above its 52‑week low near $58.85. Investing
What moved the stock
1) A calmer tape—AI names stabilized into the close
U.S. equities ended mixed Friday after an early selloff, with AI leaders (including Palantir) among the gainers into the close. Traders’ focus shifted to Nvidia’s earnings next week, a potential catalyst for the broader AI complex. Reuters
2) Fresh analyst commentary keeps valuation front and center
Freedom Capital Markets nudged its PLTR target to $170 (from $125) but reiterated Sell, arguing that after a huge year‑to‑date run the shares embed aggressive growth assumptions (“priced for perfection”). The note follows Palantir’s strong Q3 but underscores the valuation debate that has dogged the stock during the latest rally. TipRanks
3) U.K. defense momentum stayed in the headlines
Coverage today emphasized Palantir’s expanded push in the U.K. defense market. The company’s U.K. lead, Louis Mosley, flagged “significant” additional investment and progress toward a five‑year, ~£750m MoD deal—narratives that reinforce a September U.K. government announcement of a strategic partnership intended to unlock up to £1.5bn in Palantir‑related investment and opportunities over five years. Investors often treat these headlines as read‑through for long‑duration revenue and geographic diversification. TipRanks
Under the hood: the fundamentals investors are trading
- Q3 snapshot (reported Nov. 3): Revenue $1.18B and adjusted operating margin ~51%; management guided Q4 revenue to $1.327–$1.331B and lifted FY‑2025 revenue outlook. Those updates were widely viewed as solid, though the stock’s sharp run‑up into results left little room for disappointment and refocused attention on valuation. Palantir Investors
- Valuation watch: As of the earnings cycle, coverage noted Palantir trading at lofty forward multiples versus mega‑cap AI peers—a key reason some analysts (like Freedom Capital today) stay cautious even as they boost targets. Reuters
Today’s market context for PLTR
Friday’s session featured choppy index action—S&P 500 near flat, Nasdaq slightly higher, Dow lower—as investors weighed the path of Fed policy, lingering inflation concerns, and the AI trade’s durability ahead of Nvidia’s print. In that setting, PLTR’s rebound looked like part of a selective AI bid returning into the close. Reuters
What to watch next
- Nvidia earnings (next week): The single most important read‑through for AI software sentiment. A beat/raise could re‑ignite flows into AI beneficiaries like Palantir; a disappointment could pressure high‑multiple names. Reuters
- Deal cadence in the U.K. and Europe: Watch for formalization of the reported MoD deal and additional cross‑Europe wins; the September U.K. partnership created a framework for £1.5bn in investment and up to £750m of opportunities over five years. Timing and scope matter for backlog and visibility. Gov
- Commercial AIP adoption vs. government mix: Q3 showed strong U.S. commercial momentum; sustainability and international traction will remain focal points on the next update. Palantir Investors
By the numbers — Palantir’s Nov. 14 trading day
- Close: $174.05 (+1.11% d/d)
- Open / High / Low: $167.05 / $177.18 / $164.58
- Volume: ~61.71M
- After-hours (reference points): ~$174.64 at 4:30 p.m. ET; ~$171.88 at 8:00 p.m. ET
- 52‑week range:$58.85 – $207.52 Investing
Bottom line
PLTR closed higher Friday as AI sentiment steadied, but valuation remains the tug‑of‑war: bulls point to deal momentum (notably in the U.K. defense arena) and double‑digit growth + expanding margins, while bears warn the stock already prices in years of near‑flawless execution. With Nvidia’s results on deck next week and U.K. developments still unfolding, volatility likely stays elevated—and headlines will keep doing the near‑term steering. Palantir Investors
