What’s moving Palantir today

1) Post‑earnings comedown and valuation debate
Earlier this week Palantir delivered a record quarter and raised guidance again. Still, the stock has been choppy as investors debate how much good news is already priced in. Reuters flagged a forward P/E above 240x and a small Q4 growth deceleration vs. Q3, a combo that has invited profit‑taking after a year of sharp gains. [2]

2) Broader “AI trade” wobble
Today’s tone across AI‑linked names is cautious. Barron’s live coverage noted AI stocks “suddenly reeling,” with Palantir a focal point after the week’s rally/whipsaw. The macro backdrop hasn’t helped either—earlier in the week, big‑bank CEOs warned of a potential market pullback, which pressured richly valued tech. [3]

3) Fresh headlines: insider sale
News cycles today highlighted a Form 4 showing director Alexander D. Moore sold ~20,000 shares (~$4.09M) on Nov. 3 at ~$203–$207. That sale hit feeds again this morning and added to the “take profits” narrative even though such sales can be pre‑scheduled. [4]

4) Analyst chatter stays active
A round of target tweaks continues to trickle in. Daiwa Capital Markets today lifted its PLTR target to $200 with a Neutral/Hold stance, while noting a stack of recent target hikes from large brokers earlier this week. [5]

5) Tape‑level pressure
By midday, Dow Jones Newswires/Morningstar said PLTR was on track for its lowest close since Sept. 17 before stabilizing off session lows. That aligns with the intraday low near $169.06. [6]


Quick recap: the week’s earnings numbers investors are still digesting

  • Q3 revenue:$1.18B, +63% y/y (record)
  • Adjusted EPS:$0.21 (beat)
  • Q4 revenue guide:$1.327B–$1.331B
  • Full‑year 2025 guide:$4.396B–$4.40B, raised for the third straight quarter
  • Color: Management called commercial growth “otherworldly”; U.S. Army’s memo to standardize on Palantir Vantage and a Nvidia partnership featured prominently in commentary.
    These figures and takeaways were confirmed across company‑cited summaries and wire coverage. [7]

Key levels & context

  • All‑time momentum vs. pullback risk: Reuters notes PLTR has more than doubled in 2025, making valuation skittishness a live issue on down days. [8]
  • Today’s technical context: Morning headlines pointed to the lowest close since Sept. 17 if downside persisted; intraday action briefly broke below $170 before recovering. [9]

Today’s headlines at a glance

  • “AI stocks are suddenly reeling. Just look at Palantir” (market tone) — Barron’s live. [10]
  • “Why Palantir stock is crashing this week” (valuation/profit‑taking angle) — Motley Fool syndication. [11]
  • “On track for lowest close since September” (data talk) — Morningstar/DJ. [12]
  • “Daiwa raises target to $200, Neutral”MarketBeat. [13]
  • “Director Alexander D. Moore sells ~$4.1M of PLTR” (Form 4) — Investing.com/TradingView summaries. [14]

How to interpret today’s move

  1. Nothing broke in the fundamentals this week. The company beat on revenue and EPS and raised guidance again. That tends to underpin dips, especially if the AI pipeline stays hot. [15]
  2. Valuation is the swing factor. With forward multiples north of 200x (per LSEG data cited by Reuters), small disappointments—or even great results that aren’t “great enough”—can prompt sharp swings. [16]
  3. Headline sensitivity is high. Insider sales (even routine ones) and “AI trade” narratives can amplify intraday volatility. [17]

What to watch next

  • Follow‑through after this week’s whipsaw: Does PLTR hold above the upper‑$160s area flagged intraday? (That’s where buyers stepped in today.)
  • Contract flow and federal budgets: Government and defense AI spend, plus enforcement of Army Vantage usage, remain medium‑term demand drivers to monitor. [18]
  • Analyst/model updates: After the print, more models are being refreshed; expect target/estimate drift as the Street digests 63% growth and the new FY guide. [19]

Bottom line for Nov. 7, 2025

Palantir shares edged lower today as the market weighed a blockbuster quarter against rich valuation, a widely circulated insider sale and a softer risk tone around AI. The fundamental story didn’t change this week—guidance went up—but the price you pay remains the debate. If Palantir keeps converting pilots to platform deals across government and U.S. commercial, dips like today’s tend to serve as sentiment resets rather than regime changes; if growth cools, the multiple has air beneath it. For now, today’s action looks like digestion, not deterioration. [20]

Stock Market Today

  • Howard Hughes Holdings intrinsic value: DCF places fair value near market price
    November 7, 2025, 8:54 PM EST. Howard Hughes Holdings Inc. (NYSE: HHH) appears near its estimated fair value after a two-stage Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis. The model yields a fair value of US$91.22 per share, vs. a US$78.25 market price, suggesting the stock trades close to fair value. The analysis uses a two-stage FCF to Equity approach, projecting ten years of cash flows and a conservative terminal value, with a PVCF of about US$3.2b. An industry peers' discount to fair value of 6.4% implies broader peers are trading at larger discounts. Note that multiple methods exist; the DCF is just one framework, and assumptions (growth, discount rate) materially affect outcomes. The summary references analyst estimates for growth rates in the initial period and then slowing growth toward a steady state.
