NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 05:03 ET — Premarket
- Palantir shares were up 0.4% in premarket trading after Monday’s slide.
- Investors are bracing for the Federal Reserve’s meeting minutes later Tuesday.
- Thin year-end liquidity is keeping big tech and AI-linked names jumpy.
Palantir Technologies Inc shares rose 0.4% to $184.90 in premarket trading on Tuesday, after ending the prior session at $184.18.
The early move comes with investors focused on the Federal Reserve’s meeting minutes due at 2 p.m. ET, a release that often reshapes expectations for interest rates.
That matters for Palantir because fast-growing software stocks tend to be sensitive to changes in rate outlooks, which feed directly into how investors value future profits.
Palantir fell 2.4% on Monday as U.S. stocks ended lower on a pullback in technology shares, with Nvidia down 1.2% and Tesla off 3.3%, Reuters reported. “It’ll turn out to be a buying opportunity,” said Hank Smith, director and head of investment strategy at Haverford Trust. Reuters
The company also drew fresh attention after CEO Alex Karp rolled out the “Meritocracy Fellowship,” an alternative-to-college program aimed at high school graduates, Investopedia reported. Palantir shares have climbed about 150% in 2025, the report said. Investopedia
Palantir sells data-analysis software used by government agencies and businesses, and has marketed its Artificial Intelligence Platform, or AIP, as a way for customers to deploy AI tools inside their own operations.
For investors, the recurring debate is whether Palantir’s commercial growth can stay strong as early-stage pilots turn into longer contracts, without margins getting squeezed by heavier hiring and deployment costs.
Trading conditions are also getting choppy into the holiday. U.S. stock markets are closed on Thursday for New Year’s Day, while bond markets are set for an early close at 2 p.m. ET on Wednesday, according to Nasdaq and SIFMA schedules.
Before the shortened week ends, markets also get a weekly read on the labor market, with U.S. initial jobless claims due on Wednesday morning, according to CME Group’s economic calendar.
On the company side, Palantir last forecast fourth-quarter revenue of $1.327 billion to $1.331 billion, citing demand for its AI-driven offerings, Reuters reported in early November.
The next earnings report is not yet official, but Nasdaq’s earnings calendar estimates Palantir will report around Feb. 2, 2026.
