Palantir stock watch: Fed minutes and year-end flows loom after Friday slide

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 03:19 ET — Market closed

  • Palantir ended Friday down 2.81% at $188.71, after trading between $188.62 and $196.35.
  • Investors head into a thin year-end stretch with Federal Reserve meeting minutes due Tuesday.
  • The company has not announced its next earnings date; some calendars list an unconfirmed Feb. 2 release after the close.

Palantir Technologies (PLTR.O) shares finished down 2.81% on Friday at $188.71, heading into the final trading days of the year on the back foot.

The pullback comes as investors navigate a holiday-thinned market where year-end portfolio adjustments can exaggerate moves, especially in high-momentum technology names.

That matters for Palantir because the stock has been a popular proxy for the “AI” trade — shorthand for artificial intelligence software that learns from data to automate tasks and speed decisions — leaving it sensitive to swings in rate expectations and risk appetite. Reuters+1

On Friday, the stock ranged from $188.62 to $196.35, with volume of about 26.26 million shares, according to Investing.com.

Palantir’s 52-week range is $63.40 to $207.52, putting Friday’s close well below its recent peak but far above last year’s lows.

U.S. stocks have been hovering near record levels into year-end, with the S&P 500 around 1% from the 7,000 mark in recent sessions, Reuters reported.

Minutes from the Federal Reserve’s December meeting are due Tuesday. The minutes are a detailed account of policymakers’ debate and are often mined for clues on the interest-rate path.

“Handicapping how many rate cuts we’re going to get next year is a big thing markets are focused on right now,” Michael Reynolds, vice president of investment strategy at Glenmede, told Reuters. Reuters

MarketWatch’s economic calendar shows U.S. pending home sales data due Monday, with other releases — including the Fed minutes — later in the week.

Reuters has also flagged investor attention on rotation away from technology shares, with non-tech areas doing better at times as valuations in parts of the market look more moderate.

The last major company catalyst was in early November, when Palantir lifted its annual revenue forecast again and projected fourth-quarter revenue of $1.327 billion to $1.331 billion on demand for its data-analytics software.

December trading has been choppy: the stock hit $198.88 at an intramonth high and touched $163.12 at a low, Investing.com data show.

Before the next session, traders will watch whether the stock can reclaim the $190 level after slipping below it on Friday. A move back toward $200 would put focus on the $207.52 52-week high.

Palantir has not announced a date for its next results. Wall Street Horizon lists an unconfirmed estimate of Monday, Feb. 2, after the market close — meaning results would arrive after the regular U.S. session ends.

Until Palantir sets that date, the stock’s near-term direction is likely to hinge on broader market cues — especially Fed signals and year-end positioning — that can swing sentiment toward AI-linked names.

  • Stock futures dip after mixed earnings from Microsoft and Meta; S&P 500 hits record high
    May 1, 2026, 6:24 AM EDT. Stocks surged Thursday with the S&P 500 closing above 7,200 for the first time, reaching an all-time high driven by strong earnings from Caterpillar and Alphabet. Caterpillar's nearly 10% jump and positive outlook suggest resilience despite lackluster U.S. economic growth in Q1. Alphabet's revenue beat and increased 2026 capital spending also buoyed markets. However, Meta and Microsoft shares declined 8.6% and 3.9%, respectively, due to rising capital expenditure concerns and disappointing user growth. Experts remain cautious about long-term tech valuations amid heavy investment in AI infrastructure. Still, April marked a strong month for major indices: the S&P 500 up 10.4%, Nasdaq 15.3%, and Dow 7.1%, signaling investor optimism despite underlying uncertainties.
