Partial Published before the outcome was known, scored automatically when the window closed on February 4, 2026 — -26.6% at the close.
Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 18% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published November 6, 2025
Palantir looks healthier in the near term: price momentum has improved and there are signs that lots more people are buying than usual. A new partnership with Stagwell (Nov 6) brings Palantir's AI into marketing, widening reach beyond government. On the flip side, news of a big short bet can increase swings, and valuation is a risk. Over the next 0-3 months, buy dips and add only after strength confirms demand.
Primary drivers
- New Stagwell deal uses Palantir's AI in marketing, opening more customer doors
- Price trend looks better, with more buyers stepping in than we saw recently
- Sales mix shifting toward businesses, not just government clients over time
- High short interest can swing the stock sharply, raising risk
How it played out
PLTR: target was not reached
Lyra published PLTR on 2025-11-06 at $190.07 for a short-term window ending 2026-02-04. The thesis expected 26% growth and pointed to better price momentum, more buyers, a new Stagwell partnership bringing Palantir's artificial intelligence into marketing, a longer shift toward business customers, and high short interest as a swing risk.
Inside the window, PLTR peaked at $198.88 on 2025-12-22, a 4.6% gain. That peak stayed below $239.49, so the target was never reached. By 2026-02-04, it ended at $139.54. The thesis partly caught a small move higher, but it missed the published upside case.
