Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 42% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published March 4, 2026
Palantir is leading in AI and defense software, but the stock has risen a lot already. Insiders planning to sell shares could add selling pressure and cause short-term drops. Buying on a pullback gives a better chance to catch further gains, but expect big day-to-day swings tied to news and global events; size positions accordingly.
Primary drivers
- Strong AI and defense demand driving investor interest
- Insider selling may add short-term selling pressure
- Stock has run up; better to wait for a pullback entry
- Geopolitical events can cause large swings; keep positions small
