Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 4 days.
The thesis — published May 28, 2026
Palantir is seeing strong demand for its AI-enabled software from both governments and companies, and recent reports show continued platform growth. Trading activity is high, which can push the stock higher in short bursts. However, the stock is expensive, insiders have been selling, and many investors are crowded in, so gains are plausible but selective.
Primary drivers
- Government and commercial buyers still want Palantir software
- Recent reports support the view that the platform is growing
- Large cash reserves reduce some valuation worry
- Heavy trading can make short-term moves larger than usual
