Palantir Stock Surges 10% in Premarket Trading on TuesdayKey Takeaways:
- Palantir Technologies shares surged in extended trading Monday after the company reported better-than-expected quarterly results.
- The company lifted its full-year guidance on strong demand for its artificial intelligence platform.
- Palantir reported second-quarter revenue of $678.13 million, a 27% year-over-year increase, and net income of $134 million.
- CEO Alex Karp highlighted "unbridled demand" for Palantir's software as a key driver for the strong quarter.
In a significant market move, shares of Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE: NYSE:PLTR ) soared in premarket trading on Tuesday following the company's announcement of its second-quarter earnings. The data analytics giant exceeded Wall Street’s expectations, reporting a record high in quarterly earnings per share, driven by robust demand for its Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP).
Earnings Beat Expectations
Palantir reported second-quarter revenue of $678.13 million, marking a 27% increase compared to the same period last year. This figure surpassed analysts' estimates compiled by Visible Alpha. Net income for the quarter stood at $134 million, translating to an earnings per share (EPS) of 6 cents, which also exceeded projections.
CEO Alex Karp attributed the strong performance to an "unbridled demand for and understanding of the capabilities of our software." The company’s commercial revenue saw a notable increase of 33% to $307 million, with U.S. commercial sales growing by 55% to $159 million.
Strong Full-Year Guidance
Palantir’s positive momentum is reflected in its optimistic guidance for the remainder of the year. The company now anticipates third-quarter revenue to range between $697 million and $701 million, surpassing analysts' forecasts. Furthermore, Palantir has revised its full-year revenue guidance upward to between $2.74 billion and $2.75 billion, up from the previous range of $2.68 billion to $2.69 billion.
Market Reaction and Future Outlook
Despite initial volatility, with shares opening 12% lower on Monday, Palantir staged an impressive intraday reversal. This move, marked by the highest trading volume since early May, suggests that larger market participants may have anticipated a significant earnings-driven move.
Technical Analysis: Key Price Levels
Looking ahead, investors should monitor key technical levels where Palantir (NYSE: NYSE:PLTR ) shares could face selling pressure. The $27 to $29 range is crucial, as it represents a resistance zone from trendlines connecting multiple swing highs since December 2020. A decisive close above this range could pave the way for a move towards the $39 level, where sellers might lock in profits near the February 2021 swing high.
A more bullish scenario could see Palantir retesting the $45 region, challenging its record high set in late January 2021. For long-term investors, projecting a target above the all-time high (ATH) using historical trends suggests a potential price target of around $50.50.
Conclusion
Palantir Technologies continues to solidify its position as a leader in the AI-driven data analytics space. With its robust quarterly performance and increased full-year guidance, the company is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for its AI platform. Investors should keep an eye on key technical levels as Palantir navigates its next growth phase.

PALANTIR Still not late to BUY if you missed it.Palantir (PLTR) has been one of our best performers on our stock portfolio, with the last 3 signals since December 2023 (see charts below), being spot on:
The last one is the more recent (May 02) and as you can see, the Inverse Head and Shoulders (IH&S) pattern right at the bottom of the 1-year Channel Up is following our expected course very closely and is on its way to hit the $29.00 Target.
We see that the delivery of this new Bullish Leg is through a Bullish Megaphone seeking the lower Support cluster of the 4H MA50 (blue trend-line) - 4H MA200 (orange trend-line) - 1D MA50 (yellow trend-line). We are expecting $29 within 30 days.

PLTR, expect new SERIES OF HIGHS in the next coming months!PLTR Growth Momentum hasn't waned a tiny bit. The stock keeps ranging at the 52 wk high most of the time suggesting an "Alpha" stock characteristic. Yesterday's price movement was another testament of buyer's weighty positioning of this soon-to-be-massive-valuation stock. It is named the future MSFT of today's era.
The recent price growth (+6% yesterday's session) was augmented by another good news:
Palantir (NYSE:PLTR) recently acquired about 6 million more shares of Rubicon Technologies (NYSE:RBT), bringing its stake in the firm to 6.2%. Palantir’s purchase of the shares appears to have been required by a deal that the company signed with Rubicon last year. As of this writing, PLTR stock is up by about 5%.
Palantir creates and markets data analysis tools. Meanwhile, Rubicon operates “a digital marketplace for waste and recycling service.” Rubicon is also one of Palantir’s customers.
In our monthly chart, Histogram is recording 5 straight months of ascend -- talk about 'value' strength of this stock. On tri-monthly data, the elusive bottom line shift has appeared after 3 years. This is already a huge hint of the momentum going upside. Net buy volume has surged an impressive 20+ % and it continues to grow on a weekly basis.
Coming QTR2 earnings (Aug. 2023) results is expected to come in 'green' at $536M.
Expect more significant price growth for PLTR. And it's not all hype, there is meat into it.
At current valuation, it is still a bargain in my opinion. A 3-digit valuation in the future will not be farfetched based on metrics and progressive developments on the company.

Palantir Cup and Handle Weekly ChartNYSE:PLTR Palantir Cup and Handle Weekly Chart:
It appears Palantir has developed a cup and handle pattern on the weekly chart and with momentum building it could get over the resistance it has seen at the 27 -28 level. It is a newer stock so one of the C&H rules is the entire pattern forming above the 200-day average market price I have in Green the 40 week average which is a close equivalent and it fails that rule.On the other hand It does form over roughly 24 months, it did have a decrease in volume over the handle development, the buy signal is when the price breaks above the handle’s resistance with increased volume. Technical analysis can and will fail due to other market forces. In my opinion short to mid term we could test 30 as a good start developing support long term it could see 40.
#202425 - a weekly price action market recap and outlook - pltrGood evening and I hope you are well.
Let's do some single stock trading ideas. Palantir.
comment: The stock that lives on hopes and dreams of people who know few about IT and much less about data & analytics, much like Snowflake. Go look at the Snowflake chart. When I have read the ipo price in 2020 I told everyone it was a bubble and the stock should trade below 100 for many years until maybe big profits could come in. They are still years away from those big profits and the stock lost 49% from the IPO price. I do not know anyone who works in Data & Analytics and knows Palantir who tells anything positive about them. It's a hype stock that got good publicity because of investors and defense contracts. That stock will trade below 15 in either late 2024 or 2025. Not financial advice.
current market cycle: My dead dog can tell you it's a traingle and that is a form of a trading range and market is in breakout mode. Your job is to wait for the breakout and hop along, that's it. Now set the same alerts as I have and make money once they ring.
key levels: 20 - 27
bull case: Market is getting rejected at the 50% pb from all time low to all time high. That's bearish af. Only chance bulls have for this to trade back up is a weekly close above 27. Bulls have going for them, that there seems to be big passive buying at 20.50. They are also trading above the daily and weekly 20ema, which is also bullish.
Invalidation is below 20.
bear case: Once that buyer at 20.50 gives up, it's free fall. The triangle will probably play out and we see some downside from 23 to 20/21 again in the short term. Last earnings surprised upwards and bulls used that spike as exit liquidity. Tells you something.
Invalidation is above 26.
short term: bearish for trade back down to 20/21. Short term in this case means several weeks, since I'm posting the weekly chart.
medium-long term: I don't know which way the triangle breaks down to but either way, you can clearly see the big lows and highs. One of those will probably get retested before the other. So set the alarms and trade it when it breaks out.
I hope my insrted illustrations help you.
PLTR: What is this craziness?PLTR price action has gone crazy this week. First, the H&S pattern failed when $19 target failed and pushed above the neckline; creating an inverse H&S pattern. The target for inverse H&S pattern almost got hit, but then the post earning shenanigans began. Price has fallen through the neckline once again and if the last low of $20.20 breaks, then it will be enroute to test 0.618 fib retracement area of $15.29.
In the grand scheme of things, anywhere between $15 to $17 would be a fantastic buy area. If we are fortunate, then this correction would extend, and price will get down to the golden pocket $10.5 area. It could take the rest of the year to play out, but I will start to accumulate shares and setup some option plays to get my bag going. I think the fundamentals of the company remains unchanged and long term it is a triple digit stock. So, anything is a gift and DCA is the way to go.
PLTR Palantir Technologies Options Ahead of EarningsIf you haven`t bought PLTR before the previous earnings:
Then analyzing the options chain and the chart patterns of PLTR Palantir Technologies prior to the earnings report this week,
I would consider purchasing the 23usd strike price Calls with
an expiration date of 2024-5-17,
for a premium of approximately $1.99.
If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.
PALANTIR bottomed on this Inverse Head and Shoulders pattern.Palantir (PLTR) easily hit our $24.50 target last time we published a call with you here (February 06 2024, see chart below) and shortly after started to correct:
The price has now hit and rebounded on the 4H MA200 (orange trend-line), forming so far an Inverse Head and Shoulders (IH&S) pattern, which is technically a bottom formation. This is the very same pattern that was formed on both previous bottoms of the 1-year Channel Up.
On top of that, it broke and re-tested the Lower Highs trend-line, which again on both previous bottoms, it was a successful buy signal. In addition, the 1D RSI rebounded on the 1-year Support Zone.
We are currently on that exact time within the 4H MA50 (blue trend-line) and 1D MA50 (yellow trend-line). A closing above the latter, should be the final buy confirmation. Our medium-term Target is $29.00 which represents the 1.236 Fibonacci extension, which was where the November 21 2023 Higher High was priced.

Cathie's Ark Invest Buys Palantir Stock Ahead Of Q1 Earnings Cathie Wood's Ark Invest, renowned for its bold investment strategies and forward-thinking approach, made significant moves in its portfolio ahead of Palantir Technologies Inc.'s ( NYSE:PLTR ) Q1 earnings announcement. With an eye on emerging trends in AI and technology, Ark Invest seized the opportunity to bolster its holdings in Palantir ( NYSE:PLTR ) and other key stocks, signaling confidence in the companies' growth prospects.
Strategic Accumulation of Palantir Stock:
Ark Invest's ARK Autonomous Technology & Robotics ETF (ARKQ) initiated a flurry of trades, acquiring a substantial number of Palantir shares in anticipation of the company's first-quarter results. The purchase of over 100,000 shares, coupled with additional acquisitions from previous sessions, underscores Ark's bullish stance on Palantir's AI-driven solutions and their potential to drive future growth.
Anticipation for Palantir's Q1 Earnings:
As Palantir ( NYSE:PLTR ) prepares to unveil its Q1 earnings on May 5, analysts project positive results, with expectations of increased earnings per share and revenue compared to the previous quarter. Ark Invest's strategic accumulation of Palantir ( NYSE:PLTR ) stock ahead of the earnings announcement reflects confidence in the company's ability to deliver strong financial performance amidst growing demand for its innovative technologies.
Diversified Portfolio Expansion:
In addition to Palantir ( NYSE:PLTR ), Ark Invest diversified its portfolio with strategic investments in Meta Platforms Inc. (formerly Facebook) and Roku Inc., seizing opportunities presented by market fluctuations. Despite market volatility, Ark Invest remained undeterred, capitalizing on the sell-off of Roku shares to acquire a significant stake in the streaming equipment maker, demonstrating conviction in its long-term growth prospects.
Embracing the Electric Vehicle Revolution:
Ark Invest also expanded its footprint in the electric vehicle (EV) sector, shifting focus to BYD Co. Ltd., a prominent player in the EV market. With Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway holding a stake in BYD, Ark Invest's investment in the company underscores confidence in its potential to disrupt the EV landscape and contribute to ARKQ's portfolio growth.
PLTR: Correction has begunI have been waiting for a correction in the stock since selling out of it in early February. There has been a couple of months long distribution pattern formation and now a confirmed breakdown this week. I had been short for a couple of weeks and second guessing myself a few times because bulls were heavily defending the neckline for H&S pattern. It almost formed a re-accumulation pattern and a falling wedge, almost shaking me out of my short position. I am glad I held on due to the Elliott wave pattern and now comfortably sitting on a pretty good cushion. I am planning to get out before the B wave bounce starts, which I think will be at the 0.764 retrace area at $19 which is also a very large volume support. After that will look for a 3 wave bounce. Then possible short again for a 5 wave down move down between $19 and $15 area. I am not sure if the retracement will be deep or not, but there is a lot of geo political turmoil going on, which might favor the stock. Whatever it might be, I think between $15 and $10 will be a great once in a decade buy, something like Tesla back in 2012. There is however a chance that all of the rally and this correction is part of a wave B and a very large selloff to single digits or even pennies are yet to come. We will think about that if a lot of things happen first. For now, I am trading my short term bearish, long term bullish plan.
PALANTIR: Best buy opportunity since January.PLTR is bearish on its 1D technical outlook (RSI = 33.299, MACD = -0.640, ADX = 35.931) as it trades under its 1D MA50 and today reached the 1D MA100 for the first time since February 5th. Even though the 1 year Channel Up still has some downside to bottom on its 1D MA200, this is technically the best buy opportunity since the January 31st low as the 1D RSI entered the 1 year Support Zone. This is the 3rd correction inside this Channel and each leg is -4% shorter, so the current -25% correction from the top is a fair Low to buy. The accumulation at the bottom of those corrective waves has been between 4-6 weeks so the market may take its time to accumulate towards the end of May and then rally aggressively. Fair target, the 1.236 Fibonacci extension (TP = 29.00).

Palantir: Time to Exit?Upon closer reevaluation of Palantir, we continue to believe that we have not yet completed Wave (2) and that the price should not continue to rise. Our initial hypothesis was invalidated; we first expected to see Wave 5 at $19. Now, we assume Wave 5, or rather Wave (1), at $21.85, having developed Waves A and B, with Wave B at $25.69. This should also form our top and serve as an Expanded Flat, which we set from Wave A downwards. This closely aligns with the 61.8% level, which is highly probable for a Wave (2). Our target range is between $12 and $9.36. We should not fall below this; otherwise, we would consider closing the position down to $7.19, although we deem this unlikely. We believe the price will move within this range. We will place a limit buy order only after observing a significant weakness in Palantir.
Palantir Stock Plummets by 6% Amidst Generative AI Hype CyclePalantir Technologies (NYSE: NYSE:PLTR ) has been on a wild ride in the stock market, experiencing both exhilarating highs and nerve-wracking lows. The latest twist in this rollercoaster journey comes with an analyst downgrade from Monness, Crespi, Hardt & Co., sending the stock plummeting by 6%. The reason? An 'Unprecedented Generative AI Hype Cycle' that has inflated the company's valuation beyond what some analysts consider reasonable.
The Hype Cycle:
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) has been the talk of the town lately, promising to revolutionize industries with its ability to create text, images, video, and even computer programming code autonomously. Palantir, known for its data-mining and analytics prowess, has eagerly jumped on the generative AI bandwagon, aiming to leverage this technology for growth in commercial markets.
Analyst Downgrade:
Brian White's downgrade of Palantir ( NYSE:PLTR ) stock to 'Sell' from 'Neutral' with a price target of $20 reflects concerns over the stock's sky-high valuation amidst the generative AI frenzy. Despite Palantir's significant gains of nearly 43% in 2024, White believes the company's valuation has become "egregiously rich," leaving investors vulnerable to potential downside risks.
Reality Check:
While Palantir ( NYSE:PLTR ) has made strides in capitalizing on the AI trend and expanding its market reach, concerns linger over the lumpiness of government-related contracts and spotty execution. Additionally, the stock's recent retreat from its March high underscores the volatility inherent in Palantir's journey.
Disclaimer: Investing in stocks involves risks, and past performance is not indicative of future results. Investors should conduct thorough research and consult with financial advisors before making investment decisions.
PLTR: Obvious distribution happening, time to buy is coming soonPLTR is stuck in a range. Distribution patterns are forming. RSI is holding on to a critical level. Good new out there is not making any dent to the price action. The ticker has a history of falling off the cliff after being range bound. EW count is suggesting a full 5 wave sequence is complete. So, basically it is time to hurry up and wait. PLTR has just completed the first minor degree wave 1 cycle. It is expected to see a deep correction, but the company fundamentals are very strong. My plan is to watch the EW wave formation in lower timeframes and the fib retrace areas to identify buying zones. I am willing to accumulate as price is going down, because the probability for this stock to go much, much, much, higher is too great to ignore. Price targets will come soon when the correction intensifies.
$PLTR Weekly Chart Double Top PierceNYSE:PLTR Weekly Chart Double Top Pierce, to break through this, wait for bullish consolidation.
A "Double Top" in technical analysis refers to a chart pattern that occurs when a security's price forms two consecutive peaks at a similar level, separated by a trough. It typically signifies a potential trend reversal from an uptrend to a downtrend. In the case of the NYSE:PLTR weekly chart, a Double Top pattern suggests that the stock price of PLTR reached a peak, retraced, and then failed to surpass the previous peak, indicating a possible reversal in the stock's upward momentum. Traders and investors often use this pattern to make decisions about selling or shorting the stock, anticipating further price declines.

Palantir's role in this venture underscores its position as a leader in providing AI-enabled capabilities to bolster national defense efforts.
"This award demonstrates the Army's leadership in acquiring and fielding the emerging technologies needed to bolster U.S. defense in this era of software-defined warfare," remarked Akash Jain, president of ( NYSE:PLTR ) Palantir's U.S. government business, in a statement. The company's commitment to innovation and strategic partnerships has positioned it as a linchpin in the modernization of military operations.
The integration of technologies from industry stalwarts such as Northrop Grumman, Anduril Industries, and L3Harris Technologies further underscores the collaborative nature of this endeavor. By leveraging the collective expertise of industry leaders, Palantir ( NYSE:PLTR ) aims to deliver a battlefield system that sets a new standard for efficiency and effectiveness in military operations.

Palantir : In-depth Chart Analysis and Future OutlookIn our detailed examination of the daily chart for Palantir Technologies, we've uncovered the development of a 5-wave cycle culminating in our significant Wave (1). We are currently navigating through Wave (2), which appears to be shaping up as an expanded Flat Correction. Closer analysis suggests that the extent to which Wave B overshoots should directly correlate with the extent to which Wave C dips below Wave A, precisely targeting the 61.8% retracement level. This makes the $10.94 level particularly intriguing for us.
Given the presence of a gap near the 78.6% retracement level, there's also a possibility that this gap might be filled. Our conviction in Palantir's potential and the compelling narrative of the chart argues against being prematurely stopped out. Consequently, we're considering setting our stop-loss strategically below the $7.19 level, the subordinate Wave 2, at $7.
For the upcoming Wave (3), we anticipate a minimum rise to 161%, with the potential to extend up to 361%, projecting a price range between $32 and $58 for Wave (3).
PLTR: waiting for the retracePLTR has exploded in February. It is also looking like finishing up the five wave sequence with an ending expanding diagonal pattern. There could be one more spike up before the sequence is over and we see a rather healthy retrace. the first leg of the retrace could be as explosive as the way up, followed by a bounce and another leg of drawn out accumulation phase. I will be planning on putting in a very, very long term (10 year plus) position in PLTR as it completes the intermediate wave 2 and gears up for a long wave 3 that could take this stock to triple digit numbers. The drawdown may coexist with the overall market correction that is due very soon and could last for two to three months. This is one of the few stocks I would like my money to be in.
PLTR Palantir Technologies Options Ahead of EarningsIf you haven`t bought PLTR ahead of the previous earnings:
Then analyzing the options chain and the chart patterns of PLTR Palantir Technologies prior to the earnings report this week,
I would consider purchasing the 19usd strike price Calls with
an expiration date of 2024-3-1,
for a premium of approximately $0.73.
If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.
PALANTIR starting a new multi-month rally to $45Palantir (PLTR) has been trading within a long-term Channel Up pattern every since the August 05 2022 High. The recent consolidation within the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) and 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) was successful as it held the latter as Support and broke above the former. Since we are technically on the 2nd long-term Bullish Leg of the Channel Up, this break-out, along with the 1D RSI breaking above its Lower Highs trend-line, should set in motion a multi-month rally similar to the one that started on the May 04 2023 Low.
This gives us three Targets to aim in succession:
a) $24.50, which represents a +58.90% rise such as the one that peaked on November 21 2023.
b) $37.00, which represents a +136.51% rise such as the one that peaked on June 07 2023.
c) $45.00, which represents a +243.33% rise such as the one that peaked on August 01 2023.
The latter two would break the original (blue) Channel Up and start a divering (dotted) more aggressive one.
