Palantir Gains 0.8% as $8.27 Billion Volume Dips 20.39% Below Previous Day Maintains 50-Day Average

On September 4, 2025, Palantir (PLTR) closed with a 0.80% gain, trading at a volume of $8.27 billion, a 20.39% drop from the previous day’s activity. The stock maintained its position above the 50-day moving average, a critical technical benchmark, despite a 19% pullback from its August 12 all-time high of $190.

The company hosted its eighth AIPCon, highlighting a five-year partnership expansion with Lear and a new deal with Lumen Technologies. Government and commercial revenue growth remained pivotal, with U.S. government revenue rising 53% to $426 million and commercial revenue surging 93% to $306 million in Q2, both exceeding analyst expectations. Strategic ties to the Trump administration, including key figures like David Sacks and Peter Thiel, underscored potential long-term contracts, particularly in defense and AI initiatives.

Palantir’s AI-focused strategy, including generative AI applications in healthcare and finance, positioned it as a key player in commercial markets. However, analysts noted the need for clearer pricing models and revenue traction from AI deployments. Institutional investor sentiment remained mixed, with insider selling by CEO Alex Karp and a declining Accumulation/Distribution rating (C-plus) signaling caution. Despite this, PLTR’s Relative Strength Rating of 98 and Composite Rating of 98 reflected strong relative performance in the software sector.
