Daily bars for Palantir (PLTR), 2023 to 2025, log scale, split-adjusted, with the ignition bar marked.

Palantir builds data-analysis software for governments and large companies. Before this run its revenue growth had slowed, and the market doubted that a business which placed its own engineers inside each client could grow like a software company. Its AI platform, sold through short hands-on workshops for prospective clients, began to change that, bringing in new US commercial customers. On 5 February 2024 Palantir reported its first full year of profit, citing strong demand for AI. That report opened the year's move: the share price went +340% in calendar 2024.

Revenue growth kept accelerating, and the stock set a closing high of $207.18 on 3 November 2025, the day it reported quarterly results. It then fell as the market repriced expensive software stocks, although the company had missed no revenue forecast; by 25 June 2026 it was down 40% for the year. In August 2026, after second-quarter results, the stock rose 29% in a single day.
