Behaviour On Record

What PLTR's own history says about today's numbers

Realized volatility (21d)
24.5% 0th pct
Below its peak

vs 200-day average
+37.0%
Up days (1y)
48%

Palantir Technologies Inc. is currently running 24.5% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against PLTR's own 6 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 0th percentile — unusually subdued by its own history, against a typical reading of 58.2%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.

PLTR is trading -0.7% below its running peak. Across 6 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -41.9%, and the deepest was -68.1% in 2022. The current pullback is therefore shallower than what this stock gives back in a typical year, which is context worth having before treating it as a dislocation.

Price sits +37.0% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 65th percentile — a somewhat wider gap than its own norm. Over the past year PLTR closed higher on 48% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a rising streak.

On October specifically: over 7 years of records, PLTR finished the month higher 6 of 7 times, with a median return of +8.1% and an average of +7.0%. Its strongest month historically has been November at +32.8% on average, its weakest February at -5.4%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.

Overnight risk is measurable too: PLTR has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 105 of 1,521 sessions (6.9% of the time), with the largest gaps running +6.8% and -9.6%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

Across the last 3 dated reports on file, PLTR moved an average of 5.7% in the session after earnings, closing higher 1 of those 3 times, with a median move of -1.4% and a largest of +11.0%.

All figures computed from 1,522 daily closes between 2020-09-30 and 2026-10-14, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against PLTR's own 6-year history, not a peer group or index.

What did this article say?
On October 8, 2026, Palantir Technologies director Lauren Elaina Friedman Stat sold 5,026 shares for $1,000,174, reducing her direct holdings to 46,402 shares and maintaining control of 97,531 shares overall. The transaction was reported in a Form 4 filing with the SEC. The sale represents a significant outflow of shares from a senior insider, potentially signaling a lack of confidence in the company’s near‑term prospects.
What did this article say?
Palantir’s Chief Technology Officer Shyam Sankar criticized AI safety advocates as a "doomsday cult" and argued that the focus on risk distracts from economic benefits. He stated that the U.S. Pentagon has already adopted Palantir’s models, replacing those from Anthropic after a dispute over safeguards. Sankar emphasized that public anxiety about AI is driven more by ideological narratives than technical realities. The remarks suggest continued military interest in Palantir’s technology and reinforce the company’s position as a key AI provider.
What did this article say?
Baird lifted its price target for Palantir Technologies (PLTR) to $250 from $200, a 25% increase, signaling renewed confidence in the company’s growth prospects. The upgrade came after Palantir reported Q2 revenue of $1.935 billion and a GAAP operating margin of 47.1%, with management projecting Q3 revenue of $2.160–$2.164 billion. Despite the bullish outlook, PLTR shares fell 0.59% on October 13, reflecting short‑term market volatility. The analyst upgrade suggests investors expect sustained customer spending and stronger earnings, but the immediate price reaction indicates caution about the timing of those gains.
What did this article say?
On October 9, Palantir Technologies (PLTR) shares climbed 5.17% to a new high of $209.05 after Barclays and Goldman Sachs upgraded the stock to Overweight and Buy, respectively, citing potential growth in sovereign AI markets. The upgrades were accompanied by price targets of $265 and $230, signaling confidence in the company’s ability to capture new government and enterprise AI demand. The rally reflected investor optimism that Palantir’s data‑centric AI solutions could expand beyond traditional sectors into broader sovereign applications. The market reaction underscored the perceived material upside from these analyst endorsements.
What did this article say?
Palantir Technologies announced that it will host its second annual pop‑up event in Seoul on October 22–23, 2026, offering Korean fans and partners exclusive access to its Fall/Winter 2026 merchandise collection. The event follows the inaugural 2025 pop‑up, which attracted nearly 5,000 visitors and reinforced South Korea as one of Palantir’s largest commercial markets outside the United States. The announcement highlights the company’s ongoing focus on international retail expansion.
What did this article say?
An analyst upgraded Palantir from a strong sell to a buy, citing a reassessment of the company’s business model and the diminishing threat of AI turning customers into competitors. The upgrade was driven by evidence that customers are building their own AI tools, which in turn increases demand for Palantir’s platform integration services. Management’s encouragement of customer‑developed AI solutions is viewed as complementary, reinforcing ongoing revenue growth. The analyst highlighted that this shift in perception supports a bullish outlook for the company.
What did this article say?
Palantir (PLTR) closed at a new all‑time high of $209.05, up 5% on the day, after reporting record Q2 results. The company posted 93% year‑over‑year revenue growth, 157% net dollar retention, and signed 220 deals worth over $1 million each. Analysts forecast Q3 revenue of $2.25‑$2.30 B and expect another guidance lift, reinforcing confidence in sustained momentum.
What did this article say?
Goldman Sachs reduced its 12‑month price target for Palantir Technologies (PLTR) by 18 percent, reflecting a more cautious outlook on the company’s near‑term prospects. The downgrade follows broader market volatility and questions about the sustainability of Palantir’s revenue growth. The firm cited weaker earnings guidance and increased competition as key factors driving the target cut. This adjustment signals a modest negative shift for investors, potentially impacting short‑term trading activity. The move underscores the need for Palantir to demonstrate stronger financial performance to regain analyst confidence.
What did this article say?
The article notes that Palantir’s shares have risen more than 1,000% over the past three years, highlighting the company’s rapid growth trajectory. Analysts point to the firm’s expanding client base and diversified product offerings as key drivers of this performance. No new earnings guidance or major contracts were disclosed, so the upward trend is seen as a continuation of existing momentum rather than a new catalyst.
