Palantir (PLTR) is a data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) company that focuses on software solutions for government and commercial clients. Palantir stock had a great run in 2024, rising by 340%, wildly outperforming the overall market gain of 24%. The company’s addition to the S&P 500 Index ($SPX) and the Nasdaq-100 ($IUXX) last year fueled the rally even further.
Palantir continues to be a key player in AI-driven data analytics with outstanding financials. However, a few red flags, such as its high valuation and insider stock sales, have made analysts skeptical. So far this year, PLTR has gained 4.1% but is down nearly 40% from its 52-week high.
