Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR) closed at $187.90 on November 5, 2025, down 1.49% for the day and extending a sharp two-day drop after its Q3 earnings beat. Despite strong results and raised guidance, investor sentiment soured due to worries about Palantir’s high valuation and its heavy dependence on U.S. government contracts, especially amid the ongoing federal shutdown. Bearish momentum intensified after Michael Burry disclosed a short position, and institutional investors like JPMorgan and T. Rowe Price reduced their stakes. These factors, combined with broader market uncertainty, drove the recent price weakness despite upbeat company forecasts.
