Palantir Technologies Inc. shares surged 12.40%, recovering from previous losses, with a slight year-to-date dip at -0.11% and a significant yearly gain of 226.70%. Despite a reduced price target of $125 from $141 by Loop Capital, optimism remains due to strong sales guidance for 2025, estimated above $3.5 billion. However, insider selling, notably by CEO Alex Karp, raises caution. Palantir, co-founded by Peter Thiel, remains a leader in a rapidly expanding Big Data market projected to grow significantly over the next several years, complicating long-term stock evaluations.
