Palantir Dips Premarket Despite 23% One-Month Surge on Pentagon, UK Deals
Palantir shares dipped in Tuesday premarket as tech sector weakness offset Monday’s rally driven by a new Pentagon Maven Smart System contract and a UK deal that underpinned a 23% one-month gain. Despite 70% revenue growth and 137% U.S. commercial expansion, the stock trades at a 255 P/E.
