PLTR Plunged -5.56%: AI Data Giant Tests Support, $156 Level in Focus

Latest Close Data

Closed at $167.86 on 2026-01-05, down -5.56% ($-9.89). Currently sits 19.1% below its 52-week high of $207.52.

Core Market Drivers

The sell-off appears driven by broad market profit-taking in high-multiple tech names.

Despite the drop, Palantir's core government and commercial AI platform businesses remain fundamentally strong, though investor sentiment is shifting towards valuation concerns.

Technical Analysis

  • High volume of 60.6M shares (Volume Ratio: 2.70) confirms distribution.

  • The RSI(6) at 19.07 indicates deeply oversold conditions, suggesting a potential near-term bounce.

  • MACD remains negative at -3.89, confirming the strong bearish momentum.

Key Price Levels

  • Primary Support: $156.11 (Previous swing low). A break below could trigger further selling.

  • Strong Resistance: $181.71 (Recent high). Bulls need to reclaim this level to reverse the downtrend.

  • Immediate Pivot: $167.86 (Today's close). Watch for consolidation or breakdown from here.

Valuation Perspective

Forward P/E of 166.28 is above its historical average of 133.59, indicating a premium valuation. P/S TTM of 102.69 remains extremely elevated, pricing in exceptional future growth.

Analyst Targets

22 analysts have an average price target of $185.80 (10.7% upside). Sentiment is mixed: 2 Strong Buy, 4 Buy, 17 Hold, 2 Underperform, 1 Sell.
