Palantir shares closed at $188.75 on October 2, 2026, after trading in a $188.26–$194.78 range, reflecting recent volatility around elevated levels near the 52-week high of $207.52. Strong Q2 2026 results—revenue surging 93% year-over-year to $1.94 billion with U.S. commercial growth at 149%—and the largest-ever full-year guidance raise to $8.15 billion (82% growth) have supported sentiment through accelerating AI platform adoption and expanding customer counts exceeding 1,000. However, the stock’s premium valuation, with a trailing P/E near 161, leaves room for swings on broader tech sentiment or macro data before the November 2 earnings release, which falls after month-end resolution.
