Highlights

Palantir reported record Q4 2025 results with revenue surging 70% year-over-year to $1.41 billion, driven by 137% growth in U.S. commercial revenue.
Operating margin reached 57% and net profit was $609 million, marking ten consecutive quarters of accelerating AI demand-led growth across government and commercial segments.
PLTR trades at $149.48, below key moving averages and immediate resistance at the Ichimoku Kijun ($170.74), with bearish momentum suggesting a $144–$155 trading range and downside pressure prevailing.

Record growth and AI demand boost sentiment after earnings beat

Palantir delivered record fourth quarter 2025 results, with revenue surging 70% year-over-year to $1.41 billion, led by 137% growth in U.S. commercial revenue and a 66% increase in U.S. government revenue. The company reported a 57% operating margin and achieved a quarterly profit of $609 million, marking its tenth consecutive quarter of accelerating growth tied to demand for artificial intelligence platforms. These strong financials and continued momentum in both government and commercial segments were well received by the market.

Sellers dominate amid weak momentum and persistent volatility

Momentum indicators on the daily chart confirm a bearish setup, with the MACD in clear sell mode and the ADX showing a neutral trend at low strength. No extreme oversold readings are observed — RSI sits near 40, Stochastic RSI is neutral, and CCI points to moderate selling, while Bull/Bear Power displays overbought conditions, suggesting sellers remain in control but without signs of deep exhaustion. The Awesome Oscillator aligns with the downtrend. After a small gap lower at the open, PLTR is down $8.41 or 5.33%, trading near today’s session lows, reflecting high volatility and sustained downside pressure through the morning, with no sign of intraday recovery. Intraday signals align with momentum indicators, confirming persistent weakness.

Range-bound outlook as low upside odds drive bearish bias

For the coming week, the expected trading range is $144 to $155, representing a volatility band relative to current levels and below the previous forecast range. The probability of a price increase is very low (less than 20%), making further declines more likely, given the lack of bullish signals in weekly RSI, ADX, and MACD. The baseline scenario is for PLTR to remain range-bound amid elevated volatility. In a bullish scenario, the price must break and stabilize above $155, targeting the Kijun region near $170; if support below $144 is lost, accelerated downside momentum toward previous congestion levels is likely.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees Palantir as maintaining a strong business outlook despite current technical weakness. He notes the company’s sustained revenue acceleration, high operating margin, and persistent growth in both commercial and government segments as strong fundamental positives. The analyst believes near-term trading may remain volatile, but structural demand for AI platforms is likely to support recovery once momentum shifts. "Short-term pain is evident, but Palantir’s performance and sector tailwinds signal that any stabilization above $155 could quickly reignite upward momentum."

Last time, analysts noted that Palantir Technologies is trading below key moving averages and remains under short- and medium-term bearish pressure, with persistent selling reflected in negative MACD and a deeply oversold RSI. Resistance is seen near the Ichimoku Kijun and 50-day average, while the 200-day moving average offers support, suggesting the stock is likely to consolidate in a volatile, rangebound pattern with downside risk prevailing.
