Commercial revenue overtakes government as business mix shifts

Palantir Technologies reported strong third quarter 2026 results, including $2.31 billion in revenue—a 96% year-over-year increase—net income of $1.13 billion, and an adjusted operating margin of 62%. The company raised its full-year revenue guidance to approximately $8.53 billion and saw its U.S. commercial revenue surpass government revenue for the first time, reflecting a significant shift in its core business mix. Additionally, a partnership with Changshin was announced on November 4, 2026 to implement Palantir Foundry and AIP across its operations, potentially expanding Palantir's commercial reach. These developments were highlighted by Yahoo Finance, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Bearish momentum prevails as intraday sellers test support levels

On the technical front, PLTR is trading below its MA-20 and MA-50, indicating near- and intermediate-term weakness, but remains above its MA-200 on the daily chart, suggesting ongoing long-term support. The Ichimoku Kijun at $176.08 marks immediate resistance. Momentum indicators are skewed bearish, with MACD showing a strong sell signal and ADX in sell territory. Intraday, sellers are dominant according to a negative Bull/Bear Power reading, and price action is positioned near today's low. Oscillators show mixed signals: RSI and CCI are neutral, while Stochastic RSI is in the overbought zone, signaling some divergence between momentum and mean-reversion measures.

Downtrend continuation likely as breakout risks remain subdued

In the short term, PLTR is likely to consolidate within a volatile range of $159.28 to $184.14 over the next two to three trading days. The probability of an upward breakout is very low, while the likelihood of a continuation of the recent downtrend is high. Sideways movement is expected to be the baseline scenario unless the price manages to close decisively above immediate resistance. A bearish extension could unfold on a move below range support, while a bullish reversal would require strong buying to push above $176.08.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees Palantir's Q3 results as confirmation of the company's strong growth trajectory. He notes that the shift towards commercial revenue and strategic partnerships broadens Palantir's long-term foundations, despite near-term price weakness. In his view, the robust fundamentals outweigh current technical softness, but a decisive move above $176.08 is needed for technical sentiment to improve. "I believe sustained revenue growth and business diversification position Palantir well for long-term appreciation, even if volatility remains elevated in the near term."

Earlier, analysts noted that despite strong business momentum and commercial expansion, Palantir stock continued to face pronounced selling pressure with downside risks prevailing. The latest technical signals confirm an ongoing bearish bias, with traders advised to monitor potential downside below $159.28 as the next key area for risk management.
