Palantir Technologies Inc. experienced a notable decline in its share price following the release of its quarterly results, which failed to meet investor expectations despite strong earnings and an increased annual revenue forecast. On May 6, Palantir shares fell more than 12%, closing at $108.86, with a drop of over 13% reported the same day. Analysts have revised their price targets downward amid concerns over slowing earnings per share growth and the company's market valuation outpacing its growth potential. The decline prompted Cathie Wood's Ark Invest to sell 376,874 shares of Palantir, amounting to approximately $41 million, through its ARK Innovation ETF. Despite the recent dip, Palantir's stock has gained 65% in 2025 following a 341% increase in the previous year, buoyed by strong government contracts and AI-focused defense technology investments. The company's market capitalization rose to $281 billion after a 7.85% increase in share price, surpassing Salesforce to become one of the top 10 largest U.S. tech companies by market value. Additionally, Palantir is expanding its operations with a strategic move into Las Vegas, which the CEO identified as a key growth area. Meanwhile, Porter, a local startup, raised $200 million in a funding round led by Kedaara Capital and Wellington Management, pushing its valuation to between $1.1 billion and $1.2 billion and joining the unicorn club. This funding round saw Peak XV Partners exit through secondary transactions valued at $140 million to $150 million. Porter plans to expand further following this milestone.
