Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR) perpetual market

Palantir Technologies is a data analytics and software company founded in 2003 by a group including Peter Thiel and current chief executive Alex Karp, known for building platforms that help large organizations integrate and analyze vast amounts of data to support decisions. It first gained prominence and controversy through work with US government and intelligence agencies, and its Gotham platform is used in defense and national security. Its Foundry platform brought similar capabilities to commercial customers across industries. More recently Palantir has leaned heavily into artificial intelligence with its AIP platform, which helps organizations deploy large language models on their own operational data, driving rapid growth in commercial demand. The company is closely associated with government and defense work, which draws both strong support and criticism, and its stock has been notably volatile, trading at rich valuations as investors bet on its role in enterprise and government AI adoption.
