Palantir Technologies Inc. Class A Common Stock
Here’s whether Palantir Technologies Inc. Class A Common Stock (PLTR) is worth buying in 2026 — based on weekly-updated price trend, RSI momentum, and return vs. the S&P 500. Our current read: Bearish.
Positives: RSI 51 — healthy momentum range; strong 1-year return of +13.0%. Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); below the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum negative); 50-day MA is falling (-1.45% over 10 days); 3-month momentum negative (-13.4%). Currently 34.7% off its 52-week high. Score: -3/7.
PLTR is trading below its 200-day MA ($161.07) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 51.3 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of +13.0% compares to +24.4% for SPY (trailed the market by 11.3%). The current 34.7% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
