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: Caution.
Positives: above the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum positive); RSI 53 — healthy momentum range; strong 1-year return of +57.9%. Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); 50-day MA is falling (-2.35% over 10 days); 3-month momentum negative (-14.4%); rising volume on a downtrend (distribution, 1.21x avg). Currently 29.5% off its 52-week high. Score: -1/7.
PLTR is trading below its 200-day MA ($164.23) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 52.8 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of +57.9% compares to +35.1% for SPY (beat the market by 22.8%). The current 29.5% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
