On June 2, Palantir Technologies declined 3.08% overnight, trading at $155.07/share, with trading volume of $4.76 million. The pullback follows a single-day surge of over 9% last week, which marked its best daily performance in nearly a year, leaving significant accumulated profit-taking pressure.
On the macro front, U.S. April core PCE inflation came in at 3.3% year-over-year, exceeding expectations. Fed Chair Wush issued hawkish commentary suggesting rate cuts are unlikely and even raising the possibility of rate hikes, placing outsized pressure on high-valuation growth names. The broader Application Software sector weakened in tandem, with Salesforce down 1.48%, Datadog down 1.19%, and AppLovin down 0.87%.
Additionally, company insiders recently sold over $43 million in shares, and the stock's forward P/E ratio remains elevated at approximately 108x, amplifying downside sensitivity to any shift in risk appetite. The confluence of macro tightening expectations, sector-wide de-rating, and valuation concerns drove the overnight retreat.
