On November 3, Palantir fell 3.08% Overnight, trading at $172.65/share, with Turnover of $5.081 million.
The move followed a quarterly report that beat expectations and included higher guidance, but the stock remained under pressure as prior expectations and volatility pricing were already elevated. Palantir reported third-quarter adjusted EPS of $0.44 on revenue of $2.313 billion, above consensus estimates of $0.41 and $2.183 billion. It guided fourth-quarter revenue to $2.649 billion-$2.653 billion versus expectations of $2.46 billion, and raised full-year revenue guidance to $8.530 billion-$8.534 billion from $8.150 billion-$8.158 billion previously.
Additional operating details underscored the strength of the quarter: US commercial revenue rose to $984 million, surpassing US government revenue of $953 million for the first time, while the top 20 customers delivered 76% growth in average trailing-12-month revenue per customer. Even so, recent options activity showed implied volatility at extreme levels and positioning skewed cautious, helping explain why a clear earnings beat did not translate into a higher share price.
