A key reason why income reports mean so much is their ability to turn anecdotes into evidence. When a company is doing well, it is usually a sign that it is growing and maintaining its customer base. The opposite is true if the company is underperforming. But the point is, income reports are important because they translate customer behavior into hard numbers—and it's those customers who show investors what's really going on.
That brings us to Palantir Technologies Inc. NASDAQ: PLTR. The company held its 10th AIPCon event in early June. The event was highlighted by several Palantir customers testifying about how the company's AIP platform is helping their businesses. It's the kind of free publicity companies like to get, and it explains why strong earnings reports from Palantir are no fluke.
AIPCon Delivered Lots of Wins
AIPCon delivered customer testimonials that support Palantir's long-term growth story.
-
Kirkland & Ellis, one of the world's leading law firms, has launched a powerful AI-powered private equity fundraising platform built on AIP—freeing lawyers from administrative work and redirecting their focus on high-value litigation calls.
-
GNP Seguros, Mexico's largest insurer, has gone all business, reporting the ability to process data at a scale and speed that was not possible before.
Beyond the customer segment, Palantir is now available on the Google Cloud Marketplace with full integration across all Google platforms. That distribution greatly increases the company's commercial reach. And for investors worried about the lack of international growth, Palantir secured a 10-year £9 million (about $12 million) contract to replace the entire gun license database of England and Wales, covering all 43 police forces.
Why Is PLTR Stock Down?
Skeptics (of which there are many) will point out that, despite the tone of AIPCon, PLTR is trading lower. That is not a new story. PLTR is down about 25% in 2026 and about 35% down from its all-time high in November 2025.
Of course, the most common reason cited will be moderation. But that is like a hammer looking for a nail. Investors who wait for Palantir to grow in value before investing may miss out on very strong gains. In any case, it's unclear how traditional valuation metrics work for enterprise software companies whose value is embedded in platform adhesion rather than hard assets.
Before you dismiss that as “this is different”, consider that Palantir is a debt-free company, without the CapEx overhang that other tech stocks face.
The likely reason that PLTR is so low is twofold. First, many investors want to raise money for SpaceX NASDAQ: SPCX IPO. That means they're looking to cut the profits from the winners, which is a direct line to Palantir.
The second reason is that investor dollars within the technology space are returning to chip stocks. That's a good point, as semiconductor refresh cycles get shorter and shorter.
A Dirty Chart Can Be an Opportunity
PLTR is approaching the $120–$125 support zone, a place it has been three times in 2026— in early February, late April, and late May — without breaking out, forming what looks like a triple bottom. That's a constructive pattern, and each successive test that holds support above adds credence to the idea that a bottom is forming.
That said, the technology is still complicated. The current price sits well below both the 50-day SMA ($140.42) and the 200-day SMA ($160.84), which means any meaningful recovery has significant overhead to clear.
A 50-day dip below 200 days earlier this spring ensured a potential triple bottom beach formation alone will not reverse. Investors should want to see a clean recovery of $140 in volume before reading too much into the pattern. Until then, expect stocks to run out over the summer, with earnings in August being the next real catalyst.

The Long-Term Outlook Is Still Supportive
If investors are looking for reasons to sell PLTR, they don't have to look far. The immediate gratification part of this story is over, for now. But viewed through a broader lens, Palantir's outlook continues to improve.

Palantir Technologies Stock Forecast Details
For example, on June 5, Rosenblatt Securities and Wedbush reiterated their bullish ratings on PLTR with price targets of $225 and $230 respectively. Remember, both price targets are about 20% higher than the consensus price of $192.76, which is itself 50% above recent prices.
That's important to consider at a time when many technology stocks are under pressure. It is also a reminder to investors that for every seller, there will be buyers. Most likely, those buyers come from institutions that want to grab everything as they can from the stocks that many missed in their early rise. AIPCon was a reminder that for all doubters, Palantir's customers are powerful—and the customer is always right.
