AI-powered data analytics company Palantir Technologies (PLTR) has surged more than 125% in 2025, lifted by rising AI adoption, higher defense spending, and global geopolitical tensions. But the stock has come under pressure recently. Cathie Wood’s sale of 354,955 shares worth about $58 million added to the weakness, and valuation remains a concern as well. The stock currently trades at a steep forward P/E of 235.1x, far above the sector average of 23.6x. With the stock showing both strong gains and recent volatility, it’s a good time to take a closer look at who owns PLTR stock.
