Why Palantir Stock Rallied 17.1% in August
Shares of big-data software leader Palantir Technologies (NYSE: PLTR) rallied 17.1% in August, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence.
Last month saw the entire tech sector recover from a big sell-off that began in late July, as recession fears gave way to some better economic reports. But what differentiated Palantir's performance among others was a truly eye-opening earnings report.
In the second quarter, the stellar numbers included revenue growth of 27% overall to $678 million, and adjusted earnings per share that rose 80% to $0.09, with both figures handily beating expectations.
