Will Palantir close higher on Aug 10 than it did on Aug 5?

Palantir Technologies shares closed higher on Monday, Aug. 10, 2026, than they had on Wednesday, Aug. 5, extending a rally rooted in the company's second-quarter earnings report. On Aug. 3, Palantir posted quarterly revenue of $1.94 billion, up 93% year over year and above Wall Street's $1.8 billion estimate, with adjusted earnings of 41 cents per share versus a 35-cent consensus, according to CNBC, the company's ninth straight earnings beat. U.S. commercial revenue climbed 149%, and Palantir raised full-year revenue guidance to $8.15 billion-$8.158 billion. Shares surged roughly 29%-30% in the sessions following the report, then gave back some of those gains to profit-taking and technical resistance near $166-$172 by midweek, a pullback that helps explain why the community was split evenly on whether Aug. 10 would close above Aug. 5. By Aug. 10, the stock resumed climbing alongside a broader technology rally: Benzinga reported that S&P 500, Dow and Nasdaq futures rose that Monday following strong gains, with Palantir named among stocks in focus alongside McDonald's and AMD. The mix of sustained investor enthusiasm for Palantir's artificial-intelligence and government-contract growth and the wider market advance lifted shares to a higher close on Aug. 10 than they had recorded on Aug. 5, resolving the question toward yes.
