Palantir insiders have been dumping nearly $6 million PLTR shares per day in 2026

Palantir's positioning since the start of 2026 is contradictory: stagnation in the AI sector and a broader software sell-off weigh on growth expectations, while a boom in the military‑industrial complex supports demand for its government/defense contracts. Net effect is ambiguous for near‑term performance, likely driving stock‑level volatility rather than a clear market‑wide move.
