yahoo news | Palantir Stock Takes A Burry Beatdown: Are Dip‑Buyers Done?
Palantir Technologies Inc. shares faced a real‑time stress test on Thursday after famed investor Michael Burry posted on X that Anthropic’s enterprise AI offering has rapidly outpaced Palantir. Citing Ramp data, Burry argued Anthropic’s annual recurring revenue has surged from $9 billion to $30 billion, now capturing roughly 73 % of incremental enterprise‑AI spend. He framed Palantir as confined to “low‑margin and small” government work, while Anthropic provides an easier, cheaper, and more intuitive solution for businesses.
The market reacted quickly: Palantir’s stock slipped about 6 % on Wednesday as Burry’s comments circulated and fell a further 7 % in Thursday morning trading, according to Benzinga Pro. This is not Burry’s first strike; he disclosed a short position last year and has warned of an AI bubble since late 2025. Palantir CEO Alex Karp fired back on CNBC, calling Burry “bat‑‑‑‑ crazy” for shorting “chips and ontology” and insisting the company’s AI software and government franchises remain highly profitable.
The key question now is whether Palantir’s retail‑heavy base will continue buying the dip. After the intraday 6 % drop, the stock recouped some ground in after‑hours trading around the mid‑$140s, and forum chatter remains largely defensive of Palantir’s long‑term story, dismissing Burry’s thesis as short‑seller propaganda. Yet with PLTR trading at roughly 109 × forward earnings versus a sector median near 21 ×, each pullback tests how much dry powder loyalists have left to support the stock.
