Palantir has been a beneficiary of the AI boom and has seen its stock rally more than 60% year-to-date. Palantir has experienced above-average volumes in recent trading sessions as the AI story begins to tilt toward software. BofA Securities added Palantir to its top 10 best U.S. ideas list last week as the firm sees more room for shares to run in the near term.

Palantir is not due to report earnings until early August. Analysts expect the company to report earnings of 8 cents per share on revenue of $652.141 million, according to Benzinga Pro.

Last quarter, Palantir beat analyst estimates as revenue grew 21% year-over-year and the company delivered its sixth straight quarter of GAAP profitability. Despite beating estimates and raising its full-year guidance, the stock traded lower, but it has since recovered, hitting new 52-week highs this week, as software and AI continue to be strong themes for the market.

PLTR Price Action: Palantir shares closed Monday up 0.65% at $27.88. The stock was up 0.69% at $27.89 Tuesday morning at the time of publication, according to Benzinga Pro.
