What's Going On With Palantir Stock Today?

Palantir Technologies Inc. PLTR shares climbed on Thursday following reports linking the company to former President Donald Trump‘s proposed missile defense system, known as the Golden Dome.

Palantir, along with SpaceX and defense tech firm Anduril, has reportedly been tapped to support the initiative, Reuters reports.

In a separate development, Palantir announced a major expansion of its federal offerings through a new collaboration with AI company Anthropic. The partnership will allow Anthropic to deliver its Claude enterprise-grade AI application to U.S. government agencies via Palantir’s FedStart platform.

Through this agreement, Anthropic’s Claude model—designed for deep work across large teams—will be made available to the public sector at the highest security standards, including FedRAMP High and DoD Impact Level 5 (IL5).
