Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR) +10.32%

The stock extended its post-earnings rerating after Palantir reported 93% year-over-year quarterly revenue growth, an earnings beat and rapidly expanding U.S. commercial demand. A further double-digit gain after an earlier earnings surge added tens of billions of dollars in market value and made Palantir a central driver of the AI-software trade.
