Palantir Shares Drop 4% Ahead of Aug. 3 Earnings as 90x Valuation and Insider Sales Spook Investors

Summary
Palantir shares fell about 4% on Wednesday as investors turned cautious ahead of the company’s Aug. 3 second-quarter earnings report.
Roughly 90 times forward earnings remains the key pressure point, with investors questioning whether Palantir’s premium valuation can hold up against coming growth, profitability and demand updates.
Recent insider sales added to the unease: Palantir’s CTO sold about $24 million in shares earlier this month, and a director sold more than $2 million on July 15, both under pre-arranged trading plans.
AI software stocks also faced broader pressure as the market reassessed whether AI agents could disrupt traditional enterprise software models, leaving Palantir’s earnings as the next test for the stock’s near-term direction.
