Investigating the current stress levels of Palantir's stock holdings.
Peter Thiel, the co-founder of Palantir Technologies, has been making moves in the stock market since the company's Initial Public Offering (IPO) in September 2020. However, the specific dates and amounts of his share sales have not been detailed in public sources. Despite this, Thiel remains a significant shareholder, holding about 3.15% of the company as per recent data.
Thiel's selling strategy appears to be strategic and measured, as he has not exercised an option established through a Rule 10b5-1 plan agreed upon with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in May. This plan allows for the sale of up to 28,590,737 shares to be sold by December 31, 2025, or earlier.
With Palantir shares having risen by around 40 percent since early August and gaining a boost with inclusion in the S&P 500 towards the end of the month, Thiel may take the opportunity to sell some of his shares. At the current stock price of around $35 per share, this amounts to approximately $1 billion that Thiel could realize by the end of this year.
Notably, Thiel has already sold 13 million Palantir shares for $273.5 million on May 8. Other Thiel vehicles, such as Rivendell 7 and STS Holdings II LLC, have also been active in the market, selling 8 million and 5 million Palantir shares respectively.
Despite these sales, Palantir is currently on a roll, which long-term oriented investors should continue to bet on. The company's CEO, Bernd Förtsch, has also entered into direct and indirect positions in Palantir Technologies, showing confidence in the company's future.
Meanwhile, investors can find a selection of exciting AI stocks, including potential Palantir competitors, in the BÖRSE ONLINE Artificial Intelligence Index. However, it's worth noting that this article focuses solely on Peter Thiel's Palantir share transactions and does not delve into the BÖRSE ONLINE Artificial Intelligence Index or the cryptocurrencies Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Investors who are sitting on very high profits may also consider taking partial gains, as Thiel's potential sale could impact the stock price. A small correction to the 50-day line (blue) is possible, but the overall trend for Palantir remains positive.
In conclusion, while Peter Thiel's potential Palantir share sale could have implications for the stock market, the company remains a strong player in the AI industry. Long-term investors may continue to find value in Palantir's innovative solutions and strategic growth.
