The original short thesis remains intact as PLTR trades at extreme valuation multiples (P/E 237.1, Fwd P/E 80.0) despite decelerating momentum and falling volume. Recent price action is retesting key support at $134.68, which if broken, opens a clear path to the $130.00 target. The Q1 revenue beat is already priced in, and the raised guidance does not justify the current premium, making downside risk asymmetrically favorable.
The Q1 revenue beat and raised FY26 guidance indicate strong business momentum, and the premium valuation is justified by the company's growth prospects. The company's focus on AI infrastructure and US defense is expected to drive long-term growth, and the current price level presents a buying opportunity. Additionally, the technical analysis suggests that the stock is likely to resume its upward trend, making it a good time to hold the position.
The short can still be held because the market has already absorbed a strong earnings beat and raised guidance without regaining the key $145 area or reclaiming short-term trend averages. That failure of bullish follow-through matters more on this horizon than the headline quality alone, especially with falling RSI, contracting momentum, and price still positioned to retest $134.68 support and possibly the $130 target.
No model argued for EXIT.

With the broader regime flipping back toward bullish and tech leading, any reclaim of $145 would suggest the short thesis was fighting both improving fundamentals and a supportive tape.
