PLTR 20-day return: the current reading and its track record

Data as of 2026-10-16

PLTR’s current 20-day return reading and what that signal has historically been followed by.

This page covers Palantir Technologies (PLTR) — its current 20-day return reading and the measured historical record of what PLTR 20-day return extremes were followed by.

How to read this. These figures are measured only on instruments currently covered by this site — a set of companies that survived. Signals that appear to have ‘worked’ on the downside are conditioned on these names having recovered; a company that fell and never came back would not be here to measure. Read every number below as a property of this surviving sample, not a universal rule, and never as advice.

All figures are ‘excess’ returns — measured relative to each instrument’s own historical drift, not relative to the market. This is not alpha and not a market-beating claim; it isolates the signal from the instrument’s background trend. Measured from the first day each signal appeared (not its most extreme point), so it reflects what was knowable in real time.
