📚 Deep Dive 📚
🚨 Palantir Insider Just Bought Big — First Time Ever
We just got some eye-opening news out of Palantir PLTR — for the first time ever, an insider bought shares instead of selling.
On May 8, 2025, Heather Planishek — Palantir’s former Chief Accounting Officer — picked up 10,000 shares of the company at $116.14 each, dropping over $1.16 million of her own cash on the trade.
Why does that matter?
Because insider buying is often seen as a sign of real confidence in the company’s future. These folks know the business inside and out — and when they’re buying instead of cashing out? That usually turns heads.
Since the purchase, PLTR has surged — hitting a high of $130 on May 13, up nearly +12% from her entry.
This comes just as Palantir strengthens its defense game, striking a key deal with NATO to supply its Maven AI system — a big move that could pay off down the line.
For new traders:
Insider buys aren’t a guaranteed green light — but they are worth paying attention to. When someone from the inside puts serious money on the line, it could mean they believe something big is coming. Especially when it's the first insider buy EVER.
