Palantir's stock price dropped nearly 8% to approximately $129.30 per share. The decline followed comments from Michael Burry on X, where he stated that Anthropic is outpacing Palantir and "eating Palantir's lunch."
Burry claimed Anthropic's annual recurring revenue surged from $9 billion to $30 billion, attributing the growth to user-friendly and cost-effective solutions. He argued that Palantir's history of government contracts may not provide the edge necessary to compete against Anthropic's private sector business model.
Palantir's shares are down almost 30% year to date.
