If You'd Invested $10,000 in Palantir Technologies Stock 3 Years Ago, Here's How Much You'd Have Today

Shares of Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR) have had a wild start to 2025. After surging in value during January, Palantir shares experienced a sharp drop that started in mid-February. At one point, the stock was up by as much as 64% year to date, but it has given back most of those gains. As of this writing, Palantir shares are up 16% in 2025.

However, Palantir's recent volatility doesn't change the fact that it has been one of the best-performing stocks in recent years.
