Palantir rallies 15% for the week as Iran war boosts prospects, muting Anthropic concern

Investors may view the U.S. military engagement as a potential boost to Palantir's government contracts and overall business prospects. However, the market's reaction also highlights a reliance on external events to drive stock performance, raising questions about the sustainability of such gains.
