Palantir Technologies (PLTR) has outperformed tech stocks this year, surging over 70% with military-grade AI tools, defense ties, and government connections driving investor confidence.

Co-founder Peter Thiel’s ties to the Trump administration have boosted business opportunities, with a $30 million contract from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for tracking undocumented immigrants being a notable win.

Despite political ties, Palantir emphasizes long-standing partnerships with ICE and focuses on its AI platform’s growth potential, drawing investor interest with its unique offerings.
