| Year | Price | Value | Annual |

| 2023 | $7.78 | $1,000 | - |
| 2024 | $16.09 | $2,068 | +106.8% |

What this return means
$1,000 in Palantir (PLTR) in 2023 grew to $14,996. That works out to +1399.6%, about 15x the original stake, as of 2026-06-01.
That is a compound rate of about 112.9% a year, an extreme pace that few holdings sustain for 3.6 years. The same $1,000 in an S&P 500 index fund over the same span would be about $1,916, so Palantir beat the index by roughly $13,080. The index compounded at about 19.9% a year over that period.
The year-by-year record shows how bumpy the ride was. The best single year was 2025 at +412.7%, and the worst was 2024 at +106.8%. These figures use split-adjusted closing prices and exclude dividends, taxes, trading fees, and inflation, so a real after-tax result would differ.
None of this is a recommendation. It is a record of what already happened, and past performance does not guarantee future results.
What if you invested $100 a month instead?
Most people do not drop a lump sum in on day one. They add a fixed amount every month. Putting $100 into Palantir at the close of every month from January 2023 through June 2026 means 42 buys and $4,200 contributed over about 3.5 years.
$100/month, dollar-cost averaged
$18,126
+331.6% on $4,200 in
Same $4,200, all in at the start
$62,984
+1,399.6% on $4,200 in
Going all in at the start beat spreading the buys out by $44,858. That is the usual result when a stock trends up: each monthly buy pays a higher price than the last, so the average cost climbs. Averaging in also meant an average buy price of $27.03 per share across the whole stretch, so the monthly buyer never had to time a single low. Neither number counts dividends, taxes, or trading costs.
Illustrative fixed $100/month example, not a recommendation. Figures are computed from PLTR split-adjusted monthly closes through June 2026. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
