Sell
165,514 shares
$22,516,876
Significance 6/10

Shyam Sankar sells 165,514 shares at PLTR for $22,516,875.64 across 5 transactions on 2026-05-20.

Shyam Sankar executed 5 separate sales totaling 165,514 shares for $22,516,875.64 at prices ranging from $132.95 to $136.61, reducing his holdings by -20.5% from 808,300 to 642,786 shares. His cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior sells with a 90-day well-timed rate of 75.00%, indicating he has historically sold before declines across his full trading history. However, at PLTR specifically, his prior 5 sales all showed positive 90-day returns (ranging from +1.2% to +4.1%), meaning the stock rose after those sales, and none were well-timed at the 90-day mark. The current stock price of $136.88 is -34.0% from the 52-week high of $207.52, and the 30-day price change is -10.3%, placing this sale in a period of recent weakness. PLTR's fundamentals show strong growth (annual revenue growth of +56.2%) and substantial profitability ($870,527,000.00 net income on $1,632,583,000.00 quarterly revenue), though the P/E of 144.08 reflects a premium valuation.

$22,465,231
Significance 7/10

Sankar Shyam sells 168,004 shares of PLTR for $22.5M across 5 transactions; holds 642.8K post-sale. Stock down 37.8% from 52-week high.

Sankar Shyam executed 5 separate sales on 2026-02-20, totaling 168,004 shares for $22,465,230.66 at a blended average price of $133.72, reducing his position by 20.7% to 642.8K shares. The sales occurred as PLTR trades 37.8% below its 52-week high of $207.18 and has declined 24.0% over the past 30 days. His prior 5 trades at PLTR show a 100% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark, with negative 90-day returns following all five prior sales, establishing a consistent pattern of selling before subsequent declines. The company's elevated valuation (P/E of 137.06) combined with recent sharp share-price deterioration and this insider's strong historical timing record at the ticker warrant close observation of the broader strategic context.

Sell
168,876 shares
$27,546,303
Significance 6/10

Sankar Shyam sold 168,876 shares at blended $163.12 over two days; holdings reduced to 642,786 shares (-20.8%)

Sankar Shyam executed 22 separate sales totaling 168,876 shares for $27,546,303.40 across November 20–21, 2025, reducing his holdings by 20.8% to 642,786 shares. The blended average sale price of $163.12 sits near the current market price of $162.25, indicating execution near fair value at the time of the trades. Critically, his prior five sales at PLTR all displayed negative 90-day returns (ranging from -1.2% to -4.2%), indicating a pattern of selling ahead of subsequent stock declines at this ticker. However, the FLAG notes this filing involves a derivative conversion (C), meaning Table II derivative securities are not yet populated in our database and the post-transaction share count of 642,786 does not represent his full economic position. Without visibility into the derivative holdings, the true scope of the position change remains incomplete.

Significance 6/10

Sankar Shyam sold 375,000 shares (375.0K shares) for $56.7M across 14 transactions on 2025-08-20, blended average $151.20.

Sankar Shyam executed 14 separate sales totaling 375,000 shares for $56,699,645.64 on 2025-08-20, reducing his holdings by 34.8% from 1,077,786 to 702,786 shares. This is a substantial reduction of a significant stake, executed over multiple price tiers ranging from $143.04 to $154.17, with a blended average price of $151.20. The stock currently trades at $158.74, above the transaction prices. His cross-ticker track record includes 20 prior sells, though 5 prior PLTR trades on 2025-08-22 have no measurable outcomes yet. The transaction occurs in a company with strong recent fundamentals—$1.0B quarterly revenue, $326.7M net income, and 28.8% annual revenue growth—though the stock trades at an elevated 496.06 P/E multiple and is 15.1% below its 52-week high of $186.97.

200,861 shares
$30,990,248
Significance 7/10

Sankar Shyam sold 200,861 shares at prices from $143.12 to $162.56 on 2025-08-20 through 2025-08-22, totaling $30,990,248.17; post-sale holdings: 702,786 shares.

Sankar Shyam executed 25 separate sales totaling 200,861 shares for $30,990,248.17 across three consecutive trading days (2025-08-20 through 2025-08-22) at a blended average price of $154.29. The transaction reduced his holdings by 22.2% from 903,647 shares to 702,786 shares. The sales occurred as PLTR trades near the top of its 52-week range at $158.74 (only 15.1% below the 52-week high of $186.97) and represent a substantial reduction in direct equity exposure. This filing carries a FLAG indicating a derivative-conversion transaction; the insider's real position lives in Form 4 Table II (derivative securities not yet populated in our database), so the post-transaction holdings of 702,786 shares may not represent the insider's total economic exposure at the company. Stock has appreciated 28.7% over the prior 90 days, suggesting the sales occurred into strength, though the multi-day execution pattern and derivative flag complicate any pure timing assessment.

Significance 6/10

Sankar Shyam sells 405,000 shares for $53,490,922.98 in 5 transactions; stock near 52-week high at $135.19

Sankar Shyam executed 5 separate sales totaling 405,000 shares for $53.5M on a single day (June 10, 2025) at prices ranging from $130.12 to $133.73, with a blended average of $132.08. The stock currently trades at $135.19, only 0.9% below its 52-week high of $136.39, and has gained 5.5% in the last 30 days and 56.8% in the last 90 days. Post-transaction, Shyam retains 702.8K shares (36.6% reduction from prior 1.11M holdings). While the trade coincides with near-peak valuations and strong recent momentum, his cross-ticker track record shows a 0.00% well-timed sell rate (20 prior sells with average 90-day return of +24.9%, indicating his past sales were generally followed by further gains). The FLAG indicates derivative securities may underlie this transaction, so the Table I shares_after figure does not represent Shyam's complete position.

167,545 shares
$21,169,439
Significance 5/10

Sankar Shyam sold 167,545 shares for $21,169,438.93 (blended avg $126.35) on May 20–21, 2025; retains 702,786 post-sale shares.

Sankar Shyam executed 7 separate sales totaling 167,545 shares for $21,169,438.93 across two trading days, reducing his holdings by 19.3% from the pre-transaction level of 870,331 shares. The sales occurred at prices ranging from $125.26 to $127.71, at or near the 52-week high of $130.18. The filing includes a derivative-conversion transaction; the insider's full economic position includes holdings not yet populated in our database and should not be characterized as a complete exit. Across his open-market history, Sankar's 20 prior sells posted an average 90-day return of +17.3% with a well-timed rate of 0.00%, indicating his past sales have not preceded subsequent declines. At Palantir specifically, his 5 prior trades in February 2025 showed mixed near-term outcomes (30-day returns ranging from −5.9% to −1.0%). The current stock price of $122.29 is 6.1% below the 52-week high but up 30.1% over the prior 30 days, suggesting the insider executed this sale during a period of recent strength relative to longer-term valuation context.

Significance 7/10

Sankar Shyam sells 375,000 PLTR shares in 12 transactions on 2025-02-20 for $38.4M at blended avg $102.47

Sankar Shyam executed 12 separate sales totaling 375,000 shares (375.0K shares) for $38,426,081.39 ($38.4M) on 2025-02-20, reducing his PLTR holdings by 34.8% from 1,077,786 shares to 702,786 shares. The transaction prices ranged from $96.40 to $107.20, with a blended average of $102.47—notably elevated relative to the current stock price of $90.68 (27.2% below the 52-week high of $124.62). This filing contains a derivative-conversion component (Table II holdings not yet available); accordingly, the 702.8K post-transaction shares do not necessarily represent the insider's full economic position. The scale and execution across multiple price points suggests a programmed or pre-planned distribution rather than a single-decision sale event.

Significance 5/10

Sankar Shyam sold 211,024 shares for $21,419,899.26 across 25 transactions (Feb 20-24), blended avg $101.50.

Sankar Shyam executed 25 separate sales totaling 211,024 shares for $21,419,899.26 across three trading sessions (Feb 20-21 and Feb 24), reducing holdings by 23.1% from 913,810 to 702,786 shares. The blended average price of $101.50 sits above the current price of $90.68 (-27.2% from 52-week high of $124.62), though the stock has rebounded 14.8% over 30 days and 37.9% over 90 days. The FLAG indicates this filing reflects a derivative-conversion transaction, meaning the insider's total position extends beyond Table I; the 702,786 shares represent only converted equity, not the full scope of economic holdings. Cross-ticker, this insider's 20 prior open-market sells averaged +24.0% and +88.3% returns at 30 and 90 days respectively (poorly timed, with 0% well-timed rate), though at PLTR specifically, prior outcomes remain immeasurable. With a P/E of 292.52 and annual revenue growth of 28.8%, the sale activity warrants monitoring for any change in insider position management at this valuation.

5,280,000 shares
$369,908,300
Significance 7/10

Palantir insider sells 5,280,000 shares (5.28M) for $369,908,300.30 ($369.9M) across 3 trades; retains 752,786 shares post-transaction.

Sankar Shyam executed three separate sales totaling 5,280,000 shares for $369,908,300.30 at a blended average price of $70.06, reducing his stake by 87.5% from 6,032,786 to 752,786 shares. The timing coincides with PLTR's +69.3% surge over 30 days and +132.0% over 90 days, with the stock now trading at $70.96 near its 52-week high of $70.96. However, this filing contains a derivative-conversion transaction per Table II treatment; the 752,786 shares in Table I do not represent the insider's total position, so characterizing this as a near-complete portfolio exit is not supported. Across the insider's cross-ticker history, 19 prior sells showed an average 30-day return of +10.9% post-sale, suggesting modest timing quality on average; at PLTR specifically, the five most recent prior trades (all sales from Nov 20–21) have outcomes not yet measurable, offering no same-ticker precedent for pattern assessment.
