Live On CNBC, Steve Weiss Buys More Leidos Holdings

Shares of Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) tumbled over 7% in premarket trade on Monday after the Pentagon canceled a $280 million over-budget HR project involving Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) and Leidos Holdings Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LDOS#NYSE">LDOS</a>) on Friday.
What Happened: The U.S. Department of Defense&#8217;s cancellation of Oracle&#8217;s HR software, driven by delays and cost overruns, has triggered investor anxiety about broader government tech spending cutbacks.
This concern negatively impacted Palantir&#8217;s stock, as the company relies heavily on government contracts, including those with the DoD, which recently announced an additional $580 million in budget reductions.
Apart from this, Goldman Sachs analyst Gabriela Borges maintained a neutral rating on Palantir with a price target of $80, highlighting its strong Ontology and AI platform. However, she noted concerns about potential future competition from companies developing in-house AI and Palantir&#8217;s high valuation.

Why It Matters: Palantir provides data analytics tools to government customers for intelligence gathering, counterterrorism, and military purposes. The stock was down 7.04% to $79.81&nbsp;apiece in premarket trading. 
Palantir&#8217;s stock plummeted in early February due to proposed defense budget cuts by 8% annually for five years and CEO Alex Karp&#8216;s planned sale of up to 9.98 million shares.
PLTR's market capitalization stood at $170.18 billion as of Dec. 31, 2024, and it currently stands at $201.26 billion. This represents a growth of $31.08 billion or 18.26% on a year-to-date basis.
The stock recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44451697/palantir-ceo-alex-karps-technological-republic-vision-faces-harvard-economists-critique-contemptuous-of-markets">joined the S&amp;P 100</a> on March 24, during the S&amp;P during its quarterly rebalancing. 
Price Action: Its stock price has risen by 14.18% in 2025, whereas it has gained 275.55% over the year. However, it is still 31.54% down from its 52-week high of $125.41 apiece.
Benzinga's Edge Rankings show a strong price momentum in the medium and long term, but it is weak in the short term. Its momentum ranking was sturdy at the 98.96th percentile. Whereas, the growth ranking, which combines historical expansion in earnings and revenue across multiple periods, was also solid at the 87.14th percentile.

Demand across all customer segments, especially for managed health services, drove the increase. 
The defense, aviation, information technology and biomedical research, the company&#8217;s adjusted EPS was $2.37, up 19% year-over-year, beating the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">analyst consensus estimate of $2.27</a>.

Leidos held $943 million in cash and equivalents as of January&nbsp;3, 2025.
CEO Tom Bell said 2024 results came at or above the high end of its guidance range across all metrics, with the fourth quarter especially strong in revenue growth and business development.

The company expects its fiscal 2024 adjusted EPS of $10.35–$10.75 versus the&nbsp;$10.58 consensus.
Leidos Holdings stock surged 25% in the last 12 months. However, at least three Wall Street firms cut <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LDOS/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">their price target</a> on the stock since December 2024, including two downgrades of ratings by Goldman Sachs and TD Cowen.
Price Action: LDOS stock is up 0.16% at $143.00 premarket at last check on Tuesday.
