On Friday, shares of Palantir fell by 1.18% to close the session at $21.81. Palantir continues to trade tightly within range, although the weekly green candle breaks a streak of three red weekly candles, signalling that the stock could be turning bullish.

Palantir executives were in the middle of some controversy again on Friday, when the company was in court defending itself from a class action lawsuit. The allegations are that Palantir’s Class F Shares give executives 49.9% say in any decision that is made about the company, which would make them ‘emperors for life’. Palantir executives vehemently shot these remarks down in the Delaware Chancery Court, the same court in which Tesla CEO Elon Musk defended the company’s purchase of SolarCity. Of course, it’s not a great look for Palantir who already battles public perception of being a company that spies on the public given some of its previous government contracts.

On Friday, Palantir sent out a tweet that had investors abuzz, following the announcement earlier this week about autonomous driving and automaker supply chains. The tweet centered around renewable energies and how Palantir is helping companies deliver cleaner and more affordable energy to its customers. Renewable energies is a global secular trend right now, and Palantir’s involvement could be a massive new source of revenues for its Foundry platform.
