An investment's real performance is determined by its growth in purchasing power, a factor nominal prices don't capture. To offer a more accurate measure, this page adjusts Palantir's historical stock prices for inflation using the US Consumer Price Index.
Nominal prices are adjusted for stock splits and assume reinvestment of any dividends to reflect total return. Inflation-adjusted prices use March 2026 as the baseline (latest available CPI).
The current value of Palantir stock is 132.37 (as of the close of Apr 13, 2026), 36.11% lower than the all-time high of 207.18 (Nov 3, 2025).
Since September 30, 2020, the inflation-adjusted total return for the stock has been 998.28%, which is equivalent to an annual growth rate of 54.19%.
In nominal values, the total return since this date has been 1,293%, or an annualized rate of 60.96%.
This data presents Palantir's end-of-month closing levels over time.

The chart and table below show the nominal and inflation-adjusted value of a hypothetical $100 investment over various long-term historical periods, ending in September 2025.
The inflation-adjusted line, in green, represents the real increase in purchasing power for the initial investment. Observe the gap between both lines, which illustrates the cumulative effect of inflation over time.
Even over just five years, inflation takes a noticeable bite out of investments. Investing $100 in the Palantir five years ago yielded an 663.26% nominal gain, but the real return (the actual increase in buying power) was 518.07%.
As investment periods get longer, the difference between reported nominal returns and the inflation-adjusted gains usually becomes much greater due to the compounding effect of inflation over time.
| Investment Period | What $100 Grew To (Nominal) | Total Nominal Return (%) | Total Inflation-Adjusted Return (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Last 5 years Feb 2021 - Sep 2025 | $763.26 | 663.26% | 518.07% |
