Senator John Boozman, who oversees defense spending, bought $1,001-$15,000 of Palantir stock on May 15, 2026, disclosed June 16. Palantir is a major defense AI software provider working with the US Department of Defense, making the purchase notable due to potential conflicts of interest. Palantir's shares have been volatile, trading below their 52-week high despite strong revenue growth and raised guidance. Investors await Palantir's next earnings report in August to see if its AI-driven growth justifies its valuation.
