Palantir Technologies Inc (NYSE:PLTR) shares are trading lower by 2.4% to $23.43 Tuesday, despite a lack of company-specific news for the session.

The Federal Reserve Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting starts on Tuesday and ends on Wednesday.

Higher interest rates can impact the present value of future cash flows, which affects the valuation of growth stocks like Palantir.

An investor can make a few decisions when deciding whether a stock is a good buy. In addition to valuation metrics and price action which you can find on Benzinga's quote pages – like Palantir Technologies‘s page for example – there are factors like whether or not a company pays a dividend or buys a large portion of its stock each quarter.
These are known as capital allocation programs. Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) does not pay a dividend, but obviously has a few ways it can return value to shareholders. Feel free to search Benzinga's dividend calendar for the next company that is due to pay a dividend and determine what kind of yield you can earn for holding a share of the company.
For example, if you're looking to earn an annualized return of 7.47%, you'll need to buy a share of NewtekOne by the Mar. 28, 2024. Once done, you can expect to receive a nominal payout of $0.19 on Apr. 15, 2024.
Buyback programs are obviously different and highly variable. A company can approve a buyback program and purchase shares as it sees fit over the course of time in which the buyback was authorized. Looking through the latest news on Palantir Technologies will often yield whether or not the company has approved a buyback program recently. Buyback programs usually serve as a support for share prices, serving as a backstop for demand.
According to data from Benzinga Pro, PLTR has a 52-week high of $27.50 and a 52-week low of $7.28.
