A good or a bad trade.

I would NOT buy this PLTR $260 call at $0.30 right now. PLTR closed around $196.42, meaning the stock needs to rise over 32% in roughly one week just to reach the strike, before accounting for premium. The key catalyst is Q3 earnings on November 2. Fundamentals remain strong: Q2 revenue grew 93%, U.S. commercial revenue 149%, and management guided FY2026 revenue growth of 82%. However, valuation is demanding, while November 6 options carry high implied volatility around 97.5%, creating significant IV-crush risk after earnings. I prefer owning PLTR shares or a lower-strike call than chasing this far OTM contract.

The sequence worsened into the end of that window: −US$38.19m, −US$9.43m, +US$8.99m, −US$30.54m, −US$42.28m . That pattern suggests institutional-sized activity was more distribution than accumulation.
On the latest session, large orders were net −US$4.19m , while overall net flow was marginally positive at US$11.80m —small-order buying offset some of the large-order selling. Separately, the stock fell 6.27% to US$184.11 on turnover of US$5.04bn . The prior session’s US$42.28m large-order outflow equaled only 0.84% of that turnover, so it is a cautionary signal rather than evidence o
