# Palantir CEO Alexander Karp Dumps $86 million in Palantir Stock

Palantir Technologies CEO Alexander Karp sold nearly $86.1 million of company stock on Aug. 20.

Karp disposed of 492,348 Class A shares at prices ranging from $172.19 to $176.37. About $70.3 million of the transactions were tied to tax withholding after restricted stock units vested, with those sales conducted under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan.

He also sold another 90,000 shares for roughly $15.7 million under a separate trading plan established in March. The sales followed the conversion of Class B shares into Class A stock.

The transactions come after a strong run for Palantir. The shares were trading around $175.89, below their 52-week high of $207.52, while the stock had gained about 31% over the previous six months.

Recent quarterly results have also drawn positive analyst attention, with several firms raising their price targets following stronger-than-expected revenue and profitability.

Karp's sales may attract investor attention, but the filing indicates much of the activity was linked to taxes and prearranged trading plans.
