"Due to growing concerns over Palantir Technologies 's ( ) valuation, its stock fell 13% last week. However, following the U.S. military operation in Venezuela over the weekend, which captured President Nicolas Maduro, shares are rising over 4% in morning trading on speculation that Palantir's AI and data platforms contributed to the operation's intelligence and planning success. While unconfirmed by officials, such involvement could reinforce Palantir's critical role in national security, potentially supporting its elevated valuation if it leads to expanded contracts or demonstrates real-world efficacy."
"U.S. special operations forces, including Delta Force, conducted a pre-dawn raid in Caracas, targeting Maduro's compound on a military base. The operation involved over 150 aircraft to suppress air defenses and lasted hours on the ground. Maduro and his wife were captured and transported to New York to face federal charges, including narco-terrorism and drug trafficking. Reports indicate dozens of Venezuelan and Cuban personnel killed, but there was no loss of U.S. personnel or equipment."
