BigBear.ai Holdings (BBAI) stock surged 6.99% in the pre-market trading session on Friday, riding the bullish wave of optimism surrounding artificial intelligence (AI) stocks and fueled by meme stock momentum.
The rally in BBAI shares was likely driven by the overall positive sentiment in the AI sector, with investors speculating that the company could be the "next Palantir" in delivering multi-bagger returns. A recent article in The Economic Times compared BigBear.ai to Palantir, a leading AI company, fueling expectations that BigBear could follow a similar trajectory of outsized gains.
Additionally, the stock has recently gained favor among retail investors, leading to big price swings on little or no news, a phenomenon commonly associated with meme stocks. However, it's worth noting that two directors of BigBear.ai, BBAI Ultimate Holdings LLC and AE Industrial Partners Fund II GP, LP, sold a combined 8.3 million shares earlier this week, potentially signaling concerns over the current valuation.
