Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:PLTR) ended 2025 as one of the most-searched tickers in Benzinga Pro thanks to a surge in interest from readers. The stock is seeing strong attention to start 2026 with a potential link to the recent military action carried out in Venezuela. Here's a look at the members of Congress who own Palantir shares. • Palantir Technologies stock is showing upward bias. Where are PLTR shares going? Palantir Stock Gains on Potential Link The action completed by the U.S. government in Venezuela helped boost oil stocks to start 2026, which could benefit the members of Congress who own stocks like Chevron. Palantir counts the U.S. government as one of its key customers and the company has been supportive of the country’s military in recent years. While no official link between the company and the actions that were recently carried out, some investors believe there could be a link. Mizuho analysts said in a note that there could be a potential link and the surge in social media posts about the company being potentially involved made the stock worth watching, as reported by Barrons. Here are the Palantir transactions made by members of Congress in 2025 as tracked by the Benzinga Government Trades page. Rep. Rob Bresnahan (R-Penn.)
