Palantir Technologies Inc.Defense Intelligence Agency withdrew solicitation after Palantir's bid protest, a procedural win for the company.

Palantir Technologies shares rose about 1% on Friday after the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency withdrew a solicitation tied to a military intelligence platform following the company's bid protest. The agency said it withdrew the procurement at its own request, pausing the process for an artificial intelligence-enabled intelligence system that supports military operations, including targeting functions. Palantir challenged the solicitation in May, arguing that commercially available technology already exists, according to people familiar with the matter cited by Bloomberg. The withdrawal represents a procedural win for Palantir, which has expanded its defense business, but may delay the agency's modernization efforts.
