There is little argument concerning the potential of Palantir's technology. The argument is over valuation. Palantir trades for more than 40 times sales. That's frothy for a government contractor and elevated for a commercial software specialist.

>Palantir is both, but it's worth noting that in the most recent quarter, government customers accounted for nearly 60% of total revenue, and the government portion of the business grew faster than the commercial portion. The company has announced new partnerships aimed at boosting that commercial portion, but those are in the early stages, and working with partners could reduce the profitability of new commercial clients brought in through the arrangement.

>Nothing is wrong with Palantir the business, but investors in February began to reconsider Palantir the stock. Given its valuation, don't be surprised if there is more volatility in the months ahead.
PLTRannies longing ROPE soon

Imagine buying a "tech" company, with less than 100 employees, that hasn't turned a profit in near TWENTY years.

Palantir direct listed so that they could dump on all the normies thinking "they're the next big thing." They did it once at $10 and now they're ramping up to do it again, you guys are fucking retarded. Time and time again every meme blows up in your face and you say you learn but you fucking don't anon.

>17 years without profits
>Most of the cash comes from governments who are struggling economically and will stop making contracts
>0 fucks by funds on the DPO
>Literally the 200% pump was Robinhooders pumped and getting dumped for a straight month
>The whole point of the DPO was to sell their bags to the normies
>Not even a single contract for one important company
>Target prices are well above its current price
>It won't ever moon because 2 bilions shares will be public
>Institutions are not even a 15% of the shareholders
