r/PLTR

The whole “Palantir paid no federal income tax” thing sounds a lot worse than it actually is. A big reason is that they spend hundreds of millions of dollars a year on R&D, and the tax code specifically gives companies credits and deductions for doing that. You can argue whether those incentives are good policy, but Palantir isn’t exploiting some secret loophole here. They’re taking advantage of incentives Congress intentionally created to encourage companies to invest in technology and R&D in the U.S.

Anything goes in this thread. You can talk about Palantir. You can contribute some DD about other stocks. You can shoot the breeze about random topics. Only rule is to follow the reddit user rules and be a respectable human.

See you on Monday!

They hate us because they ain't us.

Big surprise that the liberal arts majors who are most at risk of being replaced by AI are protesting AI

Sometimes in life we look back and wish for a different outcome. I had 10,000 shares with a cost basis of 14 and I sold 50 covered call contracts, not expecting to shoot beyond, lol. I still have 5,000 but oh well. What’s yours?

I love PLTR, why the sudden surge of 35%? Who were the buyers that triggered this?

I ask because we’ve had great earnings for the last year but saw a decline and great earnings and a large increase.

So was this an institutional play and retail followed?

Just curious. Today I read that SEC has rules against market manipulation, including rumor mongering and even front-running of trades.

I link this back to what Michael Burry did in April and May, and have the following questions.

1. Do public statements like "Palantir is overvalued" and "I have XYZ put position on Palantir" actually imply market manipulation?

2. If (1) is true, then why is Michael Burry not taken to task for violating such rules?

3. If (1) and (2) are both true, then how about analyst estimates? Aren't they also a form of market manipulation?

In totality, I am not affected by any of this nonsense. Holding for the long term. But I am just curious about the rules in the casino.

Who do you think is better in explaining the PLTR narrative?

USA Today Co., the largest newspaper chain in the country, announced Thursday that it is partnering with technology company Palantir to better monetize its customer data.

A new partnership aims to fix a problem the Pentagon has quietly worried about for years.

Mercury Systems and Palantir Technologies just agreed to automate the exact process that once nearly cost Mercury its credibility with the Pentagon.

Three years ago, the Andover, Massachusetts, defense electronics maker was writing down earnings and answering to an activist investor because its factories could not deliver on schedule.

New partnership announcements right after earnings. Already looking good!
