About Palantir.

Palantir makes software that helps companies and governments analyze large amounts of data to make better decisions.

The case for and against

Both sides of the story, in plain English.

Bull case
  • Business Boom

    Palantir is selling its software to a lot more businesses. They got 83% more customers this year compared to last year. This is great because it means more companies find their software useful, and Palantir can make more money.

  • Money Maker

    Palantir is now making a lot of money from its software. They earned $134 million in profit this quarter, which is much more than before. This shows that their business is working well and they're not just spending money, but actually earning it.

Bear case
  • Shaky Deals

    Many of Palantir's contracts allow customers to cancel whenever they want. This could be a problem because if many customers decide to leave, Palantir might suddenly lose a lot of money.

  • Hidden Costs

    Palantir pays its employees partly with company stock instead of just cash. While this saves cash, it can make it hard to know how much the company is really spending on salaries. It also means that current shareholders might own less of the company over time as more stock is given to employees.
