Pretty sure it's just the beginning. Palantir Will be the dystopian super company you see in sci-fi movies

View on HN

Considering they run killbots, probably already there.

Already is

Least authoritarian libertarians

Time to buy?

Was before the election

Their stock has tripled since november, they are way to overvalued. Either way I would not put my money on their stock, I do not want to support such company. Vote with your wallet.

Speak for yourself....Writing was on the wall the minute I saw where the funding for Palantir was coming from. Been in since $12 a share, holding tight until they take over.

Praying the Pala-net will look favorably on share holders in a psuedo Roko's basilisk sort of situation.

P/E ~700

Good luck with that

Oh, you think the price of equities will mean anything when Skynet takes over.

I'll be seen as a friend of the bots. A Godfather who funded their existence in the first place. The Digital Gods will favor me and my 100 shares as one of their own creators

/s (hope that was obvious. In reality, I'm pretty sure Theil's influence on the current admin will only increase Palantir's influence in the gov, but I don't think we're here for my speculative DD)

Missed jumping in at $16 and ended up watching and waiting for a year.

Eventually jumped in at $40 just before the election, as well as picking some bargain shares in critical mineral mining/processing. All are looking very good right now.

Classic backseat financial analysis - earning report last night showing they exceeded all analyst expectations (yet again) and further showed that the valuations is definitely holding. They exceeded pretty much every financial area they could and have just crossed $1bn in revenue. The proof is in the pudding, currently they are domination the market and for good reason. Sure there will become a point of uncertainty where people think they can't keep riding the price wave and people sell, but I think they have way more to deliver whether you like them or not

If nothing to hold until the holidays.

Do you even know what Palantir actually do? Because I see so many people talking about Palantir, but it seems apparent they've no idea what the business does, or sells, or how it even makes money except "through the government".

Like...they're a software firm. They specialize in government contracting. They sell software to the government, to fulfill tenders and requests asked for by the government (which is its own subset because government contracting generally sucks and is it's own skillset).

They're proudly complicit in genocide and war crimes.

Basically they're selling BI-solutions for tyranny, usually by convincing government officials that it's a good idea to aggregate data sets that are separate for good reasons and then they'll achieve greater power over their subjects. That's the idea in the NHS project, that's what they're doing in the US and so on.

Yes, and a contract killer only fulfills tenders and requests asked for by their clients. We still call it murder, though.
