Palantir - What does the Seeing Stone see?
$Palantir(PLTR.US)$ is one of the most talked about stocks in the recent years.
Yet it was talked about way back when the Lord of The Rings trilogy graced the golden screens.
Palantir - What does the Seeing Stone see?
Share prices tanked after results, so is something wrong, or is this the opportunity  to enter?

Government revenue accounted for 57% of total sales for the latest quarter. During the quarter, Palantir announced a contract from the US Special Operations Command that could be worth up to USD 464 million.
However, on a totality, results from the government business were disappointing.
3. Customer count growth and billings continue to grow

One bright side also is the customer count growth. Palantir grew its customers by 38% YoY, while billings also raised by 52%.
4. Booster guidance, and doing stock buybacks

One of the surprises was the guidance boost, where Palantir said third-quarter revenue will likely be between $553 million and USD 557 million, ahead of the USD 552 million expected by analysts.
The other was a USD 1 billion stock buyback plan.
