What Happened
怎么了
Bank of America initiated coverage of Palantir with a contrarian "buy" rating, drawing the attention of investors in the process. Bank of America forecasts brighter days ahead for the company that was co-founded by investor Peter Thiel and is named after a magical stone from The Lord of the Rings series.
美国银行以反向“买入”评级开始了对Palantir的报道，在此过程中吸引了投资者的注意。美国银行预测，这家由投资者彼得·蒂尔联合创立、以一块神奇的石头命名的公司未来将会更加光明。指环王系列片。
Currently, the bulk of Palantir's revenue comes from contracts it has with governments around the world, notably in the U.S. and United Kingdom. The company analyzes vast amounts of data, including for U.S. intelligence and defense agencies. The firm expects PLTR stock to rise as it diversifies its business to include more private sector companies and as demand for artificial intelligence grows exponentially.
目前，Palantir的大部分收入来自与世界各国政府签订的合同，特别是美国和英国的政府。该公司分析了大量数据，包括为美国情报和国防机构提供的数据。该公司预计，随着业务多元化，包括更多私营部门公司，以及对人工智能的需求呈指数级增长，PLTR的库存将会上升。
However, despite Bank of America's bullish rating, the company continues to struggle to meet Wall Street expectations. At the start of May, PLTR stock fell 21% in a single trading session after the company delivered a weaker-than-expected revenue outlook and missed analyst forecasts for its first-quarter financial results. Palantir reported earnings per share (EPS) of 2 cents versus an expected 4 cents, according to Refinitiv data.
然而，尽管美国银行评级看涨，但该公司仍难以达到华尔街的预期。5月初，在该公司发布了弱于预期的收入预期和不及预期对第一季度财务业绩的预期后，该公司股价在一个交易日内下跌了21%。根据Refinitiv的数据，Palantir公布的每股收益(EPS)为2美分，而预期为4美分。
Palantir's Q1 revenue came in at $446 million versus the $443 million that was expected on the Street. Worse, the company forecast $470 million of revenue for the second quarter, which is below analyst expectations of $483.7 million.
Palantir第一季度营收为4.46亿美元，而华尔街预期为4.43亿美元。更糟糕的是，该公司预计第二季度营收为4.7亿美元，低于分析师预期的4.837亿美元。
