After 17 years, data analytics company Palantir is making its public market debut. Best known for its sometimes controversial work with U.S. government agencies like the CIA, the DoD and ICE, Palantir has increasingly been working with commercial customers as well, which investors hope will put it on a path to profitability.

It's 20% cheaper now than when I came in... It's selling for a discount now... Not worried, It's just going to take longer to "mature" on my end... It was under $23 today, that's a bargain.

Quote from Peter Thiel...”Consider an elementary proposition: companies exist to make money, not to lose it. This should be obvious to any thinking person. But it wasn’t so obvious to many in the late 1990s, when no loss was too big to be described as an investment in an even bigger, brighter future. The conventional wisdom of the “New Economy” accepted page views as a more authoritative, forward-looking financial metric than something as pedestrian as profit. Conventional beliefs only ever come to appear arbitrary and wrong in retrospect; whenever one collapses, we call the old belief a bubble.” - Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future by Peter Thiel, Blake Masters

I have actually used palantir front end software as a managing director of IT in my department for the global firm I’ve been working at since 2012. Integration with palantir initiated between 2017-2018. I must say they spare no expense and really get the expertise on sight quickly and unlike other competitors really tailor make their solution to our criteria and listen to us and not just leave the internal teams to it. The suite is good and interactive and data integration is the best I’ve seen especially between legacy datasets. I can see why palantir suite works well with government because of the strength of the backend. If the key staff stay on in this company and don’t cash out and life on an island, this will certainly be a company of the future

Salesforce "CRM" is just one of the many industries that pltr will disrupt (so as a small analogy of many potential analogies, i will argue that if PLTR can easily blow out of the water salesforce CRM company, and salesforce is at $212 , pltr price target should at least, at the very minimum be higher than that. It will take about 5 years for them to take over salesforce market share IMO.

They should cite some examples as to exactly how the software works. I've watched a few videos and I still have no clue. Essentially, it collects data, analyzes it and the output should tell you if there are irregularities. Still not very clear.

[@dschafer6634]

Once the data is collected, after it goes though it’s algorithms it can provide intelligence professionals, soldiers, businesses a probability model of a predicable future outcome. It can provide decision makes the insight as to what actions they can take to reduce or eliminate those probabilities all-together. And no it does mean providing ‘targets’ necessarily. I’ve worked in the intel community for DoD and knowing what variables lead to an outcome can help us to change those variables and eliminate the outcome all together without firing a shot. This is the simplest answer I can give here but this technology does save lives. It also helps identify human trafficking channels and helps uncover other nefarious activity.

@@dschafer6634 Idiot, you explained what they do with the data. Not how they get them in the first place, which is a huge concern.

I've had access to palantir a number of times. Never used it since I never had any training on it prior to those situations.

Cool company but losing money for 17 years doesn't bode well for them being the next wildly popular tech company. I guess it worked for Amazon though.

[@tpfrk8977]

hmm.. sounds a bit overhyped to me. Not much detail on how it actually works or how it can make such a difference in all of these different use cases

[@newagepreipo2870]

Watch this video, i go further into detail. CNBC was a bit influenced by my video on palantir. Flattering. :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4fCmnywjd5rkM0

Hey i liked your video better. They really did copy you.

Palantir as an entity is smart. I'm sure they have some slick way to hide the profits.

[@mayurbhor2231]

Hope that Palantir is not leveraged by Trump in upcoming elections !

"Perfectly normal for a software company to show losses"...No, it's not. Usually a software company is cash-rich within few years of operations.

[@ollieo7038]

That is not the case for most start up technology companies that have IPO'd over the last 5 years.

[@poza55555]

@@ollieo7038 I am talking about software companies in particular and not tech companies. There are companies who have software products but most of their research or expenses are in a different sector/ industry. Amazon or Tesla are some such examples. I believe a software company which has been in existing for more than a decade can generate positive profits. If not, their focus is not on profit and they just have enough money from investors to survive long term.

awesome cool

[@goldenweave9455]

honestly, what these companies do is essentially reinforce what people already know. The holy grail is whether the software can consistently create models that can reliably predict and not just describe the data. Unfortunately, most of these data mining companies are just doing best guesses from people. Madoff's scheme was uncovered by Markopolos, bin Laden was by CIA using red team techniques (using people's experience to challenge reports), and SAP already has analytics packages for those who already have SAP S/4HANA installed. So what exactly does Palantir bring differently to the table?
