This shows how naive and unprepared the market and general public in the US is for blatant political corruption. This is a Thiel company. The administration will double down on Palantir because their cofounder and chair helped fund the current administration's election. Just like how they will benefit Musk's companies.

So it's a buy opportunity, eh?

I have my standards and will pass. Beyond that, PLTR has already run up since $20 a share until last May, and their valuation not compatible with high future returns. But remember this post.

Errr, I think the market has priced in an awful lot of corruption. PLTR closed at $41.41 on November 4th (day before election), and after its 10% drop today, it closed at $112.06. The market might be saying that even with the corruption, if the total pie shrinks by enough, it hurts the company.

I mean, in the sense that the "market" says anything at all.

It is kind of funny to me that the lede is about Palontir instead of the absolutely stunning call by a Republican for the DoD to reduce budget by 8%.

> list of potential cuts totaling about $50 billion from the upcoming budget for fiscal year 2026 to be redirected into President Donald Trump's priorities for national defense.

So no cuts

The beauty of privatization at work. Public entities budget changes only impact their customers. 4D chess.

Palantir is up 170% still since the election
