Palantir's High Expectations

Despite posting solid financial earnings results on Monday, the big data company Palantir $PLTR ( ▼ 12.05% ) fell 9.25% in after-hours trading.

Financials: Palantir reported earnings of 13 cents per share in the past quarter, which was expected. It also reported revenue of $883.85 million, which was better than expected. The company also lifted its financial outlook.

Early Bird’s Nest Egg Gains: Investors expected not just a beat from Palantir but a significant outperformance or a major upward revision in guidance to justify further gains. The company’s strong results were already priced in and did not dramatically exceed already lofty forecasts.

Final Thoughts: Palantir has bucked the trends of the broader market this year, with its stock up over 60%.
