Or perhaps investors would do well to sit back and wait. Here's a peek behind the curtain of Palantir stock. Palantir's earnings dominance Palantir operates dominant artificial intelligence (AI) platforms that specialize in pulling information from multiple sources to allow users to make real-time decisions. Its Gotham platform is used by governments and militaries to tap into satellites and scour other sources of information to help commanders position their troops and achieve objectives. The company's work came to light when it was credited for helping the U.S. military track down 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden. Under the Trump administration, it's greatly expanding its work to include Homeland Security, the State Department, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Meanwhile, Palantir's Foundry platform is used by commercial customers to help manage a range of activities from hospital records to supply chains and reduce manufacturing costs.
