5 Reasons to Buy Palantir After Its Post-Earnings Plunge

Palantir's (NYSE: PLTR) stock recently plunged after the data analytics firm posted mixed fourth-quarter numbers. Its revenue rose 40% year over year to $322.1 million, beating estimates by $21 million. But its net loss only narrowed slightly from $159.3 million to $148.3 million, or $0.08 per share, which missed the projected profit of $0.02 per share.
