Why the Original Palantir Weekly Options Trade was Executed?
Palantir Technologies Inc (NYSE: PLTR) shares rocketed higher for various reasons that add up to 1 thing: positive GAAP cash flow and the expectations for positive cash flow to continue through the end of the year. This news is unsurprising, given the company’s position as a cloud-based cyber-security data-management firm, but the 25% pop in share prices was. Based on the results from Microsoft NASDAQ: MSFT, Datadog NASDAQ: DDOG and others in the cloud industry, this is good news for Palantir and the group, which has been beaten down over the past year. The takeaway is that Palantir stock is bottoming, and the analysts’ all-seeing eye forecasts higher share prices are ahead.
Palantir results are positive on all counts. The company reported $525.19 million in revenue to beat the consensus by nearly 400 basis points. The gain was driven by strength in all categories, led by strength in the US. US sales grew by 23% compared to lower rates globally, with Government spending up 20% (22% in the US) and Consumer up 15% (26% in the US).
The maker of data analytics software gave a relentlessly bright outlook as it included AI power into its projections. For the undergoing June quarter, Palantir guided for revenue of $530 million, below estimates of $537 million.
Chief Executive Alex Karp believes the software maker is well-positioned to capitalize on AI developments, stating that the engagement and demand for the new AI Platform is without precedent, as the company works its way to convert this demand into an expanded reach. First iteration will be available to selected customers as early as this month.

Summary……
There has been some fear that Palantir's emphasis on government clients might hold back its long-term growth. However, the company has worked to expand its corporate offerings as well. Moreover, with hopes to tap into artificial intelligence trends, Palantir is emerging as a potential favorite for AI investors as well.
