Famed investor Michael Burry, known for his 2008 subprime mortgage crash call, recently published a 10,000-word critique of Palantir Technologies (PLTR), predicting its stock has a fair value of just $46 per share, 65% below current levels. Burry's analysis focuses heavily on Palantir's long history of unprofitability, reliance on one-off sales, heavy spending, and stock-based compensation, arguing these fundamentals remain flawed despite recent growth. Palantir's fourth-quarter results, however, present a stark rebuttal: revenue surged 70% year-over-year to $1.4 billion, driven by a 137% jump in U.S. commercial sales and record contract value, with the company's AI platform fueling 180 million-dollar-plus deals. Adjusted EPS climbed 79% to $0.25, showcasing operational excellence that Burry's historical focus overlooks.
