@Jasoncgs:$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ Most analysts are looking for approximately 2 cents in EPS and around $475 million in revenues for the last quarter. However, Palantir can probably surpass these estimates. Many analysts have been overly pessimistic about Palantir, and its prospects and consensus figures may be lowballed at this point. I believe Palantir can deliver 3 cents per share and roughly $480 million in revenues for the third quarter. While a one-cent beat is nothing to get too excited about, it should demonstrate that Palantir will likely become more profitable sooner than expected. Also, even a small beat could send Palantir's badly beaten-down stock substantially higher from current levels.
