Palantir Lost $875 Million, but Explosive Growth Changes Everything

Palantir (NASDAQ:PLTR) just lost an $875 million FAA AI contract to a much smaller rival, exposing a competitive risk investors can’t ignore.

The contract loss matters, but the bigger question is whether Palantir’s extraordinary growth can make today’s expensive stock look increasingly reasonable.
