("Palantir") (NYSE:PLTR) on behalf of those who purchased Palantir securities between securities between November 9, 2021 and May 6, 2022, inclusive (the "Class Period").

According to the complaint, on May 9, 2022, Palantir issued a press release announcing its first quarter financial results and guidance for the second quarter. Palantir disclosed that government revenue grew by only 16% year-over-year for the first quarter, representing a significant slowdown in revenue growth compared to prior quarters, and that, for the second quarter, Palantir expected $470 million in sales, compared to estimates of $483.76 million.
Following this news, Palantir's stock price fell $2.02 per share, or over 21%, to close at $7.46 per share on May 9, 2022.
The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, the defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Palantir's investments in marketable securities were having a significant negative impact on the Palantir's earnings per share ("EPS") results; (ii) Palantir overstated the sustainability of its government segment's growth and revenues; (iii) Palantir was experiencing a significant slowdown in revenue growth, particularly among its government customers, despite ongoing global conflicts and market disruptions; (iv) as a result of all the foregoing, Palantir was likely to miss consensus estimates for its first quarter 2022 EPS and second quarter 2022 sales outlook; and (v) as a result, the Palantir's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
