Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading minority and Woman-owned national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia.

As detailed below, the lawsuit focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (1) Palantir's investments in marketable securities were having a significant negative impact on the Company's earnings per share ("EPS") results; (2) Palantir overstated the sustainability of its government segment's growth and revenues; (3) Palantir was experiencing a significant slowdown in revenue growth, particularly among its government customers, despite ongoing global conflicts and market disruptions; (4) as a result of all the foregoing, the Company was likely to miss consensus estimates for its first quarter 2022 ("Q1") EPS and second quarter 2022 ("Q2") sales outlook; and (5) as a result, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

Palantir is a software and data analytics company. Despite years of resisting a public offering, in July 2020 Palantir announced that it had made a confidential submission of a draft registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a public offering via a direct listing. And to secure a high valuation in connection with the Offering, Palantir needed to demonstrate to investors that Palantir was poised to eventually turn a profit by sustaining its recent revenue growth and improving its operating efficiencies.

But as the Palantir class action lawsuit alleges, unbeknownst to investors, at the time of the Offering, Palantir's robust growth in government revenue and deal value had been temporarily inflated by short-term contracts that Palantir had entered into in connection with government responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Palantir class action lawsuit further alleges that following the Offering, to create the appearance of continued robust client and revenue growth in the face of waning government support, Palantir launched a highly unorthodox investment program in which Palantir invested in early-stage companies in exchange for these companies agreeing to enter into contracts for Palantir's products and services (the "SPAC Investment Strategy").

But beginning in November 2021, through a series of partial disclosures, Palantir revealed an abrupt slowdown in both its government and commercial operating segments. Rather than experiencing accelerating growth, Palantir has ultimately revealed sequential declines in its government revenue, government deal value, and total deal value. Similarly, Palantir's commercial business has stalled, and Palantir was forced to abandon its SPAC Investment Strategy and effectively pull its five-year revenue guidance just a year-and-a-half after first announcing it.

As a result, the price of Palantir stock collapsed more than 80% below the Class Period high to less than $8 per share, causing investors to suffer significant losses and economic damages under the federal securities laws.

The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not.

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding Palantir conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.
