Artificial quality bundle powerhouse Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR) remains 1 of the market's astir polarizing stocks. Although the expert community's statement 12-month terms people of $191.29 stands astir 50% supra the ticker's contiguous price, Michael Burry argues that it's not adjacent worthy $50 per share.

If Burry's sanction rings a bell, it's apt due to the fact that the communicative of his massively profitable stake against subprime mortgages backmost successful the run-up to the fiscal situation was featured successful the 2015 film The Big Short (based connected the 2010 publication of the aforesaid name).

His statement holds astatine slightest a small spot of water.
