Is Palantir beginning to deflate on the stock market? It's fallen 18%, so far, this week

The main reason for the decline in Palantir's shares was a Morgan Stanley report in which it downgraded the company to underweight by estimating that its shares were trading at a "significant premium" relative to the rest of the industry. In addition, the analyst who signed the report pointed out that the future risk/reward ratio looks negative.

This analysis joins that of Citron Research, which called Palantir's listing "a casino" and stated that it's shorting with a target price of $20 compared to the current $22.51. For its part, George Soros' fund has also indicated that it is selling shares in the company.
