Michael Burry has launched a short position against Palantir Technologies, alleging the company is using "nefarious tricks" such as channel stuffing and aggressive revenue recognition to inflate its financial results.
- Burry noted that Palantir’s accounts receivable are outgrowing revenue, suggesting the company is booking sales faster than it collects cash.
- The market is currently weighing these allegations against the company's strong 57% adjusted operating margins and an extreme valuation of nearly 100 times forward earnings.
- Shares of Palantir were trading at $134.45, down 0.69% following the report.
