Why $PLTR will reach $1T market cap over the long term (60X+ from here): Palantir is a formidable company because it taps into humanity's core wealth creation mechanism: acquiring insights that translate into better decisions. Throughout history, humans have created wealth by finding new ways to configure atoms and electrons to yield some kind of benefit. In other words, we create wealth by acquiring knowledge. In today's economy, most wealth is produced through private enterprise. Companies are essentially optimization functions that aim to maximize useful output while minimizing inputs. They are compressed representations of the Information Game. However, humanity has been playing this game in beginner mode. We run companies based on subjective observations and do not understand most of the information flows within and around a company. Palantir changes everything. It enables companies to create digital twins, exhaustive digital representations of organizations. This unleashes two powerful technologies into the enterprise: >AI >Blockchain Digital twins allow organizations to become data-churning machines. Every little action inside an organization turns into additional data being generated. This data can then be processed by machine learning models to extract useful insights at a far higher pace and lower cost than humans ever could. This commoditizes predictions, enabling organizations to run simulations first and execute later. As machine learning models become more accurate, much operational complexity can be delegated to smart contracts, which can be trusted to execute as programmed. This will all radically decrease costs relative to revenue in whatever industry it touches. We can visualize a company that gets increasingly smarter as it operates, in which humans can almost forget about all the boring, repetitive tasks. Palantir enables this shift via an increasingly productized software suite, ideally positioning it to deliver and capture much of the value. As industry evolves in this direction, we can expect Palantir to be responsible for the OPEX optimization of a growing number of companies across the world. In this sense, Palantir is likely to become a key asset for enterprise in general and, in turn, this will make the company very valuable. In other words: >Palantir is a powerful tool that can help companies make better decisions, faster. >This will make them more efficient and profitable. As more and more companies adopt Palantir, it is likely to become a key player in the global economy.
