Army Vantage Reaffirms Palantir Partnership with $114M Agreement December 21, 2020 06:59 AM Eastern Standard Time DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSELTR) announced today that the U.S. Army’s Program Executive Office for Enterprise Information Systems (PEO EIS) opted to execute the second year of its partnership with Palantir on the Army Vantage program, for a total price of $113.8 million for the year. In December 2019, the U.S. Army selected Palantir for a $458 million production agreement to power Army Vantage, a comprehensive data analytics platform to facilitate data-driven decision making. The contract was for a base year and three option years, and Palantir was awarded $110 million at the time for the base year. The Army selected Palantir under a competitive prototype process and worked with Palantir to implement Army Vantage and quickly bring it to production. Vantage is powered by Palantir’s software, which provides a central operating system that enhances readiness and offers near real-time visibility and access to disparate Army data sources on an integrated data platform. The Palantir platform enables organizations to make better use of the data they have by breaking down silos and offering a single operating picture. Over the last year alone, Army Vantage has helped Army leaders make data-driven decisions in the fight against COVID-19 and allowed billions of taxpayer dollars to be freed up for high priority projects. In November, Army Vantage received a Public Sector Government Innovation Award for making data analysis accessible across the Army. “This renewal highlights the partnership between Palantir and the Army,” said Doug Philippone, Global Defense Lead at Palantir. “Vantage continues to fulfill its mission of helping the U.S. Army make the best possible use of its data.” About Palantir Technologies Palantir Technologies is a software company that builds enterprise data platforms for use by organizations with complex and sensitive data environments. From building safer cars and planes, to discovering new drugs and combating terrorism, Palantir helps customers across the public, private, and nonprofit sectors transform the way they use their data.

Difficult day for me must make my way back to NYC-- Shout you out at 3:00-> the close. Be Careful Out There- ~si
Van if I've learned one thing over the years it's that these companies that do bizz with the Gov like LDOS and many more they drop PR after PR about large contract after large contract and nobody cares a whit. It's so frustrating I've added up billions of income and the stocks do not move. The investor becomes numb to these add on contracts and renewels and seem to only react when a contract is outright lost.-- Go With Cloudfire. -si
Yeah I agree 100%. That's why I wrote the govt stuff is blah blah blah.... PLTR's money is going to come from the private sector. That said, I'm sure they'll announce so kind of Covid deal soon enough. I know they have the new one with the FDA or whoever, but I suspect some kind of logistics thing. Hey great call on VUZI btw. I doubted you lol. $3.70 to $8 plus in a month. Nasstassia is not happy with me right now. Her and Yulia went for a walk on the beach.
Hey watch your beer stocks!!! Beer giants bid down on anxiety over on-premise sales recovery Dec. 21, 2020 10:10 AM ETAnheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV (BUD) The stocks of the largest beer companies in the world are lower after new COIVD-19 restrictions are announced in Europe due to concerns over a new strain in the U.K. In particular, more restaurant and pub closings, as well as event cancellations. The development pushes back the expected timeline for a return of on-premise beer sales to 2019 levels and could also lead to revised downward estimates for Q4. Anheuser-Busch InBev (NYSE:BUD) is down 3.88% in the U.S., Carlsberg (OTCPK:CABGY) is off 2.48% in Copenhagen and Heineken (OTCQX:HEINY) is off 3.35% in Amsterdam. Earlier in the day, Asahi Group Holdings (OTCPK:ASBRF) fell about 1% in Tokyo.
