$PLTR and Rackspace Technology. Under the deal, Rackspace will provide data migration and implementation services using Palantir's platforms. The news sent Rackspace shares soaring over 200%, though analysts noted the company's $2.8 billion debt load and questioned its ability to scale its Palantir-trained workforce from 30 to 250 engineers within 12 months.

On Reddit, the partnership was discussed as a sign of Palantir's growing commercial traction, with users debating whether the deal would meaningfully expand the company's enterprise footprint or primarily benefit Rackspace as a distressed turnaround play.

Valuation Debate Continues

Despite strong fundamentals — including a commercial customer base of over 500 U.S. clients and record contract values of $1.3 billion in the latest quarter — Palantir's valuation remains a point of contention. Multiple news outlets on Feb. 18 questioned whether the stock's high multiple is justified, even as long-term growth investors see the recent pullback as a potential entry point.

On Reddit, the valuation debate was a recurring theme, with some users highlighting the company's profitability and government contracts as moats, while others warned of downside risk if AI spending slows.
