Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR.US) has announced the receipt of a significant authorization from the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA). Concurrently, prominent investor Michael Burry has expressed a cautious outlook on the company's stock. According to a corporate announcement, DISA has approved the extension of the provisional authorizations for its Federal Cloud Service, Forward Level 5 and Impact Level 6, to include on-premises and edge deployment scenarios. This development means Palantir's technology stack—encompassing several core products, including its artificial intelligence platform—can now be deployed and operated locally and at the edge on any hardware. This authorization provides the U.S. government with "hardware-agnostic" flexibility, enabling the deployment of multi-vendor architectures for critical missions. "Future combat requirements demand software capabilities that are ubiquitous—from enterprise data centers to the tactical edge," stated Akash Jain, President of USG and Chief Technology Officer at Palantir. "PFCS Forward fulfills this commitment with a hardware-agnostic authorization, allowing critical mission capabilities to be deployed with the survivability and resilience required by warfighters. We are proud to continue our collaboration with DISA, providing the U.S. government with the flexibility to deploy cutting-edge technology as mission needs dictate. This opens the door for a true multi-vendor architecture at the edge, introducing best-in-class commercial technology to critical national security missions at an unprecedented pace." Separately, well-known investor Michael Burry published a cautious assessment of Palantir on his investment website. Burry, who gained fame for successfully shorting the U.S. subprime mortgage market ahead of the 2008 financial crisis and is one of the figures portrayed in the film "The Big Short," is closely watched for his warnings regarding technology stocks and market bubbles. Earlier this month, Burry indicated he was "doing some work on Palantir." Recently, he warned that Palantir's stock is poised for a significant technical breakdown, potentially plummeting nearly 60%. He suggested the next key support level for the share price is near $80, with an ultimate "landing zone" between $50 and $60. At the time of writing, Palantir's shares were up slightly by 0.36% in pre-market trading.
