Palantir stock declined by ~9% on the day but has since recovered its $180 range:

The Reuters piece is a classic example of incomplete reporting impacting markets. The fact that the issues were mitigated but not mentioned in the article speaks to a broader challenge in tech covrage - sensational headlines without full context. The 9% drop followed by recovery shows that long-term investors see through the noise. Great compilation of community reactions.
The Reuters article is a textbook example of how legacy media frames defense technology stories. They highlighted the 'deep flaws' but conveniently omitted that these were alredy addressed - that's not journalism, that's clickbait with real financial consequences for retail investors. What's more interesting is how quickly the market recovered once people actually read beyond the headline. The temporary 9% drop just reinforced that Palantir faces higher scrutiny standards than most tech companies, which is both a burden and a badge of legitimacy in the defense space.
