Palantir & Mercado Libre Earnings Reviews + Hims Earnings Snapshot

Palantir & Mercado Libre Earnings Reviews + Hims Earnings Snapshot

This piece contains a brief Hims earnings snapshot, a Mercado Libre earnings review & a Palantir earnings review. The Hims review (with far more detail) will come tomorrow with a Lemonade review. At first glance, the Hims quarter looks like a weaker performance than they’ve delivered in a while. Not terrible and also not as good as we’ve grown to expect from them. As most of you know, I’m not a bull here, but I need to read the transcript and letter before commenting further. Stay tuned.
