Some of the biggest names in the market have reported. Expectations were high. In some cases, extremely high. For example, even a double beat couldn’t push Palantir (PLTR) shares higher.

Which begs the question: are “good” results good enough to meet the high expectations priced into these stocks?

Because in this market, it’s not just about beating estimates.

It’s about clearing the real bar, the expectations for future cash flows for the life of the company. That’s what the stock price reflects.
