Does This Recent Acquisition Make BigBear.ai Stock a Good Buy?

Some investors are hopeful that data analytics company BigBear.ai (NYSE: BBAI) can become the next Palantir Technologies. The problem is that the numbers don't back up that notion -- not yet, anyway. BigBear.ai isn't anywhere near turning a profit, and its top-line growth hasn't been nearly as strong or consistent as Palantir's.

Could that deal have been a turning point for the stock, and does it make BigBear.ai a better buy today?Image source: Getty Images.Continue readingWeiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei MotleyFool Weiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei MotleyFool
