While this appreciation was initially grounded in legitimate fundamental improvements, I believe the rally has now entered dangerous territory driven more by market euphoria around AI adoption than by rational valuation metrics. The current forward Non-GAAP P/E ratio of 158x and EV/Sales multiple of 46x represent premiums that are difficult to justify under any reasonable growth assumptions.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Looking at Palantir's recent operational performance the company has undeniably executed well on its growth strategy. The third quarter of 2024 marked a significant milestone with revenue reaching $725.5 million exceeding analyst estimates by $22 million. This represented a 30% YoY growth rate, notably accelerating from previous quarters. What's particularly impressive is the composition of this growth: U.S. commercial revenue surged 54% YoY while the traditionally stable government segment grew by a robust 40%.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The company's transformation in profitability metrics has been even more remarkable. Free cash flow generation reached $434.5 million in Q3 representing a staggering 208% YoY increase. More importantly, free cash flow margins expanded to 60%, compared to 25% in the year-ago period, demonstrating operational leverage in the business model. This improvement in cash generation efficiency suggests that Palantir has successfully transitioned from its previous cash burning growth phase to a more sustainable financial model.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The addition of new U.S. commercial customers in Q3 alone, bringing the total commercial customer base to 498 (representing 51% YoY growth), indicates strong market acceptance of Palantir's expanded product portfolio, particularly its Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP). The growth in commercial customers is especially significant, as it reduces the company's historical dependence on government contracts and validates its ability to compete in the broader enterprise market.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">However, this is where I diverge from the bullish narrative. While these operational improvements are impressive, I believe the current valuation has overshot what these fundamentals can reasonably support. The market is effectively pricing in not just continued excellence but perfect execution for years to come. Based on Wall Street's earnings estimates, which project 17% earnings growth over the next twelve months, the forward P/E ratio of 158x is dramatically overdone. For context, this gives Palantir a PEG ratio of 6, nearly three times higher than the 2.0 level typically considered expensive.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">What's particularly concerning is the sharp disconnect between Palantir's valuation and both its historical averages and peers. Even among high-growth software peers like Snowflake and CrowdStrike, which trade at rich valuations themselves, Palantir's multiples stand out as extreme.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The core issue isn't whether Palantir is a good company - it clearly is - but whether it's a good investment at current price. The market has pushed the stock well beyond what even the most optimistic growth scenarios can justify creating a precarious situation where any slight disappointment in execution could trigger significant multiple compression. This sets up an unfavorable risk-reward dynamic that investors should carefully consider especially given the stock's spectacular YTD appreciation.</p><h2 id=\"id_1507115959\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Severe Overvaluation</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The reason why I am making an argument for taking profits is mainly because of its currently inflated valuation metrics which have reached levels that are difficult to justify even under the most optimistic growth scenarios. Palantir's current valuation ratios reveal a concerning image of the company's fundamental value and its market price even when accounting for its impressive AI-driven growth trajectory and strong government relationships.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9a996a424f4c3c2f0cf0c0f39208cbec\" alt=\"Data by YCharts\" title=\"Data by YCharts\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"456\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Palantir currently trades at a forward P/E ratio of 158x, representing a staggering 500% premium to the sector median of 25.67x. This premium becomes even more pronounced when examining other key metrics. The company's EV/Sales (FWD) multiple of 46x stands at an astronomical 1,365% above the sector median of 3.15x, while its EV/EBITDA (FWD) ratio of 118x commands a 667% premium to the sector median of just 15.5x.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/429e4771aa892796b95e9f6dd596c772\" alt=\"Data by YCharts\" title=\"Data by YCharts\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"721\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">When comparing Palantir to its closest peers in the enterprise software and AI space, typically high-growth software companies typically command premium valuations, but Palantir's multiples stand out as extreme even in this context. Looking at forward P/E ratios, established players like Synopsys (SNPS) and Cadence (CDNS) trade at 37.2x and 50.13x respectively, while even high-growth cybersecurity leader CrowdStrike trades at a lower multiple of 91.9x. Only Snowflake (SNOW), at 203x, trades at a higher forward P/E, though notably, its EV/Sales multiple of 10.56x is substantially lower than Palantir's 46x.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The bull case for maintaining these premium valuations rests heavily on Palantir's Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) and its entrenched position within government agencies. However, this argument has its own flaws. First, the company's current 30% revenue growth rate (YoY) is impressive. The margin expansion is also impressive but faces natural limitations. Palantir has successfully transitioned from being a cash burning growth company to achieving a net income margin of nearly 20%, with free cash flow margins expanding to 60% from 25% a year ago. However, maintaining this pace of improvement will become increasingly difficult as the company scales.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Competition in the commercial space poses another significant challenge to Palantir's premium valuation. While the company's government relationships provide a strong moat for that segment of the business, the commercial space is highly competitive. Palantir faces formidable competition from established players like IBM, CrowdStrike (CRWD), SentinelOne (S), Oracle (ORCL) and Microsoft (MSFT) with deep pockets and strong AI capabilities.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">My price target for (PLTR), incorporating both growth prospects and market conditions, points to a fair value estimate of $38.50 per share. This target reflects a comprehensive assessment of Palantir's growth trajectory and earnings potential, while acknowledging the premium multiply the market has historically awarded to the company.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Using a growth adjusted valuation framework, Wall Street's median price target of $28 per share appears plausible, implying a potential downside of 47% from current levels. Even if we use more optimistic assumptions - a 25% annual EPS growth rate and a premium forward P/E multiple of 55x - my analysis suggests a fair value of $38.50.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">What makes this valuation situation particularly precarious is the high concentration of retail investors in Palantir's shareholder base, with approximately 50% of shares held by retail investors. This ownership structure could amplify volatility in both directions, potentially leading to rapid multiple compression if market sentiment shifts or if the company faces any execution challenges in maintaining its current growth trajectory.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">My methodology behind this price target, I projected Palantir's earnings growth over the next three years, factoring in the company's improving profitability metrics and market expansion opportunities. l assume a 25% annual EPS growth rate through 2027, which is aggressive but also aligns with the company's transition from a growth-at-all-costs model to one focused on profitability. This growth rate factors in Wall Street's expectations for the AI platform market, which IDC estimates will grow at 41% annually through 2028, but Palantir's scale will make maintaining hypergrowth increasingly challenging.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Applying this growth rate to current earnings projections yields an estimated FY 2027 EPS of $0.70 per share. The target multiple of 55x forward earnings, while rich by broad market standards but because of Palantir's historical premium position within the enterprise software sector. Even this generous multiple represents a significant compression from current levels.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The downside risk scenario deserves particular attention, especially given current market conditions. In a broader market downturn or during periods of multiple compression, Palantir's stock could face substantially more pressure than my base case. During market stress periods, high multiple software stocks often see their valuations compress to levels that would imply a price below $20 per share for Palantir. This risk is amplified by the company's shareholder composition, as I mentioned earlier 50% of shares held by retail investors potentially leading to more volatile trading during market distress.</p><h2 id=\"id_3062713452\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Insider Sales</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The recent pattern of insider selling at Palantir is a significant red flag that investors cannot afford to ignore. According to Jefferies' analysis,</p><blockquote><p>Palantir's CEO having sold more than $1.2 billion of stock in the past three months, representing approximately 14% of his stake.</p></blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/b85c39dba9b6b238fae8955569751f8b\" alt=\"TrendSpider\" title=\"TrendSpider\" tg-width=\"1024\" tg-height=\"654\"/><span>TrendSpider</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">While it's common for executives to maintain pre-planned selling programs through 10b5-1 plans, both the magnitude and timing of these sales warrant careful scrutiny. The uptick in insider sales becomes particularly noteworthy when viewed against the backdrop of Palantir's broader risk/reward profile, which has shifted dramatically following the stock's 687% surge from its May 2023 lows.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Looking at near term catalysts, Palantir faces several challenges that could trigger multiple compression. The company's government business, while strong at 40% YoY growth, may face growth constraints due to budget limitations. As noted in their recent 10-Q filing, Palantir acknowledges that</p><blockquote><p>Until recent quarters, we had a history of incurring net losses, and we anticipate our operating expenses will continue to increase and we may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability in the future - PLTR Q3 10-Q Filing</p></blockquote><p style=\"text-align: left;\">This caution from management stands in stark contrast to the market's current optimistic pricing. While Palantir's AIP platform shows promise, the commercial market's higher churn risk and more competitive dynamics could pressure growth rates. These risk factors, combined with the current valuation premiums and accelerating insider sales, create an asymmetric risk/reward profile that tilts heavily toward risk at current price levels. While the stock could certainly continue its momentum-driven rally in the near term, the fundamental support for current valuations appears increasingly tenuous, suggesting investors should seriously consider taking profits and reducing exposure to more reasonable levels.</p><h2 id=\"id_3996692481\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Time to Take Profits</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">While I am impressed by Palantir's execution and long-term potential, the risk/reward profile at current levels is simply unattractive. The combination of:</p><ul style=\"\"><li><p>Extreme valuation premiums across all metrics</p></li><li><p>Increasing insider sales</p></li><li><p>High retail investor concentration (about 50% of float)</p></li></ul><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Creates a potentially volatile situation where any slight disappointment could trigger significant multiple compression.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">For investors sitting on substantial gains, I believe now is an opportune time to at least trim positions and lock in profits. The stock's momentum could certainly continue in the near term, but the downside risks now outweigh the potential for further upside. In my view, waiting for a better entry point would be the prudent strategy for those looking to initiate or add to positions.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1642056764450","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Palantir: Take Profits Before It's Too Late</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nPalantir: Take Profits Before It's Too Late\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2024-11-12 23:53 GMT+8 <a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4736156-palantir-take-profits-before-its-too-late><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryPalantir’s current valuation is unsustainable, with a forward P/E of 158x and EV/Sales multiple of 46x, well above sector averages, driven largely by AI hype.While Q3 results showed strong ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4736156-palantir-take-profits-before-its-too-late\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"PLTR":"Palantir Technologies Inc."},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4736156-palantir-take-profits-before-its-too-late","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1135175736","content_text":"SummaryPalantir’s current valuation is unsustainable, with a forward P/E of 158x and EV/Sales multiple of 46x, well above sector averages, driven largely by AI hype.While Q3 results showed strong growth and improved profitability, the stock's current price assumes flawless future execution, creating an unfavorable risk-reward scenario.Recent insider sales, including $1.2 billion by the CEO, and a retail-heavy shareholder base increase vulnerability to market shifts and volatility.Given the stretched valuation and risks, investors with gains should consider trimming positions, as current levels may not justify the stock’s elevated price.After Q3 2024 Earnings of Palantir Technologies' (NYSE:PLTR) I am taking a contrarian stance and initiating a Sell rating with a fair value estimate of $38.50. Because of overvaluation at its current market valuation of $60 per share, even when factoring in the substantial momentum in its artificial intelligence initiatives.Data by YChartsThe journey of Palantir's stock has been nothing short of remarkable, surging 687% from its May 2023 lows. While this appreciation was initially grounded in legitimate fundamental improvements, I believe the rally has now entered dangerous territory driven more by market euphoria around AI adoption than by rational valuation metrics. The current forward Non-GAAP P/E ratio of 158x and EV/Sales multiple of 46x represent premiums that are difficult to justify under any reasonable growth assumptions.Looking at Palantir's recent operational performance the company has undeniably executed well on its growth strategy. The third quarter of 2024 marked a significant milestone with revenue reaching $725.5 million exceeding analyst estimates by $22 million. This represented a 30% YoY growth rate, notably accelerating from previous quarters. What's particularly impressive is the composition of this growth: U.S. commercial revenue surged 54% YoY while the traditionally stable government segment grew by a robust 40%.The company's transformation in profitability metrics has been even more remarkable. Free cash flow generation reached $434.5 million in Q3 representing a staggering 208% YoY increase. More importantly, free cash flow margins expanded to 60%, compared to 25% in the year-ago period, demonstrating operational leverage in the business model. This improvement in cash generation efficiency suggests that Palantir has successfully transitioned from its previous cash burning growth phase to a more sustainable financial model.The addition of new U.S. commercial customers in Q3 alone, bringing the total commercial customer base to 498 (representing 51% YoY growth), indicates strong market acceptance of Palantir's expanded product portfolio, particularly its Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP).

While these operational improvements are impressive, I believe the current valuation has overshot what these fundamentals can reasonably support. The market is effectively pricing in not just continued excellence but perfect execution for years to come. Based on Wall Street's earnings estimates, which project 17% earnings growth over the next twelve months, the forward P/E ratio of 158x is dramatically overdone. For context, this gives Palantir a PEG ratio of 6, nearly three times higher than the 2.0 level typically considered expensive.What's particularly concerning is the sharp disconnect between Palantir's valuation and both its historical averages and peers. Even among high-growth software peers like Snowflake and CrowdStrike, which trade at rich valuations themselves, Palantir's multiples stand out as extreme.The core issue isn't whether Palantir is a good company - it clearly is - but whether it's a good investment at current price. The market has pushed the stock well beyond what even the most optimistic growth scenarios can justify creating a precarious situation where any slight disappointment in execution could trigger significant multiple compression. This sets up an unfavorable risk-reward dynamic that investors should carefully consider especially given the stock's spectacular YTD appreciation.Severe OvervaluationThe reason why I am making an argument for taking profits is mainly because of its currently inflated valuation metrics which have reached levels that are difficult to justify even under the most optimistic growth scenarios. Palantir's current valuation ratios reveal a concerning image of the company's fundamental value and its market price even when accounting for its impressive AI-driven growth trajectory and strong government relationships.Data by YChartsPalantir currently trades at a forward P/E ratio of 158x, representing a staggering 500% premium to the sector median of 25.67x. This premium becomes even more pronounced when examining other key metrics. The company's EV/Sales (FWD) multiple of 46x stands at an astronomical 1,365% above the sector median of 3.15x, while its EV/EBITDA (FWD) ratio of 118x commands a 667% premium to the sector median of just 15.5x.Data by YChartsWhen comparing Palantir to its closest peers in the enterprise software and AI space, typically high-growth software companies typically command premium valuations, but Palantir's multiples stand out as extreme even in this context. Looking at forward P/E ratios, established players like Synopsys (SNPS) and Cadence (CDNS) trade at 37.2x and 50.13x respectively, while even high-growth cybersecurity leader CrowdStrike trades at a lower multiple of 91.9x. Only Snowflake (SNOW), at 203x, trades at a higher forward P/E, though notably, its EV/Sales multiple of 10.56x is substantially lower than Palantir's 46x.The bull case for maintaining these premium valuations rests heavily on Palantir's Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) and its entrenched position within government agencies. However, this argument has its own flaws. First, the company's current 30% revenue growth rate (YoY) is impressive. The margin expansion is also impressive but faces natural limitations. Palantir has successfully transitioned from being a cash burning growth company to achieving a net income margin of nearly 20%, with free cash flow margins expanding to 60% from 25% a year ago. However, maintaining this pace of improvement will become increasingly difficult as the company scales.Competition in the commercial space poses another significant challenge to Palantir's premium valuation. While the company's government relationships provide a strong moat for that segment of the business, the commercial space is highly competitive. Palantir faces formidable competition from established players like IBM, CrowdStrike (CRWD), SentinelOne (S), Oracle (ORCL) and Microsoft (MSFT) with deep pockets and strong AI capabilities.My price target for (PLTR), incorporating both growth prospects and market conditions, points to a fair value estimate of $38.50 per share. This target reflects a comprehensive assessment of Palantir's growth trajectory and earnings potential, while acknowledging the premium multiply the market has historically awarded to the company.Using a growth adjusted valuation framework, Wall Street's median price target of $28 per share appears plausible, implying a potential downside of 47% from current levels. Even if we use more optimistic assumptions - a 25% annual EPS growth rate and a premium forward P/E multiple of 55x - my analysis suggests a fair value of $38.50.What makes this valuation situation particularly precarious is the high concentration of retail investors in Palantir's shareholder base, with approximately 50% of shares held by retail investors. This ownership structure could amplify volatility in both directions, potentially leading to rapid multiple compression if market sentiment shifts or if the company faces any execution challenges in maintaining its current growth trajectory.My methodology behind this price target, I projected Palantir's earnings growth over the next three years, factoring in the company's improving profitability metrics and market expansion opportunities. l assume a 25% annual EPS growth rate through 2027, which is aggressive but also aligns with the company's transition from a growth-at-all-costs model to one focused on profitability. This growth rate factors in Wall Street's expectations for the AI platform market, which IDC estimates will grow at 41% annually through 2028, but Palantir's scale will make maintaining hypergrowth increasingly challenging.Applying this growth rate to current earnings projections yields an estimated FY 2027 EPS of $0.70 per share. The target multiple of 55x forward earnings, while rich by broad market standards but because of Palantir's historical premium position within the enterprise software sector. Even this generous multiple represents a significant compression from current levels.The downside risk scenario deserves particular attention, especially given current market conditions. In a broader market downturn or during periods of multiple compression, Palantir's stock could face substantially more pressure than my base case. During market stress periods, high multiple software stocks often see their valuations compress to levels that would imply a price below $20 per share for Palantir. This risk is amplified by the company's shareholder composition, as I mentioned earlier 50% of shares held by retail investors potentially leading to more volatile trading during market distress.Insider SalesThe recent pattern of insider selling at Palantir is a significant red flag that investors cannot afford to ignore. According to Jefferies' analysis,Palantir's CEO having sold more than $1.2 billion of stock in the past three months, representing approximately 14% of his stake.TrendSpiderWhile it's common for executives to maintain pre-planned selling programs through 10b5-1 plans, both the magnitude and timing of these sales warrant careful scrutiny. The uptick in insider sales becomes particularly noteworthy when viewed against the backdrop of Palantir's broader risk/reward profile, which has shifted dramatically following the stock's 687% surge from its May 2023 lows.Looking at near term catalysts, Palantir faces several challenges that could trigger multiple compression. The company's government business, while strong at 40% YoY growth, may face growth constraints due to budget limitations. As noted in their recent 10-Q filing, Palantir acknowledges thatUntil recent quarters, we had a history of incurring net losses, and we anticipate our operating expenses will continue to increase and we may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability in the future - PLTR Q3 10-Q FilingThis caution from management stands in stark contrast to the market's current optimistic pricing. While Palantir's AIP platform shows promise, the commercial market's higher churn risk and more competitive dynamics could pressure growth rates. These risk factors, combined with the current valuation premiums and accelerating insider sales, create an asymmetric risk/reward profile that tilts heavily toward risk at current price levels. While the stock could certainly continue its momentum-driven rally in the near term, the fundamental support for current valuations appears increasingly tenuous, suggesting investors should seriously consider taking profits and reducing exposure to more reasonable levels.Time to Take ProfitsWhile I am impressed by Palantir's execution and long-term potential, the risk/reward profile at current levels is simply unattractive. The combination of:Extreme valuation premiums across all metricsIncreasing insider salesHigh retail investor concentration (about 50% of float)Creates a potentially volatile situation where any slight disappointment could trigger significant multiple compression.For investors sitting on substantial gains, I believe now is an opportune time to at least trim positions and lock in profits. The stock's momentum could certainly continue in the near term, but the downside risks now outweigh the potential for further upside. In my view, waiting for a better entry point would be the prudent strategy for those looking to initiate or add to positions.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":0,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":366002927792360,"gmtCreate":1730356856628,"gmtModify":1730356861177,"author":{"id":"3562193648411471","authorId":"3562193648411471","name":"Coldastone17","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/4f1bd3166de45ed68ce52aacd1ca37f1","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3562193648411471","authorIdStr":"3562193648411471"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"She dump..we buy.

In contrast, bears point out potential revenue deceleration, particularly as Palantir's stock trades at 29x its estimated 2025 revenue, making it one of the most expensive stocks in the S&P 500.</p><h2 id=\"id_4120428033\">Palantir's Business Keeps Benefiting From AI Integration</h2><p>As a first step, let's take a look at Palantir's business, given the business is relatively complex and much of its software's details are undisclosed due to the secrecy of dealing with government.</p><p>In fact, 60% of Palantir's revenue comes from government agencies, whereas the remaining 40% comes from the commercial sector, an area where the company aims to expand its operations further to drive growth.</p><p>Palantir's core business is based on three main segments:</p><ul style=\"\"><li><p><strong>Gotham</strong>: Designed for government and defense agencies, providing intelligence and data analysis tools for national security.</p></li><li><p><strong>Foundry</strong>: A data integration and analytics platform that helps manage, analyze, and visualize data.

Like most other software businesses, it generates revenue via licensing, charging subscription, or usage-based fees for its Gotham and Foundry platforms. In addition to licenses, the company offers consulting services, helping clients implement and optimize the software to address their custom requirements.</p><p>The business model is based on a three-phase approach: Acquire, Expand and Scale its business. In the acquisition phase, Palantir targets new customers by offering initial implementations at a very low cost or no cost at all.

Revenue rose 27% to $678M, beating analysts' estimates of $0.08 per share and $653M in revenue.</p><p>Both the government and commercial businesses performed very well during the quarter. The government business generated $371M in revenue, up 23% from the analyst's estimates of $349M. Its commercial business has delivered even better performance, with 33% revenue growth and revenue at $307M, ahead of the forecast by $1M.</p><p>Commercial revenue was significantly helped by a substantial 55% growth in US Commercial revenue, which reached $159M.</p><p>Palantir's future depends on its success in growing its commercial segment, which is gaining momentum as the company strengthens its expansion into financial, healthcare, and energy, moving away from a government-dependent revenue structure.</p><p>Even though government-based contracts are more guaranteed and less cyclical, most of the money is to be made in the commercial segment.</p><p>In fact, CEO Alex Karp, in a letter to shareholders, highlighted that Palantir's US commercial customer base increased 83% year over year, from 161 customers in Q2 2023 to 295 as of Q2 2024, now making up half of the company's total customer base.</p><h2 id=\"id_3456821639\">Top & Bottom-Line Growth Do Not Disappoint</h2><p>Looking forward, Palantir appears to be on a solid footing to continue delivering, with the firm's billing and remaining performance obligations (“RPO”) increasing 19% and 42% YoY, respectively.</p><p>These two metrics serve for us as evidence of the strong demand for the underlying Palantir's software solutions. This is particularly as Palantir is facing higher demand than it can immediately serve, with customers very likely to stick around given Palantir's software's high switching costs.</p><p>Thanks to the strong demand, Palantir's management has raised its outlook for FY24 with estimated 2024 sales of $2.75B and $970M in operating income, an increase from the previous expectations of $2.68B of revenue and $874M of operating income.</p><p>Compared to full-FY23 revenue of $2.23B, this would represent a revenue growth of 23.3% with operating income expected to expand as much as 8x.</p><p>Nonetheless, given the strong tailwinds the business is experiencing, particularly in the US commercial segment, I expect the company to beat even its revised guidance by the end of this year.

This finally opened the door for institutional investors, mutual funds, and analysts to purchase the stock and increase the coverage, with the stock set to benefit from higher popularity and demand.The data analytics software company has been red-hot this year, with its value increasing 2.86x from $15/share a year ago to $43/share today.PriceOn a year-to-date basis, Palantir's stock is up 153% alone and ranks third among the best-performing stocks in the S&P 500:Vistra Corp. (VST): 225.3% YTD ReturnNVIDIA Corp. (NVDA): 172.2% YTD ReturnPalantir Technologies: 153.4% YTD Return.Although this is my first coverage of the stock on Seeking Alpha, I've followed Palantir since its IPO in 2020. Even though I currently do not have any exposure to the stock, I am keeping a close eye on the company, hoping to add its shares to a portfolio on a weakness, around $20-25/share.With Palantir's stock on fire this year and its Q3 earnings just around the corner on November 4, let's take a closer look at whether it's still a good buy heading into the earnings. Bulls generally argue Palantir's improving profitability could drive more gains in the stock price. In contrast, bears point out potential revenue deceleration, particularly as Palantir's stock trades at 29x its estimated 2025 revenue, making it one of the most expensive stocks in the S&P 500.Palantir's Business Keeps Benefiting From AI IntegrationAs a first step, let's take a look at Palantir's business, given the business is relatively complex and much of its software's details are undisclosed due to the secrecy of dealing with government.In fact, 60% of Palantir's revenue comes from government agencies, whereas the remaining 40% comes from the commercial sector, an area where the company aims to expand its operations further to drive growth.Palantir's core business is based on three main segments:Gotham: Designed for government and defense agencies, providing intelligence and data analysis tools for national security.Foundry: A data integration and analytics platform that helps manage, analyze, and visualize data. Commercial clients generally use Foundry across a wide range of industries.Apollo: A scalable platform for developers to build customer applications on top of Palantir's software.Palantir generates revenue through two main avenues. Like most other software businesses, it generates revenue via licensing, charging subscription, or usage-based fees for its Gotham and Foundry platforms. In addition to licenses, the company offers consulting services, helping clients implement and optimize the software to address their custom requirements.The business model is based on a three-phase approach: Acquire, Expand and Scale its business. In the acquisition phase, Palantir targets new customers by offering initial implementations at a very low cost or no cost at all. During the second phase, Palantir aims to hook the customer by addressing the customer's specific pain points. In the last phase, Palantir fully implements and configures solutions, allowing customers to create a symbiotic environment by adding their own software atop Palantir's platform.Like most other software businesses, Palantir has been introducing AI into its product mix via the Artificial Intelligence Platform (“AIP”) in the last quarters, harnessing the power of large language models (“LLM”) for decision-making.The first few used cases for Palantir are the integration of AI for its government customers, particularly aimed at intelligence gathering, counterterrorism, and military operations. However, the company is now aiming to leverage generative AI to drive growth in the commercial part of its business.In my view, Palantir might be one of the key potential beneficiaries of generative AI. Its core strength lies in its ability to integrate and analyze large volumes of data to train models and decision-making, aligning perfectly with AI's need for high-quality, well-structured data for efficient model training.To showcase a few successes, Palantir announced the extension of the government contract Maven Smart System for an additional five years. Palantir was an early contractor for the project launched in 2017, which aimed to bring AI to the battlefield. The estimated contract value is for it to be worth around $90M annually, or roughly 3.6% of Palantir's trailing-twelve-month revenue.Likewise, Palantir was awarded a Department of Defense contract through the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office valued at up to $480M over the next five years and a $178M contract for project TITAN, a battlefield AI system.From what we can see so far, Palantir's AI strategy is paying off, as it has won over major defense contracts. However, the key to unlocking future growth will be a successful execution in the more significant commercial segment.We can see a few of such successes with customers such as Aramark, Mount Sinai, and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. These showcase how Palantir's AI has helped to improve supply chain management, operational efficiency, and patient care in healthcare, as presented during the AIPCon 5 back in September.Yet, more will need to come to justify its ballooning valuation.Commercial Segment Gaining MomentumAs we are just three weeks away from Palantir reporting its Q3 2024 earnings, let's just briefly look under the hood of Q2.In the second-quarter earnings report, Palantir exceeded Wall Street expectations on both the top and bottom lines and issued better-than-expected Q3 guidance, with the strong performance responsible for the red-hot year-to-date price performance.For Q2, Palantir reported GAAP earnings of $0.09/share, roughly an 80% YoY increase. Revenue rose 27% to $678M, beating analysts' estimates of $0.08 per share and $653M in revenue.Both the government and commercial businesses performed very well during the quarter. The government business generated $371M in revenue, up 23% from the analyst's estimates of $349M. Its commercial business has delivered even better performance, with 33% revenue growth and revenue at $307M, ahead of the forecast by $1M.Commercial revenue was significantly helped by a substantial 55% growth in US Commercial revenue, which reached $159M.Palantir's future depends on its success in growing its commercial segment, which is gaining momentum as the company strengthens its expansion into financial, healthcare, and energy, moving away from a government-dependent revenue structure.Even though government-based contracts are more guaranteed and less cyclical, most of the money is to be made in the commercial segment.In fact, CEO Alex Karp, in a letter to shareholders, highlighted that Palantir's US commercial customer base increased 83% year over year, from 161 customers in Q2 2023 to 295 as of Q2 2024, now making up half of the company's total customer base.Top & Bottom-Line Growth Do Not DisappointLooking forward, Palantir appears to be on a solid footing to continue delivering, with the firm's billing and remaining performance obligations (“RPO”) increasing 19% and 42% YoY, respectively.These two metrics serve for us as evidence of the strong demand for the underlying Palantir's software solutions. This is particularly as Palantir is facing higher demand than it can immediately serve, with customers very likely to stick around given Palantir's software's high switching costs.Thanks to the strong demand, Palantir's management has raised its outlook for FY24 with estimated 2024 sales of $2.75B and $970M in operating income, an increase from the previous expectations of $2.68B of revenue and $874M of operating income.Compared to full-FY23 revenue of $2.23B, this would represent a revenue growth of 23.3% with operating income expected to expand as much as 8x.Nonetheless, given the strong tailwinds the business is experiencing, particularly in the US commercial segment, I expect the company to beat even its revised guidance by the end of this year. I further expect another 20-23% annual revenue growth on tap in the subsequent years.Revenue Growth ExpectationsEven as many growth companies prioritize revenue growth, leaving profitability in the back seat or straight out failing to convert revenue into earnings, that's undoubtedly not Palantir's case.From what we can see below, Palantir's business became profitable on the operating level only in 2023, but operating income has continuously expanded, driven by higher revenue and margins.Revenue & Operating IncomePalantir's operating margins have been continuously improving. Thanks to the attractive unit economics the business can generate from the existing user base by upselling new products, I see margin expansion as the likely path for the company as it grows.Operating MarginValuation Might Act As An Anchor On Future ReturnsThe issue with Palantir's business is not the business itself, but the valuation—an issue we face as investors with most other high-quality companies.Let's first take a look at Palantir's Price-to-Sales valuation:Palantir's management expects the FY24 sales to land at $2.75B, which would imply a P/S ratio of 35x, given the $97B market cap.Analysts are expecting forward FY25 sales to land at $3.32B, a YoY growth of 22%, implying a 14-month forward P/S valuation of 29x.Now, the rich valuation, even for large-cap stock such as Palantir, would be justifiable if the company exhibited massive EPS expansion over the coming years.As per FactSet, analysts are forecasting Palantir's EPS to grow at the following rate:FY24 EPS: $0.35E, YoY growth: 42%FY25 EPS: $0.42E, YoY growth: 19%FY26 EPS: $0.51E, YoY growth: 21%.The growth we see above indeed categorizes Palantir's stock as a genuine growth company. Still, the 20% EPS growth expectations beyond FY24 are, from my perspective, not enough to justify the exuberant valuation the stock carries.Let's look at the following scenarios. How much does Palantir's bottom-line need to expand for the remainder of the decade to justify buying the shares at today's prices?In Scenario 1, if we assume the projected FY24, FY25, and FY26 growth materializes as expected by the analysts and the company grows its EPS at 30% annually for the remainder of the decade, Palantir would need to trade at least at 40x its P/E by the end of 2029 to just break-even on your money or negative real return, if adjusted per inflation.Scenario 1Given the non-existent margin of safety and uncertain future growth, I would aim for at least 20% ROR to justify buying Palantir's shares at today's valuation. If we stick to the same growth assumptions as above, Palantir's shares would need to trade at 100x its earnings by the end of 2029 if I required the stock to deliver at 20% annualized ROR.I am not saying Scenario 2 is impossible to materialize, but hoping for a 100x P/E valuation in 5.5 years is inherently uncertain and risky, and I do not like to bet allocate my heard-earned cash into uncertain promises.Scenario 2Naturally, it's possible that Palantir will beat expectations and grow its bottom line much quicker than expected. In Scenario 3, I am assuming 40% EPS growth between today and the end of 2029, a truly hyper-scaler if this growth materializes. However, even in that case, we would need to see the stock trading at around 50x its earnings if we aimed to achieve at least 16% annualized ROR.Scenario 3This indicates that it is critical to consider the perspective from which we examine Palantir's growth and valuation before making an investment decision.Forecasting Palantir's future growth is inherently uncertain, given its relatively short life as a public company.That's perhaps one reason why analysts' opinions on a short-term price target differ widely. However, the average price target is $27.7/share, implying a more than 30% downside from today's share price.Price TargetInvestor's TakeawayI believe Palantir is well-positioned for long-term success in the software industry, particularly in establishing itself as a leader in AI platforms. Its access to enterprise data is an excellent start for efficient AI data model learning, eventually building a competitive advantage.The company is helping government and commercial companies worldwide convert data into decisions, and Palantir is set to materially benefit from organizations' thirst for data-driven decision-making.I also expect Palantir's consumer footprint to materially increase over the coming years while the business benefits from unit economics, upselling its new product offerings to existing customers and improving profitability.Nevertheless, investors should be cautious about Palantir's valuation. The sky-high expectations are exposing investors to significant risks of permanent capital loss if the growth does not pan out as expected.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":57,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":359741992915064,"gmtCreate":1728868168673,"gmtModify":1728868172608,"author":{"id":"3562193648411471","authorId":"3562193648411471","name":"Coldastone17","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/4f1bd3166de45ed68ce52aacd1ca37f1","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3562193648411471","authorIdStr":"3562193648411471"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Why Hold when this stock is blooming?

The price fell through 2022 and 2023, going below $7. The excitement for the stock died down.</p> <p>In 2021, I recall that many of PLTR's fans were just as convinced that the company would change the world, prior to all this talk of AI.

Additionally, the company has begun repurchasing shares, a first in its public history, and the stock gains over the course of the year may be influenced by that.</p> <p>As the valuation is getting into their higher ranges, one has to consider what could happen if those buybacks were to abate. I worry that this could result in depreciation, for which some investors may not be prepared.</p> <h2>Mitigating Factors</h2> <p>Having said that, there's a lot going well for this company, a lot of value-creation, that is likely to support my high-growth assumptions going forward. I technically mentioned some in reviewing Q2 results, but I want to highlight an announcement they made, a new product offering called Warp Speed. I'll quote Chief Technology Officer Shyam Sankar from the Q2 earnings call:</p> <blockquote><p>...we conceive of it as an operating system for the modern American manufacturer. It touches not just ERP, but also MES, PLM, PLCs, it's interacting with the factory floor. We think there's an opportunity to reimagine this. I think the kind of congenital defect for most of this software, it was designed historically in the 70s for the CFO. Why would you do that? If you're starting over today, you would build software that was designed for the Head of Production...if you go to new manufacturers, the ones that are powering the reindustrialization of the country, they all know this. They're all alumni of the Tesla, SpaceX world where they built their own systems from scratch, principally because the other stuff doesn't work at all.</p></blockquote> <p>As they elaborated further throughout the call, Palantir believes it's positioned not only to provide better data analytics to its customers to improve operations; they believe entirely new software is needed. They believe the standard OS is used by several of the same companies, often with tremendous inefficiencies. Industrial capacity improves when the software fits the nature of the operations (a nature that Palantir's data analytics have unlocked for many customers).</p> <p>It's difficult to imagine the potential here, but if they can sell customers on the idea of it, I suspect it would cause my growth assumptions, which are already quite large, to increase significantly. If a company's operations can be fundamentally reimagined, the value of those contracts would likely be in the cards.</p> <p><figure contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2024/10/10/59452134-17286062061788769.png\"/></span><figcaption><p><span>Q2 2024 Form 10Q</span></p></figcaption></figure></p> <p>To add to that, Palantir maintains an incredibly healthy balance sheet, with about $4B in cash and marketable securities and no debt. This sucker ain't going bankrupt.</p> <p><figure contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2024/10/10/59452134-1728606312297726.png\"/></span><figcaption><p>Revenue Breakdown <span>(Q2 2024 Form 10Q)</span></p></figcaption></figure></p> <p>As government contracts still make up a majority of revenues, this also protects against the downside of Palantir's future cash flows. Government contracts are less constrained by macroeconomic woes, and as trust is an important factor (many of these contracts pertain to military defense), I expect Palantir is unlikely to have competitors who enjoy a similarly healthy relationship.</p> <p>So in spite of the risks I mentioned, total loss doesn't appear to be among them.</p> <h2>Conclusion</h2> <p>Palantir continues to grow and stay one step ahead with innovation. It keeps growing each quarter and setting new records. The Warp Speed announcement is an exciting one, and it's not surprising the share price is up afterward.</p> <p>The long-term returns are what matter, however. A significant amount of share-based compensation continues to occur, threatening high levels of dilution as stock options are exercised in the future. Similarly, the company has recently started repurchasing shares, and a period where they see fit to cease this could be met with a major correction in price.</p> <div></div> <p>Palantir can still give positive returns over time, but it's becoming much more a game of risk management. As I would like a better price to accomplish this, I maintain my Hold rating.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Palantir's Higher Price Raises Risks</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nPalantir's Higher Price Raises Risks\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2024-10-12 04:19 GMT+8 <a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4726286-palantirs-higher-price-raises-risks><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Palantir's Q2 results show impressive 27% YoY revenue growth, driven by AI boom and accelerated sales through AIP Bootcamps.Despite strong financials, stock-based compensation poses dilution risks, ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4726286-palantirs-higher-price-raises-risks\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"https://static.seekingalpha.com/cdn/s3/uploads/getty_images/1253986380/image_1253986380.jpg","relate_stocks":{"BK4023":"应用软件","LU1861558580.USD":"日兴方舟颠覆性创新基金B","LU1861559042.SGD":"日兴方舟颠覆性创新基金B SGD","PLTR":"Palantir Technologies Inc.","BK4543":"AI","BK4547":"WSB热门概念","BK4585":"ETF&股票定投概念","BK4588":"碎股"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4726286-palantirs-higher-price-raises-risks","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"2474181079","content_text":"Palantir's Q2 results show impressive 27% YoY revenue growth, driven by AI boom and accelerated sales through AIP Bootcamps.Despite strong financials, stock-based compensation poses dilution risks, and share repurchases may not sustain current stock price levels.New product Warp Speed aims to revolutionize customer software, potentially boosting growth assumptions.With this mixture of positives and negatives, I maintain my Hold rating until a better price cancels out the risky aspects. Klaus Vedfelt Palantir (NYSE:PLTR) is a stock I've twice covered. First I rated it a Sell, skeptical of what, I thought, was a nebulous AI-driven thesis and a lack of profitable history. Later, I re-rated it to a Hold, concluding the following: Palantir is an amazing company with red carpets rolling themselves out for it, as LLMs have unlocked the vast potential of their product, well ahead of almost anybody else. Since then, the price of PLTR is up more than 70%. PLTR Price Changes (Seeking Alpha) Q2 2024 results have also come out, so it's worth another check-up, to see how favorable the risk and reward are for an investment in PLTR. I maintain my Hold rating, but I do so from a place of greater caution, which I'll explain below. Q2 Results The second quarter continued to show growth in the wake of the AI boom, of which Palantir has been one of the clearest beneficiaries. Q2 2024 Company Presentation Revenue across the board grew 7% over the last quarter and 27% over the last year, an impressive result. Q2 2024 Company Presentation The growth is supported by the continued benefit of the AIP Bootcamps, a newer sales experience that has greatly accelerated the sales process by allowing customers to see, more immediately, the material possibilities of Palantir's software. The timeline of the sales process has thus decreased from being many months down to, in some cases, days. Cash Flow Statement (Q2 2024 Form 10Q) Looking at the cash flow statement, operating cash flows are about equal to the same period last year. One might wonder if Palantir's cash generation should look like this with so much revenue growth, but it's worth noting that significantly more Accounts Receivable have been booked. I trust that we will see most of this difference realized as cash generated within the near future. Altogether, growth is strong, and the company is in great financial shape. Valuation and Risks In my previous article, I gave a range of valuations to illustrate the possibilities for a fair value at a 10% discount rate (typical return of the market). Author's calculation The above was based on the free cash flow per share, calculated based on 2023's total FCF, divided by the number of shares outstanding. The growth rates reflected the potential from the double-digit revenue growth that Palantir is currently experiencing. Author's calculation For the lower range, I offered a decreased CAGR of FCF of 5% for both halves of the decade, in light of the high levels of stock-based compensation (more on that later). Based on the updates from Q2, I don't see any compelling need to update the calculation, so I will let this stand. Author's calculation If one wants a fair price for something closer to a 7% return, then all they would need to do is modify the discount rate accordingly. Doing so gets us much closer to the current price. Again, this means the risk of accepting a lower return if one buys today. PLTR Price History (Seeking Alpha) Shortly after the PLTR IPO, there was the 2021 bull market that peaked at $39 per share and a market cap of $67.94B. The price fell through 2022 and 2023, going below $7. The excitement for the stock died down.

This is the risk posed by the stock-based compensation that I mentioned earlier. Cash Flow Statement (Q2 2024 Company Presentation) If we look at the cash flow statement again (this time focusing on stock-based compensation), we see that the value of it is similar to the level of operating cash flows for the period. Cash Flow Statement (Q2 2024 Form 10Q) Notice also that the exercise of these stock options occurs, and I believe they will likely continue into the future.

As they elaborated further throughout the call, Palantir believes it's positioned not only to provide better data analytics to its customers to improve operations; they believe entirely new software is needed. They believe the standard OS is used by several of the same companies, often with tremendous inefficiencies. Industrial capacity improves when the software fits the nature of the operations (a nature that Palantir's data analytics have unlocked for many customers). It's difficult to imagine the potential here, but if they can sell customers on the idea of it, I suspect it would cause my growth assumptions, which are already quite large, to increase significantly. If a company's operations can be fundamentally reimagined, the value of those contracts would likely be in the cards. Q2 2024 Form 10Q To add to that, Palantir maintains an incredibly healthy balance sheet, with about $4B in cash and marketable securities and no debt. This sucker ain't going bankrupt. Revenue Breakdown (Q2 2024 Form 10Q) As government contracts still make up a majority of revenues, this also protects against the downside of Palantir's future cash flows. Government contracts are less constrained by macroeconomic woes, and as trust is an important factor (many of these contracts pertain to military defense), I expect Palantir is unlikely to have competitors who enjoy a similarly healthy relationship. So in spite of the risks I mentioned, total loss doesn't appear to be among them. Conclusion Palantir continues to grow and stay one step ahead with innovation. It keeps growing each quarter and setting new records. The Warp Speed announcement is an exciting one, and it's not surprising the share price is up afterward. The long-term returns are what matter, however. A significant amount of share-based compensation continues to occur, threatening high levels of dilution as stock options are exercised in the future. Similarly, the company has recently started repurchasing shares, and a period where they see fit to cease this could be met with a major correction in price. Palantir can still give positive returns over time, but it's becoming much more a game of risk management. As I would like a better price to accomplish this, I maintain my Hold rating.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":15,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":358112358486256,"gmtCreate":1728450180500,"gmtModify":1728450184906,"author":{"id":"3562193648411471","authorId":"3562193648411471","name":"Coldastone17","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/4f1bd3166de45ed68ce52aacd1ca37f1","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3562193648411471","authorIdStr":"3562193648411471"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"So this is how analysts create such reports for shorts? dont be fooled","listText":"So this is how analysts create such reports for shorts? dont be fooled","text":"So this is how analysts create such reports for shorts? dont be fooled","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/358112358486256","repostId":"1121241119","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1121241119","pubTimestamp":1728446400,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1121241119?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2024-10-09 12:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Will Palantir Stock Hit the $50 Mark?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1121241119","media":"Barchart","summary":"Palantir has been one of the best-performing large-cap stocks in 2024, registering astellar gain of about 141.1% year-to-date, far exceeding the S&P 500 Index's gain of 20.6%.

Let’s explore why. </p><h3 id=\"id_848876551\" style=\"text-align: start;\">Palantir’s Solid Growth Could Boost Stock</h3><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Palantir has been firing on all cylinders with solid momentum in its U.S. commercial and government businesses. With stellar sales growth and strong unit economics, which are expanding its operating margin, Palantir stock could rise further. </p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">In the second quarter of 2024, the company’s top line jumped 27% year-over-year and 7% sequentially. What stands out is that Palantir’s revenue growth has been accelerating steadily over the past several quarters, driven by the increasing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in the enterprise software market. Further, the company delivered this tremendous top-line growth while expanding its adjusted operating margin to 37%, highlighting its solid underlying unit economics.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">A key contributor to this growth is Palantir’s AIP, which has been instrumental in securing large contracts. In Q2 2024 alone, the company landed 27 deals valued at $10 million or more, resulting in a total contract value (TCV) of nearly $1 billion. Notably, a significant portion of these contracts are from existing customers, which shows its ability to drive customer retention and higher average revenue per customer. </p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Customer numbers also continue to grow. Palantir’s customer base increased by 41% year-over-year, reaching 593 by the end of the second quarter. Revenue from its top 20 customers grew 9% from the previous year, generating an average of $57 million per customer.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">By segments, the U.S. commercial business has been a significant driver of Palantir’s growth. In Q2 2024, the company’s U.S. commercial revenue soared by 33% compared to last year's quarter. Additionally, this segment's annual contract value (ACV) grew by 44% year-over-year. The high demand for Palantir’s AIP solutions from new and existing clients sets the stage for future growth.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Palantir’s government segment is also thriving. Government-related revenue increased by 23% year-over-year and 11% sequentially. The rising demand for Palantir’s government software offerings suggests further growth potential in this area.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Overall, Palantir’s solid momentum across its U.S. commercial and government segments, strong unit economics, higher adoption of AIP, and notable increases in contract value and customer count will likely support the uptrend in the stock.</p><h3 id=\"id_21246882\" style=\"text-align: start;\">Palantir’s Key Metrics Remain Strong </h3><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Palantir is demonstrating solid growth, with key performance indicators pointing to continued strength. By the end of Q2 2024, the company’s total remaining deal value reached $4.3 billion, a 26% increase year-over-year. Moreover, its remaining performance obligations, an indicator of future revenue, surged by 41% to $1.4 billion.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Palantir’s net dollar retention rate also improved by 300 basis points to 114%, highlighting its ability to maintain revenue from existing customers.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Looking ahead, Palantir's focus on AI and the growing AI-driven enterprise market presents significant growth opportunities. The recent launch of Warp Speed, a modern manufacturing operating system, is expected to further accelerate its growth.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">With strong operating metrics, a growing customer base, and new product launches, Palantir is well-positioned to deliver solid growth in the upcoming quarters.</p><h3 id=\"id_3158193439\" style=\"text-align: start;\">Can PLTR Stock Hit $50 Per Share?</h3><p style=\"text-align: start;\">PLTR’s performance in 2024 has been impressive, and the company shows no signs of slowing down.

Palantir was the 10th highest-ranked company. The ranking was based on specialized metrics used by venture capitalists. This article’s goal is to concurrently convince you that Palantir is a great company but a terrible stock.</p><h2 id=\"id_56834654\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Introduction</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Palantir (NYSE:PLTR) is an AI optimized company that helps organizations collect, normalize and utilize all forms of data so that organizations can make decisions. The company operates under two platforms: Gotham (for governments) and Foundry (for businesses) and more recently introduced Apollo which is a system that manages both Gotham and Foundry. Palantir was named after the mystical seeing stones in Lord of the Rings.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Given the controversies over Palantir’s business and its stock’s valuation, I was both intrigued and motivated to look into this. I rarely give “Sell” recommendations except when I see clear-cut accounting or business model issues. Palantir would be the exception!</p><h2 id=\"id_2970024773\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Does Palantir have the attributes of a premium-valued company?</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">I’ll cut to the chase and say a “clear YES.” Palantir has several of these highly valued metrics, both qualitative and quantitative. <strong>Quantitatively</strong> they include:</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Access to a large and growing TAM (see Business Position section below) Strong Net Retention Rate (114% in 2Q’24, +400bps y/y) High gross margins and strong Unit Economics A history of earnings “beats & raises” High and growing Rule of 40 (Revenue growth + FCF Margin)</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/64292e93129a51dcf5e39b2964dbd414\" alt=\"Rule of 40\" title=\"Rule of 40\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"295\"/><span>Rule of 40</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Qualitatively</strong> premium companies have a:</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Compelling Narrative and Mission Statement Strong business position and high entry barriers Unique service and clear value proposition High Net Promotor Scores (NPS) albeit Palantir’s 33 isn’t the highest. Diversifying customer-base Manageable risks Visionary leadership.</p><h2 id=\"id_2205772897\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Recent financial performance</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Several SA contributors (such as The Techie) did a superb job at analyzing Palantir’s recent earnings results, so I won’t repeat them here. The TLDR is that 2Q’24’s earnings were great – represented by a bottom & top-line “beat & raise.” In fact, revenue growth is accelerating (see chart below).</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/556d1910e41b4b5686ee21aacafd12b6\" alt=\"Growth\" title=\"Growth\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"342\"/><span>Growth</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The Commercial business segment, which was introduced subsequent to Palantir’s government business, started gaining momentum in late 2023 and demonstrates continued expansion and diversification (see Table).</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/01bf04273ebe82caddea7ff7103dc00b\" alt=\"growth of govt vs business\" title=\"growth of govt vs business\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"236\"/><span>growth of govt vs business</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><h2 id=\"id_4274965912\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Business position and TAM</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Palantir has a strong business position (up and to the right) as measured by Forrester’s Wave for AI and Machine Learning. Palantir estimated (in its S-1 filing) its TAM to be huge at$120BN. However, that estimate was previous to ChatGPT. Now, analysts such as Wedbush’s Dan Ives think its TAM could hit$1 trillion. This is an even larger opportunity-set (meaning Palantir’s revenue scale vs its TAM) than Nvidia’s (NVDA)!</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/1b353ea026bd9a46752960b44d03afb5\" alt=\"Forrester Wave\" title=\"Forrester Wave\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"634\"/><span>Forrester Wave</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><h2 id=\"id_740308643\" style=\"text-align: left;\">The many controversies of Karp</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">When I analyze companies and founders, I always seek out opposing opinions to test my thesis. Palantir is “perfect on paper” however, there is circumstantial and anecdotal information that worries me. Palantir and Karp remind me of Tesla (TSLA) and Musk: two highly controversial figures surrounded by controversies. Without one, there isn’t the other.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Alex Karp has never shied away from controversy. He is extremely pro-American and has picked winners & losers in the geopolitical chess game. These aren’t opinions without consequences - Palantir has provided AI and data analytics services to the U.S. intelligence agencies and military. Palantir has also been criticized for helping ICE (Immigration and Custom Enforcement) deport immigrants. Given the “black box” nature of Palantir’s business, it is not known if privacy and human rights are being violated.</p><h2 id=\"id_1430941454\" style=\"text-align: left;\">ESG and Glassdoor reviews</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Despite the recent blowback in ESG and socially responsible investing, I consider it a key factor in investing as it helps to authentically align my values with investments. I rely on MSCI’s ESG ratings, of which Palantir is rated “B” Laggard within the software industry (see chart). I not only weigh Glassdoor’s ratings to broadly determine the “Social” factor of companies but to determine quality of management and culture. Palantir’s Glassdoor CEO approval rating is amongst the lowest (65%) that I’ve ever seen within the software space (chart below). Even Morningstar, which rarely has an unkind thing to say about management, stated that it “lacks confidence in the executive team” given that Palantir “recklessly” lost $300MM in SPAC investments, whereby those portfolio companies would be expected to purchase Palantir’s services. Speaking of odd holdings, Palantir had invested $51MM in gold bars in 2021 just in case there was a “Black Swan” event.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/ff09024a6445988f355c059edd4d83b5\" alt=\"ESG rating\" title=\"ESG rating\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"552\"/><span>ESG rating</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/ed69bad5a5a9a8d18349c713a9135861\" alt=\"Glassdoor Ratings\" title=\"Glassdoor Ratings\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"494\"/><span>Glassdoor Ratings</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><h3 id=\"id_4125998872\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Other anecdotal evidence of a top in Palantir’s stock price:</h3><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Parabolic moves in the stock price combined with overhead resistance (see chart) Heavy Insider Selling, especially from the CEO and founders (Peter Thiel and Alex Karp) Concerns from several SA contributors A seasonally weak period for Palantir as well as risk-assets in general (chart) The S&P 500 “Inclusion Curse” The CEO’s continued “shelling” of the company wherever he speaks.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/38089939e23649bf966afd9cf0635e7c\" alt=\"Insider buying selling\" title=\"Insider buying selling\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"282\"/><span>Insider buying selling</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/20e97590ee62b9fc7529915c2c63e09b\" alt=\"stock chart\" title=\"stock chart\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"295\"/><span>stock chart</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><h2 id=\"id_3704377079\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Seasonality</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Besides trendlines, I’m a believer that sentiment and seasonality are proven contributors to a stock’s performance.

It also follows that this underperformance is likely to intensify when the inclusion date is around the S&P 500’s all-time-highs (as is the case now).

The company’s “perfect on paper” with strong metrics, rapid revenue growth, rising margins and huge TAM.Qualitatively, Palantir has a huge moat, compelling narrative and clear mission-statement.The “black box” nature of the company’s services and its controversial CEO give me pause.Valuation measures are off-the-charts overvalued and its entry into the S&P 500 could be viewed as the “Inclusion Curse”.ThesisA few months back, I published an SA article entitled Screening for the Best SaaS Companies, in which I screened for the best SaaS companies out of a pool of 84 names. Palantir was the 10th highest-ranked company. The ranking was based on specialized metrics used by venture capitalists. This article’s goal is to concurrently convince you that Palantir is a great company but a terrible stock.IntroductionPalantir (NYSE:PLTR) is an AI optimized company that helps organizations collect, normalize and utilize all forms of data so that organizations can make decisions. The company operates under two platforms: Gotham (for governments) and Foundry (for businesses) and more recently introduced Apollo which is a system that manages both Gotham and Foundry. Palantir was named after the mystical seeing stones in Lord of the Rings.Given the controversies over Palantir’s business and its stock’s valuation, I was both intrigued and motivated to look into this. I rarely give “Sell” recommendations except when I see clear-cut accounting or business model issues. Palantir would be the exception!Does Palantir have the attributes of a premium-valued company?I’ll cut to the chase and say a “clear YES.” Palantir has several of these highly valued metrics, both qualitative and quantitative. Quantitatively they include:Access to a large and growing TAM (see Business Position section below) Strong Net Retention Rate (114% in 2Q’24, +400bps y/y) High gross margins and strong Unit Economics A history of earnings “beats & raises” High and growing Rule of 40 (Revenue growth + FCF Margin)Rule of 40Qualitatively premium companies have a:Compelling Narrative and Mission Statement Strong business position and high entry barriers Unique service and clear value proposition High Net Promotor Scores (NPS) albeit Palantir’s 33 isn’t the highest. Diversifying customer-base Manageable risks Visionary leadership.Recent financial performanceSeveral SA contributors (such as The Techie) did a superb job at analyzing Palantir’s recent earnings results, so I won’t repeat them here. The TLDR is that 2Q’24’s earnings were great – represented by a bottom & top-line “beat & raise.” In fact, revenue growth is accelerating (see chart below).GrowthThe Commercial business segment, which was introduced subsequent to Palantir’s government business, started gaining momentum in late 2023 and demonstrates continued expansion and diversification (see Table).growth of govt vs businessBusiness position and TAMPalantir has a strong business position (up and to the right) as measured by Forrester’s Wave for AI and Machine Learning. Palantir estimated (in its S-1 filing) its TAM to be huge at$120BN. However, that estimate was previous to ChatGPT. Now, analysts such as Wedbush’s Dan Ives think its TAM could hit$1 trillion. This is an even larger opportunity-set (meaning Palantir’s revenue scale vs its TAM) than Nvidia’s (NVDA)!Forrester WaveThe many controversies of KarpWhen I analyze companies and founders, I always seek out opposing opinions to test my thesis. Palantir is “perfect on paper” however, there is circumstantial and anecdotal information that worries me. Palantir and Karp remind me of Tesla (TSLA) and Musk: two highly controversial figures surrounded by controversies. Without one, there isn’t the other.Alex Karp has never shied away from controversy. He is extremely pro-American and has picked winners & losers in the geopolitical chess game. These aren’t opinions without consequences - Palantir has provided AI and data analytics services to the U.S. intelligence agencies and military. Palantir has also been criticized for helping ICE (Immigration and Custom Enforcement) deport immigrants. Given the “black box” nature of Palantir’s business, it is not known if privacy and human rights are being violated.ESG and Glassdoor reviewsDespite the recent blowback in ESG and socially responsible investing, I consider it a key factor in investing as it helps to authentically align my values with investments. I rely on MSCI’s ESG ratings, of which Palantir is rated “B” Laggard within the software industry (see chart). I not only weigh Glassdoor’s ratings to broadly determine the “Social” factor of companies but to determine quality of management and culture. Palantir’s Glassdoor CEO approval rating is amongst the lowest (65%) that I’ve ever seen within the software space (chart below). Even Morningstar, which rarely has an unkind thing to say about management, stated that it “lacks confidence in the executive team” given that Palantir “recklessly” lost $300MM in SPAC investments, whereby those portfolio companies would be expected to purchase Palantir’s services. Speaking of odd holdings, Palantir had invested $51MM in gold bars in 2021 just in case there was a “Black Swan” event.ESG ratingGlassdoor RatingsOther anecdotal evidence of a top in Palantir’s stock price:Parabolic moves in the stock price combined with overhead resistance (see chart) Heavy Insider Selling, especially from the CEO and founders (Peter Thiel and Alex Karp) Concerns from several SA contributors A seasonally weak period for Palantir as well as risk-assets in general (chart) The S&P 500 “Inclusion Curse” The CEO’s continued “shelling” of the company wherever he speaks.Insider buying sellingstock chartSeasonalityBesides trendlines, I’m a believer that sentiment and seasonality are proven contributors to a stock’s performance.

Tesla continues to expand its Supercharging network and plans to deploy more capacity - more than the rest of the industry combined in the US - as well as onboard more OEMS throughout the year, which should "supercharge" growth in future years.</p><p>As you can see, the Tesla continues to expand its footprint in Q2:</p><ul style=\"\"><li><p><strong>Tesla Locations</strong> were up 20% YoY.</p></li><li><p><strong>Mobile Service Fleet</strong> was up 7% YoY.</p></li><li><p><strong>Supercharger Stations</strong> were up 23% YoY.</p></li><li><p><strong>Supercharger Connectors</strong> were up 24% YoY.</p></li></ul><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/e655d23bf599065d622bfc296b42cf93\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"268\"/></p><p>Author's Analysis</p><p></p><p>So while growth has been negative and market share has declined slightly, as seen in the chart below, Tesla has been busy expanding its ecosystem as it prepares for its next stage of growth.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/644c1fc1702966edcbef7a871b0a9ba5\" tg-width=\"595\" tg-height=\"253\"/></p><p>Tesla FY2024 Q2 Quarterly Update Deck</p><p></p><p>Even so, Tesla still maintains the lion's share of the EV market, with a global EV market share of 20% in Q1. In the US alone, Tesla has an EV market share of about 50%.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/390bbd21d3f386455d21a05b0573cd9a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"184\"/></p><p>Counterpoint Research</p><p></p><p>Sure, competition is catching up - that's bound to happen as the EV market matures - and Tesla's market share may continue to fall in the near term. However, being the industry leader in terms of performance, innovation, and ecosystem, I believe Tesla will remain the undisputed king of EVs for the next few decades or so.</p><p>Furthermore, with its strong brand moat, upcoming new product launches, unmatched ecosystem, looming rate cuts, and the world's ongoing transition to full electrification, there's little doubt that Tesla will return to growth mode. It should, therefore, expand its market share, thus solidifying its position as the EV king.</p><h2 id=\"id_3089354549\">Reason #2: Energy Explosion</h2><p>Perhaps, the biggest surprise of the quarter was the explosion in storage deployments, which was 9.4GWh, up a whopping 158% YoY. This is also more than double its previous record of 4.1GWh in Q1.</p><p>As a result, Energy Generation and Storage Revenue surged 100% YoY to just over $3.0B. This is a welcome reacceleration in the energy business after a few quarters of deceleration due to the slowdown in the solar unit.</p><p>I don't think anyone saw this coming - and that's one of the main reasons why the stock rallied before earnings.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/d9335965ac1ada57578c89eeeb382893\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"268\"/></p><p>Author's Analysis</p><p></p><p>Yes, this could be a one-off quarter where several large contracts were lumped in a single quarter - deployments in future quarters will likely fluctuate.</p><p>Regardless, it's a testament to Tesla's unique value proposition, disciplined execution, and unprecedented demand, even in an environment polluted by high inflation and interest rates.</p><p>Imagine how this business would do when the macro situation improves…</p><p>And as CEO Elon Musk mentioned, the energy business is more "demand constrained rather than production constrained," and the company is working hard to ramp up production to meet the demand. For instance, the company is getting ready for the Shanghai Megafactory to start production in Q1 next year, which could double or even triple its output.</p><p>In addition, the CFO echoes Elon's remarks, citing a strong deal pipeline and strong pricing power in the energy business (emphasis added).</p><blockquote><p>So, I mean, we are working with a large set of players in the market and <strong>our</strong> <strong>pipeline is actually pretty long</strong>. And there's actually very -- there's actually long end in terms of where you enter into a contract where delivery started -- starts happening. And so far we have <strong>good pricing leverage</strong>.</p><p>(CFO Vaibhav Taneja - Tesla FY2024 Q2 Earnings Call).</p></blockquote><p>It's also worth mentioning that solar demand should pick up once again when the Fed cuts rates, and combined with the momentum in the storage business, we could see exponential growth in Tesla Energy in the years to come.</p><h2 id=\"id_3391437802\">Reason #3: Solving Autonomy</h2><p>As a whole, Tesla generated $25.5B of Revenue in Q2, up only 2% YoY. Despite the tiny YoY gain, this beat analyst estimates by $760M.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/74243b4d846f198ce6ebf9b40071edbb\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"265\"/></p><p>Author's Analysis</p><p></p><p>Nevertheless, the markets aren't really concerned about Tesla's near-term slowdown. They're more interested in the long-term growth story of the company - more specifically, the narrative that Tesla will one day solve autonomy.</p><p>After all, the markets are forward-looking.</p><p>Having said that, Tesla is on the right track to achieving the impossible.</p><p>Valuable FSD data is flowing in at an exponential rate as more and more Tesla owners opt in for the FSD program following its price reduction. Tesla is also offering free trials to certain customers, which, frankly speaking, is a win-win for both parties - customers get to test FSD at no cost while Tesla gets to collect more data and higher FSD attach rates once the trial ends.</p><p>And as the fleet becomes smarter and as more users spread their experiences through word of mouth, expect "more meaningful FSD monetization," which should boost Automotive Revenue. And let's not forget, that Tesla also intends to license its FSD technology, which is yet another growth catalyst for Tesla.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/fd662b8033e2d2c479d817e50866fce4\" tg-width=\"586\" tg-height=\"290\"/></p><p>Tesla FY2024 Q2 Quarterly Update Deck</p><p></p><p>Once unsupervised (important keyword here) FSD is fully rolled out, Tesla can begin deploying its robotaxi service, which is another long-term Revenue booster. Though it is disappointing that the robotaxi product unveil was delayed by a couple of months, it allows Tesla to further improve the product as well as "to show off a couple of other things."</p><p>Whatever it is, the robotaxi product will be a key growth driver for Tesla given the massive potential of an unmanned, autonomous, transportation service. As mentioned by management (emphasis added), autonomy is "the biggest differentiator for Tesla" - and so far, only Tesla is bold enough to venture into this unchartered water.</p><blockquote><p>The big -- really by far <strong>the biggest differentiator for Tesla is autonomy</strong>. In addition to that, we've scale economies and we're the most efficient electric vehicle producer in the world. So, this, anyway -- while others are pursuing different parts of the AI robotic stack, <strong>we are pursuing all of them</strong>. This allows for better cost control, more scale, quicker time to market, and a superior product, applying not to -- not just to autonomous vehicles, but to autonomous humanoid robots like Optimus.</p><p>(CEO Elon Musk - Tesla FY2024 Q2 Earnings Call).</p></blockquote><p>Speaking of Optimus, management also mentioned that the humanoid robot has begun performing tasks in one of Tesla's factories, and is expected to have several thousands of them by the end of 2025. By 2026, Optimus should be available to outside customers.</p><p>All these projects require heavy AI training and compute. That is why Tesla is investing heavily in its software infrastructure. For one, the company is still working on its supercomputer, Dojo - to hedge against NVIDIA GPU shortages as well as to build an in-house computer that will make Tesla even more vertically integrated.</p><p>In addition, Tesla also plans to invest $5B into Elon's AI startup, xAI, which could speed up Tesla's AI developments and capabilities.</p><p>Whatever it is, solving autonomy is Tesla's next grand mission, which could drive monumental Revenue and earnings growth for decades to come. With all its current investments and developments, Tesla seems to be on the right trajectory and is likely to be the first (and perhaps, only) company to solve full-scale autonomy.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/77d9190d29151d36f13388458f8c7886\" tg-width=\"599\" tg-height=\"304\"/></p><p>Tesla FY2024 Q2 Quarterly Update Deck</p><p></p><h2 id=\"id_1964375565\">Reason #4: Margins Might Have Bottomed</h2><p>In Q2, Tesla produced $4.6B of Gross Profit at an 18.0% Gross Margin, which is down 20bps YoY. However, the Gross Margin expanded 60bps QoQ, signifying a possible reversal after a 2-year downtrend.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/558ef7ef9fe1fa6876e2a7c84e145f0d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"265\"/></p><p>Author's Analysis</p><p></p><p>As expected, Gross Margin expanded sequentially due to the outgrowth of Tesla's non-automotive business. As you can see, Tesla Energy has the highest Gross Margin of 24.6% as of Q2 - its rapid growth relative to the Automotive division means that it will be margin accretive to the entire business. Furthermore, Services and Other Gross Margin also improved sequentially.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/441347cc5a6e556b8d64953800c284b2\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"332\"/></p><p>Author's Analysis</p><p></p><p>As always, the real debate revolves around Tesla's Automotive Gross Margin, which was down 70bps YoY. While margins were flat QoQ, keep in mind that it was largely due to record Regulatory Credit Revenue. Excluding Regulatory Credit Revenue, the Q2 Automotive Gross Margin would have been 14.6%, down from 18.1% last year and 16.4% a quarter ago. Automotive Gross Margin was also negatively affected by the Cybertruck ramp and lower ASPs.</p><p>Yes, not a good look at all.</p><p>However, there are reasons to believe that Automotive Gross Margin might improve from here:</p><ul style=\"\"><li><p>Tesla is ramping up production for its in-house 4680 battery, up 50%+ QoQ, and is testing it with its Cybertrucks. Once fully ramped, we should see cost per vehicle drop meaningfully, thus boosting margins.</p></li><li><p>Again, when the Fed cuts rates, I believe Tesla will gradually increase ASPs, leading to a higher margin per vehicle.</p></li><li><p>Per the CFO, cost per vehicle excluding the impact of Cybertruck actually dropped QoQ, so once the Cybertruck fully ramps, we should see margins improve as well. Management expects the Cybertruck operation to be profitable by the end of the year.</p></li></ul><p>That being said, Q2 Operating Profit was $1.6B at a 6.3% Operating Margin, which improved 80bps QoQ. This included $622M of restructuring charges, so without this one-time charge, the Operating Profit would have been $2.2B and the Operating Margin would have been 8.7%. This is a sign that margins might have bottomed.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/0c885948e4d3fc9f1b87d289d59b6447\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"265\"/></p><p>Author's Analysis</p><p></p><p>Besides, Tesla is still investing for the future (Reason #3) so margins are expected to be volatile. In addition, Tesla is sacrificing margins today - as seen with lower ASPs, competitive financing options, and new product launches - in an attempt to gain as much market share as possible.</p><p>One day, when Tesla is ready to deploy its high-margin products... margins will take off.</p><h2 id=\"id_3786485436\">Reason #5: $30B Cash Hoard</h2><p>Meanwhile, Tesla maintains a strong balance sheet with $30.7B of Cash and Short-term Investments and Total Debt of $12.5B. All in all, Tesla has $18.2B of Net Cash, which increased by $1.2B QoQ.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/7d9197180d7faa73a3c54a6a12c6fab4\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"261\"/></p><p>Author's Analysis</p><p></p><p>The increase was driven by a positive Free Cash Flow of $1.3B, representing a 5% FCF Margin, which is a much-needed improvement QoQ, primarily due to a drop in inventory levels.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/43db5bc0613de54ee9a0b8025c3cd9ff\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"258\"/></p><p>Author's Analysis</p><p></p><p>But here's the chart that sets Tesla apart from legacy automakers. As you can see, Tesla has just $7.4B of Long-term Debt while peers have way more debt on their balance sheet, which creates an immense level of inertia for them. As for Tesla, its low debt and positive Net Cash position provides it with great financial flexibility and the privilege to invest in other future projects, while competitors have to deal with their high debt obligations first.</p><p>This is why Tesla has such a strong cost advantage over its peers.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/0b82ebe2e290ba2e14f429c2b2072029\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"507\"/></p><p>Data by YCharts</p><p></p><h2 id=\"id_2897514095\">Reason #6: Fair Valuation</h2><p>Valuation is subjective - especially in the case of Tesla stock.</p><p>You have bears saying it'll go to $26. You have bulls saying it'll go to $2,600. The valuation spectrum for Tesla stock is expansive.</p><p>So I'll keep this section short.</p><p>As it stands, Tesla trades at an EV-to-Revenue multiple of 7.1x and a P/E ratio of 61.7x. Now, these multiples are not cheap by any means, but given historical standards, Tesla looks pretty attractive here.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/aada2d6b3d5d56346b22eed4621c64b4\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"491\"/></p><p>Data by YCharts</p><p></p><p>And given Tesla's strong brand, cost advantages, and efficient scale moats, as well as long-term growth potential in EVs, renewable energy, and autonomy, I believe Tesla's premium valuation is justified.</p><p>However, investors will need to have the stomach to endure the volatility - I think Tesla's premium valuation is mostly tied to its moonshot projects, namely FSD, robotaxi, Optimus, and so on.</p><p>I think it will take some time, probably a few more years or so of iteration before Tesla's moonshot projects begin to materialize and commercialize, and therefore, contribute to the company's top line.</p><p>Even so, its bottom line might remain under pressure for an additional year or so, as it would require these projects to reach a certain scale before they positively impact the company's bottom line.</p><p>Until then, Tesla's P/E ratio might remain elevated, probably for the next five years or so, which means Tesla stock will be prone to any negative news like launch delays or regulatory setbacks.</p><p>For now, I think Tesla stock trades at a reasonable valuation - right at fair value.</p><p>That being said, there are a lot of near-term catalysts that make Tesla stock a compelling buy, including interest rate cuts, the robotaxi event in October, as well as FSD approval.</p><p>However, there are downside risks as well…</p><h2 id=\"id_1000140524\">Risks (aka Reasons to Sell)</h2><ul style=\"\"><li><p><strong>Margin compression</strong>: I argued that margins might have bottomed in Q1 - keyword <em>might.</em> If Tesla's profit margins continue to fall further, the stock will likely follow suit.</p></li><li><p><strong>Execution</strong>: management's goals and targets might also be overly optimistic. Even Elon himself admitted to this. That said, the production ramp may be slower than anticipated. New product launches may get delayed. Promises may turn out to be empty. These will negatively impact the stock in the short term.</p></li><li><p><strong>Regulatory approvals</strong>: FSD, robotaxis, Optimus, AI… these are nascent categories. The regulatory watchdogs will be watching Tesla very closely. Any opposition would be a major blow to Tesla's business.</p></li><li><p><strong>If you don't believe Tesla will solve autonomy</strong>: I'll let Elon explain.</p></li></ul><blockquote><p>The value of Tesla overwhelmingly is autonomy. These other things are in the noise relative to autonomy. So I recommend anyone who doesn't believe that Tesla will solve vehicle autonomy should not hold Tesla stock. They should sell their Tesla stock. You should believe Tesla will solve autonomy, you should buy Tesla stock. And all these other questions are in the noise.</p><p>(CEO Elon Musk - Tesla FY2024 Q2 Earnings Call).</p></blockquote><ul style=\"\"><li><p><strong>Elon Musk</strong>: Recently, Elon said that two people have already tried to assassinate him in the past eight months. That's unfortunate and disgraceful. That said, the success of the company is heavily reliant on its current CEO, it seems. What if Elon is not with us anymore? What happens to Tesla? This is a major risk to consider.</p></li></ul><h2 id=\"id_376359682\">Thesis</h2><p>Following its Q2 earnings release, Tesla stock sold off 12%, and as it stands, the stock is still down 45% from its all-time highs. Perhaps, it might be a good time to buy the stock - in this article, I highlighted six reasons why that is so:</p><ol start=\"1\" style=\"\"><li><p>Tesla is the king of EVs - and it will continue to be the case in the upcoming decades.</p></li><li><p>Energy is taking off - Revenue and profit generation from the segment will be margin accretive.</p></li><li><p>Tesla is probably the only company that has a chance of solving vehicle autonomy.</p></li><li><p>Margins might have bottomed - further sequential improvement will excite investors.</p></li><li><p>Tesla is in the best financial position in its history, with $30B of cash in hand.</p></li><li><p>The stock is fairly valued (in my opinion).</p></li></ol><p>Of course, there are risks. But with a top-quality, durable company like Tesla, I think it's reasonable to assume that Tesla will do well in the coming years.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

(NASDAQ:TSLA), the stock has had a volatile quarter, swinging nearly 100% from its bottom of $140 to its recent high of $270.And recently, the company reported Q2 earnings that sent the stock diving 12% the following day, which is coincidentally how the stock has performed this year so far.Data by YChartsIn my view, the pre-earnings rally was driven by management's vision about the future of the company (as I've highlighted in my previous article) while the post-earnings selloff was probably due to the delay of that vision.That being said, Tesla stock is still down nearly 50% from its all-time highs, so in this article, I will highlight some reasons why the stock may be a good buy at current levels.Of course, I will also mention some reasons why investors might want to avoid the stock.Reason #1: All Hail to the EV KingLooking at Tesla's Q2 results, Tesla recorded $19.9B of Automotive Revenue, down 7% YoY, mainly due to lower average selling prices and a decline in vehicle deliveries. This is concerning as the Automotive unit makes up 78% of total Revenue. What's more, peers such as Ford Motor Company (F) and General Motors Company (GM) actually grew in Q2.Author's AnalysisLet's look at Tesla's production and delivery numbers. We can see that Tesla produced 387K Model 3/Ys in Q2, down 16% YoY - I think management wanted to get their inventory in check given the tough macro environment currently. Production for other models was 24K, up 24% YoY, as Cybertruck production more than tripled sequentially. Altogether, Total Production was 411K in Q2, down 14% YoY.In terms of deliveries, Tesla delivered 422K Model 3/Ys, down 5% YoY, even despite lower ASPs and attractive financing options. On the other hand, Tesla delivered 22K other models, up 12% YoY, likely driven by Cybertruck as it became the best-selling EV pickup in the US in Q2. But on aggregate, Total Deliveries were 444K, down 5% YoY.Author's AnalysisOkay, not a good start at all, right?But here's why I think things will only get better from here:First, Q1 might be the trough. While Total Deliveries were down YoY, it actually increased QoQ, implying an improvement in overall consumer sentiment. Furthermore, management expects a sequential increase in production in Q3.Second, the Fed is expected to cut rates later this year, which could spark an influx of demand for Tesla vehicles - I think many consumers are waiting on the sidelines anticipating falling interest rates, which will improve overall affordability.Third, when we finally do get rate cuts, Tesla should be able to gradually increase ASPs as demand recovers, which should be a net positive for Revenue growth in future quarters.Granted, we may not see strong results in Q3. However, beyond that, we should see a reacceleration in Tesla's Automotive business.And despite the current challenges in the EV market, Services and Other Revenue maintained robust growth, up 21% YoY to $2.6B. Tesla continues to expand its Supercharging network and plans to deploy more capacity - more than the rest of the industry combined in the US - as well as onboard more OEMS throughout the year, which should \"supercharge\" growth in future years.As you can see, the Tesla continues to expand its footprint in Q2:Tesla Locations were up 20% YoY.Mobile Service Fleet was up 7% YoY.Supercharger Stations were up 23% YoY.Supercharger Connectors were up 24% YoY.Author's AnalysisSo while growth has been negative and market share has declined slightly, as seen in the chart below, Tesla has been busy expanding its ecosystem as it prepares for its next stage of growth.Tesla FY2024 Q2 Quarterly Update DeckEven so, Tesla still maintains the lion's share of the EV market, with a global EV market share of 20% in Q1. In the US alone, Tesla has an EV market share of about 50%.Counterpoint ResearchSure, competition is catching up - that's bound to happen as the EV market matures - and Tesla's market share may continue to fall in the near term. However, being the industry leader in terms of performance, innovation, and ecosystem, I believe Tesla will remain the undisputed king of EVs for the next few decades or so.Furthermore, with its strong brand moat, upcoming new product launches, unmatched ecosystem, looming rate cuts, and the world's ongoing transition to full electrification, there's little doubt that Tesla will return to growth mode. It should, therefore, expand its market share, thus solidifying its position as the EV king.Reason #2: Energy ExplosionPerhaps, the biggest surprise of the quarter was the explosion in storage deployments, which was 9.4GWh, up a whopping 158% YoY. This is also more than double its previous record of 4.1GWh in Q1.As a result, Energy Generation and Storage Revenue surged 100% YoY to just over $3.0B. This is a welcome reacceleration in the energy business after a few quarters of deceleration due to the slowdown in the solar unit.I don't think anyone saw this coming - and that's one of the main reasons why the stock rallied before earnings.Author's AnalysisYes, this could be a one-off quarter where several large contracts were lumped in a single quarter - deployments in future quarters will likely fluctuate.Regardless, it's a testament to Tesla's unique value proposition, disciplined execution, and unprecedented demand, even in an environment polluted by high inflation and interest rates.Imagine how this business would do when the macro situation improves…And as CEO Elon Musk mentioned, the energy business is more \"demand constrained rather than production constrained,\" and the company is working hard to ramp up production to meet the demand. For instance, the company is getting ready for the Shanghai Megafactory to start production in Q1 next year, which could double or even triple its output.In addition, the CFO echoes Elon's remarks, citing a strong deal pipeline and strong pricing power in the energy business (emphasis added).So, I mean, we are working with a large set of players in the market and our pipeline is actually pretty long. And there's actually very -- there's actually long end in terms of where you enter into a contract where delivery started -- starts happening. And so far we have good pricing leverage.(CFO Vaibhav Taneja - Tesla FY2024 Q2 Earnings Call).It's also worth mentioning that solar demand should pick up once again when the Fed cuts rates, and combined with the momentum in the storage business, we could see exponential growth in Tesla Energy in the years to come.Reason #3: Solving AutonomyAs a whole, Tesla generated $25.5B of Revenue in Q2, up only 2% YoY. Despite the tiny YoY gain, this beat analyst estimates by $760M.Author's AnalysisNevertheless, the markets aren't really concerned about Tesla's near-term slowdown. They're more interested in the long-term growth story of the company - more specifically, the narrative that Tesla will one day solve autonomy.After all, the markets are forward-looking.Having said that, Tesla is on the right track to achieving the impossible.Valuable FSD data is flowing in at an exponential rate as more and more Tesla owners opt in for the FSD program following its price reduction. Tesla is also offering free trials to certain customers, which, frankly speaking, is a win-win for both parties - customers get to test FSD at no cost while Tesla gets to collect more data and higher FSD attach rates once the trial ends.And as the fleet becomes smarter and as more users spread their experiences through word of mouth, expect \"more meaningful FSD monetization,\" which should boost Automotive Revenue. And let's not forget, that Tesla also intends to license its FSD technology, which is yet another growth catalyst for Tesla.Tesla FY2024 Q2 Quarterly Update DeckOnce unsupervised (important keyword here) FSD is fully rolled out, Tesla can begin deploying its robotaxi service, which is another long-term Revenue booster. Though it is disappointing that the robotaxi product unveil was delayed by a couple of months, it allows Tesla to further improve the product as well as \"to show off a couple of other things.\"Whatever it is, the robotaxi product will be a key growth driver for Tesla given the massive potential of an unmanned, autonomous, transportation service. As mentioned by management (emphasis added), autonomy is \"the biggest differentiator for Tesla\" - and so far, only Tesla is bold enough to venture into this unchartered water.The big -- really by far the biggest differentiator for Tesla is autonomy. In addition to that, we've scale economies and we're the most efficient electric vehicle producer in the world. So, this, anyway -- while others are pursuing different parts of the AI robotic stack, we are pursuing all of them. This allows for better cost control, more scale, quicker time to market, and a superior product, applying not to -- not just to autonomous vehicles, but to autonomous humanoid robots like Optimus.(CEO Elon Musk - Tesla FY2024 Q2 Earnings Call).Speaking of Optimus, management also mentioned that the humanoid robot has begun performing tasks in one of Tesla's factories, and is expected to have several thousands of them by the end of 2025. By 2026, Optimus should be available to outside customers.All these projects require heavy AI training and compute. That is why Tesla is investing heavily in its software infrastructure. For one, the company is still working on its supercomputer, Dojo - to hedge against NVIDIA GPU shortages as well as to build an in-house computer that will make Tesla even more vertically integrated.In addition, Tesla also plans to invest $5B into Elon's AI startup, xAI, which could speed up Tesla's AI developments and capabilities.Whatever it is, solving autonomy is Tesla's next grand mission, which could drive monumental Revenue and earnings growth for decades to come. With all its current investments and developments, Tesla seems to be on the right trajectory and is likely to be the first (and perhaps, only) company to solve full-scale autonomy.Tesla FY2024 Q2 Quarterly Update DeckReason #4: Margins Might Have BottomedIn Q2, Tesla produced $4.6B of Gross Profit at an 18.0% Gross Margin, which is down 20bps YoY. However, the Gross Margin expanded 60bps QoQ, signifying a possible reversal after a 2-year downtrend.Author's AnalysisAs expected, Gross Margin expanded sequentially due to the outgrowth of Tesla's non-automotive business. As you can see, Tesla Energy has the highest Gross Margin of 24.6% as of Q2 - its rapid growth relative to the Automotive division means that it will be margin accretive to the entire business. Furthermore, Services and Other Gross Margin also improved sequentially.Author's AnalysisAs always, the real debate revolves around Tesla's Automotive Gross Margin, which was down 70bps YoY. While margins were flat QoQ, keep in mind that it was largely due to record Regulatory Credit Revenue. Excluding Regulatory Credit Revenue, the Q2 Automotive Gross Margin would have been 14.6%, down from 18.1% last year and 16.4% a quarter ago. Automotive Gross Margin was also negatively affected by the Cybertruck ramp and lower ASPs.Yes, not a good look at all.However, there are reasons to believe that Automotive Gross Margin might improve from here:Tesla is ramping up production for its in-house 4680 battery, up 50%+ QoQ, and is testing it with its Cybertrucks. Once fully ramped, we should see cost per vehicle drop meaningfully, thus boosting margins.Again, when the Fed cuts rates, I believe Tesla will gradually increase ASPs, leading to a higher margin per vehicle.Per the CFO, cost per vehicle excluding the impact of Cybertruck actually dropped QoQ, so once the Cybertruck fully ramps, we should see margins improve as well. Management expects the Cybertruck operation to be profitable by the end of the year.That being said, Q2 Operating Profit was $1.6B at a 6.3% Operating Margin, which improved 80bps QoQ. This included $622M of restructuring charges, so without this one-time charge, the Operating Profit would have been $2.2B and the Operating Margin would have been 8.7%. This is a sign that margins might have bottomed.Author's AnalysisBesides, Tesla is still investing for the future (Reason #3) so margins are expected to be volatile. In addition, Tesla is sacrificing margins today - as seen with lower ASPs, competitive financing options, and new product launches - in an attempt to gain as much market share as possible.One day, when Tesla is ready to deploy its high-margin products... margins will take off.Reason #5: $30B Cash HoardMeanwhile, Tesla maintains a strong balance sheet with $30.7B of Cash and Short-term Investments and Total Debt of $12.5B. All in all, Tesla has $18.2B of Net Cash, which increased by $1.2B QoQ.Author's AnalysisThe increase was driven by a positive Free Cash Flow of $1.3B, representing a 5% FCF Margin, which is a much-needed improvement QoQ, primarily due to a drop in inventory levels.Author's AnalysisBut here's the chart that sets Tesla apart from legacy automakers. As you can see, Tesla has just $7.4B of Long-term Debt while peers have way more debt on their balance sheet, which creates an immense level of inertia for them. As for Tesla, its low debt and positive Net Cash position provides it with great financial flexibility and the privilege to invest in other future projects, while competitors have to deal with their high debt obligations first.This is why Tesla has such a strong cost advantage over its peers.Data by YChartsReason #6: Fair ValuationValuation is subjective - especially in the case of Tesla stock.You have bears saying it'll go to $26. You have bulls saying it'll go to $2,600. The valuation spectrum for Tesla stock is expansive.So I'll keep this section short.As it stands, Tesla trades at an EV-to-Revenue multiple of 7.1x and a P/E ratio of 61.7x. Now, these multiples are not cheap by any means, but given historical standards, Tesla looks pretty attractive here.Data by YChartsAnd given Tesla's strong brand, cost advantages, and efficient scale moats, as well as long-term growth potential in EVs, renewable energy, and autonomy, I believe Tesla's premium valuation is justified.However, investors will need to have the stomach to endure the volatility - I think Tesla's premium valuation is mostly tied to its moonshot projects, namely FSD, robotaxi, Optimus, and so on.I think it will take some time, probably a few more years or so of iteration before Tesla's moonshot projects begin to materialize and commercialize, and therefore, contribute to the company's top line.Even so, its bottom line might remain under pressure for an additional year or so, as it would require these projects to reach a certain scale before they positively impact the company's bottom line.Until then, Tesla's P/E ratio might remain elevated, probably for the next five years or so, which means Tesla stock will be prone to any negative news like launch delays or regulatory setbacks.For now, I think Tesla stock trades at a reasonable valuation - right at fair value.That being said, there are a lot of near-term catalysts that make Tesla stock a compelling buy, including interest rate cuts, the robotaxi event in October, as well as FSD approval.However, there are downside risks as well…Risks (aka Reasons to Sell)Margin compression: I argued that margins might have bottomed in Q1 - keyword might. If Tesla's profit margins continue to fall further, the stock will likely follow suit.Execution: management's goals and targets might also be overly optimistic. Even Elon himself admitted to this. That said, the production ramp may be slower than anticipated. New product launches may get delayed. Promises may turn out to be empty. These will negatively impact the stock in the short term.Regulatory approvals: FSD, robotaxis, Optimus, AI… these are nascent categories. The regulatory watchdogs will be watching Tesla very closely. Any opposition would be a major blow to Tesla's business.If you don't believe Tesla will solve autonomy: I'll let Elon explain.The value of Tesla overwhelmingly is autonomy. These other things are in the noise relative to autonomy. So I recommend anyone who doesn't believe that Tesla will solve vehicle autonomy should not hold Tesla stock. They should sell their Tesla stock. You should believe Tesla will solve autonomy, you should buy Tesla stock. And all these other questions are in the noise.(CEO Elon Musk - Tesla FY2024 Q2 Earnings Call).Elon Musk: Recently, Elon said that two people have already tried to assassinate him in the past eight months. That's unfortunate and disgraceful. That said, the success of the company is heavily reliant on its current CEO, it seems. What if Elon is not with us anymore? What happens to Tesla? This is a major risk to consider.ThesisFollowing its Q2 earnings release, Tesla stock sold off 12%, and as it stands, the stock is still down 45% from its all-time highs. Perhaps, it might be a good time to buy the stock - in this article, I highlighted six reasons why that is so:Tesla is the king of EVs - and it will continue to be the case in the upcoming decades.Energy is taking off - Revenue and profit generation from the segment will be margin accretive.Tesla is probably the only company that has a chance of solving vehicle autonomy.Margins might have bottomed - further sequential improvement will excite investors.Tesla is in the best financial position in its history, with $30B of cash in hand.The stock is fairly valued (in my opinion).Of course, there are risks. But with a top-quality, durable company like Tesla, I think it's reasonable to assume that Tesla will do well in the coming years.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":59,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":330488273678480,"gmtCreate":1721691542955,"gmtModify":1721691557033,"author":{"id":"3562193648411471","authorId":"3562193648411471","name":"Coldastone17","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/4f1bd3166de45ed68ce52aacd1ca37f1","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3562193648411471","authorIdStr":"3562193648411471"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Tomorrow

However, a tactical shift towards a more positive outlook on suppliers is evident as the second quarter approaches.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">This change is based on expectations of better-than-anticipated outcomes which could lift near-term sentiment from currently low levels, mirroring trends observed in the first quarter.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">In a strategic move, Citi has initiated a 30-Day Upside View on both BorgWarner Inc (NYSE:BWA). and Aptiv (NYSE:APTV) PLC, anticipating an uptick in market sentiment for these suppliers. Conversely, the firm has adopted a 30-Day Downside View on Magna International (NYSE:MGA) Inc., citing heightened risk in second-quarter consensus and guidance.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Citi has also adjusted its estimates and targets for several tier-1 suppliers, signaling a more cautious approach.

UBS downgraded Tesla's stock rating from Neutral to Sell, despite raising the price target to $197 from $147. The downgrade comes as a result of concerns over Tesla's valuation, particularly in relation to its investments in artificial intelligence (AI).</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Meanwhile, Tesla has expanded its Model 3 lineup with a new rear-wheel drive long-range variant priced at $42,490, aiming to offer a more affordable option to consumers.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">The company has also postponed the debut of its anticipated Robotaxi service from August to October. In response to tariffs imposed by the European Commission on China-made electric vehicles, Tesla has adjusted the prices of its Model 3 vehicles across several European countries.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">On the investment front, Morgan Stanley revised the valuation of Tesla's energy storage business to $50 per share, while Oppenheimer projected that Tesla's energy storage sales could surpass $3 billion in the current quarter.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">ARK Investment Management's CEO, Cathie Wood, expressed confidence in the firm's flagship fund strategy, with Tesla being one of the top investments.

However, a tactical shift towards a more positive outlook on suppliers is evident as the second quarter approaches.This change is based on expectations of better-than-anticipated outcomes which could lift near-term sentiment from currently low levels, mirroring trends observed in the first quarter.In a strategic move, Citi has initiated a 30-Day Upside View on both BorgWarner Inc (NYSE:BWA). and Aptiv (NYSE:APTV) PLC, anticipating an uptick in market sentiment for these suppliers. Conversely, the firm has adopted a 30-Day Downside View on Magna International (NYSE:MGA) Inc., citing heightened risk in second-quarter consensus and guidance.Citi has also adjusted its estimates and targets for several tier-1 suppliers, signaling a more cautious approach. When it comes to General Motors (NYSE:GM) and Ford (NYSE:F), Citi anticipates robust results that align with its bullish outlook.Nonetheless, the firm suggests that initial stock reactions post-earnings could be influenced by various nuances, advising investors to temper their expectations for the second quarter.In summary, while Citi has increased its estimates and price target for Tesla, reflecting a more optimistic short-term sentiment, the firm's overall position remains neutral due to the stock's performance reliance on future product and technology developments.In other recent news, Tesla Inc. has seen a series of developments. UBS downgraded Tesla's stock rating from Neutral to Sell, despite raising the price target to $197 from $147. The downgrade comes as a result of concerns over Tesla's valuation, particularly in relation to its investments in artificial intelligence (AI).Meanwhile, Tesla has expanded its Model 3 lineup with a new rear-wheel drive long-range variant priced at $42,490, aiming to offer a more affordable option to consumers.The company has also postponed the debut of its anticipated Robotaxi service from August to October. In response to tariffs imposed by the European Commission on China-made electric vehicles, Tesla has adjusted the prices of its Model 3 vehicles across several European countries.On the investment front, Morgan Stanley revised the valuation of Tesla's energy storage business to $50 per share, while Oppenheimer projected that Tesla's energy storage sales could surpass $3 billion in the current quarter.ARK Investment Management's CEO, Cathie Wood, expressed confidence in the firm's flagship fund strategy, with Tesla being one of the top investments. These are among the recent developments concerning Tesla.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":111,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":326654205485320,"gmtCreate":1720782927468,"gmtModify":1720792524978,"author":{"id":"3562193648411471","authorId":"3562193648411471","name":"Coldastone17","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/4f1bd3166de45ed68ce52aacd1ca37f1","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3562193648411471","authorIdStr":"3562193648411471"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wat a stupid assessment ","listText":"Wat a stupid assessment ","text":"Wat a stupid assessment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/326654205485320","repostId":"2450337833","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2450337833","pubTimestamp":1720752914,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2450337833?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2024-07-12 10:55","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla Is Great.

I downgraded the stock back in April 2024 when a share was trading for $185.

Therefore, I suggest taking a closer look at Tesla's Q1 2024 results, even though they are likely already fully reflected in the current stock price given the time since their publication.</p><p>In Q1, Tesla's overall revenue declined by 9% to $21.301 billion. TSLA's Automotive division revenue was the key "negative driver" as it fell by 13% to $17.378 billion, while Services and Other revenue rose 25% YoY to $2.288 billion. The consolidated gross profit margin continued its downward trajectory, slipping from 19.34% last year to 17.35%, according to Seeking Alpha data. As we can see, the Auto margins saw a slight dip from 18.9% to 18.5%. However, as the CFO noted during the latest earnings call, when excluding the impact of the Cybertruck and the ramp-up costs for the Model 3 in Fremont, the margins actually improved slightly.

Although the company managed to resist its rivals effectively in Q1 and apparently also in Q2, 2024, the trend towards cheaper electric cars continues. Nobody knows how low Tesla's gross margin can go until this is no longer a pressing issue for the company. Given the serious overvaluation (40.5x P/E forecast for 2028), I see some pretty serious downside ahead. Goldman Sachs sees a downside potential of ~16.6%, but given the recent price increases, I think this could be even higher.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/4fa6bd55c28a7cf3c998b67e0820458e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"384\"/></p><p>GS [proprietary source, July 2024]</p><p></p><p>I have therefore decided to leave my "Sell" rating unchanged today.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The seasonal data points to a weak momentum shortly.Given the serious overvaluation (40.5x P/E forecast for 2028), I see some pretty serious downside ahead.I've therefore decided to leave my “Sell” rating unchanged today. Sell the rip.Magnus KvandalIntro & ThesisIf you've been following me for a while, you've probably read some of my previous 15 articles on Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock. I downgraded the stock back in April 2024 when a share was trading for $185. I made the case for not buying the dip, and since then, TSLA's performance can be compared to that of the S&P 500 Index (SP500, SPY) thanks to the rally we've seen over the past three weeks alone.Seeking Alpha Premium, TSLADespite this phenomenal strength and the growing positive sentiment around TSLA, I don't think the current recovery rally will last long as it is not backed by the company's most important fundamentals as far as I can see.Why Do I Think So?As is typically the case with a thesis update, it's essential to be guided by the latest financial data. Therefore, I suggest taking a closer look at Tesla's Q1 2024 results, even though they are likely already fully reflected in the current stock price given the time since their publication.In Q1, Tesla's overall revenue declined by 9% to $21.301 billion. TSLA's Automotive division revenue was the key \"negative driver\" as it fell by 13% to $17.378 billion, while Services and Other revenue rose 25% YoY to $2.288 billion. The consolidated gross profit margin continued its downward trajectory, slipping from 19.34% last year to 17.35%, according to Seeking Alpha data. As we can see, the Auto margins saw a slight dip from 18.9% to 18.5%. However, as the CFO noted during the latest earnings call, when excluding the impact of the Cybertruck and the ramp-up costs for the Model 3 in Fremont, the margins actually improved slightly. This was thanks to cost reductions and revenue from the new Autopark feature for certain U.S. vehicles.In Q1 2024, Tesla delivered 386,810 vehicles, including 17,027 Model S and Model X and 369,783 Model 3 and Model Y, marking a 9% decrease from Q1 2023. We know that the Shanghai factory has been running at full capacity since Q4 last year despite previous production lulls, but this fact didn't help Tesla to maintain its market share in China, which continued to shrink in June:Tesla's share of China's new energy vehicle (NEV) market, which includes both battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids, fell to 6.92% in June, down from 11.16% last year. However, on a sequential basis, Tesla's sales in China are up 7.33% from May, when the Elon Musk-led company sold 55,215 vehicles.Source: Benzinga [July 8, 2024], emphasis added.On the bright side, the launch of Cybertruck sales has enabled the company to increase its global market share to 20%, according to CounterPoint Research. That's 2% less than in Q1 FY2023, but on a QoQ basis the growth looks significant indeed.CounterPoint Research dataTesla's revenue from Energy Generation and Storage grew in Q1 by 7% YoY to $1.635 billion due to high demand for Powerwall and Megapack products.

The electric vehicle giant has seen shares rise significantly after some optimism built surrounding Q2 unit volumes, helping to put a very weak Q1 in the rearview mirror. Tuesday morning, Tesla published its quarterly production and delivery report, with all the numbers providing a nice surprise for the bulls.</p><h2 id=\"id_1246271982\">My previous coverage:</h2><p>It was back at the Q1 earnings report when I last covered Tesla. At that time, the company reported disappointing headline numbers, with a number of headwinds suppressing production and deliveries in the period. Management also detailed cash burn of more than $2.5 billion for the quarter, but yearly guidance wasn't as bad as it could have been.</p><p>At that time, I upgraded the stock from a sell to a hold. Elon Musk revealed that Tesla would change its plans up a bit, focusing on some more affordable vehicles in the short to medium term rather than going all in on the so called "$25,000 EV" first. Since that time, Tesla shares have surged roughly 40%, compared to a high single digit percentage gain for the S&P 500.</p><h2 id=\"id_1054952405\">Q1 figures come in very strong:</h2><p>Over the last couple of months, Tesla volume estimates have been coming down thanks to that Q1 weakness. Some of that has been due to a slower than expected refresh of the Model 3 Performance variant in the US, while fears have grown over competition in China. European sales also have struggled at times, resulting in Tesla offering numerous discounts and promotions worldwide in Q2. In the end, these marketing efforts paid off, as the results below show:</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/5d94acf5befe5ff166f6c76c212a732e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"232\"/></p><p>Tesla Q2 2024 Volumes (Company Press Release)</p><p></p><p>When Tesla sent out its investor relations compiled analyst estimate average, the street number for deliveries was under 438,000.

We'll have to wait a few weeks to see how certain countries did and if there were any fleet sales involved here, but all things considered, this was very solid. The only negative is that this was still a roughly 5% decline over the prior year period, despite the addition of the Cybertruck.</p><p>It will be very interesting to see how the low production numbers impact Tesla's margins, as it appears factory shutdowns were much larger than originally expected.

Revenue estimates should definitely rise a bit into the earnings report in three weeks. I think the street will start to be more positive on the adjusted bottom line as well, when excluding the likely large restructuring charge that Tesla will have taken in Q2 to improve its overall cost structure.

With Elon Musk, Cathie Wood, and so many others calling for the autonomous platform to be the main driver of Tesla's growth in the coming years, this event could be the most important company one to date.</p><h2 id=\"id_244468412\">The valuation remains above peers:</h2><p>Tesla has been seen as the clear leader in the EV space for some time, and thus it has gotten a very premium valuation. Without adjusting for analyst bottom-line numbers changing in the coming weeks, shares right now are going for about 90 times this year's expected earnings and more than 50 times if we go out to 2026. Traditional automakers go for earnings multiples in the mid to high single digits at best.</p><p>In the chart below, I've compared Tesla to a number of EV peers on price to sales, since most of them don't have any earnings. While Tesla goes for more than 5 times expected 2026 revenues, the average of Lucid (LCID), VinFast (VFS), Rivian (RIVN), XPeng (XPEV), BYD (OTCPK:BYDDF), NIO (NIO), and Polestar (PSNY) actually stands at just over 0.9 times. If we look at more traditional automakers, the price to sales figures drop even further to about 0.3 times.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/7b95c71fadb21dc58d55e0c8025da38d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"405\"/></p><p>2026 Price to Sales (Seeking Alpha)</p><p></p><p>Wall Street will also have some catching up to do in the near term.

The main concerns were how Elon would conduct himself and what the product roadmap would look like. There is no secret that I was bearish on Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) for years, and the turning point was the introduction of Optimus. While the Q1 numbers showed a QoQ and YoY decline in revenue and profitability from EBITDA to net income, the market looks as if it's giving the team at TSLA tremendous credit as shares are up over 10% after hours. I am going to eat my previous words and come out and say that TSLA is not just a car company. At this point, you either believe in TSLA's vision and product roadmap, or you don't. From a financial perspective, this wasn't a quarter to get excited about, and looking at the numbers on a trailing twelve-month (TTM) basis, TSLA looks overvalued. The market is forward-looking, though, and TSLA is positioning itself as the company that will crack the code from robotics to autonomy. I have been adding to my position in TSLA throughout Q1, and I plan on adding to my position throughout the rest of 2024 as the next phase of growth could be more explosive than the first phase for TSLA.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/25e539165dc3d613a6d5ce236c6a28db\" alt=\"Seeking Alpha\" title=\"Seeking Alpha\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"388\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><p>On today's earnings call, Elon and the team at TSLA provided critical insights to the product roadmap, and TSLA is now one of my top picks for the next 5 years as long as they can deliver. I am following up to discuss why I am now extremely bullish on TSLA.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/e488d47fc29842650d7fbfffca45d1ca\" alt=\"Seeking Alpha\" title=\"Seeking Alpha\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"217\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><h3 id=\"id_3726187970\">Risks to my investment thesis</h3><p>There are several risks to my investment thesis, and just because I can see the vision doesn't mean it will actually play out the way I envision it. The first risk is Elon himself because we never know what we're going to get. While he says his main focus continues to be TSLA, he is leading several large companies, and there is always a chance that he will go down the rabbit hole and focus the majority of his energy somewhere else. The next risk is execution, and while TSLA has made tremendous progress in several areas, it still needs to finish building FSD, implement a Robotaxi network, improve Optimus, and get past federal and local regulations regarding self-driving. Just because the roadmap looks great doesn't mean it will play out that way and today if you look at TSLA from a pure numbers aspect without taking into consideration future potential, the valuation can look stretched. While the market seems to be buying into the vision, we could see some of its projects get delayed, and the market turn on TSLA just as quickly as it is lifting shares from the recent bottom.</p><h3 id=\"id_1861293871\">Tesla's Q1 numbers weren't good, and the company is still expensive, no matter how you value the company</h3><p>For years, I had valued and argued that TSLA was just an automotive company, but not anymore. Some will agree, and some will argue that TSLA is just a car company, as it's about perspective at the end of the day. I am looking at the numbers and how TSLA is diversifying its business to provide a roadmap of what is on the horizon when its other business ventures come online. In Q1 2023, total automotive revenue accounted for 85.57% of its total revenue ($19.96 billion / $23.33 billion). After the cost of the automotive revenue was factored in, TSLA generated $4.21 billion in gross profit from automotive, which was 93.28% of their total gross profit, which came in at $4.51 billion. Fast-forward a year to the numbers we received today, TSLA generated 81.58% of its total revenue from automotive ($17.38 billion / $21.3 billion). Automotive's accounted for 86.91% of TSLA's gross profit in Q1 2024 ($3.21 billion / $3.7 billion). While the macroeconomic environment hasn't been favorable for the automotive industry in general, the amount of revenue generated by energy generation and storage, and the services business segments increased by 16.55% YoY. Energy generation and storage watched its Q1 revenue increase by $106 million (6.93%) YoY, while services increased by $451 million (24.55%) YoY. TSLA is slowly becoming more diversified, and this helps the narrative about them not being just a car company.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/cbae9763579d5f1fdd18aaba2db2444f\" alt=\"Tesla\" title=\"Tesla\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"344\"/><span>Tesla</span></p><p>This wasn't TSLA's shining moment from a numbers' aspect, and if you look at TSLA as just a car company, then it looks overvalued. TSLA has a market cap of $453 billion and just put up its worst quarter in 5 quarters. Revenue declined -9% YoY in Q1 to $21.30 billion, while its net income dropped -55% and its free cash flow (FCF) was non-existent. Looking at TSLA as a Magnificent Seven stock and also as an automotive company, TSLA looks overvalued today, and over the next several years. For investors who choose to look at TSLA as strictly a car company, its 52.97x multiple on 2024 earnings will look crazy against Ford (F) trading at 6.92 times and GM (GM) trading at 5 times 2024 earnings. As a Magnificent Seven stock, TSLA also looks overvalued as it trades at 52.97 times 2024 earnings compared to NVIDIA (NVDA) at 33.42 times 2024 earnings. Even looking out to 2026, TSLA trades at a forward P/E of 31.44 times, which is more than any of the companies in the Magnificent Seven.</p><p>TSLA's total production in automotives declined by -2% YoY, while deliveries declined by -9% YoY. Many had expected rate cuts to have already started by now, but it doesn't look like they're coming at the May meeting. The higher for longer rate environment is constraining capital for many individuals, and this hurts large ticket items such as automotives. We could be in a higher for longer environment that rolls into 2025 without a rate cut, and there is no telling what the Fed will actually do. Other manufacturers are shifting gears toward plug-in hybrids, while TSLA stays true to the EV market. From a valuation perspective, TSLA is expensive, and the recent bump after hours could be short-lived. If you don't believe in the vision, TSLA won't fit in your valuation model because there are many other opportunities that are attractively priced.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/a4c5f742b2246c0878340df606fd69ca\" alt=\"Steven Fiorillo, Seeking Alpha\" title=\"Steven Fiorillo, Seeking Alpha\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"170\"/><span>Steven Fiorillo, Seeking Alpha</span></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/5ae9d733359b53774295444a75d4f40c\" alt=\"Seeking Alpha\" title=\"Seeking Alpha\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"200\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><h3 id=\"id_2713519138\">The automotive business will fund TSLA's vision and could make it the most valuable company in the market someday</h3><p>While I admit that TSLA is trading at a large premium, I am not buying shares of TSLA for the company it is today. I am investing for 5-10 years forward because of the potential its businesses have. Put valuation aside for a moment, TSLA has created a company that can fund its future endeavors quite easily. TSLA is sitting on $26.86 billion in cash after allocating capital toward GPUs to advance its FSD vision. The operating aspect for TSLA is still profitable, and TSLA has less than $3 billion in debt on its balance sheet. TSLA has put themselves in a position where they are still generating billions in profitability, has a net-debt position of over $20 billion, and is continuing to put vehicles on the road, which will be the foundation of one of its future businesses. This isn't a company tapping the debt markets trying to get proof of concept. TSLA is advancing in several areas, and the vision could make TSLA the most valuable company if the team can deliver.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/afdd424f9b8ff898f17f13f1766d6db0\" alt=\"Tesla\" title=\"Tesla\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"345\"/><span>Tesla</span></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/b4bcc672a033958fc279d78d2bbd7cbf\" alt=\"Tesla\" title=\"Tesla\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"350\"/><span>Tesla</span></p><p>For me, I am investing in TSLA because of 4 things, humanoid robots, FSD, Robotaxi, and the charging network. Since I became bullish on TSLA, I have said that Optimus could be larger than the entire car business. On the earnings call, Elon said:</p><blockquote><p>Optimus is able to already do some small factory tasks in the lab. We may be able to sell it externally by the end of next year. Optimus may be more valuable than everything else combined."</p></blockquote><p>There are roughly 142 million homes in the United States, 84.37 million white-collar jobs, and 63.6 million blue-collar jobs. This is only a small fraction when you think about the global market. The potential for robots is limitless, and the company that is first to market will likely dominate the market. Personally, I will buy Optimus at the $20-$25,000 price point that has been discussed if it's able to do simple tasks such as cleaning and doing laundry. When I purchase one, I am not going to purchase another one just because another company brought one to market. TSLA has a large lead, and if they're able to start selling them externally by the end of next year, they will likely create a large moat in the sector. When I think about the impact on TSLA's financials, Optimus could have its dramatic, especially if there is a service plan attached to it through TSLA's AI network, which allows each Optimus bot to learn as tasks are performed across the network in real-time. If Optimus gains a 10% foothold in homes, blue-collar, and white-collar jobs at a $22,000 price point, it could generate $638.75 billion in revenue. If each bot has a learning plan at $39.99 per month, it could generate $1.16 billion in monthly recurring revenue. The scalability is huge when I think about the global market, from homes to warehouses.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/a1a42b87ee0643c71ba8e95cc2ae757a\" alt=\"Steven Fiorillo\" title=\"Steven Fiorillo\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"302\"/><span>Steven Fiorillo</span></p><p>Next is FSD and Robotaxis. The global taxi market is expected to reach $120.89 billion by 2027. On the earnings call, Elon indicated that cyber-cabs were coming sooner than later, and with the amount of miles driven in FSD V12 it's when, not if. What could be more important is that he said one of the large auto manufacturers is in talks to license FSD from TSLA. FSD and Robotaxis have been 2 areas that I am up in the air on due to regulation. I have no doubt that this is the way of the future and that TSLA is ahead of its competitors in these areas, but they will need to pass regulations to make them a reality. When they get there, TSLA will certainly generate organically from its customer base from FSD. TSLA should also have no problem building out a ride-hailing service, considering they pretty much have the U.S. mapped out from miles driven already. Even if ride-hailing through a Robotaxi fleet isn't a reality until 2030, there is potential for this to become a $10 billion-dollar business if it takes less than 10% of the taxi market. Uber Technologies (UBER) is already generating $37 billion in annual revenue, and TSLA has the potential to disrupt the entire sector in the same regard that UBER did. The feather in TSLA's cap could be licensing because if they license FSD to a large automotive manufacturer, theoretically those vehicles would also be able to utilize the Robotaxi network.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/7d8ff799c08df8b429853416a7afbcfa\" alt=\"Steven Fiorillo, Allied Market Research\" title=\"Steven Fiorillo, Allied Market Research\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"360\"/><span>Steven Fiorillo, Allied Market Research</span></p><p>TSLA now has 6,249 Supercharger stations with 57,579 Superchargers. They also have over 40,000 wall connectors at destination charging stations. TSLA's network has opened up to GM and Ford EVs as of February 2024, with other large manufacturers adopting the NACS connector in future EV's. When I model out the potential for supercharging stations, it's interesting, especially since this is in its infancy. There are 525,600 minutes in a year, which means that TSLA has roughly 51.28 billion charging minutes across its chargers. At $0.13 per KWH under 60KWH and $0.26 per KWH over 60KWH, TSLA has the potential to generate $10.26 billion in revenue if every charger is used 24/7. At a 20% gross margin, this would be a potential gross profit of $2.05 billion. If TSLA's chargers had a 25% utilization rate, they could generate $2.56 billion in revenue and $512.88 billion in gross profit for TSLA. When you combine FSD and Robotaxi in the mix, if a TSLA needs a charge, it is likely to direct the car to a TSLA charging station. This business is certainly years away from being instrumental, but TSLA has laid the foundation with over 6,000 stations. Think about what this could look like in 20 years. Not only would TSLA generate revenue from the vehicles, but they would also generate revenue from the software and charging on their vehicles, in addition to licensing the software to other manufacturers and having those EVs charge at TSLA stations.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/70003a492e235cee41998ca5d891cd28\" alt=\"Steven Fiorillo, Tesla\" title=\"Steven Fiorillo, Tesla\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"360\"/><span>Steven Fiorillo, Tesla</span></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/43c8244b599c7ef7f49c95de0d5ec6fd\" alt=\"Tesla\" title=\"Tesla\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"455\"/><span>Tesla</span></p><h2 id=\"id_1744229713\">Conclusion</h2><p>I am a reformed TSLA bear and have been buying shares into earnings. This earnings call was completely opposite from what occurred on the last earnings call, and the TSLA vision is in full swing. Shares of TSLA are still very pricey, and I would agree that for the earnings they are generating today and what they are expected to generate over the next couple of years, TSLA is expensive. At this point, you either believe in the future TSLA is trying to build, or you don't. I am willing to pay for growth if I believe in the investment thesis, and if TSLA can pull all of this off, it could become the most valuable company in the market down the road. A lot has to go right, and there are many threats to my bull thesis, but Elon has been able to manage multiple companies, so if there is anyone who can pull off a massive multi-prong vision, it's him. I could be incorrect, and the after-hours pop could disappear, but I believe Optimus will be larger than the automotive business, and technology only advances forward, making TSLA an interesting growth story for the next decade.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The main concerns were how Elon would conduct himself and what the product roadmap would look like. There is no secret that I was bearish on Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) for years, and the turning point was the introduction of Optimus. While the Q1 numbers showed a QoQ and YoY decline in revenue and profitability from EBITDA to net income, the market looks as if it's giving the team at TSLA tremendous credit as shares are up over 10% after hours. I am going to eat my previous words and come out and say that TSLA is not just a car company. At this point, you either believe in TSLA's vision and product roadmap, or you don't. From a financial perspective, this wasn't a quarter to get excited about, and looking at the numbers on a trailing twelve-month (TTM) basis, TSLA looks overvalued. The market is forward-looking, though, and TSLA is positioning itself as the company that will crack the code from robotics to autonomy. I have been adding to my position in TSLA throughout Q1, and I plan on adding to my position throughout the rest of 2024 as the next phase of growth could be more explosive than the first phase for TSLA.Seeking AlphaOn today's earnings call, Elon and the team at TSLA provided critical insights to the product roadmap, and TSLA is now one of my top picks for the next 5 years as long as they can deliver. I am following up to discuss why I am now extremely bullish on TSLA.Seeking AlphaRisks to my investment thesisThere are several risks to my investment thesis, and just because I can see the vision doesn't mean it will actually play out the way I envision it. The first risk is Elon himself because we never know what we're going to get. While he says his main focus continues to be TSLA, he is leading several large companies, and there is always a chance that he will go down the rabbit hole and focus the majority of his energy somewhere else. The next risk is execution, and while TSLA has made tremendous progress in several areas, it still needs to finish building FSD, implement a Robotaxi network, improve Optimus, and get past federal and local regulations regarding self-driving. Just because the roadmap looks great doesn't mean it will play out that way and today if you look at TSLA from a pure numbers aspect without taking into consideration future potential, the valuation can look stretched. While the market seems to be buying into the vision, we could see some of its projects get delayed, and the market turn on TSLA just as quickly as it is lifting shares from the recent bottom.Tesla's Q1 numbers weren't good, and the company is still expensive, no matter how you value the companyFor years, I had valued and argued that TSLA was just an automotive company, but not anymore. Some will agree, and some will argue that TSLA is just a car company, as it's about perspective at the end of the day. I am looking at the numbers and how TSLA is diversifying its business to provide a roadmap of what is on the horizon when its other business ventures come online. In Q1 2023, total automotive revenue accounted for 85.57% of its total revenue ($19.96 billion / $23.33 billion). After the cost of the automotive revenue was factored in, TSLA generated $4.21 billion in gross profit from automotive, which was 93.28% of their total gross profit, which came in at $4.51 billion. Fast-forward a year to the numbers we received today, TSLA generated 81.58% of its total revenue from automotive ($17.38 billion / $21.3 billion). Automotive's accounted for 86.91% of TSLA's gross profit in Q1 2024 ($3.21 billion / $3.7 billion). While the macroeconomic environment hasn't been favorable for the automotive industry in general, the amount of revenue generated by energy generation and storage, and the services business segments increased by 16.55% YoY. Energy generation and storage watched its Q1 revenue increase by $106 million (6.93%) YoY, while services increased by $451 million (24.55%) YoY. TSLA is slowly becoming more diversified, and this helps the narrative about them not being just a car company.TeslaThis wasn't TSLA's shining moment from a numbers' aspect, and if you look at TSLA as just a car company, then it looks overvalued. TSLA has a market cap of $453 billion and just put up its worst quarter in 5 quarters. Revenue declined -9% YoY in Q1 to $21.30 billion, while its net income dropped -55% and its free cash flow (FCF) was non-existent. Looking at TSLA as a Magnificent Seven stock and also as an automotive company, TSLA looks overvalued today, and over the next several years. For investors who choose to look at TSLA as strictly a car company, its 52.97x multiple on 2024 earnings will look crazy against Ford (F) trading at 6.92 times and GM (GM) trading at 5 times 2024 earnings. As a Magnificent Seven stock, TSLA also looks overvalued as it trades at 52.97 times 2024 earnings compared to NVIDIA (NVDA) at 33.42 times 2024 earnings. Even looking out to 2026, TSLA trades at a forward P/E of 31.44 times, which is more than any of the companies in the Magnificent Seven.TSLA's total production in automotives declined by -2% YoY, while deliveries declined by -9% YoY. Many had expected rate cuts to have already started by now, but it doesn't look like they're coming at the May meeting. The higher for longer rate environment is constraining capital for many individuals, and this hurts large ticket items such as automotives.

When I think about the impact on TSLA's financials, Optimus could have its dramatic, especially if there is a service plan attached to it through TSLA's AI network, which allows each Optimus bot to learn as tasks are performed across the network in real-time. If Optimus gains a 10% foothold in homes, blue-collar, and white-collar jobs at a $22,000 price point, it could generate $638.75 billion in revenue. If each bot has a learning plan at $39.99 per month, it could generate $1.16 billion in monthly recurring revenue. The scalability is huge when I think about the global market, from homes to warehouses.Steven FiorilloNext is FSD and Robotaxis. The global taxi market is expected to reach $120.89 billion by 2027. On the earnings call, Elon indicated that cyber-cabs were coming sooner than later, and with the amount of miles driven in FSD V12 it's when, not if. What could be more important is that he said one of the large auto manufacturers is in talks to license FSD from TSLA. FSD and Robotaxis have been 2 areas that I am up in the air on due to regulation. I have no doubt that this is the way of the future and that TSLA is ahead of its competitors in these areas, but they will need to pass regulations to make them a reality. When they get there, TSLA will certainly generate organically from its customer base from FSD. TSLA should also have no problem building out a ride-hailing service, considering they pretty much have the U.S. mapped out from miles driven already. Even if ride-hailing through a Robotaxi fleet isn't a reality until 2030, there is potential for this to become a $10 billion-dollar business if it takes less than 10% of the taxi market. Uber Technologies (UBER) is already generating $37 billion in annual revenue, and TSLA has the potential to disrupt the entire sector in the same regard that UBER did. The feather in TSLA's cap could be licensing because if they license FSD to a large automotive manufacturer, theoretically those vehicles would also be able to utilize the Robotaxi network.Steven Fiorillo, Allied Market ResearchTSLA now has 6,249 Supercharger stations with 57,579 Superchargers. They also have over 40,000 wall connectors at destination charging stations. TSLA's network has opened up to GM and Ford EVs as of February 2024, with other large manufacturers adopting the NACS connector in future EV's. When I model out the potential for supercharging stations, it's interesting, especially since this is in its infancy. There are 525,600 minutes in a year, which means that TSLA has roughly 51.28 billion charging minutes across its chargers. At $0.13 per KWH under 60KWH and $0.26 per KWH over 60KWH, TSLA has the potential to generate $10.26 billion in revenue if every charger is used 24/7. At a 20% gross margin, this would be a potential gross profit of $2.05 billion. If TSLA's chargers had a 25% utilization rate, they could generate $2.56 billion in revenue and $512.88 billion in gross profit for TSLA. When you combine FSD and Robotaxi in the mix, if a TSLA needs a charge, it is likely to direct the car to a TSLA charging station. This business is certainly years away from being instrumental, but TSLA has laid the foundation with over 6,000 stations. Think about what this could look like in 20 years. Not only would TSLA generate revenue from the vehicles, but they would also generate revenue from the software and charging on their vehicles, in addition to licensing the software to other manufacturers and having those EVs charge at TSLA stations.Steven Fiorillo, TeslaTeslaConclusionI am a reformed TSLA bear and have been buying shares into earnings. This earnings call was completely opposite from what occurred on the last earnings call, and the TSLA vision is in full swing. Shares of TSLA are still very pricey, and I would agree that for the earnings they are generating today and what they are expected to generate over the next couple of years, TSLA is expensive. At this point, you either believe in the future TSLA is trying to build, or you don't. I am willing to pay for growth if I believe in the investment thesis, and if TSLA can pull all of this off, it could become the most valuable company in the market down the road. A lot has to go right, and there are many threats to my bull thesis, but Elon has been able to manage multiple companies, so if there is anyone who can pull off a massive multi-prong vision, it's him. I could be incorrect, and the after-hours pop could disappear, but I believe Optimus will be larger than the automotive business, and technology only advances forward, making TSLA an interesting growth story for the next decade.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":239,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":297193148662000,"gmtCreate":1713585681831,"gmtModify":1713585685485,"author":{"id":"3562193648411471","authorId":"3562193648411471","name":"Coldastone17","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/4f1bd3166de45ed68ce52aacd1ca37f1","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3562193648411471","authorIdStr":"3562193648411471"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"When tsla goes down so low..u knoe next is a high cos something will happen soon ","listText":"When tsla goes down so low..u knoe next is a high cos something will happen soon ","text":"When tsla goes down so low..u knoe next is a high cos something will happen soon","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/297193148662000","repostId":"2428621926","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2428621926","pubTimestamp":1713585600,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2428621926?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2024-04-20 12:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"So Many Headwinds, Is Tesla Toast?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2428621926","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"Tesla, Inc. is facing a host of obstacles with EV market growth down significantly, competition increasing, market share declining and pricing pressures.Increasing competition from China, rising trade","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul style=\"\"><li><p>Tesla, Inc. is facing a host of obstacles with EV market growth down significantly, competition increasing, market share declining and pricing pressures.</p></li><li><p>Increasing competition from China, rising trade tensions and brand problems add to the complicated picture.</p></li><li><p>Vigorous growth is unlikely to return anytime soon, and share valuation is still in premium territory.

That was a 2.6 percent increase from the same period last year, but a 7.3 decrease from the final quarter of 2023. And amid the quarter-to-quarter slowdown in the industry, Tesla's market share has fallen from 62 percent at the start of 2023 to 51 percent now... <strong>Tesla sales fell more than 13 percent compared with the first quarter last year, while most of its emerging competitors saw double or even triple-digit growth</strong>.</p></blockquote><p>Not only is the market slowing down markedly, Tesla is losing share, a double whammy. Other developed markets aren't doing much better (March 2024 versus March 2023):</p><blockquote><p>In Germany, sales plunged by 28.9pc in March, while they were down by 41.4pc in Ireland, 35.6pc in Finland, 34.4pc in Italy and 33.7pc in Sweden.</p></blockquote><p>For the first three months, EV sales were still up in Europe, but only 3.8% versus a growth of 43.3% in the first quarter of 2023.</p><p>The first models of EV were quite pricey and taken up by a more wealthy, less price-sensitive clientele. China is by far the largest market for EVs, the U.S. EV market is much smaller and even considerably smaller than the European market:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9742c8a8a6bba8be2cb9935c5c6e9735\" alt=\"Electrek\" title=\"Electrek\" tg-width=\"1024\" tg-height=\"600\"/><span>Electrek</span></p><p>Of all new EVs sold globally in December last year, 69 percent were in China, according to the research firm Rystad Energy.</p><p>This has two quite nasty consequences, declining growth and price competition that led to a 25% price cuts for Tesla last year. These not only reinforce the revenue slump, it also eats margins, which were already on a downward slope:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/791a40508f06d84b2f67819f7061c7c8\" alt=\"Data by YCharts\" title=\"Data by YCharts\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"491\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>This isn't surprising, as more EVs have entered the market and Tesla's market share has declined from around 80% in 2019 to 56% last year.</p><p>One might wonder whether Tesla is hurt, especially as most of its U.S. competitors can at least fall back on their internal combustion engine ("ICE") sales, which are profitable (contrary to their EV efforts).</p><p>On the other hand, Tesla is profitable with its EV production while we're not aware that any of its domestic competitors are, as Tesla enjoyed a huge first-mover advantage.</p><p>But the combination of increasing competition and a marked slowdown in market growth is a pretty nasty one as well for Tesla, leading to a growth slowdown (even negative growth in Q1/24) and margin erosion.</p><p>While the Chinese EV market is also slowing down (from 36% in 2023 to an estimated 25% this year), it's still growing considerably faster compared to the U.S. market, giving Chinese producers some advantage, and China just introduced a 4-year 520 billion yuan ($72.3B) package of tax breaks.</p><p>Not to mention the charging stations:</p><blockquote><p>China is rapidly expanding its EV charging infrastructure; as of August 2022, it accounted for 65% of global public charging points. In May of 2022, China added 87,000 new charging stations, reaching a total of 1.419 million stations... a January 2022 announcement revealed plans to establish 20 million EV charging facilities by 2025.</p></blockquote><p>That's quite a difference with the U.S. (our emphasis):</p><blockquote><p>Two years ago, the U.S. government provided $7.5bn to create a national network of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. <strong>To date, seven have been built</strong>.</p></blockquote><p>That date was not long ago, March 29, 2024! And what's behind the slowdown?</p><blockquote><p>the biggest barrier to widespread adoption of EVs is cost, which remains too high for most consumers. The average electric car sells for just under €70,000 (£59,900) in the US and about €65,000 in Europe, according to research by Jato Dynamics. That compares to a typical cost of just over €30,000 in China</p></blockquote><h2 id=\"id_111328780\">Transition to mass market</h2><p>EV's made up 7.6% of new car sales in the U.S. in 2023, selling 1.2M cars with Tesla taking 55% of that.</p><p>To revive market growth, EVs need to become cheaper, but at present Tesla's cheapest model is the Model 3, which starts at $38,990 as of April 2024.</p><p>While that's a lot better than its older models, it's not quite cheap enough, especially given the fact that Chinese competition can produce a host of models that are much cheaper still.</p><p>For instance, BYD has several models that sell for far less, like:</p><ul style=\"\"><li><p>The new Qin Plus DM-i variant is called the Glory Edition, a plug-in hybrid retailing a just over $11K.</p></li><li><p>The Destroyer 05 is a hybrid that sells at $11K.</p></li><li><p>The Seagull is an EV that costs $9.7K in China (the most expensive version is still only $12K).</p></li><li><p>The new Dolphin Honor, which sells for less than $14K.</p></li><li><p>The ATTO 3 electric SUV for $16.6K, which was the best-selling EV in Sweden in July 2023.</p></li></ul><p>Some European companies are also planning to come out with cheaper models, like Renault with a new Twingo, although we'll have to wait until 2026 for that to happen. But it's mostly the Chinese who are invading the mass market segment.</p><h2 id=\"id_204883828\">Chinese competitive advantage</h2><p>As we argued much more extensively in our article on BYD, its competitive advantage consists of multiple layers that enable it to produce these cheap EVs (and hybrids), like producing its own batteries, its integrated production, and benefiting from a much larger and more competitive home market with plenty of government support.</p><p>This is all the more threatening because Tesla is quite dependent on the Chinese market, with about one-third of its global volume being sold in China, where it also has a plant.</p><p>Indeed, Tesla's Q1 miss (as well as BYD's Q1 disappointment) might very well have been mostly the result of its sales in China., where the market is also slowing down and plagued by a price war. What's more concerning is:</p><blockquote><p>CEO Elon Musk appears to have backed away from the price-cuts strategy this year, however. Goldstein said that's a sign he knows Tesla can't win the price war and remain profitable.</p></blockquote><h2 id=\"id_2889247564\">Too few models</h2><p>Another headwind is that Tesla has only 4 models, and these are all quite old. The two best-selling Tesla models, Model 3 is 7 years old and Model Y is 5 years old. Compare that to BYD:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/265fa8bbdef1ae72122ee490a7431564\" alt=\"CNN\" title=\"CNN\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"423\"/><span>CNN</span></p><p>Tesla gets undercut at the low end by the Chinese, where Tesla doesn't have an offering. One could argue that this isn't necessarily a problem, as the low-end segment tends to be much less profitable. However, it's where most of the growth is.</p><p>So Tesla could do well to offer a product there and there were plans to introduce a $25K Model 2, but these plans seem to have been canceled, which prompted Tesla cofounder Martin Eberhard to express concerns:</p><blockquote><p>We've both read in the news, Tesla delaying or eliminating their low-end Model 2 program, which is a shame for them, but it's a sign that China has a chance to really spread there</p></blockquote><p>Could it be that, just as they gave up on price cuts, Tesla realized it couldn't compete with the Chinese in the low-end segment?</p><p>But even in the higher segments, Tesla is facing increased competition, including the Model 3 from BYD's Seal (also note how BYD introduced 3 new EVs in one year and how that compares with Tesla).</p><p>But Model 3 is already facing competition from the likes of BMW (the i4), Polestar 2, and Hyundai with its Ioniq 6. Then there is the Xiaomi SU7, introduced in March with a starting price of $30K receiving a whopping 89K firm orders in the first 24 hours. This indicates a whole new dimension of competition:</p><blockquote><p>Similar to the success of Huawei's Aito M7, the disruption brought about by Xiaomi EV goes beyond the product itself and stems from an effective combination of successful marketing, branding, and to a greater extent, an established ecosystem, the team said. Thus, competing with tech veterans appears to be an uphill, but inevitable, battle for auto OEMs.</p></blockquote><p>Even Tesla's Cybertruck is getting competition from BYD (and it's not the only one).</p><p>While there is something to say for Tesla to stay in its lane and not try to compete with the Chinese head-on in the lower segments, it is facing increasing competition in the more profitable higher segments as well, and most of the growth is in the lower segments.</p><p>Another illustration of that is Apple abandoning its planned EV, where its Chinese counterpart Xiaomi apparently succeeds.</p><p>So, while some have suggested Musk may need to abandon one of his key 2024 strategies - prioritizing market share over profitability - that strategy is facing plenty of obstacles as well.</p><h2 id=\"id_3222949055\">Trade Tensions</h2><p>At present, at least the U.S. market is relatively shielded from Chinese competition as a result of a 25% tariff on Chinese EVs. But Tesla can't survive on the U.S. market alone as Chinese EVs are moving aggressively into a host of third countries, so Tesla isn't shielded from Chinese competition.</p><p>And even the U.S. shield isn't impermeable, BYD has plans for a plant in Mexico, which by virtue of the North American Trade Deal would enable it to sell cars from that plant evading the tariff.</p><p>And the trade tensions could very well escalate. EV production capacity in China is well above what their domestic market can bear, and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has warned China that it can't export its way out of overcapacity and decimate new industries like alternative energy and EVs.</p><p>It doesn't seem likely she has met a receptive ear, and things could very well escalate further should Donald Trump, who threatened across-the-board tariffs on Chinese goods, become President again in November (emphasis added):</p><blockquote><p><strong>By setting universal baseline tariffs on a majority of foreign goods</strong>, the former president said Americans would see taxes decrease as tariffs increase. His proposal also includes a four-year plan to phase out all Chinese imports of essential goods, as well as stopping China from buying up America and stopping the investment of US companies in China. Trump also said in February that he would consider imposing a tariff upward of 60% on all Chinese imports if he's reelected.</p></blockquote><p>That would open up Tesla to retaliatory actions and/or a Chinese consumer boycott.</p><h2 id=\"id_3440629057\">Elon Musk brand</h2><p>Some analysts argue that Musk has sullied his Tesla brand, as one could argue that he rails against a perceived "liberal elite" who were more likely to buy Teslas.</p><p>It's difficult to measure this, but there is something concerning. Tesla sales have slumped more than other EV brands in the U.S. (our emphasis):</p><blockquote><p>But, upon closer inspection, what seems like widespread disinterest in electric vehicles may reflect, largely, less interest in Tesla. Some automakers, including <strong>Audi, BMW, Mercedes, and Rivian, are reporting EV sales growth of more than 50% over the past year</strong>, noted Stephanie Valdez Streaty, an analyst with Cox Automotive, in a presentation summarizing industry trends in the new year. Ford later said its EV sales were up 86%... <strong>Between the first quarter of 2023 and the first quarter of 2024, US electric vehicle sales grew an estimated 15%</strong>, according to a recent report by Cox Automotive. <strong>But, if you leave out Tesla, sales of other electric vehicles, as a group, were up 33%</strong>.</p></blockquote><p>So it does like Tesla was disproportionately hit. Whether this has anything to do with Musk's antics scaring certain buyers off is not something we can establish here, but it's not likely to have helped.</p><h2 id=\"id_1716460758\">Culture wars</h2><p>Apart from the possibility that Musk is estranging some of his most likely buyers by plunging into the deep end of the culture wars, EVs themselves have become a ping pong ball in the culture wars.</p><p>The tone about the slowdown of EV sales in the reporting of some of the conservative press borders on the jubilant.</p><p>What is curious is that Musk has associated himself with Trump, which from a Tesla business perspective is odd as a Trump government is liable to throw quite a bit of sand in the wheels of the energy transition, should he get elected in November.</p><p>Trump is likely to morph these cultural headwinds into actual policy, for instance by reversing much of Biden's IRA:</p><blockquote><p>Goldman Sachs analysts have also argued that any reduction in the number of vehicles eligible for purchase credits tied to the Inflation Reduction Act could affect between 5% and 15% of total EV demand, while an outright repeal "could affect 10% to 30% of demand."</p></blockquote><p>Then there is this:</p><blockquote><p>Trump has promised to roll back new car pollution rules at the Environmental Protection Agency that could require electric vehicles to account for up to two-thirds of new cars sold in the US by 2032.</p></blockquote><p>This could really slow down the adoption of EVs in the U.S., and could even bifurcate the world's car market into an ICE block and an EV block, at least until the arrival of next-generation batteries swings the economic advantage definitely towards EVs.</p><p>How Tesla would fare in such an environment is anybody's guess, we certainly don't underestimate its capacity for reinventing itself, but the environment in which it operates could become substantially more problematic than it already is today.</p><h2 id=\"id_2540597367\">U.S. protection</h2><p>Even though Tesla is losing market share in its home market as Detroit is in on the game, it has some protection against the Chinese in the form of a 25% import target.</p><p>While Elon Musk has been "begging" for high trade protection, it runs afoul of US climate policy, it's futile to a considerable extent as the Chinese can build plants in Mexico which of course has recourse to the North American free trade agreement with the U.S.</p><p>And Chinese plants in Mexico would run afoul of another goal of the Biden administration (and presumably also of any incoming Trump administration) to build up domestic manufacturing capacity in industries of the future.</p><p>There are other tricks possible, like keeping Chinese cars out by considering their internet connection a national security risk, it risks making EVs more expensive in the U.S. compared to elsewhere.</p><p>As the experience with the emergence of Japanese car manufacturers from the 1970s onward has shown, ultimately it's better to adapt to the competition (which Detroit did by largely copying the Toyota production methods).</p><h2 id=\"id_1347531586\">Finances</h2><p>As we have seen above, growth has come to a screeching halt and increased competition and price wars have reduced margins.</p><p>The situation is serious enough for Musk to realize that he cannot win a price war with the Chinese, so he has given up on market share and concentrates on profitability instead, where growth is also topping out, although Q4/23 produced a sharp revival at least in net income:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/f20abe9d34681059b8811dfcc7482ebc\" alt=\"Data by YCharts\"

YCharts</span></p><p>Valuation metrics have come down from what can only be considered extreme heights, but these are still pretty lofty given the growth slowdown and margin contraction.</p><h2 id=\"id_1528688147\">Conclusion</h2><p>The company is facing a barrage of obstacles, few of which it has much, if any, control over:</p><ul style=\"\"><li><p>No recent new models.</p></li><li><p>No low-segment model, where most of the growth is.</p></li><li><p>Disappointing growth and losing market share.</p></li><li><p>Increasing competition, especially from the Chinese.</p></li><li><p>A price war.</p></li><li><p>Brand problems.</p></li><li><p>Trade tensions with China.</p></li></ul><p>Basically, where they compete is an increasingly crowded place where growth is disappearing in large parts and competitors gaining on Tesla's market share.</p><p>With the delay or even cancellation of the Model 2, there will be no move towards the segment of the market that is still growing, and even with such a move, success is far from guaranteed given the strength of the competition, particularly the Chinese.</p><p>Management argues that they are "between" two growth waves, which might very well be true, but the next growth wave will come when infrastructure has been rolled out more fully and especially when a new generation of batteries extends the reach, improves safety, and reduces charging times.</p><p>Tesla was the main driver of the first wave, there are no guarantees it will be a main driver of the second wave, but it's still valued as if it will be, hence our sell rating on the stock. That second wave is also likely to be multiple years out.</p><p>We don't see much reason for Tesla to hang onto much of its premium valuation, and a simple comparison with Ford shows that the downside could be considerable:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9b3d14444474b835aa73d2be5505e485\" alt=\"Data by YCharts\" title=\"Data by YCharts\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"588\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>We don't think it's impossible for Tesla, Inc. to fall below $100, and we're not inclined to buy until it does, unless something fundamentally improves. We await the Q1 earnings release post-market on Tuesday, April 23rd.</p><p>Tesla still has some things going for it, but that will be the subject for another article.

With few catalysts in sight, we would invest elsewhere until the outlook improves.Emanuel M Schwermer/DigitalVision via Getty ImagesWhile it is an exaggeration to argue that the wheels have come off Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) the electric vehicle, or EV, pioneer, it's certainly true that the shine has come off:Data by YChartsAlthough the company has regained the crown of being the biggest EV producer in the world from BYD Company Limited (OTCPK:BYDDF) in Q1, which it had lost in Q4/23, this looks like only a reprieve to us as we argued in our article about BYD.In any case, whether Tesla's the biggest producer or not, the steep decline in growth from 90% three years ago to growth coming to a screeching halt and then going into reverse in Q1/24 (which isn't in the graph above) with a whopping 20% revenue decline isn't inspiring as the company faces a number of problems and threats:Market saturation by first adopters.Difficult transition to mass-market products.No new models.Price competition.The rise of Chinese competition.Geopolitical and trade tensions.Fuel economy regulation.Lack of charging infrastructure.U.S. Market saturationThere is a marked slowdown in the adoption of EVs in the U.S. (our emphasis):Nearly 269,000 electric vehicles were sold in the United States in the first three months of this year, according to Kelley Blue Book. That was a 2.6 percent increase from the same period last year, but a 7.3 decrease from the final quarter of 2023. And amid the quarter-to-quarter slowdown in the industry, Tesla's market share has fallen from 62 percent at the start of 2023 to 51 percent now... Tesla sales fell more than 13 percent compared with the first quarter last year, while most of its emerging competitors saw double or even triple-digit growth.Not only is the market slowing down markedly, Tesla is losing share, a double whammy. Other developed markets aren't doing much better (March 2024 versus March 2023):In Germany, sales plunged by 28.9pc in March, while they were down by 41.4pc in Ireland, 35.6pc in Finland, 34.4pc in Italy and 33.7pc in Sweden.For the first three months, EV sales were still up in Europe, but only 3.8% versus a growth of 43.3% in the first quarter of 2023.The first models of EV were quite pricey and taken up by a more wealthy, less price-sensitive clientele. China is by far the largest market for EVs, the U.S. EV market is much smaller and even considerably smaller than the European market:ElectrekOf all new EVs sold globally in December last year, 69 percent were in China, according to the research firm Rystad Energy.This has two quite nasty consequences, declining growth and price competition that led to a 25% price cuts for Tesla last year. These not only reinforce the revenue slump, it also eats margins, which were already on a downward slope:Data by YChartsThis isn't surprising, as more EVs have entered the market and Tesla's market share has declined from around 80% in 2019 to 56% last year.One might wonder whether Tesla is hurt, especially as most of its U.S. competitors can at least fall back on their internal combustion engine (\"ICE\") sales, which are profitable (contrary to their EV efforts).On the other hand, Tesla is profitable with its EV production while we're not aware that any of its domestic competitors are, as Tesla enjoyed a huge first-mover advantage.But the combination of increasing competition and a marked slowdown in market growth is a pretty nasty one as well for Tesla, leading to a growth slowdown (even negative growth in Q1/24) and margin erosion.While the Chinese EV market is also slowing down (from 36% in 2023 to an estimated 25% this year), it's still growing considerably faster compared to the U.S. market, giving Chinese producers some advantage, and China just introduced a 4-year 520 billion yuan ($72.3B) package of tax breaks.Not to mention the charging stations:China is rapidly expanding its EV charging infrastructure; as of August 2022, it accounted for 65% of global public charging points. In May of 2022, China added 87,000 new charging stations, reaching a total of 1.419 million stations... a January 2022 announcement revealed plans to establish 20 million EV charging facilities by 2025.That's quite a difference with the U.S. (our emphasis):Two years ago, the U.S. government provided $7.5bn to create a national network of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. To date, seven have been built.That date was not long ago, March 29, 2024! And what's behind the slowdown?the biggest barrier to widespread adoption of EVs is cost, which remains too high for most consumers. The average electric car sells for just under €70,000 (£59,900) in the US and about €65,000 in Europe, according to research by Jato Dynamics. That compares to a typical cost of just over €30,000 in ChinaTransition to mass marketEV's made up 7.6% of new car sales in the U.S. in 2023, selling 1.2M cars with Tesla taking 55% of that.To revive market growth, EVs need to become cheaper, but at present Tesla's cheapest model is the Model 3, which starts at $38,990 as of April 2024.While that's a lot better than its older models, it's not quite cheap enough, especially given the fact that Chinese competition can produce a host of models that are much cheaper still.For instance, BYD has several models that sell for far less, like:The new Qin Plus DM-i variant is called the Glory Edition, a plug-in hybrid retailing a just over $11K.The Destroyer 05 is a hybrid that sells at $11K.The Seagull is an EV that costs $9.7K in China (the most expensive version is still only $12K).The new Dolphin Honor, which sells for less than $14K.The ATTO 3 electric SUV for $16.6K, which was the best-selling EV in Sweden in July 2023.Some European companies are also planning to come out with cheaper models, like Renault with a new Twingo, although we'll have to wait until 2026 for that to happen. But it's mostly the Chinese who are invading the mass market segment.Chinese competitive advantageAs we argued much more extensively in our article on BYD, its competitive advantage consists of multiple layers that enable it to produce these cheap EVs (and hybrids), like producing its own batteries, its integrated production, and benefiting from a much larger and more competitive home market with plenty of government support.This is all the more threatening because Tesla is quite dependent on the Chinese market, with about one-third of its global volume being sold in China, where it also has a plant.Indeed, Tesla's Q1 miss (as well as BYD's Q1 disappointment) might very well have been mostly the result of its sales in China., where the market is also slowing down and plagued by a price war. What's more concerning is:CEO Elon Musk appears to have backed away from the price-cuts strategy this year, however. Goldstein said that's a sign he knows Tesla can't win the price war and remain profitable.Too few modelsAnother headwind is that Tesla has only 4 models, and these are all quite old. The two best-selling Tesla models, Model 3 is 7 years old and Model Y is 5 years old. Compare that to BYD:CNNTesla gets undercut at the low end by the Chinese, where Tesla doesn't have an offering. One could argue that this isn't necessarily a problem, as the low-end segment tends to be much less profitable. However, it's where most of the growth is.So Tesla could do well to offer a product there and there were plans to introduce a $25K Model 2, but these plans seem to have been canceled, which prompted Tesla cofounder Martin Eberhard to express concerns:We've both read in the news, Tesla delaying or eliminating their low-end Model 2 program, which is a shame for them, but it's a sign that China has a chance to really spread thereCould it be that, just as they gave up on price cuts, Tesla realized it couldn't compete with the Chinese in the low-end segment?But even in the higher segments, Tesla is facing increased competition, including the Model 3 from BYD's Seal (also note how BYD introduced 3 new EVs in one year and how that compares with Tesla).But Model 3 is already facing competition from the likes of BMW (the i4), Polestar 2, and Hyundai with its Ioniq 6. Then there is the Xiaomi SU7, introduced in March with a starting price of $30K receiving a whopping 89K firm orders in the first 24 hours. This indicates a whole new dimension of competition:Similar to the success of Huawei's Aito M7, the disruption brought about by Xiaomi EV goes beyond the product itself and stems from an effective combination of successful marketing, branding, and to a greater extent, an established ecosystem, the team said. Thus, competing with tech veterans appears to be an uphill, but inevitable, battle for auto OEMs.Even Tesla's Cybertruck is getting competition from BYD (and it's not the only one).While there is something to say for Tesla to stay in its lane and not try to compete with the Chinese head-on in the lower segments, it is facing increasing competition in the more profitable higher segments as well, and most of the growth is in the lower segments.Another illustration of that is Apple abandoning its planned EV, where its Chinese counterpart Xiaomi apparently succeeds.So, while some have suggested Musk may need to abandon one of his key 2024 strategies - prioritizing market share over profitability - that strategy is facing plenty of obstacles as well.Trade TensionsAt present, at least the U.S. market is relatively shielded from Chinese competition as a result of a 25% tariff on Chinese EVs. But Tesla can't survive on the U.S. market alone as Chinese EVs are moving aggressively into a host of third countries, so Tesla isn't shielded from Chinese competition.And even the U.S. shield isn't impermeable, BYD has plans for a plant in Mexico, which by virtue of the North American Trade Deal would enable it to sell cars from that plant evading the tariff.And the trade tensions could very well escalate. EV production capacity in China is well above what their domestic market can bear, and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has warned China that it can't export its way out of overcapacity and decimate new industries like alternative energy and EVs.It doesn't seem likely she has met a receptive ear, and things could very well escalate further should Donald Trump, who threatened across-the-board tariffs on Chinese goods, become President again in November (emphasis added):By setting universal baseline tariffs on a majority of foreign goods, the former president said Americans would see taxes decrease as tariffs increase. His proposal also includes a four-year plan to phase out all Chinese imports of essential goods, as well as stopping China from buying up America and stopping the investment of US companies in China. Trump also said in February that he would consider imposing a tariff upward of 60% on all Chinese imports if he's reelected.That would open up Tesla to retaliatory actions and/or a Chinese consumer boycott.Elon Musk brandSome analysts argue that Musk has sullied his Tesla brand, as one could argue that he rails against a perceived \"liberal elite\" who were more likely to buy Teslas.It's difficult to measure this, but there is something concerning. Tesla sales have slumped more than other EV brands in the U.S. (our emphasis):But, upon closer inspection, what seems like widespread disinterest in electric vehicles may reflect, largely, less interest in Tesla. Some automakers, including Audi, BMW, Mercedes, and Rivian, are reporting EV sales growth of more than 50% over the past year, noted Stephanie Valdez Streaty, an analyst with Cox Automotive, in a presentation summarizing industry trends in the new year. Ford later said its EV sales were up 86%... Between the first quarter of 2023 and the first quarter of 2024, US electric vehicle sales grew an estimated 15%, according to a recent report by Cox Automotive. But, if you leave out Tesla, sales of other electric vehicles, as a group, were up 33%.So it does like Tesla was disproportionately hit. Whether this has anything to do with Musk's antics scaring certain buyers off is not something we can establish here, but it's not likely to have helped.Culture warsApart from the possibility that Musk is estranging some of his most likely buyers by plunging into the deep end of the culture wars, EVs themselves have become a ping pong ball in the culture wars.The tone about the slowdown of EV sales in the reporting of some of the conservative press borders on the jubilant.What is curious is that Musk has associated himself with Trump, which from a Tesla business perspective is odd as a Trump government is liable to throw quite a bit of sand in the wheels of the energy transition, should he get elected in November.Trump is likely to morph these cultural headwinds into actual policy, for instance by reversing much of Biden's IRA:Goldman Sachs analysts have also argued that any reduction in the number of vehicles eligible for purchase credits tied to the Inflation Reduction Act could affect between 5% and 15% of total EV demand, while an outright repeal \"could affect 10% to 30% of demand.\"Then there is this:Trump has promised to roll back new car pollution rules at the Environmental Protection Agency that could require electric vehicles to account for up to two-thirds of new cars sold in the US by 2032.This could really slow down the adoption of EVs in the U.S., and could even bifurcate the world's car market into an ICE block and an EV block, at least until the arrival of next-generation batteries swings the economic advantage definitely towards EVs.How Tesla would fare in such an environment is anybody's guess, we certainly don't underestimate its capacity for reinventing itself, but the environment in which it operates could become substantially more problematic than it already is today.U.S. protectionEven though Tesla is losing market share in its home market as Detroit is in on the game, it has some protection against the Chinese in the form of a 25% import target.While Elon Musk has been \"begging\" for high trade protection, it runs afoul of US climate policy, it's futile to a considerable extent as the Chinese can build plants in Mexico which of course has recourse to the North American free trade agreement with the U.S.And Chinese plants in Mexico would run afoul of another goal of the Biden administration (and presumably also of any incoming Trump administration) to build up domestic manufacturing capacity in industries of the future.There are other tricks possible, like keeping Chinese cars out by considering their internet connection a national security risk, it risks making EVs more expensive in the U.S. compared to elsewhere.As the experience with the emergence of Japanese car manufacturers from the 1970s onward has shown, ultimately it's better to adapt to the competition (which Detroit did by largely copying the Toyota production methods).FinancesAs we have seen above, growth has come to a screeching halt and increased competition and price wars have reduced margins.The situation is serious enough for Musk to realize that he cannot win a price war with the Chinese, so he has given up on market share and concentrates on profitability instead, where growth is also topping out, although Q4/23 produced a sharp revival at least in net income:Data by YChartsWe always find that cash flow usually delivers a better picture as it's less fungible:Data by YChartsBut things are sufficiently dire for Tesla to embark on a significant cost-cutting program, laying off 10% of the workforce (even if at the same time it's asking shareholders to accept Musk's $56B pay package).ValuationData by YChartsValuation metrics have come down from what can only be considered extreme heights, but these are still pretty lofty given the growth slowdown and margin contraction.ConclusionThe company is facing a barrage of obstacles, few of which it has much, if any, control over:No recent new models.No low-segment model, where most of the growth is.Disappointing growth and losing market share.Increasing competition, especially from the Chinese.A price war.Brand problems.Trade tensions with China.Basically, where they compete is an increasingly crowded place where growth is disappearing in large parts and competitors gaining on Tesla's market share.With the delay or even cancellation of the Model 2, there will be no move towards the segment of the market that is still growing, and even with such a move, success is far from guaranteed given the strength of the competition, particularly the Chinese.Management argues that they are \"between\" two growth waves, which might very well be true, but the next growth wave will come when infrastructure has been rolled out more fully and especially when a new generation of batteries extends the reach, improves safety, and reduces charging times.Tesla was the main driver of the first wave, there are no guarantees it will be a main driver of the second wave, but it's still valued as if it will be, hence our sell rating on the stock. That second wave is also likely to be multiple years out.We don't see much reason for Tesla to hang onto much of its premium valuation, and a simple comparison with Ford shows that the downside could be considerable:Data by YChartsWe don't think it's impossible for Tesla, Inc. to fall below $100, and we're not inclined to buy until it does, unless something fundamentally improves. We await the Q1 earnings release post-market on Tuesday, April 23rd.Tesla still has some things going for it, but that will be the subject for another article. For now, it's too little for us.Editor's Note: This article discusses one or more securities that do not trade on a major U.S. exchange.

No one expects 457,000 units, though. Analysts don’t update numbers at the same rate.</p><p>The most recent estimates coming from the Street are in the 425,000 range. Wedbush analyst Dan Ives says anything above 420,000 would be a relief, and investors are bracing for a number that could come in below 410,000 units.</p><p>It probably isn’t going to be that bad. On Friday afternoon, Tesla tweeted to say it produced its six millionth vehicle.</p><p>Given all the past production and sales numbers Tesla releases each quarter, the EV giant likely produced about 440,00 units in the first quarter, through March 29. Accounting for potential production on Mar. 30 and Mar. 31, Tesla might have produced 450,000 units in the first quarter.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Production, of course, isn’t sales. And there is typically a gap between production and sales figures. Lately, the gap has averaged about 15,000 units a quarter.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">A reasonable, and conservative, first-quarter estimate, based on the tweet, is somewhere between 425,000 and 435,000 units.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">That is only a guess. Inventories could have grown in the quarter—or fallen. Still, the tweet offers investors another way to think about the quarterly number due on April 2.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Something around 430,000 units should be good enough to boost the stock.

Either way, it’s hard <em>not</em> to have an opinion about electric vehicle manufacturer <strong>Tesla </strong>(NASDAQ:<strong>TSLA</strong>). Currently, the prevailing sentiment is very negative about TSLA stock. If you’re a true contrarian investor, though, then now’s a great time to pick up some Tesla shares.</p><p>Granted, it might be difficult to invest in Tesla with confidence if you’re concerned about the company’s mercurial CEO, Elon Musk.

That’s a personal decision that you have to make. However, if you’re willing to focus on the company rather than on Musk’s unusual behavior, then you can still consider taking a share stake in Tesla.</p><p>At least one prominent Wall Street expert seems willing to give Tesla a chance despite the CEO’s quirks. Specifically, Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives recently declared that he’s “firmly in the bull camp on Tesla.”</p><p>I tend to concur with Ives’s argument. He predicted about Tesla, “On the other side of this, this will be a company on its way [to] two and a half, three million units.”</p><p>That’s not an impossible goal. As you may recall, Tesla’s vehicle sales increased by nearly 40% year over year in 2023 to 1.8 million units. You’d be hard-pressed to find another EV-focused automaker that sold anything close to 1.8 million vehicles last year.</p><p>I view Tesla stock as the no-brainer bet for EV-industry investors, and Ives seems to feel the same way. He forecast, “When we look at the next few years, they will gain more share, the leverage will be there, and I believe ultimately numbers, EPS, growth, will come back up.”</p><h2 id=\"id_3670058884\">TSLA Stock Will Recover From Its Drawdown</h2><p>Perhaps it’s understandable if Gerber is frustrated with Musk. However, Tesla is an EV-market juggernaut that sells a lot of units.</p><p>So, are you prepared to look past Musk’s behavior? And, do you agree with Ives that Tesla’s numbers “will come back up?”</p><p>If so, then now’s the right time to invest in Tesla. I view TSLA stock as a buy and expect it to recover fully from the current share-price drawdown. It’s really just a matter of time — and a question of whether you’re willing to tolerate Tesla’s ever-controversial CEO.</p></body></html>","source":"investorplace_stock_picks","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

However, if you’re willing to focus on the company rather than on Musk’s unusual behavior, then you can still consider taking a share stake in Tesla.At least one prominent Wall Street expert seems willing to give Tesla a chance despite the CEO’s quirks. Specifically, Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives recently declared that he’s “firmly in the bull camp on Tesla.”I tend to concur with Ives’s argument. He predicted about Tesla, “On the other side of this, this will be a company on its way [to] two and a half, three million units.”That’s not an impossible goal. As you may recall, Tesla’s vehicle sales increased by nearly 40% year over year in 2023 to 1.8 million units. You’d be hard-pressed to find another EV-focused automaker that sold anything close to 1.8 million vehicles last year.I view Tesla stock as the no-brainer bet for EV-industry investors, and Ives seems to feel the same way. He forecast, “When we look at the next few years, they will gain more share, the leverage will be there, and I believe ultimately numbers, EPS, growth, will come back up.”TSLA Stock Will Recover From Its DrawdownPerhaps it’s understandable if Gerber is frustrated with Musk. However, Tesla is an EV-market juggernaut that sells a lot of units.So, are you prepared to look past Musk’s behavior? And, do you agree with Ives that Tesla’s numbers “will come back up?”If so, then now’s the right time to invest in Tesla. I view TSLA stock as a buy and expect it to recover fully from the current share-price drawdown. It’s really just a matter of time — and a question of whether you’re willing to tolerate Tesla’s ever-controversial CEO.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":212,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":284089793306672,"gmtCreate":1710373786009,"gmtModify":1710373791147,"author":{"id":"3562193648411471","authorId":"3562193648411471","name":"Coldastone17","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/4f1bd3166de45ed68ce52aacd1ca37f1","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3562193648411471","authorIdStr":"3562193648411471"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great???

One bearish-leaning analyst offered a convincing argument that TSLA stock will lose value. So, investors need to be patient and nimble, even if they believe in Tesla’s growth story for the long term.</p><p>Tesla is an EV industry leader, and the company is making a bold move into a country with abundant supplies of an important commodity. The buyers and sellers are in a tug-of-war and Tesla’s shareholders should exercise caution so they don’t get trapped.</p><h2 id=\"id_3808718677\">Tesla’s New Foray in South America</h2><p>There’s no denying that Tesla is a global company. It already has significant operations in the U.S., Europe and China. Soon, we’ll be able to add South America to that list.</p><p>Recently, Tesla registered a company called <strong>Tesla Chile SpA</strong> in Chile. Its stated purpose will be the “import, export, manufacturing, marketing, distribution and sale of vehicles, especially electric vehicles.”</p><p>Apparently, Chile has the biggest lithium reserves in the world, but the penetration of EVs there is low. According to a <em>Bloomberg</em> report, back in February, a team of people from Tesla “visited lithium extraction sites and an energy storage project in Chile.”</p><p>This is interesting, as Tesla isn’t a mining company. Yet, perhaps Tesla can team up with miners in Chile to extract lithium for EV batteries. Right now, it’s too early to know how much it will cost to get this Chilean venture’s operations underway.</p><p>But then, Tesla CEO Elon Musk is known to take risks. This foray into South America may sound risky, but it could provide Tesla with access to a potentially lucrative geographic market.</p><h2 id=\"id_2465326933\">TSLA Stock Gets Hit With a Low Price Target</h2><p>Everybody and their uncle seems to have a different opinion about Tesla. Still, HSBC analyst Michael Tyndall’s “sell”-equivalent rating and a surprisingly low $146 price target on TSLA stock definitely caught the market’s attention.</p><p>Tesla’s fans shouldn’t just ignore Tyndall’s commentary. He seems to cite valuation as a concern, stating, “Tesla is more than a very expensive auto company; its ambition is to be an innovator, which underpins the valuation.”</p><p>Indeed, Tesla’s trailing price-to-earnings ratio of 67.5x doesn’t suggest a screaming bargain. Tyndall added that a “[c]harismatic CEO with a cultlike following feeds into the innovator narrative, but timing of delivery is far from certain.”</p><p>It’s an interesting argument in a time when EV sales aren’t as robust as once anticipated.

One bearish-leaning analyst offered a convincing argument that TSLA stock will lose value. So, investors need to be patient and nimble, even if they believe in Tesla’s growth story for the long term.Tesla is an EV industry leader, and the company is making a bold move into a country with abundant supplies of an important commodity. The buyers and sellers are in a tug-of-war and Tesla’s shareholders should exercise caution so they don’t get trapped.Tesla’s New Foray in South AmericaThere’s no denying that Tesla is a global company. It already has significant operations in the U.S., Europe and China. Soon, we’ll be able to add South America to that list.Recently, Tesla registered a company called Tesla Chile SpA in Chile. Its stated purpose will be the “import, export, manufacturing, marketing, distribution and sale of vehicles, especially electric vehicles.”Apparently, Chile has the biggest lithium reserves in the world, but the penetration of EVs there is low. According to a Bloomberg report, back in February, a team of people from Tesla “visited lithium extraction sites and an energy storage project in Chile.”This is interesting, as Tesla isn’t a mining company. Yet, perhaps Tesla can team up with miners in Chile to extract lithium for EV batteries. Right now, it’s too early to know how much it will cost to get this Chilean venture’s operations underway.But then, Tesla CEO Elon Musk is known to take risks. This foray into South America may sound risky, but it could provide Tesla with access to a potentially lucrative geographic market.TSLA Stock Gets Hit With a Low Price TargetEverybody and their uncle seems to have a different opinion about Tesla. Still, HSBC analyst Michael Tyndall’s “sell”-equivalent rating and a surprisingly low $146 price target on TSLA stock definitely caught the market’s attention.Tesla’s fans shouldn’t just ignore Tyndall’s commentary. He seems to cite valuation as a concern, stating, “Tesla is more than a very expensive auto company; its ambition is to be an innovator, which underpins the valuation.”Indeed, Tesla’s trailing price-to-earnings ratio of 67.5x doesn’t suggest a screaming bargain. Tyndall added that a “[c]harismatic CEO with a cultlike following feeds into the innovator narrative, but timing of delivery is far from certain.”It’s an interesting argument in a time when EV sales aren’t as robust as once anticipated. It’s conceivable that TSLA stock is overvalued as investors put too much faith in Musk instead of heeding his warnings.TSLA Stock: Patience Will Be RewardedTyndall’s price target might shock some Tesla fans. His “cultlike” remark will certainly provoke controversy.After all, Tesla is a groundbreaking company – just look at how it’s boldly venturing into Chile now. On the other hand, Tyndall’s argument does hold weight and Tesla’s valuation is a concern.Therefore, it makes sense to let TSLA stock pull back 10% before jumping into the trade. Just be patient and let the sellers have their way for a while. After that, you can take a share stake in Tesla at a more favorable price.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":297,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"4140090365269462","authorId":"4140090365269462","name":"a4xrbj1","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9d8912bc5b3237f119291ecf0caa4d5a","crmLevel":9,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"4140090365269462","authorIdStr":"4140090365269462"},"content":"Huh?

Either you love the company, or you hate it. Additionally, many market participants may need clarification about Palantir and what the company does. Many investors are on the sidelines and could join the party later when the stock is at a much higher price.</p><p>Palantir reminds me a lot of Tesla (TSLA). I went long Tesla's stock in 2013 and have been invested in one form or another ever since. Tesla was (arguably) the most significant battleground stock of all time, which I wrote about consistently over the last six years. I see many similarities between Tesla and Palantir. Both companies are market leaders at the cutting edge of their respective industries with remarkable growth potential ahead.</p><p>Also, many market participants believe these companies are overvalued and don't recognize the long-term revenue growth potential and profitability prospects for these firms. The primary difference is that Palantir may be where Tesla was about five years ago before its stock appreciated by nearly 2,000%.</p><p>I'm not suggesting that Palantir will shoot up to <strong>$300</strong> anytime soon. Nevertheless, Palantir has much more potential than the market expects. Due to its leading position in AI and remarkable growth opportunities in its government and private sector, Palantir's stock could easily be around <strong>$50</strong> in 1-3 years and may go much higher afterward.</p><h2 id=\"id_1629837805\">So, what are you waiting for?</h2><p>Palantir is one of the most unique monopolistic-style AI market-leading companies operating in a blue-ocean atmosphere globally. Moreover, Palantir is substantially under-appreciated by the market and could expand into one of the most dominant companies in the software space.</p><h3 id=\"id_1885374083\">Palantir - Harvard's Unicorn</h3><p>In 2015, Harvard wrote about Palantir, calling it the "hottest unicorn you've never heard of." Fast forward eight years and just about everyone has heard of Palantir. The remarkable thing is that even back then, Palantir had a $20 billion valuation, servicing clients like the CIA, NSA, U.S. Army, and other essential government agencies.</p><p>In 2016, Palantir already had a firm seat at the big table. President-Elect Donald Trump met with the tech industry leaders at Trump <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWR.AU\">Tower</a> in New York. Seated around the table were tech visionary leaders like Larry Page, Tim Cook, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Peter Theil, and others. However, seated directly across from Mr. Trump was a relatively unknown 49-year-old Ph.D. named Alex Karp (Palantir's CEO).</p><p>Palantir was born in the wake of the 2001 terror attacks, was funded by a CIA venture arm, and initially enabled crucial U.S. intelligence agencies to combat terrorism and other threats. However, over time, Palantir has become far more than a U.S. government contractor, now working with other governments and establishing a firm foothold in the private sector. Furthermore, Palantir has established itself as a global leader in A.I. technology, implying its growth runway is vast and its profitability potential is massive.</p><h3 id=\"id_3421588916\">Palantir's Remarkable AI Potential</h3><p>Palantir's Gotham, Apollo, and Foundry programs already were market-leading software products before the company's substantial advancements in AI. Now, with the recent introduction of Palantir's artificial intelligence platform, "AIP," users can leverage the power of AI to solve the most significant problems facing their enterprises. AIP offers capabilities powered by large language models (LLMs) to various applications. Moreover, customers don't need to change anything as Palantir's AIP seamlessly layers on top of its existing software programs.</p><p>Palantir's platforms are used throughout the public, private, and non-profit sectors. Palantir enables organizations to quickly implement solutions to the most challenging problems they face, allowing them to optimize operations, often leading to increased revenues and improved profitability.</p><h3 id=\"id_1294063085\">Some of Palantir's offerings include:</h3><ul style=\"\"><li><p>Anti-money laundering</p></li><li><p>Applied customer intelligence</p></li><li><p>Artificial intelligence and machine learning</p></li><li><p>Consumer goods</p></li><li><p>Cryptocurrency</p></li><li><p>Data protection</p></li><li><p>Defense</p></li><li><p>Ecosystem</p></li><li><p>Edge AI</p></li><li><p>Energy</p></li><li><p>Federal health</p></li><li><p>Financial services</p></li><li><p>Hospital operations</p></li><li><p>Intelligence</p></li><li><p>And much more</p></li></ul><p>Palantir is not just another software company. As Harvard stated years ago, Palantir is a "secretive unicorn." However, now Palantir is a monopoly operating in a blue ocean atmosphere with limitless potential. Its category-defining technology has enabled it to become a global leader in AI/ML platforms. Moreover, Palantir was ranked No. 1 in a worldwide artificial intelligence software study in market share and revenue. We're still in the early innings of the AI revolution, and Palantir should become one of the greatest beneficiaries of the artificial intelligence boom in the coming years.</p><h3 id=\"id_2412212241\">The Results Speak For Themselves</h3><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/86135aec0c98220c345740f2e0ee9986\" alt=\"EPS growth (static.seekingalpha.com)\" title=\"EPS growth (static.seekingalpha.com)\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"658\"/><span>EPS growth (static.seekingalpha.com)</span></p><p>Palantir recorded its third consecutive quarter of GAAP profitability. Moreover, we see a massive improvement over the nine-cent loss we saw in the same quarter one year ago.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f7f1e2a39e994155d687c2985f9f0dfc\" alt=\"Revenue growth (static.seekingalpha.com)\" title=\"Revenue growth (static.seekingalpha.com)\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"291\"/><span>Revenue growth (static.seekingalpha.com)</span></p><p>Palantir achieved 20% YoY U.S. commercial revenue growth and 10% U.S. government revenue growth. Also, we must consider that this significant growth occurs during a high-interest rate and low-growth economic environment, and sales growth should increase considerably once the transitory slowdown concludes.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f7729ac9c304d0d4755322abc4cbef88\" alt=\"Revenue growth (static.seekingalpha.com)\" title=\"Revenue growth (static.seekingalpha.com)\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"291\"/><span>Revenue growth (static.seekingalpha.com)</span></p><p>The remarkable factor is that while U.S. government growth increased by 10% from last year, total government growth came in at 15%. Therefore, Palantir is experiencing increasing growth with international governments, implying that international government growth should continue expanding, and revenue growth could increase.</p><p>Additionally, we're seeing lower growth in the international commercial segment. However, this phenomenon should be transitory and is likely correlated with slow global growth and relatively limited commercial exposure to Palantir platforms outside the U.S. Nonetheless, we should see a re-acceleration in international commercial development as the global economy improves and exposure to Palantir software solutions increases in commercial markets outside the U.S.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/43b8cb39ef534f68b76c545dee84d0eb\" alt=\"Customer count and billings (static.seekingalpha.com)\" title=\"Customer count and billings (static.seekingalpha.com)\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"289\"/><span>Customer count and billings (static.seekingalpha.com)</span></p><p>Despite Palantir's transitory slowdown in revenue growth, customer count increased by 38% YoY, and billings surged by 52% over the same quarter one year ago. Therefore, we should see a substantial acceleration in revenue growth in the coming years and future quarters. I expect Palantir's sales growth to return to 25%-30% as the company advances in future years.</p><h3 id=\"id_1736599882\">I'm Not Worried About Dilution, And You Shouldn't Be</h3><p>Some market participants have expressed concern about dilution in Palantir's stock. However, this issue has been overblown and taken out of context. Due to SBC, Palantir's share count surged after going public. However, many companies experience a similar dynamic after their IPO. Share count has remained relatively steady for years, increasing by about 15% over the last two years. Moreover, SBC should continue to become less significant as Palantir grows revenues in the coming years. Furthermore, Palantir announced a $1 billion buyback program during its latest earnings report.</p><h3 id=\"id_3510517362\">The Stock Buyback is a Huge Plus for Shareholders</h3><p>Some market participants claim that the buyback is harmful and that a company focusing on growth should not buy back its stock. However, Palantir is different from your ordinary company, and the buyback is a massive vote of confidence by high-level management in Palantir. Palantir's leadership is highly confident in the company's future. Its stock price is still meager, as Palantir's high probability for considerable outperformance is not factored into its stock price at this stage. Furthermore, the buyback has nothing to do with Palantir's growth trajectory, as the company can continue expanding while buying back shares.</p><h3 id=\"id_1279975925\">Palantir - Bullish Technical Set-Up</h3><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/57afdaf982f6077a35c2318a90b3ce34\" alt=\"PLTR (StockCharts.com)\" title=\"PLTR (StockCharts.com)\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"676\"/><span>PLTR (StockCharts.com)</span></p><p>Palantir's technical image is highly constructive here. We see a similar pattern in early 2023 before the massive run-up in Palantir's stock. Therefore, we could see another substantial rally toward the $20-25 range once the current pullback/consolidation phase ends. Palantir's stock got highly overbought as it surged from about $7 to $20, but we've seen a constructive correction since then. We're seeing improving momentum, and the 50-day MA crossed decisively over the 200-day MA, a bullish long-term technical dynamic.</p><h2 id=\"id_2253273141\">The Market is Behind The Curve On Palantir</h2><h3 id=\"id_1815103307\">Revenues Should Top Estimates</h3><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1b6d8bfd481ed31697da777dc44b8edb\" alt=\"Revenue estimates (SeekingAlpha.com)\" title=\"Revenue estimates (SeekingAlpha.com)\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"202\"/><span>Revenue estimates (SeekingAlpha.com)</span></p><p>I rarely see the market so far behind the curve on a company, but a name that quickly comes to mind is Tesla. Tesla outperformed most revenue and EPS estimates as it transitioned into one of the most prominent global companies several years back. Palantir is in a similar spot as the market underestimates its future revenue growth. Instead of the projected 20% sales growth, Palantir could provide 25%-30% revenue growth as the global economy stabilizes and returns to growth. Palantir also should benefit significantly from a lower interest rate environment in the future, potentially delivering 30%-plus annual growth.</p><h3 id=\"id_688211846\">EPS Growth Should Exceed Expectations</h3><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5bee5ba0547bd74c2df8f4f3094dc798\" alt=\"EPS estimates (SeekingAlpha.com)\" title=\"EPS estimates (SeekingAlpha.com)\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"197\"/><span>EPS estimates (SeekingAlpha.com)</span></p><p>We see a similar depressed EPS growth dynamic when considering consensus estimates for future years.

Either you love the company, or you hate it. Additionally, many market participants may need clarification about Palantir and what the company does. Many investors are on the sidelines and could join the party later when the stock is at a much higher price.Palantir reminds me a lot of Tesla (TSLA). I went long Tesla's stock in 2013 and have been invested in one form or another ever since. Tesla was (arguably) the most significant battleground stock of all time, which I wrote about consistently over the last six years. I see many similarities between Tesla and Palantir. Both companies are market leaders at the cutting edge of their respective industries with remarkable growth potential ahead.Also, many market participants believe these companies are overvalued and don't recognize the long-term revenue growth potential and profitability prospects for these firms. The primary difference is that Palantir may be where Tesla was about five years ago before its stock appreciated by nearly 2,000%.I'm not suggesting that Palantir will shoot up to $300 anytime soon. Nevertheless, Palantir has much more potential than the market expects. Due to its leading position in AI and remarkable growth opportunities in its government and private sector, Palantir's stock could easily be around $50 in 1-3 years and may go much higher afterward.So, what are you waiting for?Palantir is one of the most unique monopolistic-style AI market-leading companies operating in a blue-ocean atmosphere globally. Moreover, Palantir is substantially under-appreciated by the market and could expand into one of the most dominant companies in the software space.Palantir - Harvard's UnicornIn 2015, Harvard wrote about Palantir, calling it the \"hottest unicorn you've never heard of.\" Fast forward eight years and just about everyone has heard of Palantir. The remarkable thing is that even back then, Palantir had a $20 billion valuation, servicing clients like the CIA, NSA, U.S. Army, and other essential government agencies.In 2016, Palantir already had a firm seat at the big table. President-Elect Donald Trump met with the tech industry leaders at Trump Tower in New York. Seated around the table were tech visionary leaders like Larry Page, Tim Cook, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Peter Theil, and others. However, seated directly across from Mr. Trump was a relatively unknown 49-year-old Ph.D. named Alex Karp (Palantir's CEO).Palantir was born in the wake of the 2001 terror attacks, was funded by a CIA venture arm, and initially enabled crucial U.S. intelligence agencies to combat terrorism and other threats. However, over time, Palantir has become far more than a U.S. government contractor, now working with other governments and establishing a firm foothold in the private sector. Furthermore, Palantir has established itself as a global leader in A.I. technology, implying its growth runway is vast and its profitability potential is massive.Palantir's Remarkable AI PotentialPalantir's Gotham, Apollo, and Foundry programs already were market-leading software products before the company's substantial advancements in AI. Now, with the recent introduction of Palantir's artificial intelligence platform, \"AIP,\" users can leverage the power of AI to solve the most significant problems facing their enterprises. AIP offers capabilities powered by large language models (LLMs) to various applications. Moreover, customers don't need to change anything as Palantir's AIP seamlessly layers on top of its existing software programs.Palantir's platforms are used throughout the public, private, and non-profit sectors. Palantir enables organizations to quickly implement solutions to the most challenging problems they face, allowing them to optimize operations, often leading to increased revenues and improved profitability.Some of Palantir's offerings include:Anti-money launderingApplied customer intelligenceArtificial intelligence and machine learningConsumer goodsCryptocurrencyData protectionDefenseEcosystemEdge AIEnergyFederal healthFinancial servicesHospital operationsIntelligenceAnd much morePalantir is not just another software company. As Harvard stated years ago, Palantir is a \"secretive unicorn.\" However, now Palantir is a monopoly operating in a blue ocean atmosphere with limitless potential. Its category-defining technology has enabled it to become a global leader in AI/ML platforms. Moreover, Palantir was ranked No. 1 in a worldwide artificial intelligence software study in market share and revenue. We're still in the early innings of the AI revolution, and Palantir should become one of the greatest beneficiaries of the artificial intelligence boom in the coming years.The Results Speak For ThemselvesEPS growth (static.seekingalpha.com)Palantir recorded its third consecutive quarter of GAAP profitability. Moreover, we see a massive improvement over the nine-cent loss we saw in the same quarter one year ago.Revenue growth (static.seekingalpha.com)Palantir achieved 20% YoY U.S. commercial revenue growth and 10% U.S. government revenue growth. Also, we must consider that this significant growth occurs during a high-interest rate and low-growth economic environment, and sales growth should increase considerably once the transitory slowdown concludes.Revenue growth (static.seekingalpha.com)The remarkable factor is that while U.S. government growth increased by 10% from last year, total government growth came in at 15%. Therefore, Palantir is experiencing increasing growth with international governments, implying that international government growth should continue expanding, and revenue growth could increase.Additionally, we're seeing lower growth in the international commercial segment. However, this phenomenon should be transitory and is likely correlated with slow global growth and relatively limited commercial exposure to Palantir platforms outside the U.S. Nonetheless, we should see a re-acceleration in international commercial development as the global economy improves and exposure to Palantir software solutions increases in commercial markets outside the U.S.Customer count and billings (static.seekingalpha.com)Despite Palantir's transitory slowdown in revenue growth, customer count increased by 38% YoY, and billings surged by 52% over the same quarter one year ago. Therefore, we should see a substantial acceleration in revenue growth in the coming years and future quarters. I expect Palantir's sales growth to return to 25%-30% as the company advances in future years.I'm Not Worried About Dilution, And You Shouldn't BeSome market participants have expressed concern about dilution in Palantir's stock. However, this issue has been overblown and taken out of context. Due to SBC, Palantir's share count surged after going public. However, many companies experience a similar dynamic after their IPO. Share count has remained relatively steady for years, increasing by about 15% over the last two years. Moreover, SBC should continue to become less significant as Palantir grows revenues in the coming years. Furthermore, Palantir announced a $1 billion buyback program during its latest earnings report.The Stock Buyback is a Huge Plus for ShareholdersSome market participants claim that the buyback is harmful and that a company focusing on growth should not buy back its stock. However, Palantir is different from your ordinary company, and the buyback is a massive vote of confidence by high-level management in Palantir. Palantir's leadership is highly confident in the company's future. Its stock price is still meager, as Palantir's high probability for considerable outperformance is not factored into its stock price at this stage. Furthermore, the buyback has nothing to do with Palantir's growth trajectory, as the company can continue expanding while buying back shares.Palantir - Bullish Technical Set-UpPLTR (StockCharts.com)Palantir's technical image is highly constructive here. We see a similar pattern in early 2023 before the massive run-up in Palantir's stock. Therefore, we could see another substantial rally toward the $20-25 range once the current pullback/consolidation phase ends. Palantir's stock got highly overbought as it surged from about $7 to $20, but we've seen a constructive correction since then. We're seeing improving momentum, and the 50-day MA crossed decisively over the 200-day MA, a bullish long-term technical dynamic.The Market is Behind The Curve On PalantirRevenues Should Top EstimatesRevenue estimates (SeekingAlpha.com)I rarely see the market so far behind the curve on a company, but a name that quickly comes to mind is Tesla. Tesla outperformed most revenue and EPS estimates as it transitioned into one of the most prominent global companies several years back. Palantir is in a similar spot as the market underestimates its future revenue growth. Instead of the projected 20% sales growth, Palantir could provide 25%-30% revenue growth as the global economy stabilizes and returns to growth. Palantir also should benefit significantly from a lower interest rate environment in the future, potentially delivering 30%-plus annual growth.EPS Growth Should Exceed ExpectationsEPS estimates (SeekingAlpha.com)We see a similar depressed EPS growth dynamic when considering consensus estimates for future years. Palantir is just starting to become profitable; its growth margin is 81%. Therefore, as Palantir's revenues increase more rapidly than expected, its profitability should expand faster than current EPS estimates imply. Instead of the anticipated 20%-30% EPS growth rate, we could see EPS expansion of around 35%-45% in future years. This dynamic of better-than-expected revenue growth and higher-than-anticipated EPS expansion should enable Palantir to maintain a relatively high forward P/E multiple of around 50-60, boosting its stock price much higher as we advance.Here's Where Palantir's Stock Could Be In Future YearsYear2024202520262027202820292030Revenue Bs$2.85$3.6$4.62$5.96$7.75$10$12.8Revenue growth28%30%28%29%30%29%28%EPS$0.33$0.48$0.67$0.95$1.32$1.82$2.50EPS growth43%44%42%41%39%38%37%Forward P/E55575856575452Stock price$26$38$55$74$104$135$175Source: The Financial ProphetRisks to PalantirDespite my bullish projections, Palantir faces several risks.

Then, we saw a significant counter-trend rally into mid-August. However, despite the late summer stock market optimism, it's doubtful that the bear market is over. Recent inflation numbers illustrate that the economic climate remains highly challenging, and the Fed needs to do more. Unfortunately, interest rates are moving higher, and stocks will probably continue dropping.</p><p>Moreover, we haven't seen many of the hallmark signs of a long-term bottom. There should be more blood in the streets, and the ultimate bear market bottom could arrive at around 3,000 in the S&P 500 in a base case outcome. I'm capitalizing on the volatility by hedging and buying high-quality stocks on big dips.</p><p>The Technical Image - Very Bearish Now</p><p><b>SPX 1-Year Chart</b></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/86a0e3641f8acc8cb2a23a7d95ff08fd\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"676\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>SPX(StockCharts.com )</p><p>The S&P 500's bear market began right around the start of 2022. Since the bearish trend began, we've seen a series of lower highs and lower lows. The most recent high occurred in mid-August when I put out a near-term top alert. Now, things are becoming more bearish. After the recent high, the market attempted to rebound but got smacked down by Jerome Powell's Jackson Hole remarks. More recently, the market tried to muster another rally, but the higher-than-anticipated inflation numbers brought a quick end to that attempt.</p><p>Now, we're looking at an increasingly bearish technical image as the SPX is putting in a pessimistic head and shoulders pattern and is on the verge of busting through critical 3,900 support. Once below this level, the S&P 500 should at least retest the prior low around 3,700-3,600. However, a likelier scenario is that the S&P will make a lower low, dropping the SPX down into the 3,400-3,000 range next.</p><h2>What Do Jackson Hole And Inflation Have In Common?</h2><p>At Jackson Hole, we learned just how intent the Fed is on battling inflation and how bearish this phenomenon is for the stock market. I wrote about the Fed's bearish symposium several weeks ago. The key takeaway from Chair Powell's speech is that inflation is much more persistent and challenging to deal with than previously expected. The Fed must do much more to lower inflation. The dynamic of high-interest rates, slower growth, and a worsening labor market will bring substantial pain to households and businesses.</p><p>Now, Let's Look At Inflation</p><p><b>CPI Inflation</b></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6e415ae81767865727859c61ace2822d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"313\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>CPI inflation(TradingEconomics.com )</p><p>While inflation has decreased from the 9.1% reading, it remains remarkably high. Inflation is running hotter than we've seen in about 40 years now. The primary issue is that the Fed has been raising interest rates and implementing other tightening measures like QT, but we're seeing a minimal effect on inflation. Therefore, the Fed needs to do more. However, more tightening will further constrict economic growth and decrease consumer confidence. Additionally, higher inflation, lower growth, and worsening spending negatively impact corporate profits and should lead to more pain as we advance.</p><h2>Don't Fight The Fed</h2><p>Wise people have told me, "you don't fight the Fed." You don't want to fight the Fed when the central bank is easing. We saw ultra-loose monetary policy since the 2008 financial crisis, and stocks did great for much of that time. However, we are in a completely different economic environment now. As the Fed pulls liquidity out of markets, the cost of borrowing increases, growth slows, sentiment worsens, and risk assets deflate. Furthermore, we've underestimated the severity of the inflation problem and the Fed's commitment to making it "go away."</p><p><b>Rate Probabilities</b></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/50e5b344a6418c8597ba3e52b0570b80\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"496\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Fed Watch(CMEGroup.com )</p><p>Just one month ago, the market expected a 50 basis point hike at the upcoming Fed meeting. There is about a 25% probability that we may see a 100 basis point move. Whether we see a 75 basis point hike or a full 1% increase next week is not that relevant. The fact is that the Fed is intent on increasing interest rates until inflation is under control. Unfortunately, the benchmark will be above 3% after next week's meeting. With rates at such elevated levels, economic growth will weaken further, and there is no telling when the inflation problem may end.</p><h2>Uncertainty Ahead For Stocks</h2><p>There is increased uncertainty surrounding inflation, growth, Fed tightening, the consumer, recession, corporate earnings, and much more. Typically, I would say that the stock market will climb the wall of worry, but this wall of worry may be too high to climb.</p><p>One of the most troubling factors is that we don't know how deep the downturn will cut into corporate results. We already see declining revenues, worsening margins, and fewer profits at major corporations. However, these declines could continue, and future downward earnings revisions could persist. Additionally, valuations remain relatively high, and this dynamic could mean lower stock prices before this bear market gets sorted out.</p><h2>The Valuation Dynamic</h2><p><b>The Shiller P/E Ratio</b></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/32d6272d7dbe21608d8468cf653f5ad0\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"301\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Shiller P/E ratio(multpl.com)</p><p>We see the Shiller P/E coming down lately, but the drop has just begun. We can see that once the Shiller P/E drops, it rarely stops until a relatively low has been achieved. We should see the CAPE P/E ratio decline as the economy weakens, earnings decrease, and valuations come down. A reasonably conservative target could be a Shiller P/E ratio of approximately 20. While the historical mean is only 17, the market has become accustomed to higher P/E ratio valuations in recent years. Therefore, we may see increased buy interest around the 20 level, if the SPX doesn't overshoot to the downside. A decline to a 20 Shiller P/E ratio would equate to an approximately 28% drop from current levels, roughly coinciding with the 2,800 level in the S&P 500. Therefore, my ultimate bottom in the S&P 500 target remains at 3,000. However, the market may overshoot lower into the 2,800-2,400 range in a bearish case outcome.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>The S&P 500: There Will Be Blood</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nThe S&P 500: There Will Be Blood\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-09-19 14:55 GMT+8 <a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4541687-sp-500-there-will-be-blood><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryThe S&P 500 and stocks, in general, are dropping again.Despite an optimistic run in the summer, the reality is setting in once again.Inflation is more persistent than expected, and the Fed ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4541687-sp-500-there-will-be-blood\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{".SPX":"S&P 500 Index","SPY":"标普500ETF"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4541687-sp-500-there-will-be-blood","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1177047620","content_text":"SummaryThe S&P 500 and stocks, in general, are dropping again.Despite an optimistic run in the summer, the reality is setting in once again.Inflation is more persistent than expected, and the Fed likely has to do much more tightening.Many stocks are still expensive, and valuations remain relatively high.The ultimate bottom for the S&P 500 may come at 3,000 or lower. I am hedging and buying high-quality stocks on big dips.The S&P 500/SPX (SP500) hit a low of around 3,640 in mid-June, roughly a 25% drop from the top. Then, we saw a significant counter-trend rally into mid-August. However, despite the late summer stock market optimism, it's doubtful that the bear market is over. Recent inflation numbers illustrate that the economic climate remains highly challenging, and the Fed needs to do more. Unfortunately, interest rates are moving higher, and stocks will probably continue dropping.Moreover, we haven't seen many of the hallmark signs of a long-term bottom. There should be more blood in the streets, and the ultimate bear market bottom could arrive at around 3,000 in the S&P 500 in a base case outcome. I'm capitalizing on the volatility by hedging and buying high-quality stocks on big dips.The Technical Image - Very Bearish NowSPX 1-Year ChartSPX(StockCharts.com )The S&P 500's bear market began right around the start of 2022. Since the bearish trend began, we've seen a series of lower highs and lower lows. The most recent high occurred in mid-August when I put out a near-term top alert. Now, things are becoming more bearish. After the recent high, the market attempted to rebound but got smacked down by Jerome Powell's Jackson Hole remarks. More recently, the market tried to muster another rally, but the higher-than-anticipated inflation numbers brought a quick end to that attempt.Now, we're looking at an increasingly bearish technical image as the SPX is putting in a pessimistic head and shoulders pattern and is on the verge of busting through critical 3,900 support. Once below this level, the S&P 500 should at least retest the prior low around 3,700-3,600. However, a likelier scenario is that the S&P will make a lower low, dropping the SPX down into the 3,400-3,000 range next.What Do Jackson Hole And Inflation Have In Common?At Jackson Hole, we learned just how intent the Fed is on battling inflation and how bearish this phenomenon is for the stock market. I wrote about the Fed's bearish symposium several weeks ago. The key takeaway from Chair Powell's speech is that inflation is much more persistent and challenging to deal with than previously expected. The Fed must do much more to lower inflation. The dynamic of high-interest rates, slower growth, and a worsening labor market will bring substantial pain to households and businesses.Now, Let's Look At InflationCPI InflationCPI inflation(TradingEconomics.com )While inflation has decreased from the 9.1% reading, it remains remarkably high. Inflation is running hotter than we've seen in about 40 years now. The primary issue is that the Fed has been raising interest rates and implementing other tightening measures like QT, but we're seeing a minimal effect on inflation. Therefore, the Fed needs to do more. However, more tightening will further constrict economic growth and decrease consumer confidence. Additionally, higher inflation, lower growth, and worsening spending negatively impact corporate profits and should lead to more pain as we advance.Don't Fight The FedWise people have told me, \"you don't fight the Fed.\" You don't want to fight the Fed when the central bank is easing. We saw ultra-loose monetary policy since the 2008 financial crisis, and stocks did great for much of that time. However, we are in a completely different economic environment now. As the Fed pulls liquidity out of markets, the cost of borrowing increases, growth slows, sentiment worsens, and risk assets deflate. Furthermore, we've underestimated the severity of the inflation problem and the Fed's commitment to making it \"go away.\"Rate ProbabilitiesFed Watch(CMEGroup.com )Just one month ago, the market expected a 50 basis point hike at the upcoming Fed meeting. There is about a 25% probability that we may see a 100 basis point move. Whether we see a 75 basis point hike or a full 1% increase next week is not that relevant. The fact is that the Fed is intent on increasing interest rates until inflation is under control. Unfortunately, the benchmark will be above 3% after next week's meeting. With rates at such elevated levels, economic growth will weaken further, and there is no telling when the inflation problem may end.Uncertainty Ahead For StocksThere is increased uncertainty surrounding inflation, growth, Fed tightening, the consumer, recession, corporate earnings, and much more. Typically, I would say that the stock market will climb the wall of worry, but this wall of worry may be too high to climb.One of the most troubling factors is that we don't know how deep the downturn will cut into corporate results. We already see declining revenues, worsening margins, and fewer profits at major corporations. However, these declines could continue, and future downward earnings revisions could persist. Additionally, valuations remain relatively high, and this dynamic could mean lower stock prices before this bear market gets sorted out.The Valuation DynamicThe Shiller P/E RatioShiller P/E ratio(multpl.com)We see the Shiller P/E coming down lately, but the drop has just begun. We can see that once the Shiller P/E drops, it rarely stops until a relatively low has been achieved. We should see the CAPE P/E ratio decline as the economy weakens, earnings decrease, and valuations come down. A reasonably conservative target could be a Shiller P/E ratio of approximately 20. While the historical mean is only 17, the market has become accustomed to higher P/E ratio valuations in recent years. Therefore, we may see increased buy interest around the 20 level, if the SPX doesn't overshoot to the downside. A decline to a 20 Shiller P/E ratio would equate to an approximately 28% drop from current levels, roughly coinciding with the 2,800 level in the S&P 500. Therefore, my ultimate bottom in the S&P 500 target remains at 3,000. However, the market may overshoot lower into the 2,800-2,400 range in a bearish case outcome.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":34,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":370369749709016,"gmtCreate":1731450438254,"gmtModify":1731450442163,"author":{"id":"3562193648411471","authorId":"3562193648411471","name":"Coldastone17","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/4f1bd3166de45ed68ce52aacd1ca37f1","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3562193648411471","authorIdStr":"3562193648411471"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Dont believe all these traps.

While this appreciation was initially grounded in legitimate fundamental improvements, I believe the rally has now entered dangerous territory driven more by market euphoria around AI adoption than by rational valuation metrics. The current forward Non-GAAP P/E ratio of 158x and EV/Sales multiple of 46x represent premiums that are difficult to justify under any reasonable growth assumptions.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Looking at Palantir's recent operational performance the company has undeniably executed well on its growth strategy. The third quarter of 2024 marked a significant milestone with revenue reaching $725.5 million exceeding analyst estimates by $22 million. This represented a 30% YoY growth rate, notably accelerating from previous quarters. What's particularly impressive is the composition of this growth: U.S. commercial revenue surged 54% YoY while the traditionally stable government segment grew by a robust 40%.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The company's transformation in profitability metrics has been even more remarkable. Free cash flow generation reached $434.5 million in Q3 representing a staggering 208% YoY increase. More importantly, free cash flow margins expanded to 60%, compared to 25% in the year-ago period, demonstrating operational leverage in the business model. This improvement in cash generation efficiency suggests that Palantir has successfully transitioned from its previous cash burning growth phase to a more sustainable financial model.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The addition of new U.S. commercial customers in Q3 alone, bringing the total commercial customer base to 498 (representing 51% YoY growth), indicates strong market acceptance of Palantir's expanded product portfolio, particularly its Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP). The growth in commercial customers is especially significant, as it reduces the company's historical dependence on government contracts and validates its ability to compete in the broader enterprise market.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">However, this is where I diverge from the bullish narrative. While these operational improvements are impressive, I believe the current valuation has overshot what these fundamentals can reasonably support. The market is effectively pricing in not just continued excellence but perfect execution for years to come. Based on Wall Street's earnings estimates, which project 17% earnings growth over the next twelve months, the forward P/E ratio of 158x is dramatically overdone. For context, this gives Palantir a PEG ratio of 6, nearly three times higher than the 2.0 level typically considered expensive.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">What's particularly concerning is the sharp disconnect between Palantir's valuation and both its historical averages and peers. Even among high-growth software peers like Snowflake and CrowdStrike, which trade at rich valuations themselves, Palantir's multiples stand out as extreme.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The core issue isn't whether Palantir is a good company - it clearly is - but whether it's a good investment at current price. The market has pushed the stock well beyond what even the most optimistic growth scenarios can justify creating a precarious situation where any slight disappointment in execution could trigger significant multiple compression. This sets up an unfavorable risk-reward dynamic that investors should carefully consider especially given the stock's spectacular YTD appreciation.</p><h2 id=\"id_1507115959\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Severe Overvaluation</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The reason why I am making an argument for taking profits is mainly because of its currently inflated valuation metrics which have reached levels that are difficult to justify even under the most optimistic growth scenarios. Palantir's current valuation ratios reveal a concerning image of the company's fundamental value and its market price even when accounting for its impressive AI-driven growth trajectory and strong government relationships.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9a996a424f4c3c2f0cf0c0f39208cbec\" alt=\"Data by YCharts\" title=\"Data by YCharts\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"456\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Palantir currently trades at a forward P/E ratio of 158x, representing a staggering 500% premium to the sector median of 25.67x. This premium becomes even more pronounced when examining other key metrics. The company's EV/Sales (FWD) multiple of 46x stands at an astronomical 1,365% above the sector median of 3.15x, while its EV/EBITDA (FWD) ratio of 118x commands a 667% premium to the sector median of just 15.5x.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/429e4771aa892796b95e9f6dd596c772\" alt=\"Data by YCharts\" title=\"Data by YCharts\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"721\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">When comparing Palantir to its closest peers in the enterprise software and AI space, typically high-growth software companies typically command premium valuations, but Palantir's multiples stand out as extreme even in this context. Looking at forward P/E ratios, established players like Synopsys (SNPS) and Cadence (CDNS) trade at 37.2x and 50.13x respectively, while even high-growth cybersecurity leader CrowdStrike trades at a lower multiple of 91.9x. Only Snowflake (SNOW), at 203x, trades at a higher forward P/E, though notably, its EV/Sales multiple of 10.56x is substantially lower than Palantir's 46x.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The bull case for maintaining these premium valuations rests heavily on Palantir's Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) and its entrenched position within government agencies. However, this argument has its own flaws. First, the company's current 30% revenue growth rate (YoY) is impressive. The margin expansion is also impressive but faces natural limitations. Palantir has successfully transitioned from being a cash burning growth company to achieving a net income margin of nearly 20%, with free cash flow margins expanding to 60% from 25% a year ago. However, maintaining this pace of improvement will become increasingly difficult as the company scales.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Competition in the commercial space poses another significant challenge to Palantir's premium valuation. While the company's government relationships provide a strong moat for that segment of the business, the commercial space is highly competitive. Palantir faces formidable competition from established players like IBM, CrowdStrike (CRWD), SentinelOne (S), Oracle (ORCL) and Microsoft (MSFT) with deep pockets and strong AI capabilities.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">My price target for (PLTR), incorporating both growth prospects and market conditions, points to a fair value estimate of $38.50 per share. This target reflects a comprehensive assessment of Palantir's growth trajectory and earnings potential, while acknowledging the premium multiply the market has historically awarded to the company.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Using a growth adjusted valuation framework, Wall Street's median price target of $28 per share appears plausible, implying a potential downside of 47% from current levels. Even if we use more optimistic assumptions - a 25% annual EPS growth rate and a premium forward P/E multiple of 55x - my analysis suggests a fair value of $38.50.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">What makes this valuation situation particularly precarious is the high concentration of retail investors in Palantir's shareholder base, with approximately 50% of shares held by retail investors. This ownership structure could amplify volatility in both directions, potentially leading to rapid multiple compression if market sentiment shifts or if the company faces any execution challenges in maintaining its current growth trajectory.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">My methodology behind this price target, I projected Palantir's earnings growth over the next three years, factoring in the company's improving profitability metrics and market expansion opportunities. l assume a 25% annual EPS growth rate through 2027, which is aggressive but also aligns with the company's transition from a growth-at-all-costs model to one focused on profitability. This growth rate factors in Wall Street's expectations for the AI platform market, which IDC estimates will grow at 41% annually through 2028, but Palantir's scale will make maintaining hypergrowth increasingly challenging.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Applying this growth rate to current earnings projections yields an estimated FY 2027 EPS of $0.70 per share. The target multiple of 55x forward earnings, while rich by broad market standards but because of Palantir's historical premium position within the enterprise software sector. Even this generous multiple represents a significant compression from current levels.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The downside risk scenario deserves particular attention, especially given current market conditions. In a broader market downturn or during periods of multiple compression, Palantir's stock could face substantially more pressure than my base case. During market stress periods, high multiple software stocks often see their valuations compress to levels that would imply a price below $20 per share for Palantir. This risk is amplified by the company's shareholder composition, as I mentioned earlier 50% of shares held by retail investors potentially leading to more volatile trading during market distress.</p><h2 id=\"id_3062713452\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Insider Sales</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The recent pattern of insider selling at Palantir is a significant red flag that investors cannot afford to ignore. According to Jefferies' analysis,</p><blockquote><p>Palantir's CEO having sold more than $1.2 billion of stock in the past three months, representing approximately 14% of his stake.</p></blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/b85c39dba9b6b238fae8955569751f8b\" alt=\"TrendSpider\" title=\"TrendSpider\" tg-width=\"1024\" tg-height=\"654\"/><span>TrendSpider</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">While it's common for executives to maintain pre-planned selling programs through 10b5-1 plans, both the magnitude and timing of these sales warrant careful scrutiny. The uptick in insider sales becomes particularly noteworthy when viewed against the backdrop of Palantir's broader risk/reward profile, which has shifted dramatically following the stock's 687% surge from its May 2023 lows.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Looking at near term catalysts, Palantir faces several challenges that could trigger multiple compression. The company's government business, while strong at 40% YoY growth, may face growth constraints due to budget limitations. As noted in their recent 10-Q filing, Palantir acknowledges that</p><blockquote><p>Until recent quarters, we had a history of incurring net losses, and we anticipate our operating expenses will continue to increase and we may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability in the future - PLTR Q3 10-Q Filing</p></blockquote><p style=\"text-align: left;\">This caution from management stands in stark contrast to the market's current optimistic pricing. While Palantir's AIP platform shows promise, the commercial market's higher churn risk and more competitive dynamics could pressure growth rates. These risk factors, combined with the current valuation premiums and accelerating insider sales, create an asymmetric risk/reward profile that tilts heavily toward risk at current price levels. While the stock could certainly continue its momentum-driven rally in the near term, the fundamental support for current valuations appears increasingly tenuous, suggesting investors should seriously consider taking profits and reducing exposure to more reasonable levels.</p><h2 id=\"id_3996692481\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Time to Take Profits</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">While I am impressed by Palantir's execution and long-term potential, the risk/reward profile at current levels is simply unattractive.

Because of overvaluation at its current market valuation of $60 per share, even when factoring in the substantial momentum in its artificial intelligence initiatives.Data by YChartsThe journey of Palantir's stock has been nothing short of remarkable, surging 687% from its May 2023 lows. While this appreciation was initially grounded in legitimate fundamental improvements, I believe the rally has now entered dangerous territory driven more by market euphoria around AI adoption than by rational valuation metrics. The current forward Non-GAAP P/E ratio of 158x and EV/Sales multiple of 46x represent premiums that are difficult to justify under any reasonable growth assumptions.Looking at Palantir's recent operational performance the company has undeniably executed well on its growth strategy. The third quarter of 2024 marked a significant milestone with revenue reaching $725.5 million exceeding analyst estimates by $22 million. This represented a 30% YoY growth rate, notably accelerating from previous quarters. What's particularly impressive is the composition of this growth: U.S. commercial revenue surged 54% YoY while the traditionally stable government segment grew by a robust 40%.The company's transformation in profitability metrics has been even more remarkable. Free cash flow generation reached $434.5 million in Q3 representing a staggering 208% YoY increase. More importantly, free cash flow margins expanded to 60%, compared to 25% in the year-ago period, demonstrating operational leverage in the business model. This improvement in cash generation efficiency suggests that Palantir has successfully transitioned from its previous cash burning growth phase to a more sustainable financial model.The addition of new U.S. commercial customers in Q3 alone, bringing the total commercial customer base to 498 (representing 51% YoY growth), indicates strong market acceptance of Palantir's expanded product portfolio, particularly its Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP). The growth in commercial customers is especially significant, as it reduces the company's historical dependence on government contracts and validates its ability to compete in the broader enterprise market.However, this is where I diverge from the bullish narrative. While these operational improvements are impressive, I believe the current valuation has overshot what these fundamentals can reasonably support. The market is effectively pricing in not just continued excellence but perfect execution for years to come. Based on Wall Street's earnings estimates, which project 17% earnings growth over the next twelve months, the forward P/E ratio of 158x is dramatically overdone. For context, this gives Palantir a PEG ratio of 6, nearly three times higher than the 2.0 level typically considered expensive.What's particularly concerning is the sharp disconnect between Palantir's valuation and both its historical averages and peers. Even among high-growth software peers like Snowflake and CrowdStrike, which trade at rich valuations themselves, Palantir's multiples stand out as extreme.The core issue isn't whether Palantir is a good company - it clearly is - but whether it's a good investment at current price. The market has pushed the stock well beyond what even the most optimistic growth scenarios can justify creating a precarious situation where any slight disappointment in execution could trigger significant multiple compression. This sets up an unfavorable risk-reward dynamic that investors should carefully consider especially given the stock's spectacular YTD appreciation.Severe OvervaluationThe reason why I am making an argument for taking profits is mainly because of its currently inflated valuation metrics which have reached levels that are difficult to justify even under the most optimistic growth scenarios. Palantir's current valuation ratios reveal a concerning image of the company's fundamental value and its market price even when accounting for its impressive AI-driven growth trajectory and strong government relationships.Data by YChartsPalantir currently trades at a forward P/E ratio of 158x, representing a staggering 500% premium to the sector median of 25.67x. This premium becomes even more pronounced when examining other key metrics. The company's EV/Sales (FWD) multiple of 46x stands at an astronomical 1,365% above the sector median of 3.15x, while its EV/EBITDA (FWD) ratio of 118x commands a 667% premium to the sector median of just 15.5x.Data by YChartsWhen comparing Palantir to its closest peers in the enterprise software and AI space, typically high-growth software companies typically command premium valuations, but Palantir's multiples stand out as extreme even in this context. Looking at forward P/E ratios, established players like Synopsys (SNPS) and Cadence (CDNS) trade at 37.2x and 50.13x respectively, while even high-growth cybersecurity leader CrowdStrike trades at a lower multiple of 91.9x. Only Snowflake (SNOW), at 203x, trades at a higher forward P/E, though notably, its EV/Sales multiple of 10.56x is substantially lower than Palantir's 46x.The bull case for maintaining these premium valuations rests heavily on Palantir's Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) and its entrenched position within government agencies. However, this argument has its own flaws. First, the company's current 30% revenue growth rate (YoY) is impressive. The margin expansion is also impressive but faces natural limitations. Palantir has successfully transitioned from being a cash burning growth company to achieving a net income margin of nearly 20%, with free cash flow margins expanding to 60% from 25% a year ago. However, maintaining this pace of improvement will become increasingly difficult as the company scales.Competition in the commercial space poses another significant challenge to Palantir's premium valuation. While the company's government relationships provide a strong moat for that segment of the business, the commercial space is highly competitive. Palantir faces formidable competition from established players like IBM, CrowdStrike (CRWD), SentinelOne (S), Oracle (ORCL) and Microsoft (MSFT) with deep pockets and strong AI capabilities.My price target for (PLTR), incorporating both growth prospects and market conditions, points to a fair value estimate of $38.50 per share. This target reflects a comprehensive assessment of Palantir's growth trajectory and earnings potential, while acknowledging the premium multiply the market has historically awarded to the company.Using a growth adjusted valuation framework, Wall Street's median price target of $28 per share appears plausible, implying a potential downside of 47% from current levels. Even if we use more optimistic assumptions - a 25% annual EPS growth rate and a premium forward P/E multiple of 55x - my analysis suggests a fair value of $38.50.What makes this valuation situation particularly precarious is the high concentration of retail investors in Palantir's shareholder base, with approximately 50% of shares held by retail investors. This ownership structure could amplify volatility in both directions, potentially leading to rapid multiple compression if market sentiment shifts or if the company faces any execution challenges in maintaining its current growth trajectory.My methodology behind this price target, I projected Palantir's earnings growth over the next three years, factoring in the company's improving profitability metrics and market expansion opportunities. l assume a 25% annual EPS growth rate through 2027, which is aggressive but also aligns with the company's transition from a growth-at-all-costs model to one focused on profitability. This growth rate factors in Wall Street's expectations for the AI platform market, which IDC estimates will grow at 41% annually through 2028, but Palantir's scale will make maintaining hypergrowth increasingly challenging.Applying this growth rate to current earnings projections yields an estimated FY 2027 EPS of $0.70 per share. The target multiple of 55x forward earnings, while rich by broad market standards but because of Palantir's historical premium position within the enterprise software sector. Even this generous multiple represents a significant compression from current levels.The downside risk scenario deserves particular attention, especially given current market conditions. In a broader market downturn or during periods of multiple compression, Palantir's stock could face substantially more pressure than my base case. During market stress periods, high multiple software stocks often see their valuations compress to levels that would imply a price below $20 per share for Palantir. This risk is amplified by the company's shareholder composition, as I mentioned earlier 50% of shares held by retail investors potentially leading to more volatile trading during market distress.Insider SalesThe recent pattern of insider selling at Palantir is a significant red flag that investors cannot afford to ignore. According to Jefferies' analysis,Palantir's CEO having sold more than $1.2 billion of stock in the past three months, representing approximately 14% of his stake.TrendSpiderWhile it's common for executives to maintain pre-planned selling programs through 10b5-1 plans, both the magnitude and timing of these sales warrant careful scrutiny. The uptick in insider sales becomes particularly noteworthy when viewed against the backdrop of Palantir's broader risk/reward profile, which has shifted dramatically following the stock's 687% surge from its May 2023 lows.Looking at near term catalysts, Palantir faces several challenges that could trigger multiple compression. The company's government business, while strong at 40% YoY growth, may face growth constraints due to budget limitations. As noted in their recent 10-Q filing, Palantir acknowledges thatUntil recent quarters, we had a history of incurring net losses, and we anticipate our operating expenses will continue to increase and we may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability in the future - PLTR Q3 10-Q FilingThis caution from management stands in stark contrast to the market's current optimistic pricing. While Palantir's AIP platform shows promise, the commercial market's higher churn risk and more competitive dynamics could pressure growth rates. These risk factors, combined with the current valuation premiums and accelerating insider sales, create an asymmetric risk/reward profile that tilts heavily toward risk at current price levels. While the stock could certainly continue its momentum-driven rally in the near term, the fundamental support for current valuations appears increasingly tenuous, suggesting investors should seriously consider taking profits and reducing exposure to more reasonable levels.Time to Take ProfitsWhile I am impressed by Palantir's execution and long-term potential, the risk/reward profile at current levels is simply unattractive. The combination of:Extreme valuation premiums across all metricsIncreasing insider salesHigh retail investor concentration (about 50% of float)Creates a potentially volatile situation where any slight disappointment could trigger significant multiple compression.For investors sitting on substantial gains, I believe now is an opportune time to at least trim positions and lock in profits. The stock's momentum could certainly continue in the near term, but the downside risks now outweigh the potential for further upside. In my view, waiting for a better entry point would be the prudent strategy for those looking to initiate or add to positions.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":0,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":241568791990528,"gmtCreate":1700005270865,"gmtModify":1700005275244,"author":{"id":"3562193648411471","authorId":"3562193648411471","name":"Coldastone17","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/4f1bd3166de45ed68ce52aacd1ca37f1","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3562193648411471","authorIdStr":"3562193648411471"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"So how Michael from Hsbc..Will Tesla drop more tis week after tat analysis last week??

Wall Street was expecting Tesla deliveries to reach 461,640 for the period ending ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Tesla stock jumps 2.7% in morning trading.</p><p>Tesla posted its third-quarter vehicle production and delivery report for 2023. Wall Street was expecting Tesla deliveries to reach 461,640 for the period ending Sept. 30, according to a consensus of analysts polled by StreetAccount. An independent Tesla researcher, who uses the handle Troy Teslike on social media, was expecting deliveries of 441,000 vehicles.</p><p>Analysts noted that the deliveries miss was tied to longer than expected downtimes of factories in Shanghai and Austin. Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives said the downtimes were likely to have led to ~20k units shift into Q4. "With price cuts mostly in the rear view mirror providing stability in prices going forward, we believe Tesla is now set to be entering the next stage of growth for the company globally with the Model 3 refresh front and center in China and Cybertruck production set to kick off beginning around Halloween," he noted. Crucially, Tesla remains committed to the target of 1.8 million deliveries for the year.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/831a645f34ab7fe91816f87e43a5ae38\" tg-width=\"808\" tg-height=\"636\"/></p><p>During the previous quarter, Tesla reported total deliveries of 466,140 and total vehicle production of 479,700.<strong> </strong>During the same period in 2022 Tesla reported total vehicle production of 365,923 and deliveries of 343,830.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">On its last earnings call in July, CEO Elon Musk cautioned that Tesla would “continue to target 1.8 million vehicle deliveries this year,” but expected third-quarter production to decline slightly following “summer shutdowns for a lot of factory upgrades.”</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Tesla’s head of investor relations, Martin Viecha, sent out a company-compiled consensus to select investors, some of whom shared it publicly on social media. That number showed Wall Street was expecting around 455,000 total deliveries, with a median estimate of 453,128 deliveries for the quarter, based on 25 analysts’ estimates.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Tesla groups deliveries into two categories, Model S and X vehicles, and Model 3 and Y vehicles, but doesn’t report individual model or region-specific numbers.

UBS downgraded Tesla's stock rating from Neutral to Sell, despite raising the price target to $197 from $147. The downgrade comes as a result of concerns over Tesla's valuation, particularly in relation to its investments in artificial intelligence (AI).</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Meanwhile, Tesla has expanded its Model 3 lineup with a new rear-wheel drive long-range variant priced at $42,490, aiming to offer a more affordable option to consumers.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">The company has also postponed the debut of its anticipated Robotaxi service from August to October. In response to tariffs imposed by the European Commission on China-made electric vehicles, Tesla has adjusted the prices of its Model 3 vehicles across several European countries.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">On the investment front, Morgan Stanley revised the valuation of Tesla's energy storage business to $50 per share, while Oppenheimer projected that Tesla's energy storage sales could surpass $3 billion in the current quarter.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">ARK Investment Management's CEO, Cathie Wood, expressed confidence in the firm's flagship fund strategy, with Tesla being one of the top investments.

When it comes to General Motors (NYSE:GM) and Ford (NYSE:F), Citi anticipates robust results that align with its bullish outlook.Nonetheless, the firm suggests that initial stock reactions post-earnings could be influenced by various nuances, advising investors to temper their expectations for the second quarter.In summary, while Citi has increased its estimates and price target for Tesla, reflecting a more optimistic short-term sentiment, the firm's overall position remains neutral due to the stock's performance reliance on future product and technology developments.In other recent news, Tesla Inc. has seen a series of developments. UBS downgraded Tesla's stock rating from Neutral to Sell, despite raising the price target to $197 from $147. The downgrade comes as a result of concerns over Tesla's valuation, particularly in relation to its investments in artificial intelligence (AI).Meanwhile, Tesla has expanded its Model 3 lineup with a new rear-wheel drive long-range variant priced at $42,490, aiming to offer a more affordable option to consumers.The company has also postponed the debut of its anticipated Robotaxi service from August to October. In response to tariffs imposed by the European Commission on China-made electric vehicles, Tesla has adjusted the prices of its Model 3 vehicles across several European countries.On the investment front, Morgan Stanley revised the valuation of Tesla's energy storage business to $50 per share, while Oppenheimer projected that Tesla's energy storage sales could surpass $3 billion in the current quarter.ARK Investment Management's CEO, Cathie Wood, expressed confidence in the firm's flagship fund strategy, with Tesla being one of the top investments. These are among the recent developments concerning Tesla.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":111,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":326629197434992,"gmtCreate":1720767683627,"gmtModify":1720767697613,"author":{"id":"3562193648411471","authorId":"3562193648411471","name":"Coldastone17","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/4f1bd3166de45ed68ce52aacd1ca37f1","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3562193648411471","authorIdStr":"3562193648411471"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Its all manipulated by who else??

That bonds took the news in stride is nice for investors with a toe in each market, but adds to evidence that concern about the economy has become the bigger input to both.</p><p>Rather than rise on speculation that weak data would curb Federal Reserve tightening, the S&P 500 dropped 2.5% on Thursday, while the Nasdaq 100 lost 3.4%. Small-cap stocks lost more than 2.5% and the VIX volatility gauge shot back above 22. The yield on 10-year Treasuries hovered around 3.45%, down from a peak of 3.63% earlier this week.</p><p>“The concern is growth and what’s going to happen to the economy, and is the Fed pushing us into recession,” Mona Mahajan, senior investment strategist at Edward Jones, said on Bloomberg’s “What Goes Up” podcast on Thursday. “Markets won’t ignore the fact that we’re entering a downturn — and so could we head back toward those lows, give up some of the gains that we’ve seen recently? We think that is certainly a scenario that is a credible one.”</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/53d23fd0d5e7c8cff39bf6af275f2547\" tg-width=\"930\" tg-height=\"523\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>In months prior, bad economic news was often taken as good by investors because it suggested the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate increases were working as intended to cool the economy and tamp down inflation. But now a shift may be at hand: Many investors are worrying more about a recession in 2023, with the risk increasing that the Fed could overtighten.</p><p>Data Thursday suggested US economic growth is slowing, with retail sales and manufacturing dropping last month, though the labor market has remained strong. Retail sales fell in November by the most in nearly a year, calling into question the health of the consumer, while several factory measures also showed contraction, burdened by weaker demand, among other things. Meanwhile, regional Federal Reserve banks data showed that manufacturing weakened in both the New York and Philadelphia regions by more than expected — the latter’s new orders gauge fell to the lowest since the onset of the pandemic.</p><p>“Investors took their eye off the ball and were hoping for a glide path into the holidays,” said Mike Bailey, director of research at FBB Capital Partners. “Markets are realizing that we are in for a staring contest between Jay Powell and investors that could go on for three, six, or nine months.” He added that yields on short-term Treasuries rose Thursday, while those on longer-term ones declined, “which would support a theme of a hawkish Fed move near-term, pushing rates up, but also leading to perhaps a worse recession, which might suggest slower long-term growth and lower long rates.”</p><p>The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF, known by its ticker TLT, is on pace to beat the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) for five straight weeks, the longest winning streak since March of 2020. The Treasury fund is outperforming the latter by nearly 10 percentage points in December, poised for its best month since that period as well.</p><p>On Wednesday, the Fed raised its benchmark rate by 50 basis points to a 4.25%-to-4.5% target range and policymakers predicted rates would end next year at 5.1%, a higher level than previously indicated. Chair Jerome Powell reiterated that the central bank would keep rates higher for longer, and played down hopes for a rate cut next year.</p><p>The Fed also, among other projections, updated its forecast for the unemployment rate, saying it could rise to 4.6% next year — and such a hike from July’s trough of 3.5% “has never not caused a recession,” wrote Julian Emanuel, chief equity, derivatives and quantitative strategist at Evercore ISI, who added that no bear market has ever bottomed before a recession has started.

That bonds took the news in stride is nice for investors with a toe in each market, but adds to evidence that concern about the economy has become the bigger input to both.Rather than rise on speculation that weak data would curb Federal Reserve tightening, the S&P 500 dropped 2.5% on Thursday, while the Nasdaq 100 lost 3.4%. Small-cap stocks lost more than 2.5% and the VIX volatility gauge shot back above 22. The yield on 10-year Treasuries hovered around 3.45%, down from a peak of 3.63% earlier this week.“The concern is growth and what’s going to happen to the economy, and is the Fed pushing us into recession,” Mona Mahajan, senior investment strategist at Edward Jones, said on Bloomberg’s “What Goes Up” podcast on Thursday. “Markets won’t ignore the fact that we’re entering a downturn — and so could we head back toward those lows, give up some of the gains that we’ve seen recently? We think that is certainly a scenario that is a credible one.”In months prior, bad economic news was often taken as good by investors because it suggested the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate increases were working as intended to cool the economy and tamp down inflation. But now a shift may be at hand: Many investors are worrying more about a recession in 2023, with the risk increasing that the Fed could overtighten.Data Thursday suggested US economic growth is slowing, with retail sales and manufacturing dropping last month, though the labor market has remained strong. Retail sales fell in November by the most in nearly a year, calling into question the health of the consumer, while several factory measures also showed contraction, burdened by weaker demand, among other things. Meanwhile, regional Federal Reserve banks data showed that manufacturing weakened in both the New York and Philadelphia regions by more than expected — the latter’s new orders gauge fell to the lowest since the onset of the pandemic.“Investors took their eye off the ball and were hoping for a glide path into the holidays,” said Mike Bailey, director of research at FBB Capital Partners. “Markets are realizing that we are in for a staring contest between Jay Powell and investors that could go on for three, six, or nine months.” He added that yields on short-term Treasuries rose Thursday, while those on longer-term ones declined, “which would support a theme of a hawkish Fed move near-term, pushing rates up, but also leading to perhaps a worse recession, which might suggest slower long-term growth and lower long rates.”The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF, known by its ticker TLT, is on pace to beat the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) for five straight weeks, the longest winning streak since March of 2020. The Treasury fund is outperforming the latter by nearly 10 percentage points in December, poised for its best month since that period as well.On Wednesday, the Fed raised its benchmark rate by 50 basis points to a 4.25%-to-4.5% target range and policymakers predicted rates would end next year at 5.1%, a higher level than previously indicated. Chair Jerome Powell reiterated that the central bank would keep rates higher for longer, and played down hopes for a rate cut next year.The Fed also, among other projections, updated its forecast for the unemployment rate, saying it could rise to 4.6% next year — and such a hike from July’s trough of 3.5% “has never not caused a recession,” wrote Julian Emanuel, chief equity, derivatives and quantitative strategist at Evercore ISI, who added that no bear market has ever bottomed before a recession has started. Emanuel recommends a defensive position as the first half of 2023 could remain volatile still.“The pullback in the market today — we aren’t surprised by it,” Nadia Lovell, UBS Global Wealth Management senior US equity strategist, told Bloomberg Television on Thursday. “This is a market that has traded on the hope that the Fed will not do what they say they will do.

I downgraded the stock back in April 2024 when a share was trading for $185. I made the case for not buying the dip, and since then, TSLA's performance can be compared to that of the S&P 500 Index (SP500, SPY) thanks to the rally we've seen over the past three weeks alone.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/4810c62fa48e365d7719d16f562891bd\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"248\"/></p><p>Seeking Alpha Premium, TSLA</p><p></p><p>Despite this phenomenal strength and the growing positive sentiment around TSLA, I don't think the current recovery rally will last long as it is not backed by the company's most important fundamentals as far as I can see.</p><h2 id=\"id_1680935579\">Why Do I Think So?</h2><p>As is typically the case with a thesis update, it's essential to be guided by the latest financial data. Therefore, I suggest taking a closer look at Tesla's Q1 2024 results, even though they are likely already fully reflected in the current stock price given the time since their publication.</p><p>In Q1, Tesla's overall revenue declined by 9% to $21.301 billion. TSLA's Automotive division revenue was the key "negative driver" as it fell by 13% to $17.378 billion, while Services and Other revenue rose 25% YoY to $2.288 billion. The consolidated gross profit margin continued its downward trajectory, slipping from 19.34% last year to 17.35%, according to Seeking Alpha data. As we can see, the Auto margins saw a slight dip from 18.9% to 18.5%. However, as the CFO noted during the latest earnings call, when excluding the impact of the Cybertruck and the ramp-up costs for the Model 3 in Fremont, the margins actually improved slightly. This was thanks to cost reductions and revenue from the new Autopark feature for certain U.S. vehicles.</p><p>In Q1 2024, Tesla delivered 386,810 vehicles, including 17,027 Model S and Model X and 369,783 Model 3 and Model Y, marking a 9% decrease from Q1 2023. We know that the Shanghai factory has been running at full capacity since Q4 last year despite previous production lulls, but this fact didn't help Tesla to maintain its market share in China, which continued to shrink in June:</p><blockquote><p><em>Tesla's share of China's new energy vehicle (NEV) market, which includes both battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids, </em><strong><em>fell to 6.92% in June, down from 11.16% last year.</em></strong><em> However, on a sequential basis, Tesla's sales in China are up 7.33% from May, when the Elon Musk-led company sold 55,215 vehicles.</em></p><p>Source: Benzinga [July 8, 2024], emphasis added.</p></blockquote><p>On the bright side, the launch of Cybertruck sales has enabled the company to increase its global market share to 20%, according to CounterPoint Research. That's 2% less than in Q1 FY2023, but on a QoQ basis the growth looks significant indeed.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/da7c6212bb7fa2d16415c72b3065aa0d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"187\"/></p><p>CounterPoint Research data</p><p></p><p>Tesla's revenue from Energy Generation and Storage grew in Q1 by 7% YoY to $1.635 billion due to high demand for Powerwall and Megapack products. However, such a low growth rate doesn't indicate to me any outstanding demand in the market, to be honest. Anyway, this demand is now "leading Tesla to scale up production in a dedicated Megapack facility." Although perhaps my skepticism is unfounded because Tesla achieved a record high for stationary storage deployments at 9.4 GWh in Q2, nearly double Morgan Stanley's forecast (proprietary source, July 2024 data).</p><p>As we know, the company faced enormous operational challenges, including shipping disruptions in the Red Sea and an arson attack at Gigafactory Berlin; both challenges have been resolved, according to the management commentary. Q2 delivery numbers indicate that it's indeed the case, as the company delivered 33,000 more units than it produced in Q2, resulting in a 7-day reduction in days' supply of inventory. This reduction provided a $1.5 billion boost to working capital (way higher than many analysts expected in the recent past). Overall, the Q2 consolidated delivery figures became the ultimate catalyst for TSLA to start the recovery rally, as it reported 443,956 deliveries for Q2, surpassing the consensus of 437,812.</p><p>My current view on Tesla is quite mixed. On one hand, the company is clearly feeling strong pressure from its Chinese peers and the pricing war keeps damaging the margins. On the other hand, Tesla remains the largest EV maker in terms of global reach and brand strength. I agree with Argus Research analysts who noted recently (proprietary source, May 2024) that Tesla is navigating between 2 major growth phases now: the global expansion of the Model 3/Y platform and advancements in autonomy and new product introductions.</p><p>However, I have some reservations about Argus' other assessment. While the EV industry growth has slowed, they believe Tesla will overcome short-term demand and production challenges, ultimately emerging as a stronger and more efficient EV producer in both the short and long term. I think that despite Tesla's strong long-term prospects (I sincerely believe in Tesla for the next 5–10 years), the short-to-medium term future does not look as promising. In any case, I can't say that we have enough reason to believe otherwise.</p><p>Morgan Stanley remains cautious about Tesla's ability to match last year's delivery numbers, noting that Tesla would need to grow 2H 2024 deliveries by around 6% YoY to maintain volume. I don't think this will be as easy to do as it might seem at first glance.</p><p>One major area of concern I see is vehicle pricing and the automotive non-GAAP gross margin. This could be taken as optimistic for future prices that inventory levels fell, but 0%/low financing incentives and lower production in Q2 are likely to be margin headwinds according to Goldman Sachs analysts (proprietary source, July 2024). Moreover, margins may come under more strain due to potential tariffs later this year.</p><p>Another significant risk is the timing for new lower-cost models or variants. As we know, Tesla plans to begin shipping these new models as early as late 2024 or 2025. So, given the tight timeframe and the use of existing manufacturing lines, these new models may initially incorporate design elements from the Model 3 and Model Y.</p><p>The degree to which these new features and costs will be differentiated and how it all may lead to a growth slow is a big question right now. I think the company can, without even noticing it, cannibalize part of its existing traffic in this way.</p><p>It also confuses me that Wall Street is forecasting 20% earnings per share growth (CAGR) over the next 5 years and TSLA is expected to trade at 40.5x earnings at the end of 2028.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/64fc93da59973793c1e42869f146b198\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"173\"/></p><p>Seeking Alpha, TSLA, the author's notes</p><p></p><p>I don’t see much point in building a DCF model to question such a high premium. Of course, we can assume that robotaxis will take over the world, AI-powered solutions in autonomous transportation will change the game and all that, but none of that can happen overnight in my opinion. The company's stock needs to have a margin of safety that allows it to grow comfortably even at a somewhat high valuation. Take Nvidia (NVDA) as an example - even after a phenomenal rally, it eventually traded below 20x the forwarding P/E ratio, leaving many skeptics (myself included) hanging. But with Tesla, we see that it has no such margin of safety - the rally of the last few weeks is based only on hope and is not confirmed by the fundamentals.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/83926df5c79bcdf1f59e5e58c088ce0d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"302\"/></p><p>TrendSpider Software, TSLA weekly, notes added</p><p></p><p>In the short term, I expect Tesla stock to start testing its way out of the recent price consolidation. The seasonal data on stock trading since 2010 points to a weakening of buyers in late summer - early fall.</p><p>Therefore, I recommend selling the current rip in TSLA stock.</p><h2 id=\"id_891535734\">Where Can I Be Wrong?</h2><p>Actually, I'm taking a significant risk in rating Tesla a "sell" today given its recent momentum, as much of the company's downturn may already be priced in due to its cyclical nature, meaning current margin issues may not persist. Wall Street is already anticipating a decline in EPS over the next 1 quarter only. Thus, an unexpected downturn may not materialize, and the next earnings announcement (on July 23rd) could change the outlook if Elon Musk and his team present some major positive developments. Furthermore, Tesla's long-term efforts to diversify its business and expand its ecosystem may ultimately prove my medium-term, currently pessimistic view on growth potential to be unfounded.</p><p>Perhaps I'm also wrong in calling Tesla as an overpriced stock because the company has many supporters who are willing to pay a very high premium for its growth prospects. This may continue.</p><h2 id=\"id_2310553008\">The Verdict</h2><p>Although, I think Tesla is a solid pick in the long term - more on this in my old articles - I'm still skeptical about the current hope in the air for a quick business recovery. I really like the company's approach to diversify and build a full-fledged energy-efficient ecosystem around its brand, but I don't like the trend in gross/EBIT margins and the very high competition that is getting stronger. Although the company managed to resist its rivals effectively in Q1 and apparently also in Q2, 2024, the trend towards cheaper electric cars continues. Nobody knows how low Tesla's gross margin can go until this is no longer a pressing issue for the company. Given the serious overvaluation (40.5x P/E forecast for 2028), I see some pretty serious downside ahead. Goldman Sachs sees a downside potential of ~16.6%, but given the recent price increases, I think this could be even higher.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/4fa6bd55c28a7cf3c998b67e0820458e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"384\"/></p><p>GS [proprietary source, July 2024]</p><p></p><p>I have therefore decided to leave my "Sell" rating unchanged today.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Sell the rip.Magnus KvandalIntro & ThesisIf you've been following me for a while, you've probably read some of my previous 15 articles on Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock. I downgraded the stock back in April 2024 when a share was trading for $185. I made the case for not buying the dip, and since then, TSLA's performance can be compared to that of the S&P 500 Index (SP500, SPY) thanks to the rally we've seen over the past three weeks alone.Seeking Alpha Premium, TSLADespite this phenomenal strength and the growing positive sentiment around TSLA, I don't think the current recovery rally will last long as it is not backed by the company's most important fundamentals as far as I can see.Why Do I Think So?As is typically the case with a thesis update, it's essential to be guided by the latest financial data. Therefore, I suggest taking a closer look at Tesla's Q1 2024 results, even though they are likely already fully reflected in the current stock price given the time since their publication.In Q1, Tesla's overall revenue declined by 9% to $21.301 billion. TSLA's Automotive division revenue was the key \"negative driver\" as it fell by 13% to $17.378 billion, while Services and Other revenue rose 25% YoY to $2.288 billion. The consolidated gross profit margin continued its downward trajectory, slipping from 19.34% last year to 17.35%, according to Seeking Alpha data. As we can see, the Auto margins saw a slight dip from 18.9% to 18.5%. However, as the CFO noted during the latest earnings call, when excluding the impact of the Cybertruck and the ramp-up costs for the Model 3 in Fremont, the margins actually improved slightly. This was thanks to cost reductions and revenue from the new Autopark feature for certain U.S. vehicles.In Q1 2024, Tesla delivered 386,810 vehicles, including 17,027 Model S and Model X and 369,783 Model 3 and Model Y, marking a 9% decrease from Q1 2023. We know that the Shanghai factory has been running at full capacity since Q4 last year despite previous production lulls, but this fact didn't help Tesla to maintain its market share in China, which continued to shrink in June:Tesla's share of China's new energy vehicle (NEV) market, which includes both battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids, fell to 6.92% in June, down from 11.16% last year. However, on a sequential basis, Tesla's sales in China are up 7.33% from May, when the Elon Musk-led company sold 55,215 vehicles.Source: Benzinga [July 8, 2024], emphasis added.On the bright side, the launch of Cybertruck sales has enabled the company to increase its global market share to 20%, according to CounterPoint Research. That's 2% less than in Q1 FY2023, but on a QoQ basis the growth looks significant indeed.CounterPoint Research dataTesla's revenue from Energy Generation and Storage grew in Q1 by 7% YoY to $1.635 billion due to high demand for Powerwall and Megapack products. However, such a low growth rate doesn't indicate to me any outstanding demand in the market, to be honest. Anyway, this demand is now \"leading Tesla to scale up production in a dedicated Megapack facility.\" Although perhaps my skepticism is unfounded because Tesla achieved a record high for stationary storage deployments at 9.4 GWh in Q2, nearly double Morgan Stanley's forecast (proprietary source, July 2024 data).As we know, the company faced enormous operational challenges, including shipping disruptions in the Red Sea and an arson attack at Gigafactory Berlin; both challenges have been resolved, according to the management commentary. Q2 delivery numbers indicate that it's indeed the case, as the company delivered 33,000 more units than it produced in Q2, resulting in a 7-day reduction in days' supply of inventory. This reduction provided a $1.5 billion boost to working capital (way higher than many analysts expected in the recent past). Overall, the Q2 consolidated delivery figures became the ultimate catalyst for TSLA to start the recovery rally, as it reported 443,956 deliveries for Q2, surpassing the consensus of 437,812.My current view on Tesla is quite mixed. On one hand, the company is clearly feeling strong pressure from its Chinese peers and the pricing war keeps damaging the margins. On the other hand, Tesla remains the largest EV maker in terms of global reach and brand strength. I agree with Argus Research analysts who noted recently (proprietary source, May 2024) that Tesla is navigating between 2 major growth phases now: the global expansion of the Model 3/Y platform and advancements in autonomy and new product introductions.However, I have some reservations about Argus' other assessment. While the EV industry growth has slowed, they believe Tesla will overcome short-term demand and production challenges, ultimately emerging as a stronger and more efficient EV producer in both the short and long term. I think that despite Tesla's strong long-term prospects (I sincerely believe in Tesla for the next 5–10 years), the short-to-medium term future does not look as promising. In any case, I can't say that we have enough reason to believe otherwise.Morgan Stanley remains cautious about Tesla's ability to match last year's delivery numbers, noting that Tesla would need to grow 2H 2024 deliveries by around 6% YoY to maintain volume. I don't think this will be as easy to do as it might seem at first glance.One major area of concern I see is vehicle pricing and the automotive non-GAAP gross margin. This could be taken as optimistic for future prices that inventory levels fell, but 0%/low financing incentives and lower production in Q2 are likely to be margin headwinds according to Goldman Sachs analysts (proprietary source, July 2024). Moreover, margins may come under more strain due to potential tariffs later this year.Another significant risk is the timing for new lower-cost models or variants. As we know, Tesla plans to begin shipping these new models as early as late 2024 or 2025. So, given the tight timeframe and the use of existing manufacturing lines, these new models may initially incorporate design elements from the Model 3 and Model Y.The degree to which these new features and costs will be differentiated and how it all may lead to a growth slow is a big question right now. I think the company can, without even noticing it, cannibalize part of its existing traffic in this way.It also confuses me that Wall Street is forecasting 20% earnings per share growth (CAGR) over the next 5 years and TSLA is expected to trade at 40.5x earnings at the end of 2028.Seeking Alpha, TSLA, the author's notesI don’t see much point in building a DCF model to question such a high premium. Of course, we can assume that robotaxis will take over the world, AI-powered solutions in autonomous transportation will change the game and all that, but none of that can happen overnight in my opinion. The company's stock needs to have a margin of safety that allows it to grow comfortably even at a somewhat high valuation. Take Nvidia (NVDA) as an example - even after a phenomenal rally, it eventually traded below 20x the forwarding P/E ratio, leaving many skeptics (myself included) hanging. But with Tesla, we see that it has no such margin of safety - the rally of the last few weeks is based only on hope and is not confirmed by the fundamentals.TrendSpider Software, TSLA weekly, notes addedIn the short term, I expect Tesla stock to start testing its way out of the recent price consolidation. The seasonal data on stock trading since 2010 points to a weakening of buyers in late summer - early fall.Therefore, I recommend selling the current rip in TSLA stock.Where Can I Be Wrong?Actually, I'm taking a significant risk in rating Tesla a \"sell\" today given its recent momentum, as much of the company's downturn may already be priced in due to its cyclical nature, meaning current margin issues may not persist. Wall Street is already anticipating a decline in EPS over the next 1 quarter only. Thus, an unexpected downturn may not materialize, and the next earnings announcement (on July 23rd) could change the outlook if Elon Musk and his team present some major positive developments. Furthermore, Tesla's long-term efforts to diversify its business and expand its ecosystem may ultimately prove my medium-term, currently pessimistic view on growth potential to be unfounded.Perhaps I'm also wrong in calling Tesla as an overpriced stock because the company has many supporters who are willing to pay a very high premium for its growth prospects. This may continue.The VerdictAlthough, I think Tesla is a solid pick in the long term - more on this in my old articles - I'm still skeptical about the current hope in the air for a quick business recovery. I really like the company's approach to diversify and build a full-fledged energy-efficient ecosystem around its brand, but I don't like the trend in gross/EBIT margins and the very high competition that is getting stronger. Although the company managed to resist its rivals effectively in Q1 and apparently also in Q2, 2024, the trend towards cheaper electric cars continues. Nobody knows how low Tesla's gross margin can go until this is no longer a pressing issue for the company. Given the serious overvaluation (40.5x P/E forecast for 2028), I see some pretty serious downside ahead. Goldman Sachs sees a downside potential of ~16.6%, but given the recent price increases, I think this could be even higher.GS [proprietary source, July 2024]I have therefore decided to leave my \"Sell\" rating unchanged today.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":117,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":298694467895400,"gmtCreate":1713932187267,"gmtModify":1713932191568,"author":{"id":"3562193648411471","authorId":"3562193648411471","name":"Coldastone17","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/4f1bd3166de45ed68ce52aacd1ca37f1","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3562193648411471","authorIdStr":"3562193648411471"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Now suddenly all talking Tsla is good buy?

The main concerns were how Elon would conduct himself and what the product roadmap would look like. There is no secret that I was bearish on Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) for years, and the turning point was the introduction of Optimus. While the Q1 numbers showed a QoQ and YoY decline in revenue and profitability from EBITDA to net income, the market looks as if it's giving the team at TSLA tremendous credit as shares are up over 10% after hours. I am going to eat my previous words and come out and say that TSLA is not just a car company. At this point, you either believe in TSLA's vision and product roadmap, or you don't. From a financial perspective, this wasn't a quarter to get excited about, and looking at the numbers on a trailing twelve-month (TTM) basis, TSLA looks overvalued. The market is forward-looking, though, and TSLA is positioning itself as the company that will crack the code from robotics to autonomy. I have been adding to my position in TSLA throughout Q1, and I plan on adding to my position throughout the rest of 2024 as the next phase of growth could be more explosive than the first phase for TSLA.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/25e539165dc3d613a6d5ce236c6a28db\" alt=\"Seeking Alpha\" title=\"Seeking Alpha\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"388\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><p>On today's earnings call, Elon and the team at TSLA provided critical insights to the product roadmap, and TSLA is now one of my top picks for the next 5 years as long as they can deliver. I am following up to discuss why I am now extremely bullish on TSLA.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/e488d47fc29842650d7fbfffca45d1ca\" alt=\"Seeking Alpha\" title=\"Seeking Alpha\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"217\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><h3 id=\"id_3726187970\">Risks to my investment thesis</h3><p>There are several risks to my investment thesis, and just because I can see the vision doesn't mean it will actually play out the way I envision it. The first risk is Elon himself because we never know what we're going to get. While he says his main focus continues to be TSLA, he is leading several large companies, and there is always a chance that he will go down the rabbit hole and focus the majority of his energy somewhere else. The next risk is execution, and while TSLA has made tremendous progress in several areas, it still needs to finish building FSD, implement a Robotaxi network, improve Optimus, and get past federal and local regulations regarding self-driving. Just because the roadmap looks great doesn't mean it will play out that way and today if you look at TSLA from a pure numbers aspect without taking into consideration future potential, the valuation can look stretched. While the market seems to be buying into the vision, we could see some of its projects get delayed, and the market turn on TSLA just as quickly as it is lifting shares from the recent bottom.</p><h3 id=\"id_1861293871\">Tesla's Q1 numbers weren't good, and the company is still expensive, no matter how you value the company</h3><p>For years, I had valued and argued that TSLA was just an automotive company, but not anymore. Some will agree, and some will argue that TSLA is just a car company, as it's about perspective at the end of the day. I am looking at the numbers and how TSLA is diversifying its business to provide a roadmap of what is on the horizon when its other business ventures come online. In Q1 2023, total automotive revenue accounted for 85.57% of its total revenue ($19.96 billion / $23.33 billion). After the cost of the automotive revenue was factored in, TSLA generated $4.21 billion in gross profit from automotive, which was 93.28% of their total gross profit, which came in at $4.51 billion. Fast-forward a year to the numbers we received today, TSLA generated 81.58% of its total revenue from automotive ($17.38 billion / $21.3 billion). Automotive's accounted for 86.91% of TSLA's gross profit in Q1 2024 ($3.21 billion / $3.7 billion). While the macroeconomic environment hasn't been favorable for the automotive industry in general, the amount of revenue generated by energy generation and storage, and the services business segments increased by 16.55% YoY. Energy generation and storage watched its Q1 revenue increase by $106 million (6.93%) YoY, while services increased by $451 million (24.55%) YoY. TSLA is slowly becoming more diversified, and this helps the narrative about them not being just a car company.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/cbae9763579d5f1fdd18aaba2db2444f\" alt=\"Tesla\" title=\"Tesla\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"344\"/><span>Tesla</span></p><p>This wasn't TSLA's shining moment from a numbers' aspect, and if you look at TSLA as just a car company, then it looks overvalued. TSLA has a market cap of $453 billion and just put up its worst quarter in 5 quarters. Revenue declined -9% YoY in Q1 to $21.30 billion, while its net income dropped -55% and its free cash flow (FCF) was non-existent. Looking at TSLA as a Magnificent Seven stock and also as an automotive company, TSLA looks overvalued today, and over the next several years. For investors who choose to look at TSLA as strictly a car company, its 52.97x multiple on 2024 earnings will look crazy against Ford (F) trading at 6.92 times and GM (GM) trading at 5 times 2024 earnings. As a Magnificent Seven stock, TSLA also looks overvalued as it trades at 52.97 times 2024 earnings compared to NVIDIA (NVDA) at 33.42 times 2024 earnings. Even looking out to 2026, TSLA trades at a forward P/E of 31.44 times, which is more than any of the companies in the Magnificent Seven.</p><p>TSLA's total production in automotives declined by -2% YoY, while deliveries declined by -9% YoY. Many had expected rate cuts to have already started by now, but it doesn't look like they're coming at the May meeting. The higher for longer rate environment is constraining capital for many individuals, and this hurts large ticket items such as automotives. We could be in a higher for longer environment that rolls into 2025 without a rate cut, and there is no telling what the Fed will actually do. Other manufacturers are shifting gears toward plug-in hybrids, while TSLA stays true to the EV market. From a valuation perspective, TSLA is expensive, and the recent bump after hours could be short-lived. If you don't believe in the vision, TSLA won't fit in your valuation model because there are many other opportunities that are attractively priced.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/a4c5f742b2246c0878340df606fd69ca\" alt=\"Steven Fiorillo, Seeking Alpha\" title=\"Steven Fiorillo, Seeking Alpha\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"170\"/><span>Steven Fiorillo, Seeking Alpha</span></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/5ae9d733359b53774295444a75d4f40c\" alt=\"Seeking Alpha\" title=\"Seeking Alpha\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"200\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><h3 id=\"id_2713519138\">The automotive business will fund TSLA's vision and could make it the most valuable company in the market someday</h3><p>While I admit that TSLA is trading at a large premium, I am not buying shares of TSLA for the company it is today. I am investing for 5-10 years forward because of the potential its businesses have. Put valuation aside for a moment, TSLA has created a company that can fund its future endeavors quite easily. TSLA is sitting on $26.86 billion in cash after allocating capital toward GPUs to advance its FSD vision. The operating aspect for TSLA is still profitable, and TSLA has less than $3 billion in debt on its balance sheet. TSLA has put themselves in a position where they are still generating billions in profitability, has a net-debt position of over $20 billion, and is continuing to put vehicles on the road, which will be the foundation of one of its future businesses. This isn't a company tapping the debt markets trying to get proof of concept. TSLA is advancing in several areas, and the vision could make TSLA the most valuable company if the team can deliver.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/afdd424f9b8ff898f17f13f1766d6db0\" alt=\"Tesla\" title=\"Tesla\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"345\"/><span>Tesla</span></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/b4bcc672a033958fc279d78d2bbd7cbf\" alt=\"Tesla\" title=\"Tesla\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"350\"/><span>Tesla</span></p><p>For me, I am investing in TSLA because of 4 things, humanoid robots, FSD, Robotaxi, and the charging network. Since I became bullish on TSLA, I have said that Optimus could be larger than the entire car business. On the earnings call, Elon said:</p><blockquote><p>Optimus is able to already do some small factory tasks in the lab. We may be able to sell it externally by the end of next year. Optimus may be more valuable than everything else combined."</p></blockquote><p>There are roughly 142 million homes in the United States, 84.37 million white-collar jobs, and 63.6 million blue-collar jobs. This is only a small fraction when you think about the global market. The potential for robots is limitless, and the company that is first to market will likely dominate the market. Personally, I will buy Optimus at the $20-$25,000 price point that has been discussed if it's able to do simple tasks such as cleaning and doing laundry. When I purchase one, I am not going to purchase another one just because another company brought one to market. TSLA has a large lead, and if they're able to start selling them externally by the end of next year, they will likely create a large moat in the sector. When I think about the impact on TSLA's financials, Optimus could have its dramatic, especially if there is a service plan attached to it through TSLA's AI network, which allows each Optimus bot to learn as tasks are performed across the network in real-time. If Optimus gains a 10% foothold in homes, blue-collar, and white-collar jobs at a $22,000 price point, it could generate $638.75 billion in revenue. If each bot has a learning plan at $39.99 per month, it could generate $1.16 billion in monthly recurring revenue. The scalability is huge when I think about the global market, from homes to warehouses.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/a1a42b87ee0643c71ba8e95cc2ae757a\" alt=\"Steven Fiorillo\" title=\"Steven Fiorillo\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"302\"/><span>Steven Fiorillo</span></p><p>Next is FSD and Robotaxis. The global taxi market is expected to reach $120.89 billion by 2027. On the earnings call, Elon indicated that cyber-cabs were coming sooner than later, and with the amount of miles driven in FSD V12 it's when, not if. What could be more important is that he said one of the large auto manufacturers is in talks to license FSD from TSLA. FSD and Robotaxis have been 2 areas that I am up in the air on due to regulation. I have no doubt that this is the way of the future and that TSLA is ahead of its competitors in these areas, but they will need to pass regulations to make them a reality. When they get there, TSLA will certainly generate organically from its customer base from FSD. TSLA should also have no problem building out a ride-hailing service, considering they pretty much have the U.S. mapped out from miles driven already. Even if ride-hailing through a Robotaxi fleet isn't a reality until 2030, there is potential for this to become a $10 billion-dollar business if it takes less than 10% of the taxi market. Uber Technologies (UBER) is already generating $37 billion in annual revenue, and TSLA has the potential to disrupt the entire sector in the same regard that UBER did. The feather in TSLA's cap could be licensing because if they license FSD to a large automotive manufacturer, theoretically those vehicles would also be able to utilize the Robotaxi network.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/7d8ff799c08df8b429853416a7afbcfa\" alt=\"Steven Fiorillo, Allied Market Research\" title=\"Steven Fiorillo, Allied Market Research\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"360\"/><span>Steven Fiorillo, Allied Market Research</span></p><p>TSLA now has 6,249 Supercharger stations with 57,579 Superchargers.

The main concerns were how Elon would conduct himself and what the product roadmap would look like. There is no secret that I was bearish on Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) for years, and the turning point was the introduction of Optimus. While the Q1 numbers showed a QoQ and YoY decline in revenue and profitability from EBITDA to net income, the market looks as if it's giving the team at TSLA tremendous credit as shares are up over 10% after hours. I am going to eat my previous words and come out and say that TSLA is not just a car company. At this point, you either believe in TSLA's vision and product roadmap, or you don't. From a financial perspective, this wasn't a quarter to get excited about, and looking at the numbers on a trailing twelve-month (TTM) basis, TSLA looks overvalued. The market is forward-looking, though, and TSLA is positioning itself as the company that will crack the code from robotics to autonomy. I have been adding to my position in TSLA throughout Q1, and I plan on adding to my position throughout the rest of 2024 as the next phase of growth could be more explosive than the first phase for TSLA.Seeking AlphaOn today's earnings call, Elon and the team at TSLA provided critical insights to the product roadmap, and TSLA is now one of my top picks for the next 5 years as long as they can deliver. I am following up to discuss why I am now extremely bullish on TSLA.Seeking AlphaRisks to my investment thesisThere are several risks to my investment thesis, and just because I can see the vision doesn't mean it will actually play out the way I envision it. The first risk is Elon himself because we never know what we're going to get. While he says his main focus continues to be TSLA, he is leading several large companies, and there is always a chance that he will go down the rabbit hole and focus the majority of his energy somewhere else. The next risk is execution, and while TSLA has made tremendous progress in several areas, it still needs to finish building FSD, implement a Robotaxi network, improve Optimus, and get past federal and local regulations regarding self-driving. Just because the roadmap looks great doesn't mean it will play out that way and today if you look at TSLA from a pure numbers aspect without taking into consideration future potential, the valuation can look stretched. While the market seems to be buying into the vision, we could see some of its projects get delayed, and the market turn on TSLA just as quickly as it is lifting shares from the recent bottom.Tesla's Q1 numbers weren't good, and the company is still expensive, no matter how you value the companyFor years, I had valued and argued that TSLA was just an automotive company, but not anymore. Some will agree, and some will argue that TSLA is just a car company, as it's about perspective at the end of the day. I am looking at the numbers and how TSLA is diversifying its business to provide a roadmap of what is on the horizon when its other business ventures come online. In Q1 2023, total automotive revenue accounted for 85.57% of its total revenue ($19.96 billion / $23.33 billion). After the cost of the automotive revenue was factored in, TSLA generated $4.21 billion in gross profit from automotive, which was 93.28% of their total gross profit, which came in at $4.51 billion. Fast-forward a year to the numbers we received today, TSLA generated 81.58% of its total revenue from automotive ($17.38 billion / $21.3 billion). Automotive's accounted for 86.91% of TSLA's gross profit in Q1 2024 ($3.21 billion / $3.7 billion). While the macroeconomic environment hasn't been favorable for the automotive industry in general, the amount of revenue generated by energy generation and storage, and the services business segments increased by 16.55% YoY. Energy generation and storage watched its Q1 revenue increase by $106 million (6.93%) YoY, while services increased by $451 million (24.55%) YoY. TSLA is slowly becoming more diversified, and this helps the narrative about them not being just a car company.TeslaThis wasn't TSLA's shining moment from a numbers' aspect, and if you look at TSLA as just a car company, then it looks overvalued. TSLA has a market cap of $453 billion and just put up its worst quarter in 5 quarters. Revenue declined -9% YoY in Q1 to $21.30 billion, while its net income dropped -55% and its free cash flow (FCF) was non-existent. Looking at TSLA as a Magnificent Seven stock and also as an automotive company, TSLA looks overvalued today, and over the next several years. For investors who choose to look at TSLA as strictly a car company, its 52.97x multiple on 2024 earnings will look crazy against Ford (F) trading at 6.92 times and GM (GM) trading at 5 times 2024 earnings. As a Magnificent Seven stock, TSLA also looks overvalued as it trades at 52.97 times 2024 earnings compared to NVIDIA (NVDA) at 33.42 times 2024 earnings. Even looking out to 2026, TSLA trades at a forward P/E of 31.44 times, which is more than any of the companies in the Magnificent Seven.TSLA's total production in automotives declined by -2% YoY, while deliveries declined by -9% YoY. Many had expected rate cuts to have already started by now, but it doesn't look like they're coming at the May meeting. The higher for longer rate environment is constraining capital for many individuals, and this hurts large ticket items such as automotives. We could be in a higher for longer environment that rolls into 2025 without a rate cut, and there is no telling what the Fed will actually do. Other manufacturers are shifting gears toward plug-in hybrids, while TSLA stays true to the EV market. From a valuation perspective, TSLA is expensive, and the recent bump after hours could be short-lived. If you don't believe in the vision, TSLA won't fit in your valuation model because there are many other opportunities that are attractively priced.Steven Fiorillo, Seeking AlphaSeeking AlphaThe automotive business will fund TSLA's vision and could make it the most valuable company in the market somedayWhile I admit that TSLA is trading at a large premium, I am not buying shares of TSLA for the company it is today. I am investing for 5-10 years forward because of the potential its businesses have. Put valuation aside for a moment, TSLA has created a company that can fund its future endeavors quite easily. TSLA is sitting on $26.86 billion in cash after allocating capital toward GPUs to advance its FSD vision. The operating aspect for TSLA is still profitable, and TSLA has less than $3 billion in debt on its balance sheet. TSLA has put themselves in a position where they are still generating billions in profitability, has a net-debt position of over $20 billion, and is continuing to put vehicles on the road, which will be the foundation of one of its future businesses. This isn't a company tapping the debt markets trying to get proof of concept. TSLA is advancing in several areas, and the vision could make TSLA the most valuable company if the team can deliver.TeslaTeslaFor me, I am investing in TSLA because of 4 things, humanoid robots, FSD, Robotaxi, and the charging network. Since I became bullish on TSLA, I have said that Optimus could be larger than the entire car business. On the earnings call, Elon said:Optimus is able to already do some small factory tasks in the lab. We may be able to sell it externally by the end of next year. Optimus may be more valuable than everything else combined.\"There are roughly 142 million homes in the United States, 84.37 million white-collar jobs, and 63.6 million blue-collar jobs. This is only a small fraction when you think about the global market. The potential for robots is limitless, and the company that is first to market will likely dominate the market. Personally, I will buy Optimus at the $20-$25,000 price point that has been discussed if it's able to do simple tasks such as cleaning and doing laundry. When I purchase one, I am not going to purchase another one just because another company brought one to market. TSLA has a large lead, and if they're able to start selling them externally by the end of next year, they will likely create a large moat in the sector. When I think about the impact on TSLA's financials, Optimus could have its dramatic, especially if there is a service plan attached to it through TSLA's AI network, which allows each Optimus bot to learn as tasks are performed across the network in real-time. If Optimus gains a 10% foothold in homes, blue-collar, and white-collar jobs at a $22,000 price point, it could generate $638.75 billion in revenue. If each bot has a learning plan at $39.99 per month, it could generate $1.16 billion in monthly recurring revenue. The scalability is huge when I think about the global market, from homes to warehouses.Steven FiorilloNext is FSD and Robotaxis. The global taxi market is expected to reach $120.89 billion by 2027. On the earnings call, Elon indicated that cyber-cabs were coming sooner than later, and with the amount of miles driven in FSD V12 it's when, not if. What could be more important is that he said one of the large auto manufacturers is in talks to license FSD from TSLA. FSD and Robotaxis have been 2 areas that I am up in the air on due to regulation. I have no doubt that this is the way of the future and that TSLA is ahead of its competitors in these areas, but they will need to pass regulations to make them a reality. When they get there, TSLA will certainly generate organically from its customer base from FSD. TSLA should also have no problem building out a ride-hailing service, considering they pretty much have the U.S. mapped out from miles driven already. Even if ride-hailing through a Robotaxi fleet isn't a reality until 2030, there is potential for this to become a $10 billion-dollar business if it takes less than 10% of the taxi market. Uber Technologies (UBER) is already generating $37 billion in annual revenue, and TSLA has the potential to disrupt the entire sector in the same regard that UBER did. The feather in TSLA's cap could be licensing because if they license FSD to a large automotive manufacturer, theoretically those vehicles would also be able to utilize the Robotaxi network.Steven Fiorillo, Allied Market ResearchTSLA now has 6,249 Supercharger stations with 57,579 Superchargers. They also have over 40,000 wall connectors at destination charging stations. TSLA's network has opened up to GM and Ford EVs as of February 2024, with other large manufacturers adopting the NACS connector in future EV's. When I model out the potential for supercharging stations, it's interesting, especially since this is in its infancy. There are 525,600 minutes in a year, which means that TSLA has roughly 51.28 billion charging minutes across its chargers. At $0.13 per KWH under 60KWH and $0.26 per KWH over 60KWH, TSLA has the potential to generate $10.26 billion in revenue if every charger is used 24/7.

If TSLA's chargers had a 25% utilization rate, they could generate $2.56 billion in revenue and $512.88 billion in gross profit for TSLA. When you combine FSD and Robotaxi in the mix, if a TSLA needs a charge, it is likely to direct the car to a TSLA charging station. This business is certainly years away from being instrumental, but TSLA has laid the foundation with over 6,000 stations. Think about what this could look like in 20 years. Not only would TSLA generate revenue from the vehicles, but they would also generate revenue from the software and charging on their vehicles, in addition to licensing the software to other manufacturers and having those EVs charge at TSLA stations.Steven Fiorillo, TeslaTeslaConclusionI am a reformed TSLA bear and have been buying shares into earnings.

This collectively amounts to a US labor cost ranging between $4 billion and $5 billion for Tesla.Can Tesla’s Optimus help?Long before the widespread use of walking robots, analysts at Morgan Stanley expect substantial changes in vehicle design that will lead to less labor.To produce inexpensive cars in the US competitively on a global scale, new methods and technologies that are not yet available commercially will likely be necessary.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":382,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3560811483744101","authorId":"3560811483744101","name":"Jas2davir","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e62174ebad7965b2b27ef308304519ed","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3560811483744101","authorIdStr":"3560811483744101"},"content":"Impossible to say for all we know HSBC analyst have a short posistion agaisnt tsla and MS’s analyst have a bull posistion on tsla….","text":"Impossible to say for all we know HSBC analyst have a short posistion agaisnt tsla and MS’s analyst have a bull posistion on tsla….","html":"Impossible to say for all we know HSBC analyst have a short posistion agaisnt tsla and MS’s analyst have a bull posistion on tsla…."}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":239984238932160,"gmtCreate":1699609042952,"gmtModify":1699609047905,"author":{"id":"3562193648411471","authorId":"3562193648411471","name":"Coldastone17","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/4f1bd3166de45ed68ce52aacd1ca37f1","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3562193648411471","authorIdStr":"3562193648411471"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"So why stil drop?
