After a somewhat banal demo day in January, this was a serious tour de force.</li>\n <li>Palantir demonstrated how Foundry can have a transformative impact in two entirely different industries. This included interesting granular details.</li>\n <li>Palantir has a massive head start in an entirely new class of 'data OS' software. The entry of new competitors is a sign that demand is rising rapidly.</li>\n <li>Splunk's CTO resigned the next day. Coincidence?</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Last week Palantir(NYSE:PLTR)held the first of what is to be a series of demo events dubbed \"Double Click\". Streaming to an audience of just 3.4k, this event was not aimed at investors and street analysts. It was instead a deep dive aimed at management teams and policymakers assessing potential Palantir deployments. In this article, we will summarize this event, discuss its implications, and contextualize Palantir's leading position in what is now one of the hottest areas of enterprise software.</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>Today we're building on our inaugural demo day back in January. That event brought exceptional interest in our platform from around the globe, but in particular incredible demand in the US where we just almost can't keep up....Our two platforms, Gotham and Foundry - They're operating systems for the modern enterprise. Gotham provides an end-to-end solution, from space to mud, that integrates every single sensor, every single shooter, for US and Allied defense around the world. It is a single platform that helps you understand decide and act.Foundry is by analogy that same operating system for the enterprise. It helps you understand, decide, and act. It isn't just about analytics. It's about decisions. About making better decisions.It's not just about being more efficient. It's about winning. Winning by generating sustainable alpha by outlearning the competition, and only foundry can do this. It is a completely unique offering.-Shyam Sankar, Palantir COO</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Sankar also detailed the critical role that Palantir's software has played in the UK's pandemic response. The NHS has used Palantir's Foundry to manage the distribution of 7.5B PPE items. The NHS has gone on to use Palantir to manage the distribution of 33M+ vaccines, hundreds of SKUs of related supplies, across 2,500 vaccination sites. All of this incorporates Palantir's privacy protections, annealing theUK's strict data privacy regulations.</p>\n<p>Far from being some sort of log aggregator or data visualization tool, this demo illustrated how powerful Palantir's software, specifically Foundry, truly is. Whereas Palantirpreviously coveredthe more mundane and granular details of data integration and technical aspects of Palantir Apollo back in January, this was an exciting walkthrough of use-cases and applications.</p>\n<p>It's difficult to understate exactly how good it was. It was a serious tour de force. Expect analysts covering Palantir to take note. We've come a long way from a time when CNBC wasspeculating that Palantir might be some sort of 'consulting services' company.</p>\n<p>Life Sciences</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/92bbaacbc77cbdeb3f0f7247cdca929b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"357\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><i>(Image source: Palantir)</i></p>\n<p>The first of two industries covered, Palantir made the case for Foundry's role in health sciences to be expanded beyond its current use in managing sensitive data surrounding the pandemic. Palantir covered how the same tools could accelerate clinical research, by demonstrating how sensitive health data could be analyzed in a way that complies with understandably strict regulations.</p>\n<p>The demo walked through the development of a hypothetical prognostic model for lung cancer, starting with data governance. Where Facebook(NASDAQ:FB)and Google(NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL)have sought to simplyseize healthcare data in a clandestine format(the same way Google posted pictures of everyone's house online without their permission and used scale to make it seem normal), Palantir has built a platform that empowers data owners to work with researchers. They're in control.</p>\n<p>On top of arobust suite of anonymization techniques, data governance teams have complete transparency into who has access to what data and why. This team assesses the researcher's request for data and makes sure that the access given is appropriate. This can be programmed to meet the desired data governance protocols.</p>\n<p>Once a researcher has access to the relevant data, they must develop a prognostic model. Foundry enables this process to be drastically accelerated in several ways:</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>...Every study starts with protocol writing and feasibility testing in order to identify a cohort of patients that is both medically relevant and large enough for statistical analysis. Foundry's cohorting app shortens this process by bringing medical experts data owners and biostatisticians to acommon interface, and building a library of reusable criteria......I can easily adjust the criteria to expand the population without needing to cycle through various data experts to check counts. Traditionally updating inclusion criteria can often take a week or more,meaning months can go by before analysis begins.Next, I need to filter to patients with lung cancer. Instead of spending weeks compiling the necessary code sets and logic to define this disease state, I can search our phenotype library and pull from the experience of other experts.-Benjamin Amor, Palantir Forward Deployed Engineer</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Analysis work can be done in multiple environments seamlessly, including R, Python, and SQL. These are directly integrated into Foundry. This enables Foundry to leverage the massive open source support for R, which has grown tonearly 17,500 different packages. Think of R packages like little software kits/apps for data scientists.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8357e4bfde07d67f405f41dbd6371681\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"356\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p><i>(Image Source: Palantir)</i></p>\n<p>This capability combines with cloud computing, giving data scientists the ability to offload computationally intensive workloads to high-performance computing centers. At the flick of a finger, a data scientist can spool up the massive computing power needed to analyze a large set of medical imaging data.

It can even combine this with granular data from IoT sensors. This can all be done at petabyte scale, and be up and running in a matter of days or weeks, without the need to build a new system from the ground up.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0a562191824ecc2b9367c475408e7ff8\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"335\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><i>(Image sources: Palantir)</i></p>\n<p>This enables companies to better manage complex supply chains, track quality control, optimize production, respond to disruptions, and scan for potential problems or weaknesses.

After a somewhat banal demo day in January, this was a serious tour de force.\nPalantir demonstrated how Foundry can have a transformative impact in two entirely different industries. This included interesting granular details.\nPalantir has a massive head start in an entirely new class of 'data OS' software. The entry of new competitors is a sign that demand is rising rapidly.\nSplunk's CTO resigned the next day. Coincidence?\n\nLast week Palantir(NYSE:PLTR)held the first of what is to be a series of demo events dubbed \"Double Click\". Streaming to an audience of just 3.4k, this event was not aimed at investors and street analysts. It was instead a deep dive aimed at management teams and policymakers assessing potential Palantir deployments. In this article, we will summarize this event, discuss its implications, and contextualize Palantir's leading position in what is now one of the hottest areas of enterprise software.\n\nToday we're building on our inaugural demo day back in January. That event brought exceptional interest in our platform from around the globe, but in particular incredible demand in the US where we just almost can't keep up....Our two platforms, Gotham and Foundry - They're operating systems for the modern enterprise. Gotham provides an end-to-end solution, from space to mud, that integrates every single sensor, every single shooter, for US and Allied defense around the world. It is a single platform that helps you understand decide and act.Foundry is by analogy that same operating system for the enterprise. It helps you understand, decide, and act. It isn't just about analytics. It's about decisions. About making better decisions.It's not just about being more efficient. It's about winning. Winning by generating sustainable alpha by outlearning the competition, and only foundry can do this. It is a completely unique offering.-Shyam Sankar, Palantir COO\n\nSankar also detailed the critical role that Palantir's software has played in the UK's pandemic response. The NHS has used Palantir's Foundry to manage the distribution of 7.5B PPE items. The NHS has gone on to use Palantir to manage the distribution of 33M+ vaccines, hundreds of SKUs of related supplies, across 2,500 vaccination sites. All of this incorporates Palantir's privacy protections, annealing theUK's strict data privacy regulations.\nFar from being some sort of log aggregator or data visualization tool, this demo illustrated how powerful Palantir's software, specifically Foundry, truly is. Whereas Palantirpreviously coveredthe more mundane and granular details of data integration and technical aspects of Palantir Apollo back in January, this was an exciting walkthrough of use-cases and applications.\nIt's difficult to understate exactly how good it was. It was a serious tour de force. Expect analysts covering Palantir to take note. We've come a long way from a time when CNBC wasspeculating that Palantir might be some sort of 'consulting services' company.\nLife Sciences\n(Image source: Palantir)\nThe first of two industries covered, Palantir made the case for Foundry's role in health sciences to be expanded beyond its current use in managing sensitive data surrounding the pandemic. Palantir covered how the same tools could accelerate clinical research, by demonstrating how sensitive health data could be analyzed in a way that complies with understandably strict regulations.\nThe demo walked through the development of a hypothetical prognostic model for lung cancer, starting with data governance. Where Facebook(NASDAQ:FB)and Google(NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL)have sought to simplyseize healthcare data in a clandestine format(the same way Google posted pictures of everyone's house online without their permission and used scale to make it seem normal), Palantir has built a platform that empowers data owners to work with researchers. They're in control.\nOn top of arobust suite of anonymization techniques, data governance teams have complete transparency into who has access to what data and why. This team assesses the researcher's request for data and makes sure that the access given is appropriate. This can be programmed to meet the desired data governance protocols.\nOnce a researcher has access to the relevant data, they must develop a prognostic model. Foundry enables this process to be drastically accelerated in several ways:\n\n...Every study starts with protocol writing and feasibility testing in order to identify a cohort of patients that is both medically relevant and large enough for statistical analysis. Foundry's cohorting app shortens this process by bringing medical experts data owners and biostatisticians to acommon interface, and building a library of reusable criteria......I can easily adjust the criteria to expand the population without needing to cycle through various data experts to check counts. Traditionally updating inclusion criteria can often take a week or more,meaning months can go by before analysis begins.Next, I need to filter to patients with lung cancer. Instead of spending weeks compiling the necessary code sets and logic to define this disease state, I can search our phenotype library and pull from the experience of other experts.-Benjamin Amor, Palantir Forward Deployed Engineer\n\nAnalysis work can be done in multiple environments seamlessly, including R, Python, and SQL. These are directly integrated into Foundry. This enables Foundry to leverage the massive open source support for R, which has grown tonearly 17,500 different packages. Think of R packages like little software kits/apps for data scientists.\n\n(Image Source: Palantir)\nThis capability combines with cloud computing, giving data scientists the ability to offload computationally intensive workloads to high-performance computing centers. At the flick of a finger, a data scientist can spool up the massive computing power needed to analyze a large set of medical imaging data. As GPUs and other types of acceleration hardware become more powerful, the number of possibilities and speed at which they can be analyzed will continue to increase.\nMost importantly, the information gained from this analysis can be shared with the entire teamwithout actually having to share access to sensitive data.Making all of this possible is the quick unification of data from disparate sources, many different organizations with highly variable and idiosyncratic data architectures. Foundry can not only protect sensitive data, but it can cut the time needed to standardize such data from years to weeks.\n\nThe science is really accelerated, because instead of every time reinventing the wheel, you pick the parts off the shelf that you need to use. You modify them as you want, but they're reusable so we don't have to keep designing it each time.Lots of people have large data sets, but if you make them into knowledge, or you make them usable to create knowledge, that's the secret sauce. That's what Palantir gives us. That ease of use.-Ken Gersing M.D., NCATS Director of Informatics\n\nThe implementation of Foundry as an organizational 'data OS' continues to build value over time, acting as a repository for information that can be leveraged later. Past research that had previously uninteresting results might accelerate future research. Palantir refers to this as the creation of \"knowledge objects\", all fully traceable back to the raw data that was used to produce them.\nIndustrials\nThe second half of the presentation highlighted industrial applications, the most impressive of which centered around managing complex supply chains. A Palantir engineer explained how the company has worked closely with customers to integrate their needs directly into Foundry.\n\nWe've spent years working on these problems. We've actually been able to bake these hard-earned learnings back into the platform. So, now you can apply these to a specific customer's context in a matter of weeks.So, part of this is what we call software defined data integrations. Basically taking what used to take months or even years of painful manual work, and you need specialist knowledge of the underlying data sources, and actually just replacing that with a few clicks-Liam Mawe, Palantir Forward Deployed Engineer\n\nIn other words, Palantir can take an insurmountable patchwork of aging ERP and CRM infrastructure and quickly integrate it into a usable platform. It can even combine this with granular data from IoT sensors. This can all be done at petabyte scale, and be up and running in a matter of days or weeks, without the need to build a new system from the ground up.\n(Image sources: Palantir)\nThis enables companies to better manage complex supply chains, track quality control, optimize production, respond to disruptions, and scan for potential problems or weaknesses. Foundry makes this all seem so easy and intuitive because it converts impossible levels of complexity into manageable data assets.

Those tremendous results made investors sit up and take notice.\nGiven her results in 2020, it's worth watching what Wood is buying -- even if some of those stocks may not exactly be your cup of tea. To further increase my chances of finding winning investments from among her picks, I look for companies that boast industry-leading positions, robust secular tailwinds, and large and growing total addressable markets.\nThree stocks Wood bought last week meet all of those lofty criteria.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nOkta: The cutting edge of identity management\nThe ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (NYSEMKT:ARKW) focuses on companies that will benefit from broad technological trends including cloud computing, mobile communication, big data, and the Internet of Things. One of the biggest stumbling blocks for companies looking to make use of many of those technologies is the prevalence of hacking and unauthorized access that plagues the modern era. Ensuring that only those with the proper credentials can access critical networks is a big job, and Okta (NASDAQ:OKTA) is there to answer the call.\nThe company is the leader in cloud-based identity management and authentication services. Okta manages access across any application, person, or device, and handles not only employees, but also serves as the gatekeeper allowing partners, contractors, and customers to access those systems they are authorized to use. Rather than simply connecting to a company's network, Okta integrates with more than 6,500 of the most-used enterprise software applications, including Amazon Web Services, salesforce.com, Zoom Video Communications, and Microsoft Office 365.\nOkta has been named the industry leader in its niche for seven years running by research company Gartner. It was also singled out by Forrester as a leader in the field for both its Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS) and its Zero Trust eXtended Ecosystem. These industry accolades help illustrate the value of Okta's offerings.\nIf you need further evidence, look no further than its recent results. Okta's revenue increased 43% last year, while subscriptions climbed 44%. The company's remaining performance obligation (RPO) -- which represents revenue that is under contract but has not yet been recognized -- grew even faster, by 49%, which signals the trajectory of its future growth.\nWith the acquisition of Auth0 last month, Okta expanded its addressable market from $55 billion to $80 billion. Considering that it generated revenue of just $835 million last year, even if the company only captures a small part of its total addressable market, the stock could grow several-fold from here.\nWood only opened a position in Okta last week, so this could be the beginning of a long and lucrative association.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nThe Trade Desk: No cookies in its diet\nAnother trend that still has legs is the transition to digital advertising -- and more specifically, programmatic advertising.

Shares traded over the $30 level shortly in March and have not reached that level again.\nWith several catalysts coming in the second half of 2021, CCIV shares could see strong performance. Lucid Motors has not announced a date for the merger vote, which could be another catalyst for shareholders to watch.\nAltimeter Growth Corp: The large Southeast Asian delivery, mobility and financial services company Grab announced a SPAC deal with Altimeter Growth Corp in one of the largest offerings for a company from the region in the U.S.\nGrab is the category leader for online food delivery, ride-hail and digital wallets in Southeast Asia. The company had gross merchandising value of $12.5 billion in 2020, which came in ahead of pre-pandemic levels.\nOver 670 million people live in Southeast Asia, which could give Grab a significant runway for future growth in its existing and new segments. Online food delivery penetration and digital wallets are smaller in market size in Asia than in regions like the U.S.\nThe deal is expected to be completed in the later part of 2021, which could see shares trade favorably in the second half of 2021.\nChamath SPACs:One of the top names in the SPAC world still has two SPACs searching for targets. Chamath Palihapitiya’s Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings Corp IV and Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings Corp VI are SPACs that could perform well in the second half of 2021.\nIPOD has no rumors attached to it, while IPOF isrumoredto be bringing gym owner and Peloton Interactive rival Equinox public.\nIPOD raised $400 million and has the former CEO and co-founder of NextDoor to help pick a target.\nDick Costolo, the former CEO of Twitter Inc from 2010 to 2015, is helping the $1-billion IPOF select a target.\nPalihapitiya recently filed for four biotech SPACs. That could mean deals are close to being announced for IPOD and IPOF — or he could have six active SPACs searching for targets later this year.\nTrident Acquisitions Corp:One trend that has played out for SPACs in 2021 is that some well-known brands or companies trade better when they have the new name and ticker.\nThe same could happen for Lottery.com, which is merging with Trident Acquisitions Corp and will trade under new ticker LTRY.\nLottery.com has facilities in 12 states and plans to add six more in 2021, CEO Tony DiMatteo told Benzinga.\nA potential catalyst for the company is its acquisition of the sports.com domain and intentions to enter the sports betting market.DraftKings Inc CEO Jason Robins serves on the company’s advisory board.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":310,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":194902200,"gmtCreate":1621331135700,"gmtModify":1704355896222,"author":{"id":"3577330790701186","authorId":"3577330790701186","name":"NAIISE","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577330790701186","authorIdStr":"3577330790701186"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Huat","listText":"Huat","text":"Huat","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/194902200","repostId":"1197358072","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1197358072","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing

One of the biggest stumbling blocks for companies looking to make use of many of those technologies is the prevalence of hacking and unauthorized access that plagues the modern era. Ensuring that only those with the proper credentials can access critical networks is a big job, and <b>Okta</b> (NASDAQ:OKTA) is there to answer the call.</p>\n<p>The company is the leader in cloud-based identity management and authentication services. Okta manages access across any application, person, or device, and handles not only employees, but also serves as the gatekeeper allowing partners, contractors, and customers to access those systems they are authorized to use. Rather than simply connecting to a company's network, Okta integrates with more than 6,500 of the most-used enterprise software applications, including <b>Amazon</b>&nbsp;Web Services, <b>salesforce.com</b>, <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ZM\">Zoom</a> Video Communications</b>, and <b>Microsoft</b> Office 365.</p>\n<p>Okta has been named the industry leader in its niche for seven years running by research company <b>Gartner</b>. It was also singled out by Forrester as a leader in the field for both its Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS) and its Zero Trust eXtended Ecosystem. These industry accolades help illustrate the value of Okta's offerings.</p>\n<p>If you need further evidence, look no further than its recent results. Okta's revenue increased 43% last year, while subscriptions climbed 44%. The company's remaining performance obligation (RPO) -- which represents revenue that is under contract but has not yet been recognized -- grew even faster, by 49%, which signals the trajectory of its future growth.</p>\n<p>With the acquisition of Auth0 last month, Okta expanded its addressable market from $55 billion to $80 billion. Considering that it generated revenue of just $835 million last year, even if the company only captures a small part of its total addressable market, the stock could grow several-fold from here.</p>\n<p>Wood only opened a position in Okta last week, so this could be the beginning of a long and lucrative association.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f8b0c83b8a99bffdb138bb49c36053ae\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"356\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>The Trade Desk: No cookies in its diet</h2>\n<p>Another trend that still has legs is the transition to digital advertising -- and more specifically, <i>programmatic</i> advertising. To ensure that it has exposure to this large and growing trend, the ARK Next Generation Internet ETF is betting big on <b>The Trade Desk</b> (NASDAQ:TTD).</p>\n<p>Not only is the company the leading independent demand-side advertising platform, but it partners with the world's largest ad agencies rather than competing against them. This gives The Trade Desk a large and growing ecosystem in which to expand its market share.</p>\n<p>While the digital advertising industry is up in arms due to <b>Alphabet</b>'s announcement regarding the pending death of cookies and <b>Apple</b>'s moves to increase user privacy, The Trade Desk is uniquely positioned to sidestep most of the issues those changes will create.</p>\n<p>First, only about 8% of its advertising spend is reliant on Apple's Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA), so the tech giant's plans to essentially kill it won't materially impact The Trade Desk's business. Second, and perhaps more importantly, The Trade Desk has long prepared for the demise of cookies. The company developed the Unified ID, an identifier that helps target ads, but doesn't contain any personally identifiable information, so it doesn't invade user privacy.</p>\n<p>The most important names in the industry use The Trade Desk's Unified ID, including Index Exchange, <b>Magnite</b>, <b>PubMatic</b>, OpenX, SpotX, <b>Criteo</b>, <b>LiveRamp</b>, and Neustar, just to name a few.</p>\n<p>In the fourth quarter, The Trade Desk grew revenue by 48% year over year -- its highest growth rate in nearly two years -- while net income nearly tripled. The company's total revenue last year hit $836 million, which pales in comparison to its total addressable market of $1 trillion annually in the coming decade.</p>\n<p>These factors no doubt led Wood to increase ARK Next Generation Internet ETF's position in The Trade Desk last week, bringing it to 2.28% of the total $5.27 billion funds under management, and making it the fund's 13th largest position.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8879046bbfe592f08b387aca6b54b4e0\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"393\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Palantir Technologies: Finding needles in haystacks</h2>\n<p>The <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ARKK\">ARK Innovation ETF</a></b> (NYSEMKT:ARKK) focuses on disruptive technology that could potentially change the way the world works, which is likely why it was attracted by <b>Palantir Technologies </b>(NYSE:PLTR). It can take years, sometimes decades, to develop the necessary tools to gather, consolidate, and analyze data trapped in silos. These problems have plagued enterprise companies and governments alike. While Palantir has been public for less than a year, it has been building its data mining and warehousing tools for nearly 20 years -- and it has an extensive tech pedigree.</p>\n<p>Palantir is the brainchild of Peter Thiel, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of the co-founders of <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PYPL\">PayPal</a></b> (NASDAQ: PYPL), so disruptive technology is right up his alley. The company has been helping defense and intelligence agencies crunch data in the fight against terrorism for years, and has an impressive track record of capturing lucrative government contracts. But that's just the beginning. After honing its craft with the government, Palantir turned its sights to the enterprise market, helping to extract meaningful and actionable data for businesses.</p>\n<p>The company's software is exceedingly complex and requires an entire team of engineers to install. Once Palantir's platform is entrenched in a customer's systems, it's highly unlikely that a rival data miner would be able to come in and lure that client away, even if there were a competitor of Palantir's magnitude.</p>\n<p>The company grew revenue by 47% in 2020, winning a host of new and increasingly lucrative contracts along the way. The average annual revenue from the company's top 20 customers grew by 34%, while the number of those generating $1 million or more in revenue grew 32%. Additionally, the number of clients contributing $5 million or more grew 54%, while the number generating $10 million grew by 50%.</p>\n<p>Palantir's management estimates its total addressable market tops out at $119 billion annually across both its commercial and government segments. Given that the company generated revenue of just $1.1 billion in 2020, it clearly has ample opportunities for growth.</p>\n<p>Wood has gradually been building a position in Palantir. It's now <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the top 25 holdings in the ARK Innovation ETF, with its stake amounting to 1.4% of its $17.68 billion funds under management.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7d0fdf843d9d47d4facbb2b8f882495a\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"468\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<h2>Every rose has its thorns</h2>\n<p>Given the impressive results Wood racked up last year, it would almost seem like a no-brainer to follow her lead, but her noteworthy record notwithstanding, these stocks simply aren't for everyone. In terms of traditional valuation metrics, they certainly aren't cheap. The Trade Desk, Okta, and Palantir are selling at price-to-sales ratios of 41, 37, and 25, respectively -- when a good price-to-sales ratio for a stock is generally between 1 and 2.</p>\n<p>That said, these industry-leading companies have plenty going for them, including robust tailwinds and massive market opportunities. Additionally, The Trade Desk and Okta gained 230% and 90%, respectively, over the past year, and Palantir is up by 145% since it debuted on Sept. 30.</p>\n<p>For investors who can stomach volatility and have an appetite for a little additional risk, Wood's recent purchases could be just the ticket.</p>","source":"fool_stock","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>Cathie Wood Just Bought These 3 High-Growth Stocks That Could Make You a Fortune</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\">\nCathie Wood Just Bought These 3 High-Growth Stocks That Could Make You a Fortune\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-16 16:41 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/04/15/cathie-wood-just-bought-these-3-high-growth-stocks/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Cathie Wood has been around Wall Street for decades, but the founder and CEO of ARK Investment Management took the spotlight in 2020 when her five flagship exchange-traded funds (ETFs) crushed the ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/04/15/cathie-wood-just-bought-these-3-high-growth-stocks/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"OKTA":"Okta Inc.","TTD":"Trade Desk Inc.","PLTR":"Palantir Technologies Inc."},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/04/15/cathie-wood-just-bought-these-3-high-growth-stocks/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2127007505","content_text":"Cathie Wood has been around Wall Street for decades, but the founder and CEO of ARK Investment Management took the spotlight in 2020 when her five flagship exchange-traded funds (ETFs) crushed the broader market, each generating returns of over 100% for the year.

It was also singled out by Forrester as a leader in the field for both its Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS) and its Zero Trust eXtended Ecosystem. These industry accolades help illustrate the value of Okta's offerings.\nIf you need further evidence, look no further than its recent results. Okta's revenue increased 43% last year, while subscriptions climbed 44%. The company's remaining performance obligation (RPO) -- which represents revenue that is under contract but has not yet been recognized -- grew even faster, by 49%, which signals the trajectory of its future growth.\nWith the acquisition of Auth0 last month, Okta expanded its addressable market from $55 billion to $80 billion. Considering that it generated revenue of just $835 million last year, even if the company only captures a small part of its total addressable market, the stock could grow several-fold from here.\nWood only opened a position in Okta last week, so this could be the beginning of a long and lucrative association.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nThe Trade Desk: No cookies in its diet\nAnother trend that still has legs is the transition to digital advertising -- and more specifically, programmatic advertising. To ensure that it has exposure to this large and growing trend, the ARK Next Generation Internet ETF is betting big on The Trade Desk (NASDAQ:TTD).\nNot only is the company the leading independent demand-side advertising platform, but it partners with the world's largest ad agencies rather than competing against them. This gives The Trade Desk a large and growing ecosystem in which to expand its market share.\nWhile the digital advertising industry is up in arms due to Alphabet's announcement regarding the pending death of cookies and Apple's moves to increase user privacy, The Trade Desk is uniquely positioned to sidestep most of the issues those changes will create.\nFirst, only about 8% of its advertising spend is reliant on Apple's Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA), so the tech giant's plans to essentially kill it won't materially impact The Trade Desk's business. Second, and perhaps more importantly, The Trade Desk has long prepared for the demise of cookies. The company developed the Unified ID, an identifier that helps target ads, but doesn't contain any personally identifiable information, so it doesn't invade user privacy.\nThe most important names in the industry use The Trade Desk's Unified ID, including Index Exchange, Magnite, PubMatic, OpenX, SpotX, Criteo, LiveRamp, and Neustar, just to name a few.\nIn the fourth quarter, The Trade Desk grew revenue by 48% year over year -- its highest growth rate in nearly two years -- while net income nearly tripled. The company's total revenue last year hit $836 million, which pales in comparison to its total addressable market of $1 trillion annually in the coming decade.\nThese factors no doubt led Wood to increase ARK Next Generation Internet ETF's position in The Trade Desk last week, bringing it to 2.28% of the total $5.27 billion funds under management, and making it the fund's 13th largest position.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nPalantir Technologies: Finding needles in haystacks\nThe ARK Innovation ETF (NYSEMKT:ARKK) focuses on disruptive technology that could potentially change the way the world works, which is likely why it was attracted by Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR). It can take years, sometimes decades, to develop the necessary tools to gather, consolidate, and analyze data trapped in silos. These problems have plagued enterprise companies and governments alike. While Palantir has been public for less than a year, it has been building its data mining and warehousing tools for nearly 20 years -- and it has an extensive tech pedigree.\nPalantir is the brainchild of Peter Thiel, one of the co-founders of PayPal (NASDAQ: PYPL), so disruptive technology is right up his alley. The company has been helping defense and intelligence agencies crunch data in the fight against terrorism for years, and has an impressive track record of capturing lucrative government contracts. But that's just the beginning. After honing its craft with the government, Palantir turned its sights to the enterprise market, helping to extract meaningful and actionable data for businesses.\nThe company's software is exceedingly complex and requires an entire team of engineers to install. Once Palantir's platform is entrenched in a customer's systems, it's highly unlikely that a rival data miner would be able to come in and lure that client away, even if there were a competitor of Palantir's magnitude.\nThe company grew revenue by 47% in 2020, winning a host of new and increasingly lucrative contracts along the way. The average annual revenue from the company's top 20 customers grew by 34%, while the number of those generating $1 million or more in revenue grew 32%. Additionally, the number of clients contributing $5 million or more grew 54%, while the number generating $10 million grew by 50%.\nPalantir's management estimates its total addressable market tops out at $119 billion annually across both its commercial and government segments. Given that the company generated revenue of just $1.1 billion in 2020, it clearly has ample opportunities for growth.\nWood has gradually been building a position in Palantir. It's now one of the top 25 holdings in the ARK Innovation ETF, with its stake amounting to 1.4% of its $17.68 billion funds under management.\nData by YCharts\nEvery rose has its thorns\nGiven the impressive results Wood racked up last year, it would almost seem like a no-brainer to follow her lead, but her noteworthy record notwithstanding, these stocks simply aren't for everyone. In terms of traditional valuation metrics, they certainly aren't cheap. The Trade Desk, Okta, and Palantir are selling at price-to-sales ratios of 41, 37, and 25, respectively -- when a good price-to-sales ratio for a stock is generally between 1 and 2.\nThat said, these industry-leading companies have plenty going for them, including robust tailwinds and massive market opportunities. Additionally, The Trade Desk and Okta gained 230% and 90%, respectively, over the past year, and Palantir is up by 145% since it debuted on Sept. 30.\nFor investors who can stomach volatility and have an appetite for a little additional risk, Wood's recent purchases could be just the ticket.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":388,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":353599362,"gmtCreate":1616506596756,"gmtModify":1704794997215,"author":{"id":"3577330790701186","authorId":"3577330790701186","name":"NAIISE","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577330790701186","authorIdStr":"3577330790701186"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/353599362","repostId":"1153771573","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1153771573","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1616506331,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1153771573?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-23 21:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"S&P 500 falls slightly as bull market turns one year old, Nasdaq is flat.","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1153771573","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"U.S. stocks dipped on Tuesday, one year after the bull market from the pandemic lows began as invest","content":"<p>U.S. stocks dipped on Tuesday, one year after the bull market from the pandemic lows began as investors took some profits in shares that will benefit most from the reopening of the economy.</p><p>The S&amp;P 500 fell 0.2%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average shed 104points.

Coincidence?</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Last week Palantir(NYSE:PLTR)held the first of what is to be a series of demo events dubbed \"Double Click\". Streaming to an audience of just 3.4k, this event was not aimed at investors and street analysts. It was instead a deep dive aimed at management teams and policymakers assessing potential Palantir deployments. In this article, we will summarize this event, discuss its implications, and contextualize Palantir's leading position in what is now one of the hottest areas of enterprise software.</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>Today we're building on our inaugural demo day back in January. That event brought exceptional interest in our platform from around the globe, but in particular incredible demand in the US where we just almost can't keep up....Our two platforms, Gotham and Foundry - They're operating systems for the modern enterprise. Gotham provides an end-to-end solution, from space to mud, that integrates every single sensor, every single shooter, for US and Allied defense around the world. It is a single platform that helps you understand decide and act.Foundry is by analogy that same operating system for the enterprise. It helps you understand, decide, and act. It isn't just about analytics. It's about decisions. About making better decisions.It's not just about being more efficient. It's about winning. Winning by generating sustainable alpha by outlearning the competition, and only foundry can do this. It is a completely unique offering.-Shyam Sankar, Palantir COO</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Sankar also detailed the critical role that Palantir's software has played in the UK's pandemic response. The NHS has used Palantir's Foundry to manage the distribution of 7.5B PPE items. The NHS has gone on to use Palantir to manage the distribution of 33M+ vaccines, hundreds of SKUs of related supplies, across 2,500 vaccination sites. All of this incorporates Palantir's privacy protections, annealing theUK's strict data privacy regulations.</p>\n<p>Far from being some sort of log aggregator or data visualization tool, this demo illustrated how powerful Palantir's software, specifically Foundry, truly is. Whereas Palantirpreviously coveredthe more mundane and granular details of data integration and technical aspects of Palantir Apollo back in January, this was an exciting walkthrough of use-cases and applications.</p>\n<p>It's difficult to understate exactly how good it was. It was a serious tour de force. Expect analysts covering Palantir to take note. We've come a long way from a time when CNBC wasspeculating that Palantir might be some sort of 'consulting services' company.</p>\n<p>Life Sciences</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/92bbaacbc77cbdeb3f0f7247cdca929b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"357\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><i>(Image source: Palantir)</i></p>\n<p>The first of two industries covered, Palantir made the case for Foundry's role in health sciences to be expanded beyond its current use in managing sensitive data surrounding the pandemic. Palantir covered how the same tools could accelerate clinical research, by demonstrating how sensitive health data could be analyzed in a way that complies with understandably strict regulations.</p>\n<p>The demo walked through the development of a hypothetical prognostic model for lung cancer, starting with data governance. Where Facebook(NASDAQ:FB)and Google(NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL)have sought to simplyseize healthcare data in a clandestine format(the same way Google posted pictures of everyone's house online without their permission and used scale to make it seem normal), Palantir has built a platform that empowers data owners to work with researchers. They're in control.</p>\n<p>On top of arobust suite of anonymization techniques, data governance teams have complete transparency into who has access to what data and why. This team assesses the researcher's request for data and makes sure that the access given is appropriate. This can be programmed to meet the desired data governance protocols.</p>\n<p>Once a researcher has access to the relevant data, they must develop a prognostic model. Foundry enables this process to be drastically accelerated in several ways:</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>...Every study starts with protocol writing and feasibility testing in order to identify a cohort of patients that is both medically relevant and large enough for statistical analysis. Foundry's cohorting app shortens this process by bringing medical experts data owners and biostatisticians to acommon interface, and building a library of reusable criteria......I can easily adjust the criteria to expand the population without needing to cycle through various data experts to check counts. Traditionally updating inclusion criteria can often take a week or more,meaning months can go by before analysis begins.Next, I need to filter to patients with lung cancer. Instead of spending weeks compiling the necessary code sets and logic to define this disease state, I can search our phenotype library and pull from the experience of other experts.-Benjamin Amor, Palantir Forward Deployed Engineer</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Analysis work can be done in multiple environments seamlessly, including R, Python, and SQL. These are directly integrated into Foundry. This enables Foundry to leverage the massive open source support for R, which has grown tonearly 17,500 different packages. Think of R packages like little software kits/apps for data scientists.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8357e4bfde07d67f405f41dbd6371681\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"356\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p><i>(Image Source: Palantir)</i></p>\n<p>This capability combines with cloud computing, giving data scientists the ability to offload computationally intensive workloads to high-performance computing centers. At the flick of a finger, a data scientist can spool up the massive computing power needed to analyze a large set of medical imaging data. As GPUs and other types of acceleration hardware become more powerful, the number of possibilities and speed at which they can be analyzed will continue to increase.</p>\n<p>Most importantly, the information gained from this analysis can be shared with the entire team<b>without actually having to share access to sensitive data.</b>Making all of this possible is the quick unification of data from disparate sources, many different organizations with highly variable and idiosyncratic data architectures. Foundry can not only protect sensitive data, but it can cut the time needed to standardize such data from years to weeks.</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>The science is really accelerated, because instead of every time reinventing the wheel, you pick the parts off the shelf that you need to use. You modify them as you want, but they're reusable so we don't have to keep designing it each time.Lots of people have large data sets, but if you make them into knowledge, or you make them usable to create knowledge, that's the secret sauce. That's what Palantir gives us. That ease of use.-Ken Gersing M.D., NCATS Director of Informatics</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>The implementation of Foundry as an organizational 'data OS' continues to build value over time, acting as a repository for information that can be leveraged later. Past research that had previously uninteresting results might accelerate future research. Palantir refers to this as the creation of \"knowledge objects\", all fully traceable back to the raw data that was used to produce them.</p>\n<p><b>Industrials</b></p>\n<p>The second half of the presentation highlighted industrial applications, the most impressive of which centered around managing complex supply chains. A Palantir engineer explained how the company has worked closely with customers to integrate their needs directly into Foundry.</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>We've spent years working on these problems. We've actually been able to bake these hard-earned learnings back into the platform. So, now you can apply these to a specific customer's context in a matter of weeks.So, part of this is what we call software defined data integrations. Basically taking what used to take months or even years of painful manual work, and you need specialist knowledge of the underlying data sources, and actually just replacing that with a few clicks-Liam Mawe, Palantir Forward Deployed Engineer</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>In other words, Palantir can take an insurmountable patchwork of aging ERP and CRM infrastructure and quickly integrate it into a usable platform. It can even combine this with granular data from IoT sensors. This can all be done at petabyte scale, and be up and running in a matter of days or weeks, without the need to build a new system from the ground up.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0a562191824ecc2b9367c475408e7ff8\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"335\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><i>(Image sources: Palantir)</i></p>\n<p>This enables companies to better manage complex supply chains, track quality control, optimize production, respond to disruptions, and scan for potential problems or weaknesses. Foundry makes this all seem so easy and intuitive because it converts impossible levels of complexity into manageable data assets. A nontechnical user can be up and running quickly.</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>Previously it would have been impossible to respond with this level of understanding. But what's actually even more exciting here is that instead of manually comparing a few scenarios, I can actually choose the exact set of decisions that will optimize for the factors I care about most, which of course will change depending on the current circumstances.So while this might look simple, behind the scenes Foundry is comparing potentially thousands of possible scenarios to help this logistics manager make a final decision on the best outcome... keeping business running smoothly and customers on the move.Once I'm able to fully understand and react to today's challenges, the change models underpinning the supply chain critically allow simulation of future events to rebalance trade-offs effectively. So starting to shift from reaction to anticipation of the global supply chain.-Liam Mawe, Palantir Forward Deployed Engineer</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Managers can then take things a step further, and actually analyze hypothetical future scenarios. The granularity and accuracy of such simulations will only increase as new communications technologies (such as 5G) bring new levels of connectivity to IoT sensors and nodes.</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>Supply chain and logistics managers were previously forced to make these incredibly complex trade-offs with only a narrow view of the available context. But now with the supply chain archetype, we can not only gain an accurate and granular view of today's risks, but can also simulate future scenarios and make adjustments to make sure ournetwork is ready to take on the challenges of tomorrow.So just to give you an idea of the speed and impact of the archetype, one of our industrial customers had an incredibly complex supply chain landscape with dozens of data sources, including 27 separate ERPs.With foundry, in hours they had their first integrated view of the supply chain. Within two days they were already proactively alerting on potential bottlenecks, and in just two weeks had identified around $50 million in working capital while simultaneously improving the robustness of the supply chain to react to future shocks.-Liam Mawe, Palantir Forward Deployed Engineer</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>To an IT executive, this probably sounds more like a miracle than a case study. The presentation on industrials also focused on a few other use-cases, but the supply chain analysis was by far the most impressive.</p>\n<p>Deep roots are not reached by the frost</p>\n<p>The fact that a presentation that might have ignited investor interest in the stock and sent it skyrocketing wasn't promoted to investors at all tells you something very important. Demand for the type of 'data OS' that Palantir provides is heating up, and Palantir is now focused on marketing to potential customers in a very active way.</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>This holy grail of making data actionable by tying it into the critical business systems that power a company - turning the data warehouse into a \"central nervous system\" for the business - is what's driving incredible growth at some of the most important startups in Silicon Valley, including Canva, Drizly, Figma, Notion, Loom, Clearbit, and many more.-David Ulevitch, Andreessen Horowitz</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>This is evident by the fact that there has been a rush of VC capital into startup competitors. EvenNvidia(NASDAQ:NVDA) is scrambling to get in on the action. Earlier this year, Palantir andIBMformed a partnership together.</p>\n<p>Palantir has a nearly two-decade head start, and any advantages that might have come from working on classifiedSAP/SCIlevel software. The CTO of Splunk (SPLK)resigned the day after Palantir's Double Click event,a move that sent the stock plummeting. Coincidence?</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>That's almost always a warning sign for anybody in the cybersecurity business, because unless they are really truly skilled and have been doing cybersecurity as their main business for a long time, they usually don't got this.-Michael Daniel, White House Cybersecurity Coordinator (2012-2017)</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>The recent Solar Winds hack, whichenabled hackers to access Microsoft's sensitive source code, has highlighted the fact that a new cold war is being fought in cyberspace. Any startup entering this space, as well as any existing company looking to break in, will have to not only compete with Palantir's lengthy head start but will also have to provide cybersecurity capabilities that match the level of sensitivity of the data that they want to manage.</p>\n<p>This gives Palantir an additional competitive advantage that would be extremely difficult for anyone else to replicate. If you were a CEO or CTO, who would you trust to manage your digital transformation? An 'a16z backed' startup or a company with a lengthy history of classified work for the DoD?</p>\n<p>Palantir's visionary CEO may have been extremely early to the party, but he wasn't wrong.</p>\n<p><b>Conclusion</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>Palantir's advisors include Condoleezza Rice and former CIA director George Tenet, who says in an interview that \"I wish we had a tool of its power\" before 9/11. General David Petraeus, the most recent former CIA chief, describes Palantir to FORBES as \"a better mousetrap when a better mousetrap was needed\" and calls Karp \"sheer brilliant.\"-Forbes Magazine, 2013</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Why after such a long time, is demand for Palantir's platform suddenly expanding so rapidly?</p>\n<p>In the case of the 'supply chain archetype', consider all of the investments currently being made to digitize the supply chain. There are a considerable number of companies working on autonomous trucks,which are already running commercial loads. Kroger(NYSE:KR)isbuilding out advanced picking robotic picking systems from Ocado(OTCPK:OCDGF). Boston Dynamics will roll out commercial deployments of robots that can move800 boxes per hournext year.

After a somewhat banal demo day in January, this was a serious tour de force.\nPalantir demonstrated how Foundry can have a transformative impact in two entirely different industries. This included interesting granular details.\nPalantir has a massive head start in an entirely new class of 'data OS' software. The entry of new competitors is a sign that demand is rising rapidly.\nSplunk's CTO resigned the next day. Coincidence?\n\nLast week Palantir(NYSE:PLTR)held the first of what is to be a series of demo events dubbed \"Double Click\". Streaming to an audience of just 3.4k, this event was not aimed at investors and street analysts. It was instead a deep dive aimed at management teams and policymakers assessing potential Palantir deployments. In this article, we will summarize this event, discuss its implications, and contextualize Palantir's leading position in what is now one of the hottest areas of enterprise software.\n\nToday we're building on our inaugural demo day back in January. That event brought exceptional interest in our platform from around the globe, but in particular incredible demand in the US where we just almost can't keep up....Our two platforms, Gotham and Foundry - They're operating systems for the modern enterprise. Gotham provides an end-to-end solution, from space to mud, that integrates every single sensor, every single shooter, for US and Allied defense around the world. It is a single platform that helps you understand decide and act.Foundry is by analogy that same operating system for the enterprise. It helps you understand, decide, and act. It isn't just about analytics. It's about decisions. About making better decisions.It's not just about being more efficient. It's about winning. Winning by generating sustainable alpha by outlearning the competition, and only foundry can do this. It is a completely unique offering.-Shyam Sankar, Palantir COO\n\nSankar also detailed the critical role that Palantir's software has played in the UK's pandemic response. The NHS has used Palantir's Foundry to manage the distribution of 7.5B PPE items. The NHS has gone on to use Palantir to manage the distribution of 33M+ vaccines, hundreds of SKUs of related supplies, across 2,500 vaccination sites. All of this incorporates Palantir's privacy protections, annealing theUK's strict data privacy regulations.\nFar from being some sort of log aggregator or data visualization tool, this demo illustrated how powerful Palantir's software, specifically Foundry, truly is. Whereas Palantirpreviously coveredthe more mundane and granular details of data integration and technical aspects of Palantir Apollo back in January, this was an exciting walkthrough of use-cases and applications.\nIt's difficult to understate exactly how good it was. It was a serious tour de force. Expect analysts covering Palantir to take note. We've come a long way from a time when CNBC wasspeculating that Palantir might be some sort of 'consulting services' company.\nLife Sciences\n(Image source: Palantir)\nThe first of two industries covered, Palantir made the case for Foundry's role in health sciences to be expanded beyond its current use in managing sensitive data surrounding the pandemic. Palantir covered how the same tools could accelerate clinical research, by demonstrating how sensitive health data could be analyzed in a way that complies with understandably strict regulations.\nThe demo walked through the development of a hypothetical prognostic model for lung cancer, starting with data governance. Where Facebook(NASDAQ:FB)and Google(NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL)have sought to simplyseize healthcare data in a clandestine format(the same way Google posted pictures of everyone's house online without their permission and used scale to make it seem normal), Palantir has built a platform that empowers data owners to work with researchers. They're in control.\nOn top of arobust suite of anonymization techniques, data governance teams have complete transparency into who has access to what data and why. This team assesses the researcher's request for data and makes sure that the access given is appropriate. This can be programmed to meet the desired data governance protocols.\nOnce a researcher has access to the relevant data, they must develop a prognostic model. Foundry enables this process to be drastically accelerated in several ways:\n\n...Every study starts with protocol writing and feasibility testing in order to identify a cohort of patients that is both medically relevant and large enough for statistical analysis. Foundry's cohorting app shortens this process by bringing medical experts data owners and biostatisticians to acommon interface, and building a library of reusable criteria......I can easily adjust the criteria to expand the population without needing to cycle through various data experts to check counts. Traditionally updating inclusion criteria can often take a week or more,meaning months can go by before analysis begins.Next, I need to filter to patients with lung cancer. Instead of spending weeks compiling the necessary code sets and logic to define this disease state, I can search our phenotype library and pull from the experience of other experts.-Benjamin Amor, Palantir Forward Deployed Engineer\n\nAnalysis work can be done in multiple environments seamlessly, including R, Python, and SQL. These are directly integrated into Foundry. This enables Foundry to leverage the massive open source support for R, which has grown tonearly 17,500 different packages. Think of R packages like little software kits/apps for data scientists.\n\n(Image Source: Palantir)\nThis capability combines with cloud computing, giving data scientists the ability to offload computationally intensive workloads to high-performance computing centers. At the flick of a finger, a data scientist can spool up the massive computing power needed to analyze a large set of medical imaging data. As GPUs and other types of acceleration hardware become more powerful, the number of possibilities and speed at which they can be analyzed will continue to increase.\nMost importantly, the information gained from this analysis can be shared with the entire teamwithout actually having to share access to sensitive data.Making all of this possible is the quick unification of data from disparate sources, many different organizations with highly variable and idiosyncratic data architectures. Foundry can not only protect sensitive data, but it can cut the time needed to standardize such data from years to weeks.\n\nThe science is really accelerated, because instead of every time reinventing the wheel, you pick the parts off the shelf that you need to use. You modify them as you want, but they're reusable so we don't have to keep designing it each time.Lots of people have large data sets, but if you make them into knowledge, or you make them usable to create knowledge, that's the secret sauce. That's what Palantir gives us. That ease of use.-Ken Gersing M.D., NCATS Director of Informatics\n\nThe implementation of Foundry as an organizational 'data OS' continues to build value over time, acting as a repository for information that can be leveraged later. Past research that had previously uninteresting results might accelerate future research. Palantir refers to this as the creation of \"knowledge objects\", all fully traceable back to the raw data that was used to produce them.\nIndustrials\nThe second half of the presentation highlighted industrial applications, the most impressive of which centered around managing complex supply chains. A Palantir engineer explained how the company has worked closely with customers to integrate their needs directly into Foundry.\n\nWe've spent years working on these problems. We've actually been able to bake these hard-earned learnings back into the platform. So, now you can apply these to a specific customer's context in a matter of weeks.So, part of this is what we call software defined data integrations. Basically taking what used to take months or even years of painful manual work, and you need specialist knowledge of the underlying data sources, and actually just replacing that with a few clicks-Liam Mawe, Palantir Forward Deployed Engineer\n\nIn other words, Palantir can take an insurmountable patchwork of aging ERP and CRM infrastructure and quickly integrate it into a usable platform. It can even combine this with granular data from IoT sensors. This can all be done at petabyte scale, and be up and running in a matter of days or weeks, without the need to build a new system from the ground up.\n(Image sources: Palantir)\nThis enables companies to better manage complex supply chains, track quality control, optimize production, respond to disruptions, and scan for potential problems or weaknesses. Foundry makes this all seem so easy and intuitive because it converts impossible levels of complexity into manageable data assets. A nontechnical user can be up and running quickly.\n\nPreviously it would have been impossible to respond with this level of understanding. But what's actually even more exciting here is that instead of manually comparing a few scenarios, I can actually choose the exact set of decisions that will optimize for the factors I care about most, which of course will change depending on the current circumstances.So while this might look simple, behind the scenes Foundry is comparing potentially thousands of possible scenarios to help this logistics manager make a final decision on the best outcome... keeping business running smoothly and customers on the move.Once I'm able to fully understand and react to today's challenges, the change models underpinning the supply chain critically allow simulation of future events to rebalance trade-offs effectively. So starting to shift from reaction to anticipation of the global supply chain.-Liam Mawe, Palantir Forward Deployed Engineer\n\nManagers can then take things a step further, and actually analyze hypothetical future scenarios. The granularity and accuracy of such simulations will only increase as new communications technologies (such as 5G) bring new levels of connectivity to IoT sensors and nodes.\n\nSupply chain and logistics managers were previously forced to make these incredibly complex trade-offs with only a narrow view of the available context. But now with the supply chain archetype, we can not only gain an accurate and granular view of today's risks, but can also simulate future scenarios and make adjustments to make sure ournetwork is ready to take on the challenges of tomorrow.So just to give you an idea of the speed and impact of the archetype, one of our industrial customers had an incredibly complex supply chain landscape with dozens of data sources, including 27 separate ERPs.With foundry, in hours they had their first integrated view of the supply chain. Within two days they were already proactively alerting on potential bottlenecks, and in just two weeks had identified around $50 million in working capital while simultaneously improving the robustness of the supply chain to react to future shocks.-Liam Mawe, Palantir Forward Deployed Engineer\n\nTo an IT executive, this probably sounds more like a miracle than a case study. The presentation on industrials also focused on a few other use-cases, but the supply chain analysis was by far the most impressive.\nDeep roots are not reached by the frost\nThe fact that a presentation that might have ignited investor interest in the stock and sent it skyrocketing wasn't promoted to investors at all tells you something very important. Demand for the type of 'data OS' that Palantir provides is heating up, and Palantir is now focused on marketing to potential customers in a very active way.\n\nThis holy grail of making data actionable by tying it into the critical business systems that power a company - turning the data warehouse into a \"central nervous system\" for the business - is what's driving incredible growth at some of the most important startups in Silicon Valley, including Canva, Drizly, Figma, Notion, Loom, Clearbit, and many more.-David Ulevitch, Andreessen Horowitz\n\nThis is evident by the fact that there has been a rush of VC capital into startup competitors. EvenNvidia(NASDAQ:NVDA) is scrambling to get in on the action. Earlier this year, Palantir andIBMformed a partnership together.\nPalantir has a nearly two-decade head start, and any advantages that might have come from working on classifiedSAP/SCIlevel software. The CTO of Splunk (SPLK)resigned the day after Palantir's Double Click event,a move that sent the stock plummeting. Coincidence?\n\nThat's almost always a warning sign for anybody in the cybersecurity business, because unless they are really truly skilled and have been doing cybersecurity as their main business for a long time, they usually don't got this.-Michael Daniel, White House Cybersecurity Coordinator (2012-2017)\n\nThe recent Solar Winds hack, whichenabled hackers to access Microsoft's sensitive source code, has highlighted the fact that a new cold war is being fought in cyberspace. Any startup entering this space, as well as any existing company looking to break in, will have to not only compete with Palantir's lengthy head start but will also have to provide cybersecurity capabilities that match the level of sensitivity of the data that they want to manage.\nThis gives Palantir an additional competitive advantage that would be extremely difficult for anyone else to replicate. If you were a CEO or CTO, who would you trust to manage your digital transformation? An 'a16z backed' startup or a company with a lengthy history of classified work for the DoD?\nPalantir's visionary CEO may have been extremely early to the party, but he wasn't wrong.\nConclusion\n\nPalantir's advisors include Condoleezza Rice and former CIA director George Tenet, who says in an interview that \"I wish we had a tool of its power\" before 9/11. General David Petraeus, the most recent former CIA chief, describes Palantir to FORBES as \"a better mousetrap when a better mousetrap was needed\" and calls Karp \"sheer brilliant.\"-Forbes Magazine, 2013\n\nWhy after such a long time, is demand for Palantir's platform suddenly expanding so rapidly?\nIn the case of the 'supply chain archetype', consider all of the investments currently being made to digitize the supply chain. There are a considerable number of companies working on autonomous trucks,which are already running commercial loads. Kroger(NYSE:KR)isbuilding out advanced picking robotic picking systems from Ocado(OTCPK:OCDGF). Boston Dynamics will roll out commercial deployments of robots that can move800 boxes per hournext year. Panasonic(OTCPK:PCRFY)plans to integrate its hardware with logistics software,recently making a $6.5B software acquisition.\nWill companies deploying logistics robots, advanced IoT sensors, and autonomous trucks also want to run their enterprise on a rapidly deployable 'data OS'?\nYou bet. That's why we are long Palantir.
