width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Andreas Rentz</span></p><p>Originally backed by the CIA, Palantir (NYSE:PLTR) is a global software company that has created a suite of gold standard products for large organizations, governments and military customers. The company is poised to ride the growth in the &#34;BigData&#34; industry which is forecasted to be worth $273 billion by 2026. In addition, the recent Ukraine-Russia conflict has heightened geopolitical tensions and made the company&#39;s software even more appealing.</p><p>In my previous post on Palantir stock, I highlighted the stock as having a &#34;Fair value of $10 per share&#34; and stated at the time when the stock was trading at $7/share it was 32% undervalued. Since that post the stock price popped by ~42%, so congratulations to those who invested. However, the company has recently announced muted financials for the second quarter of 2022 and highlighted slowing revenue growth. Thus in this post I&#39;m going to breakdown the latest financials and revisit my valuation with the lower growth rates taken into account, let&#39;s dive in.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/be20bcd04086540035b52475cede4661\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"802\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>PLTR data by YCharts</span></p><p><b>Gold Standard Software</b></p><p>There is a lot of mystery around what exactly Palantir does and I personally believe many investors do not fully understand the business, as very few people have explained it simply. Therefore here is a quick overview of its main products;</p><p><b>Foundry</b></p><p>This is dubbed &#34;The Operating System for the Modern Enterprise &#39;&#39;. Enterprises (large Organizations) tend to have siloed data across multiple business units and require a system that can bring this data together in a safe, secure and intelligent way. Data is only as powerful as the ability to use it, but when siloed it cannot be used effectively for overall business intelligence. Foundry can also use this data to create &#34;Digital Twins&#34; of manufacturing and logistics setups, which is a great way to plan changes and capture data in real time.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cb8eee9f6d33c2b22ac2626af77b9e16\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"417\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Palantir Foundry (Palantir)</span></p><p><b>Gotham</b></p><p>Gotham has been dubbed &#34;The Operating System for Global Decision Making&#34;. This platform enables complex situations with multiple reacting entities to be simulated with real time data feeds to enable faster decisions. A key example, is with the US Army and tracking Battleships around the coast. The Army generals can see the action in real time and setup automated scouting drones to fly to areas for surveillance, should there be any unusual activity in a region.</p><p>Given the Russia-Ukraine War and increased political uncertainty, the need for militaries from around the world to have software like this is becoming even more vital. Their tagline is &#34;Thousands of Users, Millions of Sensors, A Single Pane of Glass&#34;, basically this means a single dashboard to monitor real time operations.</p><p><b>Apollo</b></p><p>The Apollo platform is used for managing production software across major organizations across multiple industries from Airbus to Hyundai and even Rio Tinto, one of the largest mining companies in the world. The sheer range of industries automatically expands the total addressable market for Palantir&#39;s software and thus makes the future growth runway huge.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/59da6851f565be219d049cbce43ad71f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"351\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Palantir Products (Q2 Earnings Report)</span></p><p><b>MetaConstellation</b></p><p>The MetaConstellation product enables the power of Satellite constellations to be harnessed on earth. This even enables Artificial Intelligence models to be leveraged in Orbit, which truly is the next frontier of business intelligence. Space is the next battleground for businesses from Elon Musk&#39;s Starlink to SpaceX and even Bezos Blue Origin. Palantir has recently scored a partnership with Satellogic a leader in Satellite Sub-Meter resolution imaging. &#34;Sub-Meter&#34; effectively means each pixel from a Satellite photograph is less than a meter in width and thus enables the monitoring and tracking of activities on earth. Applications include crop monitoring, disaster relief, military surveillance and even National Security. For all you traders, Satellite imagery has even been used to track oil reserves in containers and thus it can be used to calculate the supply/demand balance and then oil prices. Google also has a Satellite play called &#34;SkyBox&#34;, which it acquired for $500 million a few years back. Google&#39;s platform seems to be focused on improving it&#39;s mapping than for national security applications, like with the Palantir product.</p><p><b>High Retention Rate - Competitive Advantage</b></p><p>Palantir had a net dollar retention rate of 119% as of the second quarter. This means customers are staying with the company and spending more through upsells. In the second quarter conference call, Palantir Founder and CEO Alex Karp spoke in detail about the &#34;stickiness&#34; of Palantir&#39;s products with customers. He states that;</p><blockquote>&#34;In the end, all software products actually have to be measured by is this replaceable, how easy could it be replaced, is the underlying platform durable or fleeting, and could a third party highly technical with massive distribution disrupt these products?</blockquote><blockquote>It would take many, many years of the world&#39;s best engineers to build them -- and you would be building them as we&#39;ve improved them and as we capture the market.&#34; - Palantir CEO Alex Karp</blockquote><p><b>Slowing Second Quarter</b></p><p>Palantir released mixed financial results for the second quarter of 2022. Revenue increased by 26% year over year to $473 million. Now although growth rates were slower than prior quarters such as 30% YoY in Q1, they actually beat analyst estimates by $1.29 million.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/53639040a30e10857c4d577d3acb4b58\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"280\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>US Revenue (Q2 earnings report)</span></p><p>US only revenue popped by 45% year over year to $290 million and commercial revenue also grew a rapid 46% year over year. US commercial revenue was the shining light, as this increased by a blistering 120% year over year. With US Commercial customer count increasing by 250% year over year. This is a big deal as the company had just 34 US commercial customers in Q2 2021 and grew this to 119 customers by Q2 2022.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/40e7b1b024186667b53b85e60ca74bde\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"418\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>US Commercial Customers (Q2 Report)</span></p><p>Palantir&#39;s Healthcare segment also showed rapid growth of 267% year over year, from $42 million to $153 million in revenue. The company has previous scored partnerships with the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK.</p><p>As a software company, Palantir has an extremely high adjusted gross margin of 81%, which has stayed fairly constant (only dipping by 1% percentage point year over year).</p><p>However, the company did produce a heavy loss of $42 million in Q2,22. Earnings Per Share (EPS) was -$0.01, which missed estimates by $0.04. This may seem terrible, but the company states it was driven primarily by losses in Marketable securities. This is a common trend I have seen across earnings reports for companies, as the rising interest rate environment is squeezing the multiples of growth stocks. The good news is Adjusted free cash flow was $61 million, which represents a 13% margin and the seventh consecutive quarter of positive free cash flow.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e5ece7c19769fe1edd7bfd16b12e3cdf\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"286\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Free Cash Flow (Palantir Q2)</span></p><p>The company also has a fortress balance sheet with $2.4 billion in cash and cash equivalents and no debt. In July the company expanded its revolving credit facility by adding $450 million in term loan facility and the option for an additional $950 million if required.</p><p><b>Revised Guidance</b></p><p>Management has revised its guidance down to $1.9 billion for FY22, this would represent just a 23% growth rate year over year. This is a far cry from the 41% growth rate achieved in the year FY21. CEO Alex Karp stated, this lower guidance was due to the &#34;uncertainty toward the end of the year&#34; and goes onto say;</p><blockquote>&#34;As organizations around the world face more pressure and experience more pain, there will be a slowdown in the rate of spending and lengthening of sales cycles, but it will also reveal gaps in enterprises operations, gaps our software can solve. In the short term, this means less revenue now. But on longer time horizons, it accelerates our business&#34; - Palantir CEO Alex Karp</blockquote><p>However, Karp remains &#34;very optimistic that the next three years will look a lot like the last three years&#34;.</p><p><b>Advanced Valuation</b></p><p>In order to value Palantir I have plugged the latest financials into my valuation model, which uses the discounted cash flow method of valuation. I have revised down my prior Revenue estimates of 30% to a 23% growth rate for next year and 28% over the next two to five years. As I believe high inflation won&#39;t last forever and the macroeconomic situation will improve. In addition, I suspect management may be &#34;sandbagging&#34; slightly to lower expectations and then surpass them.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e8d04beb678f88f509d0a855cb26660f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"233\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Palantir Stock Valuation 1 (created by author Ben at Motivation 2 invest)</span></p><p>I have also forecasted its operating margin to increase to 28% over the next 6 years, as the company benefits from high operating leverage from its software platform. In addition, to the high customer retention and upsells mentioned previously.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/411a99d5ee1786e88e1f18c60a8a4399\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"673\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Palantir Stock Valuation 2 (created by author Ben at Motivation 2 Invest)</span></p><p>Given these factors I get a fair value of $9.43 per share, the stock is trading at ~$9.62 and thus is fairly valued at the time of writing.</p><p>As an extra data point Palantir has seen its Price to Sales Ratio compress substantially from over 30 in 2021, to approximately 10 at the time of writing.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b8c31ecac9f324df08a74f01ce45c826\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"802\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>PLTR PS Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts</span></p><p><b>Risks</b></p><p><b>Macroeconomic uncertainty</b></p><p>The high inflation and rising interest rate environment has caused many analysts to forecast a &#34;Recession&#34;. We have already seen multiple companies start to cut costs and although I believe a lot of this is fear driven, it can lengthen the sales cycle for Business to Business product adoption.</p><p><b>Stock Based Compensation</b></p><p>Palantir states a lot of their earnings are &#34;Adjusted&#34;. In fact the word &#34;Adjusted&#34; is used a staggering 35 times in their recent press release. This Adjustment excludes &#34;Stock Based Compensation&#34; which was a staggering $146 million in Q2,22 or a whopping 30% of its $473 million in revenue. Now although this is having improved since the $233 million in Q2, 2021, it is a substantial expense which is overlooked. On a positive note, recruiting high quality talent is extremely challenging these days and thus companies must offer lucrative stock compensation packages to attract the best.

The company is poised to ride the growth in the \"BigData\" industry which is forecasted to be worth $273 billion by 2026. In addition, the recent Ukraine-Russia conflict has heightened geopolitical tensions and made the company's software even more appealing.In my previous post on Palantir stock, I highlighted the stock as having a \"Fair value of $10 per share\" and stated at the time when the stock was trading at $7/share it was 32% undervalued. Since that post the stock price popped by ~42%, so congratulations to those who invested. However, the company has recently announced muted financials for the second quarter of 2022 and highlighted slowing revenue growth. Thus in this post I'm going to breakdown the latest financials and revisit my valuation with the lower growth rates taken into account, let's dive in.PLTR data by YChartsGold Standard SoftwareThere is a lot of mystery around what exactly Palantir does and I personally believe many investors do not fully understand the business, as very few people have explained it simply. Therefore here is a quick overview of its main products;FoundryThis is dubbed \"The Operating System for the Modern Enterprise ''. Enterprises (large Organizations) tend to have siloed data across multiple business units and require a system that can bring this data together in a safe, secure and intelligent way. Data is only as powerful as the ability to use it, but when siloed it cannot be used effectively for overall business intelligence. Foundry can also use this data to create \"Digital Twins\" of manufacturing and logistics setups, which is a great way to plan changes and capture data in real time.Palantir Foundry (Palantir)GothamGotham has been dubbed \"The Operating System for Global Decision Making\". This platform enables complex situations with multiple reacting entities to be simulated with real time data feeds to enable faster decisions. A key example, is with the US Army and tracking Battleships around the coast. The Army generals can see the action in real time and setup automated scouting drones to fly to areas for surveillance, should there be any unusual activity in a region.Given the Russia-Ukraine War and increased political uncertainty, the need for militaries from around the world to have software like this is becoming even more vital. Their tagline is \"Thousands of Users, Millions of Sensors, A Single Pane of Glass\", basically this means a single dashboard to monitor real time operations.ApolloThe Apollo platform is used for managing production software across major organizations across multiple industries from Airbus to Hyundai and even Rio Tinto, one of the largest mining companies in the world. The sheer range of industries automatically expands the total addressable market for Palantir's software and thus makes the future growth runway huge.Palantir Products (Q2 Earnings Report)MetaConstellationThe MetaConstellation product enables the power of Satellite constellations to be harnessed on earth. This even enables Artificial Intelligence models to be leveraged in Orbit, which truly is the next frontier of business intelligence. Space is the next battleground for businesses from Elon Musk's Starlink to SpaceX and even Bezos Blue Origin. Palantir has recently scored a partnership with Satellogic a leader in Satellite Sub-Meter resolution imaging. \"Sub-Meter\" effectively means each pixel from a Satellite photograph is less than a meter in width and thus enables the monitoring and tracking of activities on earth. Applications include crop monitoring, disaster relief, military surveillance and even National Security. For all you traders, Satellite imagery has even been used to track oil reserves in containers and thus it can be used to calculate the supply/demand balance and then oil prices. Google also has a Satellite play called \"SkyBox\", which it acquired for $500 million a few years back. Google's platform seems to be focused on improving it's mapping than for national security applications, like with the Palantir product.High Retention Rate - Competitive AdvantagePalantir had a net dollar retention rate of 119% as of the second quarter. This means customers are staying with the company and spending more through upsells. In the second quarter conference call, Palantir Founder and CEO Alex Karp spoke in detail about the \"stickiness\" of Palantir's products with customers. He states that;\"In the end, all software products actually have to be measured by is this replaceable, how easy could it be replaced, is the underlying platform durable or fleeting, and could a third party highly technical with massive distribution disrupt these products?It would take many, many years of the world's best engineers to build them -- and you would be building them as we've improved them and as we capture the market.\" - Palantir CEO Alex KarpSlowing Second QuarterPalantir released mixed financial results for the second quarter of 2022. Revenue increased by 26% year over year to $473 million. Now although growth rates were slower than prior quarters such as 30% YoY in Q1, they actually beat analyst estimates by $1.29 million.US Revenue (Q2 earnings report)US only revenue popped by 45% year over year to $290 million and commercial revenue also grew a rapid 46% year over year. US commercial revenue was the shining light, as this increased by a blistering 120% year over year. With US Commercial customer count increasing by 250% year over year. This is a big deal as the company had just 34 US commercial customers in Q2 2021 and grew this to 119 customers by Q2 2022.US Commercial Customers (Q2 Report)Palantir's Healthcare segment also showed rapid growth of 267% year over year, from $42 million to $153 million in revenue. The company has previous scored partnerships with the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK.As a software company, Palantir has an extremely high adjusted gross margin of 81%, which has stayed fairly constant (only dipping by 1% percentage point year over year).However, the company did produce a heavy loss of $42 million in Q2,22. Earnings Per Share (EPS) was -$0.01, which missed estimates by $0.04. This may seem terrible, but the company states it was driven primarily by losses in Marketable securities. This is a common trend I have seen across earnings reports for companies, as the rising interest rate environment is squeezing the multiples of growth stocks. The good news is Adjusted free cash flow was $61 million, which represents a 13% margin and the seventh consecutive quarter of positive free cash flow.Free Cash Flow (Palantir Q2)The company also has a fortress balance sheet with $2.4 billion in cash and cash equivalents and no debt. In July the company expanded its revolving credit facility by adding $450 million in term loan facility and the option for an additional $950 million if required.Revised GuidanceManagement has revised its guidance down to $1.9 billion for FY22, this would represent just a 23% growth rate year over year. This is a far cry from the 41% growth rate achieved in the year FY21. CEO Alex Karp stated, this lower guidance was due to the \"uncertainty toward the end of the year\" and goes onto say;\"As organizations around the world face more pressure and experience more pain, there will be a slowdown in the rate of spending and lengthening of sales cycles, but it will also reveal gaps in enterprises operations, gaps our software can solve. In the short term, this means less revenue now. But on longer time horizons, it accelerates our business\" - Palantir CEO Alex KarpHowever, Karp remains \"very optimistic that the next three years will look a lot like the last three years\".Advanced ValuationIn order to value Palantir I have plugged the latest financials into my valuation model, which uses the discounted cash flow method of valuation. I have revised down my prior Revenue estimates of 30% to a 23% growth rate for next year and 28% over the next two to five years. As I believe high inflation won't last forever and the macroeconomic situation will improve. In addition, I suspect management may be \"sandbagging\" slightly to lower expectations and then surpass them.Palantir Stock Valuation 1 (created by author Ben at Motivation 2 invest)I have also forecasted its operating margin to increase to 28% over the next 6 years, as the company benefits from high operating leverage from its software platform. In addition, to the high customer retention and upsells mentioned previously.Palantir Stock Valuation 2 (created by author Ben at Motivation 2 Invest)Given these factors I get a fair value of $9.43 per share, the stock is trading at ~$9.62 and thus is fairly valued at the time of writing.As an extra data point Palantir has seen its Price to Sales Ratio compress substantially from over 30 in 2021, to approximately 10 at the time of writing.PLTR PS Ratio (Forward) data by YChartsRisksMacroeconomic uncertaintyThe high inflation and rising interest rate environment has caused many analysts to forecast a \"Recession\". We have already seen multiple companies start to cut costs and although I believe a lot of this is fear driven, it can lengthen the sales cycle for Business to Business product adoption.Stock Based CompensationPalantir states a lot of their earnings are \"Adjusted\". In fact the word \"Adjusted\" is used a staggering 35 times in their recent press release. This Adjustment excludes \"Stock Based Compensation\" which was a staggering $146 million in Q2,22 or a whopping 30% of its $473 million in revenue. Now although this is having improved since the $233 million in Q2, 2021, it is a substantial expense which is overlooked. On a positive note, recruiting high quality talent is extremely challenging these days and thus companies must offer lucrative stock compensation packages to attract the best. As long as the amount of stock based compensation relative to total revenue declines over time, then this can be an effective strategy and thus it's an indicator to watch.Palantir Stock based Compensation (created by author Ben at Motivation 2 Invest)Final ThoughtsPalantir is a best in class leader in software for enterprises and national security applications. The founder led company is growing its commercial revenue strong and has a large TAM to attack. However, the slowing growth, \"fair\" valuation and monstrous stock compensation makes this stock speculative in the short term, therefore I have labeled the stock as a \"Hold\".","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":340,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9990802792,"gmtCreate":1660317408618,"gmtModify":1676533450406,"author":{"id":"3580382876614706","authorId":"3580382876614706","name":"Bustylibra","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee53d184a3c50326ddcb4185c2a74ccb","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580382876614706","authorIdStr":"3580382876614706"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"nothin smells like \"buy buy buy\" than pltr","listText":"nothin smells like \"buy buy buy\" than pltr","text":"nothin smells like \"buy buy buy\" than pltr","images":[{"img":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/1a2f30d7b8aabbc54432cb2d0bce274e","width":"1170","height":"2780"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9990802792","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":310,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9990802184,"gmtCreate":1660317348450,"gmtModify":1676533450390,"author":{"id":"3580382876614706","authorId":"3580382876614706","name":"Bustylibra","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee53d184a3c50326ddcb4185c2a74ccb","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580382876614706","authorIdStr":"3580382876614706"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice&nbsp;","listText":"Nice&nbsp;","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9990802184","repostId":"1190571853","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1190571853","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1660308827,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1190571853?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-08-12 20:53","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Palantir: Utter Disaster","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1190571853","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryThere is no faith in Palantir right now.Headline results were mixed at best.Expenses are on t","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Summary</b></p><ul><li>There is no faith in Palantir right now.</li><li>Headline results were mixed at best.</li><li>Expenses are on the rise, but cash flow is positive and the balance sheet is pristine.</li><li>The pace of growth is clearly slowing, and that is a major issue for an earnings-light company.</li></ul><p>So, Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:PLTR) stock has been one of the best trading stocks you can ask for. It moves with extreme swings higher and lower, our traders have made a bundle, especially by selling premium (i.e., puts and calls). We have stood behind the technology as a gamechanger. This is truly an innovative and disruptive company that has massive reach to both the commercial and government sectors.</p><p>The company is operating in the most important currency of our lifetimes: big data. And while the company innovates, and helps its clients understand data and make decisions, as an investment this has been complete trash, really an utter disaster. That may not be a technical finance term in the literature, but it is a term you hear often at hedge funds and trading floors. Frankly, while we believe in the ability of the company to deliver long-term, and we own some of it, it has been an utter disaster for longs that are not trading in and out. While we are up off the bottom, there are still so many retail &#34;bag-holders&#34; out there.</p><p><b>Trading not investing</b></p><p>The only ones making money in this stock are trading in and out. You can make good money holding a core investment and selling calls, or even selling puts, due to the volatility. Those who scalp nickels and dimes are doing well. Those who are caught near the bottom are hit hard. But investing here requires extreme patience, and frankly, while we get the win on the trades over and over, we recognize that investors are getting slammed here.</p><p><b>Pressure mounts</b></p><p>Unfortunately, despite a market rally, this remains a trader&#39;s market right now, and we think that is the best way to handle Palantir for now. That said, we think you can hold a small core position for the long-term, but with all of the issues facing the company from dilution to a questionable management team, the economic picture has been poor for the company, making matters worse. Governments are spending less. Businesses are tightening up. While we think you can see business recognize the money saving potential of decision making algorithms, company capex on things like this tends to get cut first when businesses tighten their belt. This is a near-term issue, while things like dilution are longer-term. The thing is, we think you should trade this name. We hate to see investors lose money, and we know it can be painful, but it&#39;s been complete trash, in our humble opinion. Is all hope lost here?</p><p><b>Companies like Palantir tend to be expensive before they finally sustain earnings</b></p><p>Companies like Palantir are indeed often extremely expensive in the early stages. Granted, this company has been around for a long time, but is newly public, barely two years old here public. You really cannot value them on an earnings basis because there are no or very little earnings often as they ramp up. Palantir, as we mentioned has that massive dilution problem, which means consistent positive EPS gets kicked further down the road. We think Palantir has a lot of potential, but this market is beyond unforgiving to those companies that do not make money or have sky high valuations. The last few weeks have seen a huge tech rally, and Palantir stock began to see a big bid up, until this week.</p><p><b>Little faith in Palantir</b></p><p>Investors are now starting to see that Palantir may lose money or breakeven for years. Of course, the theory goes that companies like this will lose money as they spend to attract customers and build their moat. They invest heavily in their growth while seeing revenues increase dramatically. And as we know, Palantir is seeing revenues grow tremendously, but even that pace of growth is slowing, and that is a huge risk. If you believe in the tech (we do) you can add selectively to a well-rounded portfolio to improve cost basis, and put faith in management that it can deliver on growing the business profitably without diluting shareholders into oblivion, but it may take years to get a return. It is just easier to make 5,6,7, even 10% on this name by trading over and over. Investing requires patience and belief that things will improve. Right now, this is a tall order for this company and management. There is no, or very little faith.</p><p>While operationally the company is growing sufficiently, management has some credibility issues. What one has to do is determine if what the company offers will solve enough headaches for customers that eventually the growing sales turn into sustained and growing profits. However, the most recent quarter was also &#34;trash,&#34; as we say.</p><p><b>Headline earnings figures mixed</b></p><p>In the just-reported quarter, performance was pretty mixed on the top and bottom lines with revenue just a touch ahead of consensus estimates, and earnings missing horribly. Total revenue grew 25.9% year-over-year to $473.0 million, beating estimates by just over $1 million. However, its profitability was lower than expected by $0.04, and worse, guidance was far less than consensus. That crushed the stock&#39;s momentum that it had going for it. Now revenues are only growing in the 20% range, versus 30+. Ouch. Further, most expected the company to make a tiny profit this quarter, and instead it lost money. Ouch.</p><p><b>Palantir&#39;s Government and Commercial sectors both showing growth</b></p><p>As you likely are aware, Palantir has two reporting segments: both the government and commercial segments. The commercial revenue stream continues to grow rapidly, while government results seem to be slowing. There is a ton of disagreement out there on whether the somewhat shaky economy will help or hurt, but we think it definitely slows both sectors, especially government.</p><p>Deceleration of revenue growth is definitely a negative for a company like this that does not enjoy high earnings. The revenues did rise 26% from last year, and the company&#39;s customer count increased to 304, up from 169 a year ago, but sequentially customer growth seems to be slowing. Palantir added 27 net new customers in the second quarter, with 19 net new commercial customers. We think it is important to note that the commercial space is doing well. The commercial revenue is expanding rapidly, increasing 132% in 2021, and here in Q2, it rose 46% year-over-year. That said, each earnings report it seems the year-over-year growth is a little less. Not great.</p><p>The government business growth has just stalled. Here government revenue expanded to $263 million in revenue in Q2, rising 9% quarter-over-quarter. One positive is that health care (both in government and also commercial) has become a substantial and rapidly growing business, generating approximately $153 million in revenue in the first half of 2022, up from $42 million in the first half of 2020. Decent growth.</p><p><b>Margins show good news</b></p><p>For as much as the company seemed to have whiffed, there has been pockets of good news. Palantir is seeing very positive momentum in its margins. Positive movement in margins is important in a software company as it really highlights strengths, or weaknesses, in the way it distributes its products. Palantir is delivering here. Adjusted gross margin, (these are the margins which excludes the horrible dilutive stock-based compensation expenses) was 81%. The adjusted income from operations, excluding stock-based compensation and related employer payroll taxes, was $108 million, representing adjusted operating margin of 23% ahead of management&#39;s prior guidance of 20%.</p><p>Palantir expenses are on the rise but cash flow is positive.</p><p>While margins were solid, adjusted expenses are on the rise. Expenses were $365 million, up 11% sequentially. With the revenue number and higher expenses however, despite margins, led to a loss in the quarter. As mentioned adjusted earnings per share was a loss of $0.01. Some of this was that there was a $0.05 impact driven primarily by losses on securities held.</p><p>The company also generated $62 million in cash from operations, and the adjusted free cash flow was $61 million. That was the seventh consecutive quarter of positive free cash flow. Over the last year Palantir generated $314 million in adjusted free cash flow. The balance sheet is anything but trash. The company still has a solid $2.4 billion in cash and cash equivalents and absolutely no debt. Now that said, the company did decide a few weeks ago to expand its revolving credit facility by adding a $450 million new incremental delayed draw term loan facility. Long story short, the company has liquidity if needed. Overall, they have an additional liquidity source up to $950 million and it remains entirely undrawn.</p><p>The reason we explain that is this company is in no danger of any sort of bankruptcies. The investment might be horrible as sustained positive EPS remains elusive, but the balance sheet is nice.</p><p><b>Palantir stock valuation</b></p><p>When we look at the valuation of Palantir stock, the bottom line is the stock is expensive to own. Sure, looking at traditional price-to-earnings is futile, but if you did you would see a stock at like 170X FWD EPS. Very pricey. Perhaps the more appropriate measure is the price-to-sales ratio, but not only is this still very high, the market has basically said it is no longer willing to pay for sky high multiples here in 2022. Keep that in mind. At 10.4X sales, the stock is relatively cheaper than it has ever been, but it is still not &#34;cheap&#34; by any stretch at all. We like the cash flow metrics, though the price to cash flow is still about 70X.</p><p><b>Guidance was more than disappointing</b></p><p>The biggest concern right now is not valuation, or the Q2 earnings results. Nor is it the fact that the stock has been a trash investment. The biggest issue right now is also not the never ending dilution (which stinks). It is not the broader market risk either. The largest issue is a slowdown in performance, the slowing growth of revenues, and continued reduced guidance including here in Q3. The Q3 guidance was pretty weak. For Q3 2022, the company &#34;expects revenue of between $474 million to $475 million&#34; which was way below consensus of $505 million. For the year, we are looking at nearly 5% lower revenues than expected. Ouch. For the year management guided &#34;revenue of $1.9 billion&#34; vs. consensus of $1.98 billion. Adjusted income from operations should be $341 million to $343 million.</p><p>So, what is our take?</p><p>We would be selling calls here on the next pop. The volatility is high here and premiums are hefty. On the next big downturn, sell puts a month or two out and out of the money. If assigned, turn right around and sell calls. Trade around the position. Palantir&#39;s growth is slowly fading, though still strong. We also think profitability is elusive. Dilution could continue so long that positive EPS becomes out of reach without future buybacks. Stick to trading the name, or buy a few shares and come back in 10 years.</p><p><b>Take home</b></p><p>We love that the company operates with no debt and has nice positive free cash flow.

(NYSE:PLTR) stock has been one of the best trading stocks you can ask for. It moves with extreme swings higher and lower, our traders have made a bundle, especially by selling premium (i.e., puts and calls). We have stood behind the technology as a gamechanger. This is truly an innovative and disruptive company that has massive reach to both the commercial and government sectors.The company is operating in the most important currency of our lifetimes: big data. And while the company innovates, and helps its clients understand data and make decisions, as an investment this has been complete trash, really an utter disaster. That may not be a technical finance term in the literature, but it is a term you hear often at hedge funds and trading floors. Frankly, while we believe in the ability of the company to deliver long-term, and we own some of it, it has been an utter disaster for longs that are not trading in and out. While we are up off the bottom, there are still so many retail \"bag-holders\" out there.Trading not investingThe only ones making money in this stock are trading in and out. You can make good money holding a core investment and selling calls, or even selling puts, due to the volatility. Those who scalp nickels and dimes are doing well. Those who are caught near the bottom are hit hard. But investing here requires extreme patience, and frankly, while we get the win on the trades over and over, we recognize that investors are getting slammed here.Pressure mountsUnfortunately, despite a market rally, this remains a trader's market right now, and we think that is the best way to handle Palantir for now. That said, we think you can hold a small core position for the long-term, but with all of the issues facing the company from dilution to a questionable management team, the economic picture has been poor for the company, making matters worse. Governments are spending less. Businesses are tightening up. While we think you can see business recognize the money saving potential of decision making algorithms, company capex on things like this tends to get cut first when businesses tighten their belt. This is a near-term issue, while things like dilution are longer-term. The thing is, we think you should trade this name. We hate to see investors lose money, and we know it can be painful, but it's been complete trash, in our humble opinion. Is all hope lost here?Companies like Palantir tend to be expensive before they finally sustain earningsCompanies like Palantir are indeed often extremely expensive in the early stages. Granted, this company has been around for a long time, but is newly public, barely two years old here public. You really cannot value them on an earnings basis because there are no or very little earnings often as they ramp up. Palantir, as we mentioned has that massive dilution problem, which means consistent positive EPS gets kicked further down the road. We think Palantir has a lot of potential, but this market is beyond unforgiving to those companies that do not make money or have sky high valuations. The last few weeks have seen a huge tech rally, and Palantir stock began to see a big bid up, until this week.Little faith in PalantirInvestors are now starting to see that Palantir may lose money or breakeven for years. Of course, the theory goes that companies like this will lose money as they spend to attract customers and build their moat. They invest heavily in their growth while seeing revenues increase dramatically. And as we know, Palantir is seeing revenues grow tremendously, but even that pace of growth is slowing, and that is a huge risk. If you believe in the tech (we do) you can add selectively to a well-rounded portfolio to improve cost basis, and put faith in management that it can deliver on growing the business profitably without diluting shareholders into oblivion, but it may take years to get a return. It is just easier to make 5,6,7, even 10% on this name by trading over and over. Investing requires patience and belief that things will improve. Right now, this is a tall order for this company and management. There is no, or very little faith.While operationally the company is growing sufficiently, management has some credibility issues. What one has to do is determine if what the company offers will solve enough headaches for customers that eventually the growing sales turn into sustained and growing profits. However, the most recent quarter was also \"trash,\" as we say.Headline earnings figures mixedIn the just-reported quarter, performance was pretty mixed on the top and bottom lines with revenue just a touch ahead of consensus estimates, and earnings missing horribly. Total revenue grew 25.9% year-over-year to $473.0 million, beating estimates by just over $1 million. However, its profitability was lower than expected by $0.04, and worse, guidance was far less than consensus. That crushed the stock's momentum that it had going for it. Now revenues are only growing in the 20% range, versus 30+. Ouch. Further, most expected the company to make a tiny profit this quarter, and instead it lost money. Ouch.Palantir's Government and Commercial sectors both showing growthAs you likely are aware, Palantir has two reporting segments: both the government and commercial segments. The commercial revenue stream continues to grow rapidly, while government results seem to be slowing. There is a ton of disagreement out there on whether the somewhat shaky economy will help or hurt, but we think it definitely slows both sectors, especially government.Deceleration of revenue growth is definitely a negative for a company like this that does not enjoy high earnings. The revenues did rise 26% from last year, and the company's customer count increased to 304, up from 169 a year ago, but sequentially customer growth seems to be slowing. Palantir added 27 net new customers in the second quarter, with 19 net new commercial customers. We think it is important to note that the commercial space is doing well. The commercial revenue is expanding rapidly, increasing 132% in 2021, and here in Q2, it rose 46% year-over-year. That said, each earnings report it seems the year-over-year growth is a little less. Not great.The government business growth has just stalled. Here government revenue expanded to $263 million in revenue in Q2, rising 9% quarter-over-quarter. One positive is that health care (both in government and also commercial) has become a substantial and rapidly growing business, generating approximately $153 million in revenue in the first half of 2022, up from $42 million in the first half of 2020. Decent growth.Margins show good newsFor as much as the company seemed to have whiffed, there has been pockets of good news. Palantir is seeing very positive momentum in its margins. Positive movement in margins is important in a software company as it really highlights strengths, or weaknesses, in the way it distributes its products. Palantir is delivering here. Adjusted gross margin, (these are the margins which excludes the horrible dilutive stock-based compensation expenses) was 81%. The adjusted income from operations, excluding stock-based compensation and related employer payroll taxes, was $108 million, representing adjusted operating margin of 23% ahead of management's prior guidance of 20%.Palantir expenses are on the rise but cash flow is positive.While margins were solid, adjusted expenses are on the rise. Expenses were $365 million, up 11% sequentially. With the revenue number and higher expenses however, despite margins, led to a loss in the quarter. As mentioned adjusted earnings per share was a loss of $0.01. Some of this was that there was a $0.05 impact driven primarily by losses on securities held.The company also generated $62 million in cash from operations, and the adjusted free cash flow was $61 million. That was the seventh consecutive quarter of positive free cash flow. Over the last year Palantir generated $314 million in adjusted free cash flow. The balance sheet is anything but trash. The company still has a solid $2.4 billion in cash and cash equivalents and absolutely no debt. Now that said, the company did decide a few weeks ago to expand its revolving credit facility by adding a $450 million new incremental delayed draw term loan facility. Long story short, the company has liquidity if needed. Overall, they have an additional liquidity source up to $950 million and it remains entirely undrawn.The reason we explain that is this company is in no danger of any sort of bankruptcies. The investment might be horrible as sustained positive EPS remains elusive, but the balance sheet is nice.Palantir stock valuationWhen we look at the valuation of Palantir stock, the bottom line is the stock is expensive to own. Sure, looking at traditional price-to-earnings is futile, but if you did you would see a stock at like 170X FWD EPS. Very pricey. Perhaps the more appropriate measure is the price-to-sales ratio, but not only is this still very high, the market has basically said it is no longer willing to pay for sky high multiples here in 2022. Keep that in mind. At 10.4X sales, the stock is relatively cheaper than it has ever been, but it is still not \"cheap\" by any stretch at all. We like the cash flow metrics, though the price to cash flow is still about 70X.Guidance was more than disappointingThe biggest concern right now is not valuation, or the Q2 earnings results. Nor is it the fact that the stock has been a trash investment. The biggest issue right now is also not the never ending dilution (which stinks). It is not the broader market risk either. The largest issue is a slowdown in performance, the slowing growth of revenues, and continued reduced guidance including here in Q3. The Q3 guidance was pretty weak. For Q3 2022, the company \"expects revenue of between $474 million to $475 million\" which was way below consensus of $505 million. For the year, we are looking at nearly 5% lower revenues than expected. Ouch. For the year management guided \"revenue of $1.9 billion\" vs. consensus of $1.98 billion. Adjusted income from operations should be $341 million to $343 million.So, what is our take?We would be selling calls here on the next pop. The volatility is high here and premiums are hefty. On the next big downturn, sell puts a month or two out and out of the money. If assigned, turn right around and sell calls. Trade around the position. Palantir's growth is slowly fading, though still strong. We also think profitability is elusive. Dilution could continue so long that positive EPS becomes out of reach without future buybacks. Stick to trading the name, or buy a few shares and come back in 10 years.Take homeWe love that the company operates with no debt and has nice positive free cash flow. The company offers amazing solutions for government and businesses by using big data and using analytics to improve operations. But, investments in the stock have been trashed. Traders have won over and over again. While growth will continue, and the balance sheet is solid, we have to keep an eye on the pace of customer growth and contract values. On the next drawdown to the $8 range, we would be buyers.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":328,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9990808848,"gmtCreate":1660317255487,"gmtModify":1676533450341,"author":{"id":"3580382876614706","authorId":"3580382876614706","name":"Bustylibra","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee53d184a3c50326ddcb4185c2a74ccb","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580382876614706","authorIdStr":"3580382876614706"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"More upside&nbsp;","listText":"More upside&nbsp;","text":"More upside","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9990808848","repostId":"2258660745","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2258660745","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1660308672,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2258660745?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-08-12 20:51","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Sea Limited (SE) to Report Q2 Earnings: What's in Store?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2258660745","media":"Zacks","summary":"Sea Limited SE is set to release second-quarter 2022 results on Aug 16.The Zacks Consensus Estimate ","content":"<html><body><p><strong>Sea Limited</strong> SE is set to release second-quarter 2022 results on Aug 16.<br/><br/>The Zacks Consensus Estimate for loss has widened by 1 cent to 92 cents per share over the past 30 days.

Sea Limited reported a loss of 61 cents per share in the year-ago quarter.The consensus mark for revenues is currently pegged at $3.05 billion, indicating 25.02% growth from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.The company’s earnings missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in two of the trailing four quarters while beating the same in the remaining, the earnings surprise being -37.88%. \n\nSea Limited Sponsored ADR Price and EPS Surprise\n\nSea Limited Sponsored ADR price-eps-surprise | Sea Limited Sponsored ADR Quote\n\nLet’s see how things have shaped up prior to this announcement.\nFactors at Play for Q2 Results\nSea Limited’s digital entertainment (Garena) and e-commerce businesses are expected to have been the driving factor in the second quarter.Garena is likely to have benefited from stabilizing the player base of Free Fire.The company’s e-commerce segment is likely to have gained traction from a strong uptick in Shopee, its online shopping platform. Increasing monthly active users and improving engagement reflected by growing total time spent bode well for Shopee in the to-be-reported quarter.In the first quarter, Shopee was the top-ranked app in the Shopping category across both iOS and Google Play by average monthly active users and total time spent in the app in each of Southeast Asia, Taiwan and Indonesia, per data.ai. The momentum is expected to have continued in the to-be-reported quarter.Additionally, SeaMoney’s strengthening integration with Shopee is expected to have aided Sea’s digital financial services business.Higher expenses related to the expansion of e-commerce services and continued efforts to integrate the company’s mobile wallet services with the Shopee platform across different markets are expected to have negatively impacted profitability in the to-be-reported quarter.\nWhat Our Model Indicates\nPer the Zacks model, the combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat.

That came despite flat revenue growth for the first time ever, due to Covid-19-related lockdowns in China.Cigna – The insurance company reported better-than-expected profit and revenue for the second quarter and raised its full-year outlook. Cigna was helped by lower costs resulting from a slow rebound in non-urgent medical procedures. Cigna rose 2.6% in premarket trading.Restaurant Brands – The parent of Popeyes, Tim Hortons and Burger King beat top- and bottom-line estimates for its latest quarter, with comparable restaurant sales also rising more than expected. Restaurant Brands added 1.8% in premarket action.Paramount Global – Paramount fell 4% in the premarket despite better-than-expected quarterly results, which got a boost from the success of “Top Gun: Maverick.” Paramount did note that it spent more on its direct-to-consumer services during the quarter, with its flagship Paramount+ streaming service gaining 4.9 million subscribers.Shake Shack – The restaurant chain’s shares slid 5.7% in the premarket despite avoiding an expected loss with a breakeven quarter on an adjusted basis.

Booking Holdings fell 3.1% in the premarket.Clorox – Clorox shares slid 5.9% in premarket trading as higher costs offset price hikes for the company’s consumer products in its latest quarter. Revenue fell slightly below estimates, though earnings did match Wall Street forecasts.Toyota Motor – The automaker’s shares fell 3.5% in premarket action after it reported a 42% drop in profit from a year ago for its latest quarter.

Let’s take a look.PLTR Stock: 3 Analysts Weigh In On Palantir Price PredictionsCredit Suisse has a price target of $25. Analyst Phil Winslow believes that Palantir’s Foundry platform could create “significant value” within commercial businesses. Winslow adds that Palantir’s biggest risk is customer concentration. Finally, the analyst notes that he would like to see evidence on the “evolution of Palantir’s go-to-market model to acquire new commercial clients” to become more bullish on the company.Jefferies has a price target of $21. Analyst Brent Thill believes that fourth-quarter revenue will increase by 30% YOY. In addition, while acknowledging Palantir’s recent commercial revenue slowdown, the analyst believes that the “next leg of growth will likely be driven by further acceleration from the commercial business.”William Blair has a price target between $12 and $16. Analyst Kamil Mielczarek notes that Palantir did not win any significant “new work” during the quarter that ended Sept. 30. Like Thill, Mielczarek is concerned about a slowdown in commercial growth.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":516,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9099221810,"gmtCreate":1643371136833,"gmtModify":1676533812187,"author":{"id":"3580382876614706","authorId":"3580382876614706","name":"Bustylibra","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee53d184a3c50326ddcb4185c2a74ccb","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580382876614706","authorIdStr":"3580382876614706"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"No brainer for a regular savings plan&nbsp;","listText":"No brainer for a regular savings plan&nbsp;","text":"No brainer for a regular savings plan","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9099221810","repostId":"1196333346","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1196333346","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1643251456,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1196333346?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-01-27 10:44","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why Palantir Stock Rose Before Turning Negative","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1196333346","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"What happenedPalantir Technologies(NYSE:PLTR)had a roller-coaster session on the stock market Wednes","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>What happened</b></p><p><b>Palantir Technologies</b>(NYSE:PLTR)had a roller-coaster session on the stock market Wednesday.

This means that in some ways Coinbase's stock price will move with the volatility of cryptocurrencies. The company is now trading at 52-week lows as investors continue moving out of stocks and crypto and more toward cash.Despite the decline in stock price, Coinbase has been working diligently to diversify its business. Namely, the company announced that it will be creating its own non-fungible token (NFT) platform. As Coinbase looks to build the market leader powering the crypto economy, Wood has continued to buy shares in the company. Coinbase holds the top position in two of her exchange-traded funds: ARK Next Generation Internet ETF and ARK Fintech Innovation ETF.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":533,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9099221044,"gmtCreate":1643371054083,"gmtModify":1676533812162,"author":{"id":"3580382876614706","authorId":"3580382876614706","name":"Bustylibra","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee53d184a3c50326ddcb4185c2a74ccb","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580382876614706","authorIdStr":"3580382876614706"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"I am afraid this is the last chance to double down #betterthanblackfriday","listText":"I am afraid this is the last chance to double down #betterthanblackfriday","text":"I am afraid this is the last chance to double down #betterthanblackfriday","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9099221044","repostId":"1173858664","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":373,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9004779026,"gmtCreate":1642714263792,"gmtModify":1676533737703,"author":{"id":"3580382876614706","authorId":"3580382876614706","name":"Bustylibra","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee53d184a3c50326ddcb4185c2a74ccb","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580382876614706","authorIdStr":"3580382876614706"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"At least I know where to direct my disposable income for the next few months&nbsp;","listText":"At least I know where to direct my disposable income for the next few months&nbsp;","text":"At least I know where to direct my disposable income for the next few months","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9004779026","repostId":"1114732808","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1114732808","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1641995536,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1114732808?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-01-12 21:52","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Palantir: Worth $10, But I'll Buy At $15","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1114732808","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"SummaryPalantir's share price has fallen over 30% in the last 6 months, but fundamentals look strong","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Summary</b></p><ul><li>Palantir&#39;s share price has fallen over 30% in the last 6 months, but fundamentals look stronger than ever.</li><li>I see improved profitability in the future and a service that competitors will struggle to replicate.</li><li>Macro headwinds are a challenge, but just.</li><li>At worst, Palantir is worth $10, but I&#39;d definitely add at $15.

There are a lot of other companies in the lucrative space of data analytics, but few that have the capabilities of Palantir. Evidence of this, of course, is the large presence the company has achieved in the public sector.

After all, the company has a levered FCF margin of around 35%.</p><p>But profitability isn’t what the company wants, as it is trying to grow revenues and expand. Having said that, for those that believe profitability is a pipedream, I found the most encouraging evidence of economies of scale in the latest earnings call presentation.During the Q&amp;A section, a very interesting point was made regarding the different modules that the company has been able to create for Foundry. In short, Palantir has been able to create specialized versions of Foundry which can be used for specific situations/industries. In other words, the company has been able to standardize its work to a degree. The data problems that one company faces, aren’t unique and from what I gather, Palantir can now deploy previously created modules to solve similar problems while decreasing the workload and deployment time.</p><p><b>How much is Palantir worth now and in the future?</b></p><p>With all of the above said, Palantir doesn’t seem to me like bad company. But is the valuation stretched?

Also, bear in mind Palantir has typically beaten its revenue forecasts.</p><p>With this revenue and share count, we can easily calculate a target share price, all we need is to assign a P/S multiple.</p><p>In 2021, Palantir has traded at a P/S of around 20 and as high as 30. While I agree that this is on the higher end of the spectrum, it is much more reasonable than assigning a P/S of 5. I would argue the best way to find a reasonable ratio, is to find a comparable company, and I’d say Splunk Inc(NASDAQ:SPLK)is a good start. Splunk, like Palantir, is in the data business, it has similar margins and even a presence in the public sector, making it a close competitor to Palantir.</p><p>Splunk currently has a P/S of around 7.6, but it has also grown revenues at only 10% in the last year, far below Palantir’s 43% growth rate. With this in mind, I could easily justify Palantir having a P/S of 15. Even if you believe both Palantir and Splunk are due for further multiple contractions I think a P/S of 10 for Palantir is as low as the market will go. With that said, I’ll establish a price range using a P/S of 10-15 and using my forecasts for 2022 and 2025.</p><p>Therefore, my price target for 2022 based on P/S would be $11.5-$15.2. By 2025, at the same P/S, the shares would be worth between $24.6-$37. Bear in mind this implies a significant multiple contraction compared to what we have seen in 2021.</p><p><b>Other considerations</b></p><p>I think $10 is a floor that Palantir won’t break. I’d be happy to scoop up those shares at that price, and even at $15. Palantir is well-positioned for long-term growth, and it could pleasantly surprise investors, especially if it can make more inroads in the private sector. For now, indeed, unprofitable companies like Palantir are not fashionable, due to the idea that the Fed will be raising rates “soon”. This is yet to be seen.</p><p>As I’ve mentioned before, inflation will struggle to remain high while money velocity is trending lower. Could we have already seen the highest levels of inflation? Without direct fiscal stimulus (literally sending people money) inflation won’t persist, and without inflation low rates, cheap money and high growth will remain good investments.</p><p><b>Takeaway</b></p><p>Certainly, anything could happen, and it’s important to have a diversified portfolio of companies, but at these prices, Palantir offers limited downside while holding the potential to surprise investors in the next few months and even years.</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: Worth $10, But I'll Buy At $15</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: Worth $10, But I'll Buy At $15\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-01-12 21:52 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4479204-palantir-stock-worth-10-dollars-buy-at-15><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryPalantir's share price has fallen over 30% in the last 6 months, but fundamentals look stronger than ever.I see improved profitability in the future and a service that competitors will struggle...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4479204-palantir-stock-worth-10-dollars-buy-at-15\">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/4479204-palantir-stock-worth-10-dollars-buy-at-15","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1114732808","content_text":"SummaryPalantir's share price has fallen over 30% in the last 6 months, but fundamentals look stronger than ever.I see improved profitability in the future and a service that competitors will struggle to replicate.Macro headwinds are a challenge, but just.At worst, Palantir is worth $10, but I'd definitely add at $15.

With over 700 comments and a significant amount of (negative) feedback, I believe it is appropriate to share my thoughts on some of the most important questions I have received in this article. In terms of disclosure, I do not have a short position in Palantir and do not intend to open one. I simply believe that the company&#39;s stock is difficult, if not impossible, to justify based on the company&#39;s financials.</p><p><b>My $5 Price Target For Palantir</b></p><p>In my previous article, &#34;Palantir: Fair Value Of $5,&#34; I claimed that the big-data company was fundamentally and unjustifiably overvalued. My reasoning was that a company that has been in business for as long as Palantir should have much better financials in place that look significantly better than what we see in the 10Q quarterly reports.</p><p>My main concern was Palantir&#39;s valuation, which requires buyers to pay a sales multiple of twenty. A P/E ratio of 20 would be considered high in normal and more sober times. Even allowing for Palantir&#39;s annual growth rate of 30%+, paying 20 times (expected) sales is still a bit of a stretch and requires a lot of faith that the sales growth will actually materialize. Even if it does, Palantir&#39;s valuation appears indefensible.</p><p>I&#39;d like to take this opportunity to address some of the feedback I received regarding the four areas where I received the most questions (valuation, company losses, moat and scalability).</p><p><b>Valuation</b></p><p>Many readers strongly disagreed with my assessment. The most common question I received centered on the idea that Palantir achieves significant revenue growth and that, as a result of this rapid growth, Palantir deserves a market capitalization of at least $10 billion.</p><p>This argument ignores the fact that, for valuation purposes, the size of the revenue base is just as important as the rate of sales growth. I also don&#39;t deny that Palantir&#39;s revenue is rapidly increasing. According to the company&#39;s long-term sales forecast, the company is aiming for a 30% annual growth rate. Palantir&#39;s outlook was confirmed in the company&#39;s most recent quarterly earnings report, and the company expects 40% growth this year.</p><p>Palantir is rapidly expanding, but the revenue base must be considered alongside the sales growth rate for any sense to be made. If I run a business with $1 million in annual sales and double my sales every year, that doesn&#39;t mean the company &#34;should be worth $10 billion.&#34; This conclusion cannot be reached without taking into account the dollar revenue base. While Palantir&#39;s revenue growth rate of 30% should not be overlooked, it is not 100%.</p><p>Palantir has a market capitalization of $34 billion, and the market expects revenue of $1.53 billion in 2021 and $1.99 billion in 2022. Here, the implied sales multiples are 22 (2021e) and 17 (2022e). Palantir&#39;s growth multiples are excessive and are at risk of further contraction. Paying around 20 times sales for a business, even if it is perfect, is more than a stretch; it may be a suicide mission.</p><p><b>IPO And Losses</b></p><p>In response to my previous article, I received a lot of feedback along the lines of &#34;Palantir is investing money, and this money will come back later in terms of free cash flow,&#34; or &#34;Palantir just had its IPO, and profits are not expected.&#34;</p><p>Both arguments, in my opinion, are flawed.</p><p>Palantir is not a young company that recently went public and is looking for capital to invest. Palantir has been in business since 2003 and has yet to make a profit. In fact, company insiders have taken advantage of the market&#39;s opportunity this year to sell a large number of Class A shares in 2021.This article, which is a must-read for any Palantir investor, delves deeper into the insider sales situation that has emerged this year.</p><p>In other words, insiders with equity stakes are cashing out by dumping shares on unsuspecting retail investors willing to pay 20 times sales for a loss-making company. That story has been told to me several times in my life.</p><p>Palantir is not only losing money this year, as I explained in my previous article. Throughout its existence, the big-data company has suffered losses and accumulated losses at an alarming rate. Palantir&#39;s losses in 2021 are &#34;only&#34; $364 million. The loss may be much lower than last year by the end of September, but it is still a loss.</p><p>And, in business valuation, profits/losses should be just as important as sales forecast, which, in most cases, is positive. The point that I believe was overlooked in my previous Palantir article is that the company has $5.3 billion in accumulated losses. Accounting rules require an accumulated deficit to appear on a company&#39;s balance sheet and is deducted from stockholders&#39; equity. It displays the total of a company&#39;s losses accumulated during its active period of operation. Palantir&#39;s accumulated deficits total $5.3 billion, compared to $7.6 billion in total paid-in capital. In layman&#39;s terms, Palantir has depleted 70% of its investor capital. That&#39;s a frightening figure.</p><p>Concerning the statement &#34;Palantir is investing in its growth and will recoup its investment later&#34;: Palantir has been stuck in this phase for nearly two decades, and the company is still not profitable. Shouldn&#39;t some of the money invested 10 or more years ago have already returned?</p><p>The magnitude of the company&#39;s accumulated deficit, as well as the incredibly long period of time, two decades, during which losses have accumulated, raise serious concerns about Palantir&#39;s capital allocation. How much credit would you or I qualify for if we went to a bank with a 20-year history of making business losses?</p><p><b>Moat</b></p><p>Questions have been raised about why I believe Palantir lacks a significant moat in its business, despite the fact that the company&#39;s clients include numerous government agencies. The implication here appears to be that Palantir&#39;s relationship network serves as a moat.</p><p>Palantir works with a number of cash-rich government agencies that use the company&#39;s technology platforms across the board. I don&#39;t deny that Palantir&#39;s platforms, or &#34;foundries,&#34; as the company refers to them, perform critical data management and analytics functions. Palantir was recently awarded contracts worth millions of dollars by the United States Army and the Space Systems Command. The Army contract is worth more than $800 million, while the Space Systems Command contract is worth $43 million.</p><p>That being said, I do not deny that Palantir has been successful in obtaining contract awards. What I mean is that Palantir must go through competitive processes in order to win bids. Contracts are not awarded based on Palantir&#39;s &#34;relationships&#34; with the government. To be honest, this would be illegal. As a result, the notion that the company&#39;s relationships aid Palantir in the construction of a moat is false.</p><p><b>Scalability</b></p><p>Some of the comments I received focused on Palantir&#39;s ability to capitalize on the big data revolution, as well as Palantir&#39;s scalability.</p><p>But where is this scalability, which is frequently mentioned as a reason to buy the stock?</p><p>Palantir has stated that it requires personnel to walk customers through the functionality of its foundries.

With a large enough customer base, marginal costs can be reduced to zero. This is not the case for Palantir, which must be available to clients to teach them the intricacies of the deployed platforms or walk them through new functionalities. Palantir, in my opinion, is more akin to an IT consulting firm that also sells software products. But I don&#39;t see real scalability with Palantir.</p><p><b>Risks</b></p><p>Palantir is not a profitable company. Palantir is heavily diluted. Insiders at Palantir are selling. Even with 30% annual revenue growth, Palantir&#39;s stock remains wildly overpriced.</p><p>High-multiple stocks, particularly in the technology sector, have recently begun to consolidate, and more downside is on the way as investors become less willing to pay top dollar for businesses that have flown high but failed to meet high expectations.</p><p>Palantir&#39;s valuation is a huge issue, and despite the fact that the big-data company operates in a sexy industry with a lot of hype, the business fundamentals simply do not justify Palantir&#39;s market price.</p><p><b>My Conclusion</b></p><p>I&#39;m not saying Palantir doesn&#39;t have significant annual sales growth. I&#39;m not saying Palantir&#39;s products are useless to the government. What I am saying is that Palantir&#39;s loss-making business does not merit a sales multiple of 20. Even if it was profitable, it wouldn&#39;t deserve this kind of sales multiple.</p><p>That&#39;s why I&#39;m sticking to my $5 price target for Palantir. A $5 price target implies a $10 billion market valuation and a sales multiple of 5, which is still more than generous. Due to the persistence of business losses, an earnings multiple is unfortunately inapplicable here. I believe that the majority of the feedback was well-intentioned, but the bull case still has some serious flaws.</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>Palantir: A Defense Of My $5 Price Target</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: A Defense Of My $5 Price Target\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-01-14 10:28 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4479466-palantir-a-defense-of-my-5-price-target><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryI respond to reader feedback on my most recent Palantir article.Reader feedback is divided into four categories: valuation, company losses, moat, and scalability.I stand by my assertion that ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4479466-palantir-a-defense-of-my-5-price-target\">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/4479466-palantir-a-defense-of-my-5-price-target","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1189278661","content_text":"SummaryI respond to reader feedback on my most recent Palantir article.Reader feedback is divided into four categories: valuation, company losses, moat, and scalability.I stand by my assertion that Palantir is highly overvalued.My previous article on the big-data company Palantir (PLTR)created quite a stir. With over 700 comments and a significant amount of (negative) feedback, I believe it is appropriate to share my thoughts on some of the most important questions I have received in this article. In terms of disclosure, I do not have a short position in Palantir and do not intend to open one. I simply believe that the company's stock is difficult, if not impossible, to justify based on the company's financials.My $5 Price Target For PalantirIn my previous article, \"Palantir: Fair Value Of $5,\" I claimed that the big-data company was fundamentally and unjustifiably overvalued. My reasoning was that a company that has been in business for as long as Palantir should have much better financials in place that look significantly better than what we see in the 10Q quarterly reports.My main concern was Palantir's valuation, which requires buyers to pay a sales multiple of twenty. A P/E ratio of 20 would be considered high in normal and more sober times. Even allowing for Palantir's annual growth rate of 30%+, paying 20 times (expected) sales is still a bit of a stretch and requires a lot of faith that the sales growth will actually materialize. Even if it does, Palantir's valuation appears indefensible.I'd like to take this opportunity to address some of the feedback I received regarding the four areas where I received the most questions (valuation, company losses, moat and scalability).ValuationMany readers strongly disagreed with my assessment. The most common question I received centered on the idea that Palantir achieves significant revenue growth and that, as a result of this rapid growth, Palantir deserves a market capitalization of at least $10 billion.This argument ignores the fact that, for valuation purposes, the size of the revenue base is just as important as the rate of sales growth. I also don't deny that Palantir's revenue is rapidly increasing. According to the company's long-term sales forecast, the company is aiming for a 30% annual growth rate. Palantir's outlook was confirmed in the company's most recent quarterly earnings report, and the company expects 40% growth this year.Palantir is rapidly expanding, but the revenue base must be considered alongside the sales growth rate for any sense to be made. If I run a business with $1 million in annual sales and double my sales every year, that doesn't mean the company \"should be worth $10 billion.\" This conclusion cannot be reached without taking into account the dollar revenue base. While Palantir's revenue growth rate of 30% should not be overlooked, it is not 100%.Palantir has a market capitalization of $34 billion, and the market expects revenue of $1.53 billion in 2021 and $1.99 billion in 2022. Here, the implied sales multiples are 22 (2021e) and 17 (2022e). Palantir's growth multiples are excessive and are at risk of further contraction. Paying around 20 times sales for a business, even if it is perfect, is more than a stretch; it may be a suicide mission.IPO And LossesIn response to my previous article, I received a lot of feedback along the lines of \"Palantir is investing money, and this money will come back later in terms of free cash flow,\" or \"Palantir just had its IPO, and profits are not expected.\"Both arguments, in my opinion, are flawed.Palantir is not a young company that recently went public and is looking for capital to invest. Palantir has been in business since 2003 and has yet to make a profit. In fact, company insiders have taken advantage of the market's opportunity this year to sell a large number of Class A shares in 2021.This article, which is a must-read for any Palantir investor, delves deeper into the insider sales situation that has emerged this year.In other words, insiders with equity stakes are cashing out by dumping shares on unsuspecting retail investors willing to pay 20 times sales for a loss-making company. That story has been told to me several times in my life.Palantir is not only losing money this year, as I explained in my previous article. Throughout its existence, the big-data company has suffered losses and accumulated losses at an alarming rate. Palantir's losses in 2021 are \"only\" $364 million. The loss may be much lower than last year by the end of September, but it is still a loss.And, in business valuation, profits/losses should be just as important as sales forecast, which, in most cases, is positive. The point that I believe was overlooked in my previous Palantir article is that the company has $5.3 billion in accumulated losses. Accounting rules require an accumulated deficit to appear on a company's balance sheet and is deducted from stockholders' equity. It displays the total of a company's losses accumulated during its active period of operation. Palantir's accumulated deficits total $5.3 billion, compared to $7.6 billion in total paid-in capital.

Shouldn't some of the money invested 10 or more years ago have already returned?The magnitude of the company's accumulated deficit, as well as the incredibly long period of time, two decades, during which losses have accumulated, raise serious concerns about Palantir's capital allocation. How much credit would you or I qualify for if we went to a bank with a 20-year history of making business losses?MoatQuestions have been raised about why I believe Palantir lacks a significant moat in its business, despite the fact that the company's clients include numerous government agencies. The implication here appears to be that Palantir's relationship network serves as a moat.Palantir works with a number of cash-rich government agencies that use the company's technology platforms across the board. I don't deny that Palantir's platforms, or \"foundries,\" as the company refers to them, perform critical data management and analytics functions.

If you were lucky enough to own a $3,000 stake in <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b> (NYSE:BRK.A)(NYSE:BRK.B) when he took control of the company in 1965, that position would now be worth nearly $81 million.</p><p>The Oracle of Omaha&#39;s knack for finding high-quality long-term investment opportunities has led to market-crushing results, and his storied performance means the investing world tends to keep a close eye on his company&#39;s holdings. Let&#39;s take a closer look at five top stocks backed by Berkshire Hathaway that are worth buying and holding for the long term.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a99bd55ae86722cb44e242a3e8fcd151\" tg-width=\"2000\" tg-height=\"1333\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>IMAGE SOURCE: THE MOTLEY FOOL.</span></p><p><b>1. Apple</b></p><p>With <b>Apple</b>&#39;s (NASDAQ:AAPL) share price having surged roughly 32.1% over the last year and the company currently sporting a market capitalization of more than $2.76 trillion, it&#39;s not unreasonable to look at the stock with a bit of a cautious eye. On the other hand, there&#39;s basically never been a bad time for<i>long-term</i>investors to buy the stock in the company&#39;s history.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/807818ed8a5e4c2574220b38b5cf3a64\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"433\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>AAPL DATA BY YCHARTS</span></p><p>Apple stands as the largest stock holding in the Berkshire portfolio, by far. Based on the last 13F filing from Buffett&#39;s company, the iPhone-maker accounts for nearly 43% of the investment conglomerate&#39;s stock holdings. That signifies an incredible vote of confidence from the modern era&#39;s most successful investor.</p><p>Between its market-leading mobile hardware and fast-growing software and services ecosystem, Apple&#39;s core businesses continue to look very strong, and it&#39;s likely that the company will also score wins in some exciting new fields. The California-based tech giant is already a leader in the wearable technology space, and it has huge opportunities in augmented reality hardware, autonomous electric vehicles, and other emerging product categories. The recent run-up in valuation means investors may want todollar-cost averageinto Apple stock, but the company looks well-positioned to continue growing over the long term.</p><p><b>2. Verizon</b></p><p>With a multi-billion-dollar investment in the fourth quarter of 2020, Berkshire Hathaway quickly made <b>Verizon Communications</b> (NYSE:VZ) one of its largest stock holdings. Internet communications are at the heart of modern business operations, and the telecom giant&#39;s top-rated service and infrastructure advantages should help it continue to be a category leader.</p><p>Verizon has been spending big to secure spectrum band and build out infrastructure for5G, but it&#39;s still in the early stages of benefiting from the rollout of the next-generation network technology. In addition to offering consumers a major leap forward with upload and download speeds, Verizon&#39;s 5G service will likely also help boost sales and earnings in the enterprise market.</p><p>With shares trading at roughly 10 times this year&#39;s expected earnings and sporting a 4.8% dividend yield, Verizon stock continues to look attractively valued. Investors even have a chance to buy the stock at prices lower than Berkshire got in at.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b30d6f848f83c57969cb29b9d24b3d1b\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"433\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>VZ DATA BY YCHARTS.</span></p><p><b>3. Snowflake</b></p><p>As a cloud software-as-a-service stock that trades at lofty price-to-sales multiple,<b>Snowflake</b> (NYSE:SNOW) is one of the more unusual companies in the Berkshire Hathaway portfolio. While the investment conglomerate has gradually been shifting more of its portfolio weight toward the technology sector, it&#39;s still pretty eye-catching to see Buffett get behind a company that trades at roughly 83 times this year&#39;s expected sales.</p><p>It&#39;s clear that the Oracle of Omaha and the investment team at Berkshire see something special in the data warehousing and analytics player. Snowflake&#39;s platform allows data to be gathered and analyzed from otherwise walled-off sources, enabling applications to have quick and easy access to a much wider spectrum of valuable information. The company offers category-leading service in its niche, and with more customers joining its platform and bringing along valuable data, it&#39;s benefiting from a network effect that could produce a powerful long-term moat.</p><p><b>4. Amazon</b></p><p>Perhaps more so than any other company,<b>Amazon</b>(NASDAQ:AMZN) is built to win the future. The company&#39;s core e-commerce and cloud infrastructure businesses look poised for strong growth over the long term as these industries continue to grow, and its core business pillars should provide the foundation for new growth bets that help the company continue to expand.</p><p>With a market cap of more than $1.6 trillion, Amazon is already a massive company, but it still has plenty of room for growth over the long term. The company&#39;s strength in e-commerce and cloud services has helped it rapidly build its position in the digital advertising market, and Amazon&#39;s excellent collection of resources and proven penchant for innovation suggest that it will be able to continue scoring wins in new categories that drive growth and complement its existing businesses.</p><p><b>5. Berkshire Hathaway</b></p><p>If you want to invest like Buffett, why limit yourself to picking just a handful of stocks in the Berkshire portfolio?

If you were lucky enough to own a $3,000 stake in Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A)(NYSE:BRK.B) when he took control of the company in 1965, that position would now be worth nearly $81 million.The Oracle of Omaha's knack for finding high-quality long-term investment opportunities has led to market-crushing results, and his storied performance means the investing world tends to keep a close eye on his company's holdings. Let's take a closer look at five top stocks backed by Berkshire Hathaway that are worth buying and holding for the long term.IMAGE SOURCE: THE MOTLEY FOOL.1. AppleWith Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) share price having surged roughly 32.1% over the last year and the company currently sporting a market capitalization of more than $2.76 trillion, it's not unreasonable to look at the stock with a bit of a cautious eye. On the other hand, there's basically never been a bad time forlong-terminvestors to buy the stock in the company's history.AAPL DATA BY YCHARTSApple stands as the largest stock holding in the Berkshire portfolio, by far. Based on the last 13F filing from Buffett's company, the iPhone-maker accounts for nearly 43% of the investment conglomerate's stock holdings. That signifies an incredible vote of confidence from the modern era's most successful investor.Between its market-leading mobile hardware and fast-growing software and services ecosystem, Apple's core businesses continue to look very strong, and it's likely that the company will also score wins in some exciting new fields. The California-based tech giant is already a leader in the wearable technology space, and it has huge opportunities in augmented reality hardware, autonomous electric vehicles, and other emerging product categories. The recent run-up in valuation means investors may want todollar-cost averageinto Apple stock, but the company looks well-positioned to continue growing over the long term.2. VerizonWith a multi-billion-dollar investment in the fourth quarter of 2020, Berkshire Hathaway quickly made Verizon Communications (NYSE:VZ) one of its largest stock holdings. Internet communications are at the heart of modern business operations, and the telecom giant's top-rated service and infrastructure advantages should help it continue to be a category leader.Verizon has been spending big to secure spectrum band and build out infrastructure for5G, but it's still in the early stages of benefiting from the rollout of the next-generation network technology. In addition to offering consumers a major leap forward with upload and download speeds, Verizon's 5G service will likely also help boost sales and earnings in the enterprise market.With shares trading at roughly 10 times this year's expected earnings and sporting a 4.8% dividend yield, Verizon stock continues to look attractively valued. Investors even have a chance to buy the stock at prices lower than Berkshire got in at.VZ DATA BY YCHARTS.3. SnowflakeAs a cloud software-as-a-service stock that trades at lofty price-to-sales multiple,Snowflake (NYSE:SNOW) is one of the more unusual companies in the Berkshire Hathaway portfolio. While the investment conglomerate has gradually been shifting more of its portfolio weight toward the technology sector, it's still pretty eye-catching to see Buffett get behind a company that trades at roughly 83 times this year's expected sales.It's clear that the Oracle of Omaha and the investment team at Berkshire see something special in the data warehousing and analytics player. Snowflake's platform allows data to be gathered and analyzed from otherwise walled-off sources, enabling applications to have quick and easy access to a much wider spectrum of valuable information. The company offers category-leading service in its niche, and with more customers joining its platform and bringing along valuable data, it's benefiting from a network effect that could produce a powerful long-term moat.4. AmazonPerhaps more so than any other company,Amazon(NASDAQ:AMZN) is built to win the future. The company's core e-commerce and cloud infrastructure businesses look poised for strong growth over the long term as these industries continue to grow, and its core business pillars should provide the foundation for new growth bets that help the company continue to expand.With a market cap of more than $1.6 trillion, Amazon is already a massive company, but it still has plenty of room for growth over the long term. The company's strength in e-commerce and cloud services has helped it rapidly build its position in the digital advertising market, and Amazon's excellent collection of resources and proven penchant for innovation suggest that it will be able to continue scoring wins in new categories that drive growth and complement its existing businesses.5. Berkshire HathawayIf you want to invest like Buffett, why limit yourself to picking just a handful of stocks in the Berkshire portfolio? Particularly when you can buy shares in Berkshire Hathaway directly and get exposure to all of the stocks in the company's portfolio, its subsidiaries, and its real estate, insurance, and energy businesses. In addition to Apple, Verizon, Amazon, and Snowflake, Berkshire Hathaway also owns substantial stakes in companies including Bank of America,American Express,Coca-Cola, and other industry-leading names.Even after buying back more than $20 billion worth of its own stock last year, the investment conglomerate has a massive pool of resources and ended its third quarter with a record $149 billion in cash on the books. Owning Berkshire Hathaway stock means that when Buffett and his team of analysts go shopping with that money, your own portfolio gets exposure to those buys before they're made known to the public.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":340,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":885413871,"gmtCreate":1631810632993,"gmtModify":1676530643147,"author":{"id":"3580382876614706","authorId":"3580382876614706","name":"Bustylibra","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee53d184a3c50326ddcb4185c2a74ccb","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580382876614706","authorIdStr":"3580382876614706"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"This stock is sure funny.

The city-state’s second-richest person, paint tycoon Goh Cheng Liang, has a net worth of $17.7 billion.\nIt’s another example of how tech billionaires are climbing up the wealth rankings in countries across Asia. Earlier this year, Brian Kim, the founder of messaging giant Kakao Corp., became South Korea’s richest person.\nSea, Southeast Asia’s most valuable company, has been turning to fintech for further growth beyond gaming and e-commerce, while also expanding beyond the region. It won a digital-banking license in Singapore in December and acquired Indonesia’s PT Bank Kesejahteraan Ekonomi, better known as Bank BKE, people familiar with the matter said in January.\nBoth moves “should allow the group to grow its SeaMoney business beyond payments to include lending, insurance, wealth management and other financial services,” said Nathan Naidu, an analyst with Bloomberg Intelligence.\nSeaMoney, the company’s digital-payments and financial-services business, saw total payments using its mobile-wallet services rise to more than $4.1 billion in the second quarter, up almost 150% from a year earlier, Li said on Sea’s earnings call on Aug. 17. Sea’s revenue rose 159% to $2.3 billion in the period.\nSea’s broader success has been founded on its mobile game Free Fire, which has exceeded 1 billion downloads on Google Play. It’s also been driven by its e-commerce platform, Shopee, which has become the second-most downloaded shopping app on Android and iOS globally, Li said on the earnings call, citing App Annie data.\nSea’s three founders, Li, Gang Ye, and David Chen, started the company in 2009. Ye, chief operating officer, is worth $10.8 billion, while Chen, Shopee’s chief product officer, has a net worth of $3.6 billion.\nSea declined to comment on the executives’ wealth valuations. In late March, the company gave a gift of S$50 million ($37.1 million) to the National University of Singapore to advance research in artificial intelligence and machine learning.\nBloomberg Intelligence analyst Naidu said he remains positive about Sea’s prospects, even after the stock surged more than 20-fold since listing in 2017. He said he expects demand for the company’s services to hold strong after being boosted by the pandemic, and pointed to Shopee’s expansion into Latin American markets including Brazil.\n“After Covid, people have warmed up to digital services and online platforms,” he said. “I don’t think they will completely give up the convenience being

While the bears will laser focus on the chip shortage spoiling the EV party for Tesla in 2021, we believe the reality is that demand is spiking globally for Tesla's/EVs, the company's flagship production build outs in Berlin and Austin appear right on schedule, and the company has a treasure chest and cash flow to fund future R&D/capex endeavors in this EV arms race for the next decade.\"\nTesla's earnings report came in largely as anticipated, but the conference calldelved into AI and Bitcoin more than may have been expected.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":171,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":377581114,"gmtCreate":1619535700838,"gmtModify":1704725628235,"author":{"id":"3580382876614706","authorId":"3580382876614706","name":"Bustylibra","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee53d184a3c50326ddcb4185c2a74ccb","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580382876614706","authorIdStr":"3580382876614706"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice&nbsp;","listText":"Nice&nbsp;","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/377581114","repostId":"2130522345","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2130522345","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1619484161,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2130522345?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-27 08:42","market":"us","language":"en","title":"AMD earnings: Are data center owners ‘digesting’ or just not buying Intel chips?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2130522345","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"AMD segment that includes data-center sales expected to almost triple in revenue after biggest rival's server sales declined.

Many companies faced adversity throughout the pandemic, and some are still recovering, but not BABA. Through the worst economic environment for businesses to navigate in recent times, BABA generated over $100 billion in revenue and $20 billion in net income during their recent fiscal year. While BABA didn't get the memo about businesses facing challenges amidst the pandemic, the market must not have read BABA's earnings report or crunched the numbers.</p>\n<p>There are two Chinese companies I am bullish on, and BABA is my biggest conviction for appreciation. BABA smashed through the $300 share price level at the end of October 2020, but shareholders have been left confused and disappointed since then. It looked like BABA would turn the corner after a horrible end to 2020 as shares appreciated from $222.36 from the close of 2020 to $270.83 in the middle of February 2021. Still, the markets had other plans, and all shares of BABA have done is disappoint shareholders. If you missed the BABA train, it's time to grab your tickets and climb aboard, and if you purchased BABA during its run to $300 or early 2021 rebound, it might be time to add to your holdings. BABA is going to experience tremendous tailwinds from China's population and economic growth over the next several years, and their printing press is going to need more ink.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/86da7b532f25f563d08490ddc43cbede\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"337\"><span>(Source: Alibaba)</span></p>\n<p><b>The Alibaba printing press is open for business, and it spits out billions</b></p>\n<p>How many companies can say their annual revenue through the pandemic exceeded $100 billion? The $100 billion revenue mark is a prestigious club that companies such as&nbsp;Facebook (FB),PepsiCo (PEP),Procter &amp; Gamble (PG),Target (TGT), and&nbsp;Johnson &amp; Johnson (JNJ)&nbsp;are not part of. BABA, on the other hand, witnessed its revenue increase by 52.11% and smash through $100 billion as they generated $109.47 billion in their recent fiscal year. For the year ending March 2019, BABA's revenue increased by $16.25 billion (40.74%) to $56.15 billion, then for the March 2020 fiscal year, revenue increased another $15.82 billion (28.17%) to $71.97 billion. BABA is in the same boat as Alphabet(NASDAQ:GOOG)(GOOGL), FB, and Amazon (AMZN) as they watched the pandemic push more people to go digital which accelerated their businesses. For BABA, the forced transition to digital helped them achieve $37.5 billion (52.11%) in additional revenue as they finished their March 2021 fiscal year with $109.47 billion in revenue.</p>\n<p>Since 2013 BABA has not had a year where their annual revenue increase didn't exceed 25% Year over Year (YoY). When you think about that as a growth rate, it's remarkable for a company of BABA's size as this isn't a company chasing its first billion-dollar revenue year. Over the past 5 fiscal years, BABA's annual revenue has increased by $93.8 billion (408.08%) at an average annual rate of 48.25%. Smaller companies considered growth companies would be jealous of these rates, while many large caps are probably envious.</p>\n<p>BABA isn't a one-trick pony that can only generate tens of billions in revenue. BABA can convert right down to the bottom line. Each year BABA has increased its YoY gross profit by a minimum of 10% since 2013. In 2016 BABA generated $10.35 billion in gross profit and, over the next 5 fiscal years, increased its annual gross profit by $34.84 billion (336.68%). BABA has also never fallen below a 40% gross profit margin, Warren Buffett's magic number, as he indicates in<i>Warren Buffett and the Interpretation of Financial Statements. On page 34 of the Kindle edition,it says:</i></p>\n<blockquote>\n As a very general rule (and there are exceptions): Companies with gross profit margins of 40% or better tend to be companies with some sort of durable competitive advantage. Companies with gross profit margins below 40% tend to be companies in highly competitive industries, where competition is hurting overall profit margins (there are exceptions here, too).\n</blockquote>\n<p>The gross profit margin is important for investors to evaluate because it reveals how much of a company's revenue goes directly to producing it and if they have a moat around their business. BABA's numbers indicate they have a sufficient moat around their business that is hard to penetrate. With close to a decade of generating over 40% in gross profit margins, investors can expect that BABA's moat will protect its business operations for years to come.</p>\n<p>Moving to the bottom line BABA does a great job at generating profits. In their most recent fiscal year, BABA generated $22.98 billion in net income, converting more than 1/5th (20.99%) of their revenue to pure profits. Since 2013 BABA has only had 1 year where net income decreases YoY. With that track record, many options open up for BABA in the future as their cash stockpile continues to increase.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/41a5e036f023fa4ced7666e06aa1de6b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"444\"><span>(Source: Alibaba)</span></p>\n<p><b>Alibaba will continue to experience tailwinds as China's population and economy expands</b></p>\n<p>Alibaba&nbsp;achieved one billion annual active consumers globally in the fiscal year that ended in March 2021. BABA has 891 million consumers across China's retail marketplace, local consumer services and digital media and entertainment platforms, and approximately 240 million consumers outside China. BABA's annual active consumers in the China retail marketplaces were 811 million as it grew by 85 million YoY. BABA will focus on developing a digital commerce infrastructure that offers an upgraded consumer experience by seamlessly integrating online and offline. Through BABA's infrastructure, countless retailers have digitally transformed their businesses and created multiple retail formats that have enabled new consumption experiences by leveraging consumer insights and technology. BABA's ecosystem, supply chain, and diversified fulfillment services have facilitated an immense digital transformation. By investing in its infrastructure, BABA's customers can now leverage a full range of high-frequency fulfillment services that include on-demand delivery, same-or-next day delivery, and next-day pick-up services for a full range of consumable and physical products.</p>\n<p>BABA will continue to be one of the cornerstones that supports growth within China's economy, which is benefiting from the acceleration of digitalization in all aspects of life and work. China is projected to be the world's largest economy by 2028. The per-capita income in China is expected to grow by roughly 50% from 2020 to 2025.China's average economic growth&nbsp;has been projected to increase at a rate of 5.7% from 2021 to 2025, then slow to 4.5% from 2026 to 2030. As a result,China&nbsp;is on track to join the top 1/3rd of nations and overtake 56 countries in the per capita income rankings by 2025. By the end of 2022, McKinsey&nbsp;predicts&nbsp;that the middle class could expand to 550 million people which is larger than the entire U.S population.</p>\n<p>If the projections for China are correct, this should mean a windfall of cash lining BABA's coffers. It's a simple recipe; when people make more money, they tend to spend more money to enhance their lives and increase their standard of living. As BABA is a dominant force in China's retail sector, they stand to benefit from a growing economy and a larger middle class. At the end of next year, if China has anywhere close to 550 million individuals in the middle class, I believe BABA's revenue and profits will increase significantly. This trend can provide tailwinds throughout the decade for BABA, and eventually, the market will reward shareholders based on BABA's value proposition.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bbde4a092d19118a2d16daabf5c027d7\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"463\"><span>(Source: Blomberg)</span></p>\n<p><b>Alibaba has tremendous growth prospects in Cloud as China continues its digitization</b></p>\n<p>Cloud computing has been red hot in the U.S. as the transition from on-prem to cloud has increased the technological capabilities for many organizations. As digitization progresses across the business landscape, cloud providers continue to increase revenue generated from their cloud segments within their overall revenue mix. For example, AWS, the cloud computing division from&nbsp;AMZN, generated $45.37 billion in 2020. Cloud continues to be an exciting sector because the digital transformation is far from being over. Hence, the prospects of new customers are enormous while reoccurring revenue is generated after the transition occurs.</p>\n<p>In China, cloud infrastructure services are still in the early innings as the entire spend was around $15 billion in 2020. In Q1 of 2021, cloud infrastructure services in&nbsp;China&nbsp;grew by 55% YoY as it reached $6 billion. China was the 2nd largest market behind the U.S, accounting for 14% of global investment, up from 12% in Q1 of 2020. With cloud spending and digitization in China increasing, this serves as a major runway for growth in Alibaba Cloud.</p>\n<p>As China's economy expands, businesses will need to become more efficient to support both operations and customer demands. Chinese companies will need to implement infrastructure that can support a digital age of the workforce while supporting cloud services used by consumers for consumption. If China passes the U.S. as the world's largest economy in the second half of this decade, the amount of growth needed in cloud services will be immense. BABA is already the leader in cloud infrastructure services in China as their 39.8% market share accounted for $2.39 billion of the $6 billion spent in Q1 2021. Over the previous 6 quarters, cloud infrastructure spending has increased by roughly $2.3 billion (76.67%) in China. Based on cloud's current trajectory, quarterly revenue is on track to double over the next 2 years, putting Q1 2023 revenue at $10.6 billion. If BABA has a 35% market share, their Q1 2023 would be $3.71 billion, placing their 2023 revenue for cloud at $14.84 billion without factoring in any growth in 2023. From a cloud aspect, China's future spending is very exciting, and BABA will be one of the major benefactors.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1759b81ce463d503a165d901e2e50d7c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"728\"><span>(Source: Canalys)</span></p>\n<p><b>Alibaba has stellar financial metrics and is undervalued compared to the U.S. tech conglomerates</b></p>\n<p>For this comparison, I am going to use AMZN and GOOGL as they have been establishing their dominance in the U.S. for more than a decade. First, here are the raw numbers for AMZN, BABA, and GOOGL:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>AMZN</li>\n <li>BABA</li>\n <li>GOOGL</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The market currently places a multiple of 17.03x on AMZN's equity compared to its market cap, while its revenue multiple is 4.2x. GOOGL has a multiple of 7.17x on its equity and 8.39x on its revenue compared to market cap. AMZN and GOOGL's market caps exceed $1.5 trillion, while BABA's sits at $575.57 billion. The market is placing a 3.5x multiple on BABA's equity and 5.26x on its revenue compared to the market cap. Thus, the market is severely discounting BABA's equity and revenue generation. BABA's equity is worth 28.58% of its market cap, while AMZN's equity is equivalent to 5.87%, and GOOGL's is 13.94% of its market cap. The current discount placed on BABA's equity could create an additional tailwind for shareholders in the future.</p>\n<p><b>Conclusion</b></p>\n<p>It's hard to dismiss the growth opportunities some companies in China are presenting, especially after the recent decline in share prices. However, I believe shares of BABA are currently undervalued based on their current financial metrics and growth rates. China's economy and the amount of capital allocated to cloud service infrastructure are expected to grow substantially over the years. These will create powerful tailwinds for BABA throughout this decade. As a result, I think shareholders have been allowed to establish a BABA or dollar cost average position at a discounted price. I plan on continuing to add shares to my position while the market is discounting BABA.</p>","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>Alibaba: Can BABA Get Back To $300?

Many companies faced adversity throughout the pandemic, and some are still recovering, but not BABA. Through the worst economic environment for businesses to navigate in recent times, BABA generated over $100 billion in revenue and $20 billion in net income during their recent fiscal year. While BABA didn't get the memo about businesses facing challenges amidst the pandemic, the market must not have read BABA's earnings report or crunched the numbers.\nThere are two Chinese companies I am bullish on, and BABA is my biggest conviction for appreciation. BABA smashed through the $300 share price level at the end of October 2020, but shareholders have been left confused and disappointed since then. It looked like BABA would turn the corner after a horrible end to 2020 as shares appreciated from $222.36 from the close of 2020 to $270.83 in the middle of February 2021. Still, the markets had other plans, and all shares of BABA have done is disappoint shareholders. If you missed the BABA train, it's time to grab your tickets and climb aboard, and if you purchased BABA during its run to $300 or early 2021 rebound, it might be time to add to your holdings. BABA is going to experience tremendous tailwinds from China's population and economic growth over the next several years, and their printing press is going to need more ink.\n(Source: Alibaba)\nThe Alibaba printing press is open for business, and it spits out billions\nHow many companies can say their annual revenue through the pandemic exceeded $100 billion? The $100 billion revenue mark is a prestigious club that companies such as Facebook (FB),PepsiCo (PEP),Procter & Gamble (PG),Target (TGT), and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) are not part of. BABA, on the other hand, witnessed its revenue increase by 52.11% and smash through $100 billion as they generated $109.47 billion in their recent fiscal year. For the year ending March 2019, BABA's revenue increased by $16.25 billion (40.74%) to $56.15 billion, then for the March 2020 fiscal year, revenue increased another $15.82 billion (28.17%) to $71.97 billion. BABA is in the same boat as Alphabet(NASDAQ:GOOG)(GOOGL), FB, and Amazon (AMZN) as they watched the pandemic push more people to go digital which accelerated their businesses. For BABA, the forced transition to digital helped them achieve $37.5 billion (52.11%) in additional revenue as they finished their March 2021 fiscal year with $109.47 billion in revenue.\nSince 2013 BABA has not had a year where their annual revenue increase didn't exceed 25% Year over Year (YoY). When you think about that as a growth rate, it's remarkable for a company of BABA's size as this isn't a company chasing its first billion-dollar revenue year. Over the past 5 fiscal years, BABA's annual revenue has increased by $93.8 billion (408.08%) at an average annual rate of 48.25%. Smaller companies considered growth companies would be jealous of these rates, while many large caps are probably envious.\nBABA isn't a one-trick pony that can only generate tens of billions in revenue. BABA can convert right down to the bottom line. Each year BABA has increased its YoY gross profit by a minimum of 10% since 2013. In 2016 BABA generated $10.35 billion in gross profit and, over the next 5 fiscal years, increased its annual gross profit by $34.84 billion (336.68%). BABA has also never fallen below a 40% gross profit margin, Warren Buffett's magic number, as he indicates inWarren Buffett and the Interpretation of Financial Statements. On page 34 of the Kindle edition,it says:\n\n As a very general rule (and there are exceptions): Companies with gross profit margins of 40% or better tend to be companies with some sort of durable competitive advantage. Companies with gross profit margins below 40% tend to be companies in highly competitive industries, where competition is hurting overall profit margins (there are exceptions here, too).\n\nThe gross profit margin is important for investors to evaluate because it reveals how much of a company's revenue goes directly to producing it and if they have a moat around their business. BABA's numbers indicate they have a sufficient moat around their business that is hard to penetrate. With close to a decade of generating over 40% in gross profit margins, investors can expect that BABA's moat will protect its business operations for years to come.\nMoving to the bottom line BABA does a great job at generating profits. In their most recent fiscal year, BABA generated $22.98 billion in net income, converting more than 1/5th (20.99%) of their revenue to pure profits. Since 2013 BABA has only had 1 year where net income decreases YoY. With that track record, many options open up for BABA in the future as their cash stockpile continues to increase.\n(Source: Alibaba)\nAlibaba will continue to experience tailwinds as China's population and economy expands\nAlibaba achieved one billion annual active consumers globally in the fiscal year that ended in March 2021. BABA has 891 million consumers across China's retail marketplace, local consumer services and digital media and entertainment platforms, and approximately 240 million consumers outside China. BABA's annual active consumers in the China retail marketplaces were 811 million as it grew by 85 million YoY. BABA will focus on developing a digital commerce infrastructure that offers an upgraded consumer experience by seamlessly integrating online and offline. Through BABA's infrastructure, countless retailers have digitally transformed their businesses and created multiple retail formats that have enabled new consumption experiences by leveraging consumer insights and technology. BABA's ecosystem, supply chain, and diversified fulfillment services have facilitated an immense digital transformation. By investing in its infrastructure, BABA's customers can now leverage a full range of high-frequency fulfillment services that include on-demand delivery, same-or-next day delivery, and next-day pick-up services for a full range of consumable and physical products.\nBABA will continue to be one of the cornerstones that supports growth within China's economy, which is benefiting from the acceleration of digitalization in all aspects of life and work. China is projected to be the world's largest economy by 2028. The per-capita income in China is expected to grow by roughly 50% from 2020 to 2025.China's average economic growth has been projected to increase at a rate of 5.7% from 2021 to 2025, then slow to 4.5% from 2026 to 2030. As a result,China is on track to join the top 1/3rd of nations and overtake 56 countries in the per capita income rankings by 2025. By the end of 2022, McKinsey predicts that the middle class could expand to 550 million people which is larger than the entire U.S population.\nIf the projections for China are correct, this should mean a windfall of cash lining BABA's coffers. It's a simple recipe; when people make more money, they tend to spend more money to enhance their lives and increase their standard of living. As BABA is a dominant force in China's retail sector, they stand to benefit from a growing economy and a larger middle class. At the end of next year, if China has anywhere close to 550 million individuals in the middle class, I believe BABA's revenue and profits will increase significantly. This trend can provide tailwinds throughout the decade for BABA, and eventually, the market will reward shareholders based on BABA's value proposition.\n(Source: Blomberg)\nAlibaba has tremendous growth prospects in Cloud as China continues its digitization\nCloud computing has been red hot in the U.S. as the transition from on-prem to cloud has increased the technological capabilities for many organizations.

Since its IPO last September, at $10 a share, the stock has more than doubled investors’ money. PLTR stock looks set to end the month at about $22 a share, it traded as high as $35 in January. Its current market cap is $41.7 billion.</p>\n<p>Believing in Palantir means believing in its data analysis products, called Gotham and Foundry. It also means believing in its controversial CEO,Alex Karp, who took home&nbsp;$1.1 billion&nbsp;in stock options and grants home last year.</p>\n<p>Co-founder Peter Thiel objects to being called“emperor for life,”based on Class F shares giving the co-founders a half-interest in any decision. But you’re buying them, too.</p>\n<p>Palantir had revenue of about $1.1 billion last year. Its March earnings indicate it’s on a path toward&nbsp;$1.6 billion this year.You need belief to pay almost 40 times revenue for anything.</p>\n<p><b>Taking Data Down Market</b></p>\n<p>Palantir started with high-end software for governments and big corporations. Government contracts are still an important metric of its success. The$169 millionfrom civilian and military agencies is important but no more so than for what it says about the software’s acceptance — and penetration — in enterprise markets.</p>\n<p>Foundry for Builders&nbsp;will try to capitalize on this acceptance in smaller, and self-service, markets. The subscription service was enough for our Luke Lango to put out&nbsp;a bullish call&nbsp;on Palantir recently.</p>\n<p>The stock has been&nbsp;buffeted&nbsp;this year by meme investors. Many abandoned it as the pandemic ebbed. But it now has some analysts sending it&nbsp;to the Moon, with an eventual $1 trillion valuation. They see government contracts giving it a moat within that market. They see Palantir’s own&nbsp;investments in SPACs, deploying its cash as a Private Investor in Public Equity (PIPE), as an additional bullish signal for the corporate market.</p>\n<p>Interestingly, of the exchange-traded funds that are holding PLTR stock in their portfolios, among the largest holders are social sentiment-themed funds. The shares are in the top 10 holdings of both&nbsp;<b>VanEck Vectors Social Sentiment ETF</b>(NYSEARCA:<b><u>BUZZ</u></b>),at 2.94% of assets, and&nbsp;<b>SoFi Social 50 ETF</b>(NYSEARCA:<b><u>SFYF</u></b>),at 3.46%.</p>\n<p><b>Have They Cracked the Code?</b></p>\n<p>Many big companies have come-and-gone with big data analysis tools.</p>\n<p><b>Cloudera</b>, which is built on Hadoop, was recently taken privateat $5.3 billionafter flailing in the public market.<b>International Business Machines</b>(NYSE:<b><u>IBM</u></b>) has downsized expectations for Watson, which put a friendly front-end on Hadoop.</p>\n<p>Palantir says Foundry works by&nbsp;integrating&nbsp;back-end data management and front-end analysis. Gotham turns this integration into a&nbsp;virtual operating system, pulling data from multiple sources, integrating them into a single model.</p>\n<p>Palantir next reports results Aug. 10.

Since its IPO last September, at $10 a share, the stock has more than doubled investors’ money. PLTR stock looks set to end the month at about $22 a share, it traded as high as $35 in January. Its current market cap is $41.7 billion.\nBelieving in Palantir means believing in its data analysis products, called Gotham and Foundry. It also means believing in its controversial CEO,Alex Karp, who took home $1.1 billion in stock options and grants home last year.\nCo-founder Peter Thiel objects to being called“emperor for life,”based on Class F shares giving the co-founders a half-interest in any decision. But you’re buying them, too.\nPalantir had revenue of about $1.1 billion last year. Its March earnings indicate it’s on a path toward $1.6 billion this year.You need belief to pay almost 40 times revenue for anything.\nTaking Data Down Market\nPalantir started with high-end software for governments and big corporations. Government contracts are still an important metric of its success. The$169 millionfrom civilian and military agencies is important but no more so than for what it says about the software’s acceptance — and penetration — in enterprise markets.\nFoundry for Builders will try to capitalize on this acceptance in smaller, and self-service, markets. The subscription service was enough for our Luke Lango to put out a bullish call on Palantir recently.\nThe stock has been buffeted this year by meme investors. Many abandoned it as the pandemic ebbed. But it now has some analysts sending it to the Moon, with an eventual $1 trillion valuation. They see government contracts giving it a moat within that market. They see Palantir’s own investments in SPACs, deploying its cash as a Private Investor in Public Equity (PIPE), as an additional bullish signal for the corporate market.\nInterestingly, of the exchange-traded funds that are holding PLTR stock in their portfolios, among the largest holders are social sentiment-themed funds. The shares are in the top 10 holdings of both VanEck Vectors Social Sentiment ETF(NYSEARCA:BUZZ),at 2.94% of assets, and SoFi Social 50 ETF(NYSEARCA:SFYF),at 3.46%.\nHave They Cracked the Code?\nMany big companies have come-and-gone with big data analysis tools.\nCloudera, which is built on Hadoop, was recently taken privateat $5.3 billionafter flailing in the public market.International Business Machines(NYSE:IBM) has downsized expectations for Watson, which put a friendly front-end on Hadoop.\nPalantir says Foundry works by integrating back-end data management and front-end analysis. Gotham turns this integration into a virtual operating system, pulling data from multiple sources, integrating them into a single model.\nPalantir next reports results Aug. 10. Analysts are expecting a small profit, 4 cents per share, on revenue of $357 million. That would be only slightly ahead of the March quarter’s $341 million. The expectations for slower growth are bringing out some bears. About 13% of the shares were recently being held short.\nTo our Alex Sirois, this makes July the perfect time to buy Palantir.If it can show even a small profit the stock could move ahead.\nPLTR Stock Valuation Flashes ‘Highly Speculative’\nLooking at PLTR stock’s valuation, I see a sign flashing “highly speculative.” It’s trading at 34.3 times salesand near 170x forward earnings.\nYet, what makes it areasonablespeculation is that Palantir is cracking a data analysis code that has frustrated even the Cloud Czars. If Palantir can maintain that expertise, and bring that leadership into the wider enterprise market, this could be a great company.\nOur Chris Markoch says both bulls and bears have it wrong on Palantir, and I agree.\nThe politics of Thiel and Karp, and their iron-fisted control of the company, have some investors underestimating the tool. Its positive free cash flow may have some bulls overestimating its value.\nAt its current price, however, Palantir is a dirt-cheap speculation. Don’t throw any cash at it that you can’t afford to lose. But if you’ve earned profits elsewhere, and are looking for the next big thing, this may be worth nibbling on.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":380,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":126956858,"gmtCreate":1624542933474,"gmtModify":1703839871149,"author":{"id":"3580382876614706","authorId":"3580382876614706","name":"Bustylibra","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee53d184a3c50326ddcb4185c2a74ccb","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580382876614706","authorIdStr":"3580382876614706"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BABA\">$Alibaba(BABA)$</a>Yes !

And the Oracle of Omaha also addressed the recent rise in retail trading andonline brokerage firmslike Robinhood,the rally in bitcoinand the boom in SPAC mergers.</p><p>In many ways, this year's meeting looked different from those in the past. The annual event took placein a hotel conference room in Los Angelesrather than in an arena in Omaha, Nebraska, due to the ongoing pandemic.</p><p>Buffett's long-time business partner Charlie Munger also returned onstage this year to co-lead the event, after sitting out last year because of the pandemic. And in a new move, Buffett and Munger were joined by Berkshire's Vice Chairmen Gregory Abel and Ajit Jain,in a signal of potential succession plans at the company.</p><p>Here were some of the highlights from the event.</p><p>—</p><p>Buffett said Berkshire Hathaway is seeing signs of rising price pressures during the COVID-19 recovery, corroborating many market participants' concerns about increasing inflationary pressures.</p><p>\"We're seeing substantial inflation. We're raising prices, people are raising prices to us. And it's being accepted,\" Buffett said. \"We really do a lot of housing. The costs are just up, up, up. Steel costs. You know, just every day they're going up.\"</p><p>\"It's an economy – really, it's red hot. And we weren't expecting it,\" he added.</p><p>—</p><p>Buffett said trading apps like Robinhoodhave contributed to the \"casino aspect\" of the stock market as of late, exploiting individuals' inclinations to gamble.</p><p>“It’s become a very significant part of the casino aspect, the casino group, that has joined into the stock market in the last year, year and a half,\" Buffett said of Robinhood. \"There’s nothing, you know, there’s nothing illegal about it, there’s nothing immoral. But I don’t think you’d build a society around people doing it.\"</p><p>\"I think the degree to which a very rich society can reward people who know how to take advantage, essentially, of the gambling instincts of the American public, the worldwide public – it’s not the most admirable part of the accomplishment,\" Buffett added. \"But I think what America has accomplished is pretty admirable overall. And I think actually American corporations have turned out to be a wonderful place for people to put their money and save. But they also make terrific gambling chips, and if you cater to those gambling chips when people have money in their pocket for the first time and you tell them take my 30 or 40 or 50 trades a day and you’re not charging commission ... I hope we don’t have more of it.”</p><p>—</p><p>Buffett explained that Berkshire's move to unload many of its bank shares last year was not due to a lack of confidence in the banking industry, but more a decision to re-balance the portfolio and avoid being too heavily tilted toward one area.</p><p>\"I like banks generally, I just didn't like the proportion compared to the possible risk,\" Buffett said. \"We were over 10% of Bank of America. It's a real pain in the neck, more to the banks than us.\"</p><p>Berkshire held 1,032,952,006 shares of Bank of America as of the end of 2020, after adding 85.1 million shares in the third quarter alone. This gave Berkshire Hathaway an ownership stake of 11.9%. Berkshire cut its holdings of Wells Fargo from 345.7 million shares at year-end 2019 to 52.4 million by year-end 2020, and completely exited its holdings in JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and M&amp;T Bank Corp (MTB).</p><p>\"The banking business is way better than it was in the United States 10 or 15 years ago,\" he added. \"The banking business around the world in various places might worry me, but our banks are in far, far better shape than 10 or 15 years ago.\"</p><p>—</p><p>A shareholder asked Jain, who leads Berkshire's insurance business, whether he would be hypothetically willing to write an insurance policy for SpaceX founder Elon Musk for his proposed colonization of Mars.</p><p>\"This is an easy one. No thank you, I’ll pass,\" Jain said.</p><p>“Well I would say it would depend on the premium,” Buffett interjected with a laugh. \"And I would say that I would probably have a somewhat different rate if Elon was on board or not on board. It makes a difference if someone is asking to insure something.”</p><p>—</p><p>Warren Buffett declined to directly offer an opinion in response to a question on bitcoin, an assethe previously likened to \"rat poison squared.\"</p><p>\"I knew there’d be a question on bitcoin or crypto and I thought to myself well, I watch these politicians dodge questions all the time … The truth is, I’m going to dodge that question,\" Buffett said. \"Because the truth is, we’ve probably got hundreds of thousands of people that are watching this that own bitcoin. And we’ve probably got two people that are short. So we’ve got a choice of making 400,000 people mad at us and unhappy, and making two people happy. And it’s just a dumb equation.\"</p><p>Munger, however, issued a more direct attack.</p><p>\"Those who know me well are just waving the red flag at the bull. Of course I hate the bitcoin success,\" he said. \"And I don’t welcome a currency that’s so useful kidnappers and extortionists and so forth. Nor do I like shoveling out a few extra billions and billions and billions of dollars to somebody who just invented a new financial product out of thin air. So I think I should say modestly that the whole damn development is disgusting and contrary to the interest of civilization.\"</p><p>—</p><p>Both Buffett and Munger issued strong words of support for share repurchases, especially after Berkshire reported repurchasing an additional $6.6 billion in stock in the first three months of 2021.</p><p>\"They're a way, essentially, of distributing the cash to the people that want the cash when other co-owners mostly want you to reinvest,\" Buffett said. \"It's a savings vehicle.\"</p><p>\"I find it almost impossible to believe some of the arguments that are made that it's terrible to repurchase shares from a partner if they want to get out of something, and you're able to do it at prices that are advantages to the people that are staying,\" Buffett said. \"And it helps slightly the person that wants out.\"</p><p>Munger offered a similar view.</p><p>\"You're repurchasing stock. Just a bullet higher, it's deeply immoral,\" Munger said. \"But if you're repurchasing stock because it's a fair thing to do in the interest of your existing shareholders, it's a highly moral act and the people who are criticizing it are bonkers.\"</p><p>—</p><p>Low interest rates have catalyzed a surge in valuations across equities, giving those who invest in the markets an opportunity to create wealth, Munger said during the Berkshire Hathaway question and answer segment.</p><p>\"I think one consequence of this present situation is, Bernie Sanders has basically won,\" Munger says. \"Because with everything boomed out so high and interest rates so low, what's going to happen is, the millennial generation is going to have a hell of a time getting rich compared to our generation ... He did it by accident, but he won.\"</p><p>\"And so the difference between the difference between the rich and the poor in the generation that's rising is going to be a lot less,\" he added. \"So Bernie has won.\"</p><p>—</p><p>Buffett received a question around special purpose acquisition companies, or blank-check companies, which have become a hugely popular means for firms to go public over the past year.</p><p>\"The SPACs generally have to spend their money in two years, as I understand it. If you have to buy a business in two years, you put a gun to my head and said you've got to buy a business in two years, I'd buy one but it wouldn't be much of one,\" Buffett.</p><p>\"If you're running money from somebody else and you get a fee and you get the upside and you don't have the downside, you're going to buy something,\" he added. \"And frankly we're not competitive with that.\"</p><p>\"It's an exaggerated version of what we've seen in kind of a gambling-type market,\" he added.</p><p>—</p><p>Buffett conceded that selling some of Apple's stock in 2020 was \"probably a mistake,\" with shares rising even further this year following the tech-led 2020 in the markets.</p><p>\"The brand and the product — it's an incredible product,\" Buffett said of Apple. \"It is indispensable to people.\"</p><p>\"I sold some stock last year, although our shareholders still saw their shares go up because we repurchased shares,\" he added. \"But that was probably a mistake.\"</p><p>Berkshire owned 907,559,761 shares of Appleas of the end of December for a total market value of $120.4 billion. By contrast, the firm spent just $31 billion accumulating this stake since late 2016.</p><p>—</p><p>A shareholder directed a question to Ajit Jain and Greg Abel asking about the relationship the two likely next leaders of Berkshire Hathaway have with one another, given how iconic the relationship between Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger has been over the course of the company's history.</p><p>\"There's no question the relationship Warren has with Charlie is unique,\" Jain said. \"It's not going to be duplicated, certainly not by me and Greg. I can't think of anybody that can duplicate it.\"</p><p>\"I certainly have a lot of respect, both at a professional level and personal level, in terms of what Greg's abilities are,\" Jain added. \"We do not interact with each other as often as Warren and Charlie do. But every quarter we will talk to each other about our respective decision.\"</p><p>\"Even though the interaction may be different than say how Warren and Charlie do it ... we make sure we're always following up with each other but it goes beyond that,\" Abel said. \"Ajit has a great understanding of the Berkshire culture. I strongly believe I do too.\"</p><p>—</p><p>One shareholder asked Buffett about Berkshire's decision to invest in the oil and gas industry, and queried whether we might have \"build our own unrealistic consensus on the pace of change\" to clean energy solutions. Buffett defended the company's investment in the industry and in Chevron specifically, whichwas a relatively recent investment for the firm.</p><p>\"I would say that people are on the extremes of both sides are a little nuts. I would hate to have all the hydrocarbons banned in three years,\" Buffett said. \"You wouldn't want a world — it wouldn't work. And on the other hand, what's happening will be adapted to over time just as we've adapted to all kinds of things.\"</p><p>\"We have no problem owning Costco or Walmart and a substantial number of their stores. And they sell cigarettes, it's a big item,\" he added as an analogy. \"It's a very tough situation ... It's a very tough time to decide what companies benefit societies more than others.\"</p><p>\"I don't like making the moral judgments on stocks in terms of actually running the businesses, but there's something about every business that you knew that you wouldn't like,\" he added. \"If you expect perfection in your spouse or in your friends or in companies you're not going to find it.\"</p><p>\"Chevron is not an evil company in the least, and I have no compunction about owning it in the least, about owning Chevron,\" Buffett concluded. \"And if we owned the entire business I would not feel uncomfortable about being in that business.\"</p><p>Answering a subsequent question about the Berkshire board of directors' recommendation to voteagainst reporting climate-related risks, Munger added, \"I don't know we know the answer to all these questions about global warming.\"</p><p>\"The people who ask the questions think they know the answer. We're just more modest.\"</p><p>—</p><p>Most investors would benefit from simply purchasing an S&amp;P 500 index fund over the long run rather than picking individual stocks, even including Berkshire Hathaway, Buffett said during the question-and-answer session Saturday.</p><p>\"I recommend the S&amp;P 500 index fund … I’ve never recommended Berkshire to anybody because I don’t want people to buy it because they think I’m tipping them into something,\" he said. \"On my death there's a fund for my then-widow and 90% will go into an S&amp;P 500 index fund.\"</p><p>\"I do not think the average person can pick stocks,\" he added. \"We happen to have a large group of people that didn't pick stocks but they picked Charlie and me to manage money for them 50, 60 years ago. So we have a very unusual group of shareholders I think who look at Berkshire as a lifetime savings vehicle and one that they don’t have to think about and one that they'll, you know, they don't look at it again for 10 to 20 years.\"</p><p>Charlie Munger, on the other hand, had a different perspective.</p><p>\"I personally prefer holding Berkshire to holding the market,\" he said in response to the same question. \"I’m quite comfortable holding Berkshire. I think our businesses are better than the average in the market.\"</p><p>—</p><p>Buffett reiterated a staunchly supportive stance of U.S. corporations and capitalism in his opening remarks, highlighting that five of the six largest companies in the world by market capitalization currently comprise domestic companies. Those five companies are Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet and Facebook, with only Saudi Aramco of Saudi Arabia coming in as a non-U.S. mega-cap company in the top six.</p><p>But only a couple hundred years ago, the U.S. looked like the underdog.</p><p>\"In 1790 we had one-half of 1% of the world's population,\" Buffett said. \"600,000 of them were slaves. Ireland had more people than the United States had. Russia had five times as many people. Ukraine had twice as many people.\"</p><p>\"But here we were. What did we have? We had a map for the future, an aspirational map that somehow now only 232 years later, leaves us with five of the top six companies in the world,\" he said. \"It's not an accident. And it's not because we were way smarter, way stronger or anything of the sort. We had good soil, decent climate, but so did some of the other countries I named. This system has worked very well.\"</p><p>—</p><p>In opening remarks at the start of Berkshire Hathaway's annual shareholder meeting, Buffett credited the U.S. economic recovery from the COVID-19 crisis toswift action by the Federal Reserve and Congress.</p><p>\"The economy went off a cliff in March. It was resurrected in an extraordinarily effective way by Federal Reserve action and later on the fiscal front by Congress,\" Buffett said in opening remarks at Berkshire's annual shareholder meeting.\"</p><p>He added that Berkshire Hathaway's own business has picked up tremendously alongside the broader economy, and suggested businesses like airlines were still among those most deeply affected by lingering effects from the pandemic.</p><p>\"Our businesses have done really quite well. This has been a very, very, very unusual recession in that it's been localized ... to an extraordinary extent.

And the Oracle of Omaha also addressed the recent rise in retail trading andonline brokerage firmslike Robinhood,the rally in bitcoinand the boom in SPAC mergers.In many ways, this year's meeting looked different from those in the past. The annual event took placein a hotel conference room in Los Angelesrather than in an arena in Omaha, Nebraska, due to the ongoing pandemic.Buffett's long-time business partner Charlie Munger also returned onstage this year to co-lead the event, after sitting out last year because of the pandemic. And in a new move, Buffett and Munger were joined by Berkshire's Vice Chairmen Gregory Abel and Ajit Jain,in a signal of potential succession plans at the company.Here were some of the highlights from the event.—Buffett said Berkshire Hathaway is seeing signs of rising price pressures during the COVID-19 recovery, corroborating many market participants' concerns about increasing inflationary pressures.\"We're seeing substantial inflation. We're raising prices, people are raising prices to us. And it's being accepted,\" Buffett said. \"We really do a lot of housing. The costs are just up, up, up. Steel costs. You know, just every day they're going up.\"\"It's an economy – really, it's red hot. And we weren't expecting it,\" he added.—Buffett said trading apps like Robinhoodhave contributed to the \"casino aspect\" of the stock market as of late, exploiting individuals' inclinations to gamble.“It’s become a very significant part of the casino aspect, the casino group, that has joined into the stock market in the last year, year and a half,\" Buffett said of Robinhood. \"There’s nothing, you know, there’s nothing illegal about it, there’s nothing immoral. But I don’t think you’d build a society around people doing it.\"\"I think the degree to which a very rich society can reward people who know how to take advantage, essentially, of the gambling instincts of the American public, the worldwide public – it’s not the most admirable part of the accomplishment,\" Buffett added. \"But I think what America has accomplished is pretty admirable overall. And I think actually American corporations have turned out to be a wonderful place for people to put their money and save. But they also make terrific gambling chips, and if you cater to those gambling chips when people have money in their pocket for the first time and you tell them take my 30 or 40 or 50 trades a day and you’re not charging commission ... I hope we don’t have more of it.”—Buffett explained that Berkshire's move to unload many of its bank shares last year was not due to a lack of confidence in the banking industry, but more a decision to re-balance the portfolio and avoid being too heavily tilted toward one area.\"I like banks generally, I just didn't like the proportion compared to the possible risk,\" Buffett said. \"We were over 10% of Bank of America. It's a real pain in the neck, more to the banks than us.\"Berkshire held 1,032,952,006 shares of Bank of America as of the end of 2020, after adding 85.1 million shares in the third quarter alone. This gave Berkshire Hathaway an ownership stake of 11.9%. Berkshire cut its holdings of Wells Fargo from 345.7 million shares at year-end 2019 to 52.4 million by year-end 2020, and completely exited its holdings in JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and M&T Bank Corp (MTB).\"The banking business is way better than it was in the United States 10 or 15 years ago,\" he added. \"The banking business around the world in various places might worry me, but our banks are in far, far better shape than 10 or 15 years ago.\"—A shareholder asked Jain, who leads Berkshire's insurance business, whether he would be hypothetically willing to write an insurance policy for SpaceX founder Elon Musk for his proposed colonization of Mars.\"This is an easy one. No thank you, I’ll pass,\" Jain said.“Well I would say it would depend on the premium,” Buffett interjected with a laugh. \"And I would say that I would probably have a somewhat different rate if Elon was on board or not on board. It makes a difference if someone is asking to insure something.”—Warren Buffett declined to directly offer an opinion in response to a question on bitcoin, an assethe previously likened to \"rat poison squared.\"\"I knew there’d be a question on bitcoin or crypto and I thought to myself well, I watch these politicians dodge questions all the time … The truth is, I’m going to dodge that question,\" Buffett said. \"Because the truth is, we’ve probably got hundreds of thousands of people that are watching this that own bitcoin. And we’ve probably got two people that are short. So we’ve got a choice of making 400,000 people mad at us and unhappy, and making two people happy. And it’s just a dumb equation.\"Munger, however, issued a more direct attack.\"Those who know me well are just waving the red flag at the bull. Of course I hate the bitcoin success,\" he said. \"And I don’t welcome a currency that’s so useful kidnappers and extortionists and so forth. Nor do I like shoveling out a few extra billions and billions and billions of dollars to somebody who just invented a new financial product out of thin air. So I think I should say modestly that the whole damn development is disgusting and contrary to the interest of civilization.\"—Both Buffett and Munger issued strong words of support for share repurchases, especially after Berkshire reported repurchasing an additional $6.6 billion in stock in the first three months of 2021.\"They're a way, essentially, of distributing the cash to the people that want the cash when other co-owners mostly want you to reinvest,\" Buffett said. \"It's a savings vehicle.\"\"I find it almost impossible to believe some of the arguments that are made that it's terrible to repurchase shares from a partner if they want to get out of something, and you're able to do it at prices that are advantages to the people that are staying,\" Buffett said. \"And it helps slightly the person that wants out.\"Munger offered a similar view.\"You're repurchasing stock. Just a bullet higher, it's deeply immoral,\" Munger said. \"But if you're repurchasing stock because it's a fair thing to do in the interest of your existing shareholders, it's a highly moral act and the people who are criticizing it are bonkers.\"—Low interest rates have catalyzed a surge in valuations across equities, giving those who invest in the markets an opportunity to create wealth, Munger said during the Berkshire Hathaway question and answer segment.\"I think one consequence of this present situation is, Bernie Sanders has basically won,\" Munger says. \"Because with everything boomed out so high and interest rates so low, what's going to happen is, the millennial generation is going to have a hell of a time getting rich compared to our generation ... He did it by accident, but he won.\"\"And so the difference between the difference between the rich and the poor in the generation that's rising is going to be a lot less,\" he added. \"So Bernie has won.\"—Buffett received a question around special purpose acquisition companies, or blank-check companies, which have become a hugely popular means for firms to go public over the past year.\"The SPACs generally have to spend their money in two years, as I understand it. If you have to buy a business in two years, you put a gun to my head and said you've got to buy a business in two years, I'd buy one but it wouldn't be much of one,\" Buffett.\"If you're running money from somebody else and you get a fee and you get the upside and you don't have the downside, you're going to buy something,\" he added. \"And frankly we're not competitive with that.\"\"It's an exaggerated version of what we've seen in kind of a gambling-type market,\" he added.—Buffett conceded that selling some of Apple's stock in 2020 was \"probably a mistake,\" with shares rising even further this year following the tech-led 2020 in the markets.\"The brand and the product — it's an incredible product,\" Buffett said of Apple. \"It is indispensable to people.\"\"I sold some stock last year, although our shareholders still saw their shares go up because we repurchased shares,\" he added. \"But that was probably a mistake.\"Berkshire owned 907,559,761 shares of Appleas of the end of December for a total market value of $120.4 billion. By contrast, the firm spent just $31 billion accumulating this stake since late 2016.—A shareholder directed a question to Ajit Jain and Greg Abel asking about the relationship the two likely next leaders of Berkshire Hathaway have with one another, given how iconic the relationship between Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger has been over the course of the company's history.\"There's no question the relationship Warren has with Charlie is unique,\" Jain said. \"It's not going to be duplicated, certainly not by me and Greg. I can't think of anybody that can duplicate it.\"\"I certainly have a lot of respect, both at a professional level and personal level, in terms of what Greg's abilities are,\" Jain added. \"We do not interact with each other as often as Warren and Charlie do. But every quarter we will talk to each other about our respective decision.\"\"Even though the interaction may be different than say how Warren and Charlie do it ... we make sure we're always following up with each other but it goes beyond that,\" Abel said. \"Ajit has a great understanding of the Berkshire culture. I strongly believe I do too.\"—One shareholder asked Buffett about Berkshire's decision to invest in the oil and gas industry, and queried whether we might have \"build our own unrealistic consensus on the pace of change\" to clean energy solutions. Buffett defended the company's investment in the industry and in Chevron specifically, whichwas a relatively recent investment for the firm.\"I would say that people are on the extremes of both sides are a little nuts. I would hate to have all the hydrocarbons banned in three years,\" Buffett said. \"You wouldn't want a world — it wouldn't work. And on the other hand, what's happening will be adapted to over time just as we've adapted to all kinds of things.\"\"We have no problem owning Costco or Walmart and a substantial number of their stores. And they sell cigarettes, it's a big item,\" he added as an analogy. \"It's a very tough situation ... It's a very tough time to decide what companies benefit societies more than others.\"\"I don't like making the moral judgments on stocks in terms of actually running the businesses, but there's something about every business that you knew that you wouldn't like,\" he added. \"If you expect perfection in your spouse or in your friends or in companies you're not going to find it.\"\"Chevron is not an evil company in the least, and I have no compunction about owning it in the least, about owning Chevron,\" Buffett concluded. \"And if we owned the entire business I would not feel uncomfortable about being in that business.\"Answering a subsequent question about the Berkshire board of directors' recommendation to voteagainst reporting climate-related risks, Munger added, \"I don't know we know the answer to all these questions about global warming.\"\"The people who ask the questions think they know the answer. We're just more modest.\"—Most investors would benefit from simply purchasing an S&P 500 index fund over the long run rather than picking individual stocks, even including Berkshire Hathaway, Buffett said during the question-and-answer session Saturday.\"I recommend the S&P 500 index fund … I’ve never recommended Berkshire to anybody because I don’t want people to buy it because they think I’m tipping them into something,\" he said. \"On my death there's a fund for my then-widow and 90% will go into an S&P 500 index fund.\"\"I do not think the average person can pick stocks,\" he added. \"We happen to have a large group of people that didn't pick stocks but they picked Charlie and me to manage money for them 50, 60 years ago. So we have a very unusual group of shareholders I think who look at Berkshire as a lifetime savings vehicle and one that they don’t have to think about and one that they'll, you know, they don't look at it again for 10 to 20 years.\"Charlie Munger, on the other hand, had a different perspective.\"I personally prefer holding Berkshire to holding the market,\" he said in response to the same question. \"I’m quite comfortable holding Berkshire. I think our businesses are better than the average in the market.\"—Buffett reiterated a staunchly supportive stance of U.S. corporations and capitalism in his opening remarks, highlighting that five of the six largest companies in the world by market capitalization currently comprise domestic companies. Those five companies are Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet and Facebook, with only Saudi Aramco of Saudi Arabia coming in as a non-U.S. mega-cap company in the top six.But only a couple hundred years ago, the U.S. looked like the underdog.\"In 1790 we had one-half of 1% of the world's population,\" Buffett said. \"600,000 of them were slaves. Ireland had more people than the United States had. Russia had five times as many people. Ukraine had twice as many people.\"\"But here we were. What did we have? We had a map for the future, an aspirational map that somehow now only 232 years later, leaves us with five of the top six companies in the world,\" he said. \"It's not an accident. And it's not because we were way smarter, way stronger or anything of the sort. We had good soil, decent climate, but so did some of the other countries I named. This system has worked very well.\"—In opening remarks at the start of Berkshire Hathaway's annual shareholder meeting, Buffett credited the U.S. economic recovery from the COVID-19 crisis toswift action by the Federal Reserve and Congress.\"The economy went off a cliff in March. It was resurrected in an extraordinarily effective way by Federal Reserve action and later on the fiscal front by Congress,\" Buffett said in opening remarks at Berkshire's annual shareholder meeting.\"He added that Berkshire Hathaway's own business has picked up tremendously alongside the broader economy, and suggested businesses like airlines were still among those most deeply affected by lingering effects from the pandemic.\"Our businesses have done really quite well. This has been a very, very, very unusual recession in that it's been localized ... to an extraordinary extent. Right now business is really very good in a great many segments of the economy,\" he added. \"But there's still problems if you're in a few types of businesses that have been decimated such as international air travel or something of the sort.\"—The CEO of See's Candies, one of the longstanding companies owned by Berkshire Hathaway, told Yahoo Finance that the companyhas seen a strong rebound at the start of 2021. However, last year, business virtually ground to a halt.\"This has been the longest decade of my life. We've been through a lot. Last year – it's a tale of a couple of different quarters.

Can you imagine when you get international? That’s the stock to own. You buy it now,” anticipating more overseas travel in the coming months, Cramer said on“Squawk on the Street.”\n“I do believe that that is the stock to buy if you believe Europe is going to come back,” the“Mad Money”host added.\nLast month, the European Unionmade it easier for Americans to travel to its 27 member countries by adding the U.S. to itssafe travel list. Previously, nonessential travel had been restricted due to the coronavirus pandemic.\nMajor airlines havebeen working to add back lucrative trans-Atlantic routes, hoping to capture the pent-up demand from U.S. residents hankering for a vacation abroad.\nIt is also good for American Express. While travel is important for American Express in general, cross-boarder payments have higher margins than domestic ones.\nIn its first-quarter earnings report, released in April, American Express CEO Stephen Squeri said the company was seeing positive signs around domestic travel, “increasing our confidence” that the recovery will continue.\nHowever, Squeri said at the time, “Card member spending, excluding travel and entertainment categories, was 11 percent higher on an FX-adjusted basis than it was in the first quarter of 2019, and continues to represent the majority of spend on our network.”\nAmerican Express is set to release second-quarter results July 23, which may offer more insight into recent travel spending trends.\nShares of American Express are up around 43% year to date and more than 80% in the past 12 months. The stock traded just under $173 apiece Wednesday, narrowly below its all-time high of $174.76 on July 7.\nEven so, Cramer said he likes the set-up for investors, as more travel restrictions ease and people feel more comfortable with the level of coronavirus risk.\n“I still think American Express, which has got a great chart, is a coiled spring,” Cramer said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":33,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":182488134,"gmtCreate":1623598443028,"gmtModify":1704206809472,"author":{"id":"3580382876614706","authorId":"3580382876614706","name":"Bustylibra","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee53d184a3c50326ddcb4185c2a74ccb","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580382876614706","authorIdStr":"3580382876614706"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a
