Many stocks have been devastated by recent selloffs and investors are still split on whether or not the market is in oversold territory yet. While some point to the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) planned interest rate hikes and call for a recession, others point to oversold stocks to justify another market rally.</p><p>Whatever it might be, it is clear that the stock market is currently highly volatile. There are unprecedented levels of uncertainty as the Fed has to battle both inflation and a contracting economy. Unlike in 2008 and 2020, the Fed cannot use quantitative easing to stimulate the economy. Doing so will only add more fuel to inflation. Therefore, the current situation is especially risky.</p><p>Of course, some sectors, such as tech, are certainly being hit harder. However, many stocks continue to be overvalued compared to the rest of the stock market and could still go lower. With that in mind, investing in safe and stable stocks is a good option.</p><p>Thus, the following seven safest stocks are unlikely to be as volatile:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><b>Ticker</b></td><td><b>Company</b></td><td><b>Price</b></td></tr><tr><td><b><u>COST</u></b></td><td>Costco Wholesale Corporation</td><td>$474.29</td></tr><tr><td><b><u>TSM</u></b></td><td>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited</td><td>$94.44</td></tr><tr><td><b><u>AVGO</u></b></td><td>Broadcom Inc.</td><td>$563.96</td></tr><tr><td><b><u>KO</u></b></td><td>The Coca-Cola Company</td><td>$63.12</td></tr><tr><td><b><u>FLO</u></b></td><td>Flowers Foods, Inc.</td><td>$26.11</td></tr><tr><td><b><u>PEP</u></b></td><td>PepsiCo, Inc.</td><td>$165.82</td></tr><tr><td><b><u>MCD</u></b></td><td>McDonald’s Corporation</td><td>$247.54</td></tr></tbody></table><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/COST\">Costco </a><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/119ecb33ef7a48b94a1ac48b430db284\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></h2><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/COST\">Costco </a> could be a bargain stock after its sharp selloff. The stock has likely bottomed out and could continue to go up due to its solid finances in the long run.</p><p>Costco has seen growth in both its revenue and net income this quarter. The company has also increased its net profit margin and earnings per share (EPS). Even though its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is still relatively high, the stock has performed exceptionally well in turbulent times. In addition, the company is in astable long-term uptrendin its financials.</p><p>Moreover, Costco’s membership model has helped it combat inflation better than its competitors. Therefore, the current rebound of COST stock could be an excellent opportunity to get in on the stock.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TSM\">Taiwan Semiconductor </a><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/38854e837d13a3a18444fbb92aba5028\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></h2><p><b>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited</b> (NYSE:<b><u>TSM</u></b>) had a  negative 33% selloff which has since cooled down significantly and the stock could be eyeing a rebound. Theglobal shortage of semiconductorshas led to the stock soaring by more than 200% after the pandemic. However, the recent selloff has likely dragged the stock below its intrinsic value.</p><p>Taiwan Semiconductor hasreported robust financials this quarter. Year-over-year (YOY), quarterly revenue and net income grew at 35.5% and 45.13%, respectively. This is due to a high demand for semiconductors. Moreover, the net profit margin of Taiwan Semiconductor is also extraordinary at 41.28%, which grew by 7.11% this quarter.</p><p>In addition, the semiconductor shortage is unlikely to be solved soon. Supply chain issues persist and the company will continue to profit from the high demand and increased prices for semiconductors. It is among the safest stocks due to its exceptional growth.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AVGO\">Broadcom </a><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dcf1a9fd20cb6f6de8681c3897b31ace\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></h2><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AVGO\">Broadcom </a> is a company that manufactures and supplies a wide range of hardware and software products, including semiconductors.</p><p>The company’s stock has seen stable growth in the market with very little volatility. In addition, its financials are robust, with its YOY quarterlyrevenueandnet incomegrowing at 15.79% and 83.9%, respectively.</p><p>Moreover, the company has announced thatit will be acquiring <b>VMware,Inc.</b>(NYSE:<b><u>VMW</u></b>) for $69.1 billion, signaling a secure financial position.</p><p>Nonetheless, investors should still be careful in the short-term as the VMware deal could add some volatility to the stock. However, AVGO is likely to remain among the safest stocks in the long-term.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/KO\">Coca-Cola</a><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8b999b6331c97bce23b08a9742ea1230\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></h2><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/KO\">Coca-Cola</a> is one of the safest stocks to buy. The stock has always remained stable with very little volatility. Even in the current volatile market, KO stock has remained an outlier.</p><p>Furthermore, this household brand is unlikely to die out. Even in the worst-case scenario, Coca-Cola is likely to remain profitable in the long-term. Moreover, the company is now financially stable after a long-term downtrend inrevenue, which will continue to aid its growth.</p><p>In the latest quarter,Coca-Cola beat its EPS and revenue estimatesby 10.44% and 6.82%. The company’s YOY quarterly revenue grew by 16.31% to $10.5 billion and itsnet incomeincreased by 23.88% to $2.78 billion. In addition, despite heavy losses due to the coronavirus pandemic and the subsequent supply chain issues, the company has recovered in almost all aspects. Therefore, I expect KO to be a safe stock to hold long-term.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FLO\">Flowers Foods</a><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/71ff5e66c699f96220aee47ed44a2455\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></h2><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FLO\">Flowers Foods</a> is a bakery food company. FLO is among the safest stocks and has continued on a long-term uptrend, despite multiple downturns.</p><p>Flowers Foods also has solid financials and hasn’t had any significant losses.

This massive brand isn't going to be out of demand anytime soon.McDonald: MCD has continued to be among the safest stocks to invest in. The company's exceptional performance during the Great Recession makes it a clear buy.Source: Andy Dean Photography / ShutterstockThe current short-term recovery has put the stock market at a crucial point. Many stocks have been devastated by recent selloffs and investors are still split on whether or not the market is in oversold territory yet. While some point to the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) planned interest rate hikes and call for a recession, others point to oversold stocks to justify another market rally.Whatever it might be, it is clear that the stock market is currently highly volatile. There are unprecedented levels of uncertainty as the Fed has to battle both inflation and a contracting economy. Unlike in 2008 and 2020, the Fed cannot use quantitative easing to stimulate the economy. Doing so will only add more fuel to inflation. Therefore, the current situation is especially risky.Of course, some sectors, such as tech, are certainly being hit harder. However, many stocks continue to be overvalued compared to the rest of the stock market and could still go lower. With that in mind, investing in safe and stable stocks is a good option.Thus, the following seven safest stocks are unlikely to be as volatile:TickerCompanyPriceCOSTCostco Wholesale Corporation$474.29TSMTaiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited$94.44AVGOBroadcom Inc.$563.96KOThe Coca-Cola Company$63.12FLOFlowers Foods, Inc.$26.11PEPPepsiCo, Inc.$165.82MCDMcDonald’s Corporation$247.54Costco Costco  could be a bargain stock after its sharp selloff. The stock has likely bottomed out and could continue to go up due to its solid finances in the long run.Costco has seen growth in both its revenue and net income this quarter. The company has also increased its net profit margin and earnings per share (EPS). Even though its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is still relatively high, the stock has performed exceptionally well in turbulent times. In addition, the company is in astable long-term uptrendin its financials.Moreover, Costco’s membership model has helped it combat inflation better than its competitors. Therefore, the current rebound of COST stock could be an excellent opportunity to get in on the stock.Taiwan Semiconductor Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE:TSM) had a  negative 33% selloff which has since cooled down significantly and the stock could be eyeing a rebound. Theglobal shortage of semiconductorshas led to the stock soaring by more than 200% after the pandemic. However, the recent selloff has likely dragged the stock below its intrinsic value.Taiwan Semiconductor hasreported robust financials this quarter. Year-over-year (YOY), quarterly revenue and net income grew at 35.5% and 45.13%, respectively. This is due to a high demand for semiconductors. Moreover, the net profit margin of Taiwan Semiconductor is also extraordinary at 41.28%, which grew by 7.11% this quarter.In addition, the semiconductor shortage is unlikely to be solved soon. Supply chain issues persist and the company will continue to profit from the high demand and increased prices for semiconductors. It is among the safest stocks due to its exceptional growth.Broadcom Broadcom  is a company that manufactures and supplies a wide range of hardware and software products, including semiconductors.The company’s stock has seen stable growth in the market with very little volatility. In addition, its financials are robust, with its YOY quarterlyrevenueandnet incomegrowing at 15.79% and 83.9%, respectively.Moreover, the company has announced thatit will be acquiring VMware,Inc.(NYSE:VMW) for $69.1 billion, signaling a secure financial position.Nonetheless, investors should still be careful in the short-term as the VMware deal could add some volatility to the stock. However, AVGO is likely to remain among the safest stocks in the long-term.Coca-ColaCoca-Cola is one of the safest stocks to buy. The stock has always remained stable with very little volatility. Even in the current volatile market, KO stock has remained an outlier.Furthermore, this household brand is unlikely to die out. Even in the worst-case scenario, Coca-Cola is likely to remain profitable in the long-term. Moreover, the company is now financially stable after a long-term downtrend inrevenue, which will continue to aid its growth.In the latest quarter,Coca-Cola beat its EPS and revenue estimatesby 10.44% and 6.82%. The company’s YOY quarterly revenue grew by 16.31% to $10.5 billion and itsnet incomeincreased by 23.88% to $2.78 billion. In addition, despite heavy losses due to the coronavirus pandemic and the subsequent supply chain issues, the company has recovered in almost all aspects. Therefore, I expect KO to be a safe stock to hold long-term.Flowers FoodsFlowers Foods is a bakery food company. FLO is among the safest stocks and has continued on a long-term uptrend, despite multiple downturns.Flowers Foods also has solid financials and hasn’t had any significant losses. In the current market downturn, FLO stock has maintained its uptrend and the company’s financials remained stable.Flowers Foods had a YOY quarterlyrevenuegrowth of 10.27% to $1.44 billion and itsnet incomegrew by 19.4% to $85.6 million in the latest quarter. Moreover, the company alsobeat its earnings estimatesby 15.79% and recentlyincreased its dividendby 22 cents per share. Thus, FLO is likely to remain a safe stock due to its stable finances.PepsiCoPepsiCo, Inc.(NASDAQ:PEP) is a similar company to Coca-Cola. However, PEP stock has historically been more stable than KO and PepsiCo’s profitability is significantly higher.This quarter, PepsiCo has delivered robust growth, with its YOY quarterlynet incomeandrevenueincreasing by 148.6% and 9.31%, respectively. Moreover, the stock hasn’t been very affected by the recent market volatility and has continued on a long-term uptrend.Even during a recession, PepsiCo products will remain in high demand. The brand is a significant one and the company is likely to remain profitable for the foreseeable future.McDonaldMcDonald is a no-brainer when discussing safe stocks. MCD stock is one of the most resistant when it comes to volatile markets and recessions. Even during the Great Recession, the stock grew by 7% and the company’s financialsflourished.Even more surprisingly, McDonald’s quickly recovered from the coronavirus recession, which hit restaurants particularly hard. Moreover, the company reversed itsrevenuedowntrend after the pandemic.Admittedly, the latest quarter was not the company’s strongest. However, McDonald’s stillmanaged to beat earnings expectations. With historical performance in mind, MCD stock is likely to continue on a long-term uptrend.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":278,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9084789361,"gmtCreate":1650927425660,"gmtModify":1676534814943,"author":{"id":"4099626387861790","authorId":"4099626387861790","name":"Snuu","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/41733f48fe859e910863f992c6e0de1d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Glance]&nbsp;","listText":"[Glance]&nbsp;","text":"[Glance]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9084789361","repostId":"1117156407","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1117156407","pubTimestamp":1650899580,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1117156407?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-04-25 23:13","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Netflix Stock: Should You Buy the Dip?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1117156407","media":"TheStreet","summary":"Even after a 35% drop in its stock price, it might not be a good time to buy NFLX.Earnings season ha","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Even after a 35% drop in its stock price, it might not be a good time to buy NFLX.</p><p>Earnings season has begun, and Netflix has gotten off to a bad start in 2022.

One day after releasing its first-quarter results, NFLX stock dropped 35%.Let's understand what happened and discuss whether now is the time to invest in the video streaming leader.Figure 1: Netflix Stock: Should You Buy the Dip?What Happened to Netflix?The company recorded a drop in subscriber numbers for the first time in more than 10 years. During the quarter, more than 200,000 customers canceled their subscriptions.Netflix had expected to add 2.5 million new subscribers this quarter, while the market had expected as many as 2.7 million.The loss led many analysts to revise their projections for NFLX downward. As investors bailed, the stock fell 25% on April 19 and 35% on the 20th.Currently, the stock is trading at prices last seen in 2018. Could this be a signal to buy? We don't think so.Is the Streaming Industry in Danger?The streaming market is growing fast and should continue to do so in the coming years. Its growth prospects are particularly good in developing countries, where internet access is spreading.However, because the market is so fragmented, competition can hurt companies. We see this with Netflix, which by raising prices is subject to losing subscribers to several other rivals, such as Disney+ and Amazon Prime Video.What to Expect in the Coming MonthsNetflix has already said that it is studying cheaper subscription models for its platform and is courting the possibility of adding a low-priced tier that would include ads. Although the company has previously been proudly ad-free, its rivals HBOMax and Hulu have already adopted this strategy successfully.Will Netflix's ad revenue help to compensate for a potential decrease in the average subscription price? Even if the company uses a lower membership tier to grow its user base again, it's possible that its revenue won't grow as it has in the past.In addition, Netflix has also announced that it plans to crack down on password sharing. In the U.S. and Canada, Netflix estimates that 30% of households are using a shared password to access its content.Even if the company can solve these problems and sees some growth in the short term, we can't see Netflix fixing its growth troubles in the long term.Our View: It's Not Time to BuyEven with a 35% drop in just one day, it's hard to make the case that NFLX is currently a cheap stock. Netflix, which is considered a growth company, has stopped growing like it used to. It has even lost subscribers.Until the company is able to find other ways to monetize its existing subscribers, investors should rethink whether the company is a good buy.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":314,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9086930026,"gmtCreate":1650410295085,"gmtModify":1676534715282,"author":{"id":"4099626387861790","authorId":"4099626387861790","name":"Snuu","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/41733f48fe859e910863f992c6e0de1d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Surprised]&nbsp;","listText":"[Surprised]&nbsp;","text":"[Surprised]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9086930026","repostId":"2228911690","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2228911690","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1650409611,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2228911690?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-04-20 07:06","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Netflix Shares Fell 25%, Losing Subscribers Amid Growing Competition, Account Sharing","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2228911690","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"Netflix Inc. lost subscribers globally in the first quarter and expects to lose even more this sprin","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Netflix Inc. lost subscribers globally in the first quarter and expects to lose even more this spring, as the streaming giant grapples with stiffer competition from rival services and rampant account sharing among its customers.</p><p>The company ended the first quarter with 200,000 fewer subscribers than it had in the fourth, missing on its own projection of adding 2.5 million customers in the period.

Alphabet And Meta Returns Since 2013Portfolio Visualizer PremiumIn fact, both have crushed even the red hot Nasdaq during one of the hottest tech bull runs in US history, delivering Buffett-like 25% returns that resulted in an 8X return.YchartsWhile the market is currently in a correction, and growth stocks have been especially hard hit, Meta has been crushed, falling into a 50% bear market.I've bought both growth legends in this correction, but one is a core growth name in my correction plan, and the other is a non-core holding.So let me explain why both Meta and Alphabet are great companies, worth owning, and even buying more of right now.However, a careful examination of both of their fundamentals makes it clear that Alphabet is the global king of digital marketing, and this is likely to remain the case for the foreseeable future.The Challenge Facing Digital Marketers Right NoweMarketerGOOG, FB, and Amazon (AMZN) have a triopoly on US digital marketing, commanding an estimated 65% of the market.Both GOOG and FB are losing market share to AMZN because Amazon's ads are 3X as effective at converting to actual sales.That's because Amazon has spent decades gathering customer sales data and knows what its customers want better than anyone on earth.Apple's (AAPL) recent privacy shift in iOS, makes it much easier to opt out of data tracking, and 62% of iPhone users have indeed opted out.This has proven a hammer blow to FB, which management says could cost it $10 billion in 2022 alone.GOOG is less at risk since it still has the search data it can use to optimize for targeted ads.AMZN is the least at risk since it relies far less on cookie tracking than its rivals.This kind of business model disruption is part of FB and GOOG's risk profile, which brings us to our first point of comparison.Long-Term Risk Management: Winner AlphabetHow do we quantify, monitor, and track such a complex risk profile?

to undertake even more impressive buybacks.$380 billion in consensus buybacks through 202721% of shares at current valuationsNow let's consider one important profitability metric in particular.Return on capital or ROC is Joel Greenblatt's gold standard proxy for quality and moatiness.ROC = pre-tax profit/operating capital (the money it takes to run the business).S&P 500's average in 2021 was 14.6%

companies in their entirety one fact is clear.GOOG is a higher quality companyGOOG is a faster-growing company (with potentially 2X better long-term return potential than FB)GOOG has far better long-term risk management (to deal with the disruption the digital advertising industry is currently facing)GOOG has superior return on capital and a more stable moatWhile FB offers superior valuation and potentially double the short-term return potential, it's a speculative blue-chip currently going through the largest business pivot in the company's history.In contrast, GOOG is a faster-growing Ultra SWAN that is expected to buy back almost $400 billion worth of stock in the next five years, double that of FB.Simply put, if you can only buy one of these growth legends today, I recommend Alphabet, and that's why I have it as a core growth position in my correction plan.Not just for the next few weeks, but all of 2022 and beyond.Because at the end of the day, when you focus on safety

As a result, I wrote on Feb. 3, a month ago, that INTC stock was undervalued by at least 19%. This was because it was trading at $49.51 on Feb. 3.</p><p>However, as of Mar. 3, a month later, INTC stock was actually lower at $47.93 per share. Obviously, this was likely due to the market downturn from the Russia invasion of Ukraine.</p><p>Nevertheless, now that the annual dividend is set at $1.46 per share, its dividend yield is now higher at 3.04%. This can be seen by dividing $47.93 by $1.464.</p><p>Intel Stock Should Have a Lower Yield and Higher Price</p><p>This is a significantly higher yield than Intel has had in the past. For example, <i>Morningstar</i> reports that the average dividend yield for the past5 years has been 2.48%.</p><p>This implies that INTC stock is worth at least $58.87 per share, or 22.8% over the price on March 3. This is the result of dividing $1.46 by 2.48%. The result is $58.87 per share.</p><p>Similarly, <i>Seeking Alpha</i> reports that Intel’s average dividend yield over the last4 years has been 2.43%. That is similar to <b>Morningstar’s</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>MORN</u></b>) 2.48% level over 5 years. It implies a similar price target of $60.08, or 25.3% higher. This is slightly higher than Morningstar’s implied price since the dividend yield is lower.</p><p>The average between these two price targets is $59.48, or 24% over today’s price.</p><p>Therefore, the question is: when will INTC stock start to move towards this higher price? After all, it is always possible that the stock could end up falling further. This would give it an even higher dividend yield, but also take it further away from the price target.</p><p>Catalysts For a Turnaround for INTC Stock</p><p>There is no way to predict this. Unless we can identify a clear catalyst in the short-term, most value investors have resigned themselves to do one thing. That is: take advantage of cheap stock prices by averaging down as the stock price falls. This implies that the investor should not put all their investing money in any stock at one position price.</p><p>Moreover, <i>Barron’s</i> magazine reported on Feb. 23 that a major bearish analyst has recently changed his mind on Intel. The Raymond James analyst, Chris Caso, changed his recommendation to Market Perform from Market Underperform.</p><p>That is practically the same as saying, “Buy,” in analyst speak. <i>Barron’s</i> wrote that he is not necessarily bullish on the stock. He just feels that the bearish thesis on the stock has largely played out.</p><p>For example, he pointed out that the company guided analysts to expect negative free cash flow for the next three years. That is not normally a very good sign for a stock.</p><p>But the market already has discounted this into the huge drop in the last year. INTC peaked at $68.49 on Apr. 12, but dropped by 30% since then to $47.93 as of Mar. 3.</p><p>Where This Leaves Investors In INTC Stock</p><p>Analysts have generally higher price targets for INTC stock. For example, <i>Yahoo! Finance</i> indicates that the average price target of 41 analysts is $54.08 per share, or about 13% over the price of $47.93.<i>Yahoo! Finance</i>uses Refinitiv’s analyst survey to set its price targets.</p><p>Moreover, <i>Seeking Alpha</i> reports that the average of 41 analysts is $54.26, very close to the Refiniv price target average. However, it also shows that the upper end of the range is up to $72.20 per share.</p><p>These recommendations are slightly lower than my price target of $59.48.

As a result, I wrote on Feb. 3, a month ago, that INTC stock was undervalued by at least 19%. This was because it was trading at $49.51 on Feb. 3.However, as of Mar. 3, a month later, INTC stock was actually lower at $47.93 per share. Obviously, this was likely due to the market downturn from the Russia invasion of Ukraine.Nevertheless, now that the annual dividend is set at $1.46 per share, its dividend yield is now higher at 3.04%. This can be seen by dividing $47.93 by $1.464.Intel Stock Should Have a Lower Yield and Higher PriceThis is a significantly higher yield than Intel has had in the past. For example, Morningstar reports that the average dividend yield for the past5 years has been 2.48%.This implies that INTC stock is worth at least $58.87 per share, or 22.8% over the price on March 3. This is the result of dividing $1.46 by 2.48%. The result is $58.87 per share.Similarly, Seeking Alpha reports that Intel’s average dividend yield over the last4 years has been 2.43%. That is similar to Morningstar’s(NASDAQ:MORN) 2.48% level over 5 years. It implies a similar price target of $60.08, or 25.3% higher. This is slightly higher than Morningstar’s implied price since the dividend yield is lower.The average between these two price targets is $59.48, or 24% over today’s price.Therefore, the question is: when will INTC stock start to move towards this higher price? After all, it is always possible that the stock could end up falling further. This would give it an even higher dividend yield, but also take it further away from the price target.Catalysts For a Turnaround for INTC StockThere is no way to predict this. Unless we can identify a clear catalyst in the short-term, most value investors have resigned themselves to do one thing. That is: take advantage of cheap stock prices by averaging down as the stock price falls. This implies that the investor should not put all their investing money in any stock at one position price.Moreover, Barron’s magazine reported on Feb. 23 that a major bearish analyst has recently changed his mind on Intel. The Raymond James analyst, Chris Caso, changed his recommendation to Market Perform from Market Underperform.That is practically the same as saying, “Buy,” in analyst speak. Barron’s wrote that he is not necessarily bullish on the stock. He just feels that the bearish thesis on the stock has largely played out.For example, he pointed out that the company guided analysts to expect negative free cash flow for the next three years. That is not normally a very good sign for a stock.But the market already has discounted this into the huge drop in the last year. INTC peaked at $68.49 on Apr. 12, but dropped by 30% since then to $47.93 as of Mar. 3.Where This Leaves Investors In INTC StockAnalysts have generally higher price targets for INTC stock. For example, Yahoo! Finance indicates that the average price target of 41 analysts is $54.08 per share, or about 13% over the price of $47.93.Yahoo! Financeuses Refinitiv’s analyst survey to set its price targets.Moreover, Seeking Alpha reports that the average of 41 analysts is $54.26, very close to the Refiniv price target average. However, it also shows that the upper end of the range is up to $72.20 per share.These recommendations are slightly lower than my price target of $59.48. I used its dividend yield as the main criteria.However, so far, I have not been able to identify any kind of catalyst that could push the stock higher towards this price target. Over time, say several years, the stock should be tethered to this price target. But without a clear catalyst pushing it there, it may take time.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":305,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9033653555,"gmtCreate":1646270128624,"gmtModify":1676534110759,"author":{"id":"4099626387861790","authorId":"4099626387861790","name":"Snuu","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/41733f48fe859e910863f992c6e0de1d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow&nbsp;","listText":"Wow&nbsp;","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9033653555","repostId":"2216105764","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2216105764","pubTimestamp":1646260349,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2216105764?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-03-03 06:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Snowflake Plunged 22% After Revenue-Growth Outlook Disappoints","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2216105764","media":"bloomberg","summary":"(Bloomberg) -- Snowflake Inc., a software company that helps businesses organize data in the cloud, ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>(Bloomberg) -- <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SNOW\">Snowflake</a> Inc., a software company that helps businesses organize data in the cloud, plunged more than 22% in extended trading after projecting that product sales growth would slow from its previous triple-digit-percentage pace in the fiscal year.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f16df3b268c5f6eb1e2355c85e18f30f\" tg-width=\"715\" tg-height=\"619\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Product sales will increase as much as 67% to $1.9 billion in the current year, the company said Wednesday in a statement.

Investors are increasingly worried about the economic impact of high inflation and potential interest rate hikes, both of which threaten to slow consumer spending. More recently, geopolitical tension between Russia and Ukraine added another item to Wall Street&#39;s list of concerns. Those countries play an important role in suppling commodities like oil, wheat, and corn, meaning any conflict in the region could reduce global supplies and drive inflated prices even higher.</p><p>As always, the current macroeconomic environment is temporary, and these headwinds will eventually pass. In the meantime, many high-quality tech stocks are trading well-below their highs. For instance, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CRM\">Salesforce</a> and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AXON\">Axon Enterprise </a> have fallen 33% and 28%, respectively. And now looks like a good time to scoop up a few shares.</p><p>Here&#39;s what you should know.</p><h2>1. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CRM\">Salesforce</a></h2><p>Salesforce dominates the customer relationship management (CRM) industry. Its platform comprises a suite of productivity software for sales, customer services, marketing, and commerce, as well as additional tools for analytics and workflow automation. Collectively, those products help businesses build and maintain a loyal customer base.</p><p>Of particular note, management&#39;s capacity for innovation has kept the company at the forefront of the industry. For instance, Salesforce Einstein is artificial intelligence software that supercharges its other CRM products. Using AI, sales agents can prioritize leads, service agents can respond to issues proactively, marketers can target ads, and commerce teams can personalize product suggestions. More broadly, developers can embed AI-powered recommendations in any application.</p><p>Fueled by its first-mover status and innovative culture, Salesforce has held the top spot in the CRM industry for eight consecutive years, and the company captured 23.9% of market share through the first half of 2021 -- more than the next four competitors combined.</p><p>Not surprisingly, Salesforce has delivered impressive financial results on a consistent basis. In the past year, revenue jumped 23% to $25 billion, and free cash flow soared 54% to $5.5 billion. Better yet, management says revenue will double to $50 billion by fiscal 2026 (which will end Jan. 31, 2026), implying nearly 18% annualized growth over the next 17 quarters.</p><p>Here&#39;s the bottom line: Businesses must build and maintain good customer relationships if they hope to succeed over the long term. And when it comes to CRM, Salesforce is the best in the business. That&#39;s why this stock looks like a smart long-term investment.</p><h2>2. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AXON\">Axon Enterprise </a></h2><p>Axon is in the public safety business. The company is best known as the market-leading manufacturer of conducted energy devices (CEDs), sold under the brand name TASER. But Axon has also expanded into the tech sector with its ecosystem of connected sensors, including body cameras, in-car cameras, and drone-mounted aerial cameras, all of which feed data to the Axon Cloud, which itself comprises several software products.</p><p>For instance, Axon Evidence is a digital evidence management system that helps law enforcement agencies organize files. Axon Records builds on that solution, using video data to streamline the report-writing process, which means officers spend less time on paperwork. Finally, Axon Respond is real-time situational awareness software that allows dispatchers and commanders to access video feeds and GPS information from officers in the field, helping them make data-driven decisions during critical situations.</p><p>While Axon faces competition, primarily from <b>Motorola</b>, its broad customer base gives it a significant edge. Axon has a customer relationship with 17,000 of the 18,000 law enforcement agencies in the U.S., which that has helped the company establish itself as the global leader in CEDs, body cameras, and digital-evidence management software.</p><p>Not surprisingly, that has translated into solid financial growth.

Investors are increasingly worried about the economic impact of high inflation and potential interest rate hikes, both of which threaten to slow consumer spending. More recently, geopolitical tension between Russia and Ukraine added another item to Wall Street's list of concerns. Those countries play an important role in suppling commodities like oil, wheat, and corn, meaning any conflict in the region could reduce global supplies and drive inflated prices even higher.As always, the current macroeconomic environment is temporary, and these headwinds will eventually pass. In the meantime, many high-quality tech stocks are trading well-below their highs. For instance, Salesforce and Axon Enterprise  have fallen 33% and 28%, respectively. And now looks like a good time to scoop up a few shares.Here's what you should know.1. SalesforceSalesforce dominates the customer relationship management (CRM) industry. Its platform comprises a suite of productivity software for sales, customer services, marketing, and commerce, as well as additional tools for analytics and workflow automation. Collectively, those products help businesses build and maintain a loyal customer base.Of particular note, management's capacity for innovation has kept the company at the forefront of the industry. For instance, Salesforce Einstein is artificial intelligence software that supercharges its other CRM products. Using AI, sales agents can prioritize leads, service agents can respond to issues proactively, marketers can target ads, and commerce teams can personalize product suggestions. More broadly, developers can embed AI-powered recommendations in any application.Fueled by its first-mover status and innovative culture, Salesforce has held the top spot in the CRM industry for eight consecutive years, and the company captured 23.9% of market share through the first half of 2021 -- more than the next four competitors combined.Not surprisingly, Salesforce has delivered impressive financial results on a consistent basis. In the past year, revenue jumped 23% to $25 billion, and free cash flow soared 54% to $5.5 billion. Better yet, management says revenue will double to $50 billion by fiscal 2026 (which will end Jan. 31, 2026), implying nearly 18% annualized growth over the next 17 quarters.Here's the bottom line: Businesses must build and maintain good customer relationships if they hope to succeed over the long term. And when it comes to CRM, Salesforce is the best in the business. That's why this stock looks like a smart long-term investment.2. Axon Enterprise Axon is in the public safety business. The company is best known as the market-leading manufacturer of conducted energy devices (CEDs), sold under the brand name TASER. But Axon has also expanded into the tech sector with its ecosystem of connected sensors, including body cameras, in-car cameras, and drone-mounted aerial cameras, all of which feed data to the Axon Cloud, which itself comprises several software products.For instance, Axon Evidence is a digital evidence management system that helps law enforcement agencies organize files. Axon Records builds on that solution, using video data to streamline the report-writing process, which means officers spend less time on paperwork. Finally, Axon Respond is real-time situational awareness software that allows dispatchers and commanders to access video feeds and GPS information from officers in the field, helping them make data-driven decisions during critical situations.While Axon faces competition, primarily from Motorola, its broad customer base gives it a significant edge. Axon has a customer relationship with 17,000 of the 18,000 law enforcement agencies in the U.S., which that has helped the company establish itself as the global leader in CEDs, body cameras, and digital-evidence management software.Not surprisingly, that has translated into solid financial growth. Over the past year, revenue rose 28% to $872 million, and the company posted positive free cash flow of $102.6 million, up from a loss of $20.1 million in the previous year.Looking ahead, Axon puts its addressable market at $52 billion, and management has outlined a straightforward growth strategy that involves adding sales channels in new geographies, launching new products, and targeting new markets -- especially consumer safety and justice system software.For instance, Axon recently released TASER Bolt 2, a consumer safety device that automatically alerts dispatchers when fired. The company also launched Axon Attorney Premier, a version of its digital evidence management software designed for defenders and prosecutors.Here's the big picture: Axon helps law enforcement agencies and public safety officials work more productively. That's a strong value proposition, and it should make Axon a market-beating investment over the next decade.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":273,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9097265762,"gmtCreate":1645486786698,"gmtModify":1676534031293,"author":{"id":"4099626387861790","authorId":"4099626387861790","name":"Snuu","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/41733f48fe859e910863f992c6e0de1d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good read&nbsp;","listText":"Good read&nbsp;","text":"Good read","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9097265762","repostId":"2212671969","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2212671969","pubTimestamp":1645452001,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2212671969?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-02-21 22:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Want $2,000 in Annual Dividend Income?

Whether you love chasing after the innovative capacity of growth stocks or prefer the simplicity of value stocks, either strategy can work wonders over the long run.</p><p>But when it comes to wealth building, few investing strategies have been more consistent than buying dividend stocks.</p><p>Although it&#39;s a report I reference often, J.P. Morgan Asset Management&#39;s comparison of the performance of dividend-paying stocks to those not paying a dividend over multiple decades speaks wonders. J.P. Morgan Asset Management, a division of money-center bank <b>JPMorgan Chase</b>, found that dividend-paying companies returned an annual average of 9.5% between 1972 and 2012. By comparison, the companies not paying a dividend crawled to an annualized return of 1.6% over the same period.</p><p>Over time, we should expect dividend stocks to outperform. Companies that parse out a dividend on a regular basis are often profitable, time-tested, and have transparent long-term outlooks. These are typically companies that won&#39;t keep investors awake at night with worry.</p><p>Ideally, income seekers want the highest dividend yield possible with the least amount of risk. However, risk and yield tend to correlate once yields hit 4% or above. In other words, high-yielding stocks can be yield traps -- i.e., companies with enticingly high yields where the underlying business model is struggling or broken.</p><p>The good news is that not all high-yielding stocks are bad news. The following three ultra-high-yielding stocks, which are averaging (yes, <i>averaging</i>) a 12.32% dividend yield, can generate $2,000 in annual dividend income with an initial investment of only $16,250 (split evenly, three ways).</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NLY\">Annaly Capital Management</a>: 12.12% yield</h2><p>Mortgage real estate investment trust (REIT) <b>Annaly Capital Management</b> (NYSE:NLY) is no stranger to ultra-high-yield dividend stock lists. It&#39;s perhaps the most-trusted ultra-high-yield stock, with an average yield of around 10% over the past two decades. The company has also doled out more than $20 billion in dividend income since its inception in 1997.</p><p>Mortgage REITs like Annaly have a relatively straightforward operating model, even if the securities they own can be somewhat complex. Annaly is looking to borrow money at the lowest short-term rate possible, and use this capital to purchase higher-yielding long-term assets, like mortgage-backed securities (MBSs). The wider the gap between the average yield on MBSs and the average borrowing rate (this difference is known as the net interest margin), the more money mortgage REITs like Annaly can make.</p><p>As you might imagine, the mortgage REIT operating model tends to be interest-rate sensitive, with lower rates often providing the best environment for companies like Annaly to thrive. Over the past couple of months, the interest rate yield curve has flattened a bit, with the 2-year and 10-year yields on U.S. Treasury bonds narrowing. Since the 10-year Treasury bond is a good predictor for where mortgage rates head next, this tightening has resulted in a shrinking book value for Annaly.</p><p>But if you pan out beyond just the next couple of quarters, there&#39;s a lot to be excited about. If the Federal Reserve does raise lending rates, as expected, it&#39;ll also lift the yields on the MBSs Annaly is purchasing. Over time, this will widen the company&#39;s net interest margin.</p><p>What&#39;s more, the interest rate yield curve spends a disproportionately longer period of time in steepening than it does flattening. That&#39;s because the U.S. economy spends years expanding, compared to a couple of months or a few quarters in recession. In short, patience should pay off handsomely for Annaly&#39;s shareholders.</p><h2>Icahn Enterprises: 14.44% yield</h2><p>Another high-yielding dividend stock that can deliver an enormous amount of income from a relatively small investment is diversified holding company <b>Icahn Enterprises</b> (NASDAQ:IEP). This master limited partnership has paid a quarterly distribution for nearly 17 consecutive years and is currently yielding north of 14%!</p><p>There are two key reasons Icahn Enterprises is a smart buy for patient, income-seeking investors (aside from its insanely high yield). First, you get the leadership of Carl Icahn, who&#39;s the founder of the company and the chairman of the board of directors. Icahn is arguably <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the best-known activist investors on Wall Street. Activist investors usually buy up a single-digit-percentage stake in a company with the goal of gaining board seats or effecting change(s) to increase shareholder value. Sometimes this means pushing for the sale of noncore assets, introducing a capital return program, or perhaps putting an entire company up for sale.</p><p>The beauty of the activist-investor approach is that it usually benefits shareholders. While no activist investor has a perfect track record of success, Icahn has shown that he can help create value in virtually any economic environment. That&#39;s been demonstrated by Icahn Enterprises&#39; 66 consecutive quarterly distributions.</p><p>The second reason this ultra-high-yield stock can be a foundation for income seekers is the cyclical ties of its core holdings. The company has more than a half-dozen different industries represented by its operating segments. But a large percentage of this representation is tied to the energy and automotive industries. As noted, even though recessions are inevitable, periods of expansion last considerably longer. This suggests the natural expansion of the U.S. and global economy over time will allow the value of Icahn Enterprises&#39; cyclical holdings to increase.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AGNCO\">AGNC Investment Corp.</a>: 10.4% yield</h2><p>The third ultra-high-yield dividend stock that can pad investors&#39; pocketbooks is <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AGNCM\">AGNC Investment Corp</a>.</b> (NASDAQ:AGNC). It has averaged a double-digit yield in 12 of the past 13 years, making it one of the most consistently high-yielding companies of the past decade.</p><p>AGNC is another mortgage REIT that investors can trust. It has the same basic operating model as Annaly Capital Management, with a unique aspect or two that income seekers should be aware of.</p><p>For instance, AGNC has been parsing out its dividend on a monthly basis since October 2014. Most dividend stocks and mortgage REITs, including Annaly, pay their dividends once a quarter. If you prefer the adrenaline rush of nabbing a payout from your holdings on a monthly basis, buying AGNC is the smart way to go.</p><p>Something else to note about AGNC Investment is the company&#39;s penchant for buying agency securities. An agency asset is backed by the federal government in the event of default. As of the end of 2021, $79.7 billion of AGNC&#39;s $82 billion investment portfolio was agency securities. This is an even higher percentage of agency securities, relative to total portfolio holdings, than Annaly has. Though this added protection does lower the yields AGNC nets from the MBSs it purchases, it also allows the company to deploy leverage to boost its profit potential.</p><p>The transparency of the mortgage REIT industry also allows income investors to make smart decisions. The stocks in this industry tend to trade very close to their respective book values. With AGNC&#39;s shares changing hands for just 88% of their book value at the time of this writing, it makes for not only an excellent income stock, but a fantastic bounce-back candidate from a share price perspective.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Want $2,000 in Annual Dividend Income?

Sometimes this means pushing for the sale of noncore assets, introducing a capital return program, or perhaps putting an entire company up for sale.The beauty of the activist-investor approach is that it usually benefits shareholders. While no activist investor has a perfect track record of success, Icahn has shown that he can help create value in virtually any economic environment. That's been demonstrated by Icahn Enterprises' 66 consecutive quarterly distributions.The second reason this ultra-high-yield stock can be a foundation for income seekers is the cyclical ties of its core holdings. The company has more than a half-dozen different industries represented by its operating segments. But a large percentage of this representation is tied to the energy and automotive industries. As noted, even though recessions are inevitable, periods of expansion last considerably longer. This suggests the natural expansion of the U.S. and global economy over time will allow the value of Icahn Enterprises' cyclical holdings to increase.AGNC Investment Corp.: 10.4% yieldThe third ultra-high-yield dividend stock that can pad investors' pocketbooks is AGNC Investment Corp. (NASDAQ:AGNC). It has averaged a double-digit yield in 12 of the past 13 years, making it one of the most consistently high-yielding companies of the past decade.AGNC is another mortgage REIT that investors can trust. It has the same basic operating model as Annaly Capital Management, with a unique aspect or two that income seekers should be aware of.For instance, AGNC has been parsing out its dividend on a monthly basis since October 2014. Most dividend stocks and mortgage REITs, including Annaly, pay their dividends once a quarter. If you prefer the adrenaline rush of nabbing a payout from your holdings on a monthly basis, buying AGNC is the smart way to go.Something else to note about AGNC Investment is the company's penchant for buying agency securities. An agency asset is backed by the federal government in the event of default. As of the end of 2021, $79.7 billion of AGNC's $82 billion investment portfolio was agency securities. This is an even higher percentage of agency securities, relative to total portfolio holdings, than Annaly has. Though this added protection does lower the yields AGNC nets from the MBSs it purchases, it also allows the company to deploy leverage to boost its profit potential.The transparency of the mortgage REIT industry also allows income investors to make smart decisions. The stocks in this industry tend to trade very close to their respective book values. With AGNC's shares changing hands for just 88% of their book value at the time of this writing, it makes for not only an excellent income stock, but a fantastic bounce-back candidate from a share price perspective.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":208,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9097897682,"gmtCreate":1645404774145,"gmtModify":1676534024617,"author":{"id":"4099626387861790","authorId":"4099626387861790","name":"Snuu","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/41733f48fe859e910863f992c6e0de1d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buy the dip.","listText":"Buy the dip.","text":"Buy the dip.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9097897682","repostId":"1171234681","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1171234681","pubTimestamp":1645324391,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1171234681?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-02-20 10:33","market":"us","language":"en","title":"PayPal: Panic Time","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1171234681","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryPayPal has executed well during the pandemic, but the market bid up shares to unreasonably hi","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Summary</b></p><ul><li>PayPal has executed well during the pandemic, but the market bid up shares to unreasonably high levels.</li><li>This has been corrected now, as shares have been falling for months.</li><li>Right now, PayPal actually trades at a huge discount compared to how the company was valued in the past.

(PYPL) has seen its shares drop tremendously over the last couple of months. From a very overvalued level, shares have now dropped to a<i>below-average</i>valuation. PayPal has a solid long-term growth outlook I believe, even though it&#39;s not as dominant as some other payment companies, such as Visa (V) or Mastercard (MA).</p><p>With the market seemingly in panic mode when it comes to PayPal, sending shares lower every day, investors with a long-term focus could benefit a lot from the current, pretty weak sentiment by buying when the market is fearful. One can argue that investors should wait for shares to bottom out before stepping into a position, but the current very oversold condition could make a bounce likely in the near term.</p><p><b>Fintechs As A COVID Play Get Decimated</b></p><p>During the first phase of the pandemic, some tech companies that were seen as pandemic beneficiaries saw their shares rally to new highs, even as the broad market was struggling. This included PayPal Holdings and many of its peers in the fintech industry. On the back of rising e-commerce sales, investors were convinced that PayPal and its peers would grow massively in the pandemic environment. And indeed, 2020 and 2021 were very solid years for PayPal:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/69f15186a44a5dd4ed9c51c88f089916\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"177\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>PYPL results (Seeking Alpha)</span></p><p>We see that PayPal was able to grow its revenue by around 20%-30% between Q2 2020 and Q2 2021, i.e. during the first year of the pandemic. During the second half of 2021, growth slowed down but remained at a solid low-teens level. Looking at PYPL&#39;s share price history, the market was overreacting quite a lot to this compelling underlying growth. PYPL&#39;s shares did not rise by 20% or 30% in 2020 and 2021. Instead, shares climbed from $108 at the beginning of 2020 to $310 at the peak, which equates to a 190% increase in its share price. This was clearly not warranted by the underlying growth the company experienced. Instead, these huge share price gains were primarily driven by massive multiple expansion. That is a great thing to happen for those that bought<i>before</i>multiples started to expand and that sold at the top. But for those that bought at historically high valuations, the story is different. Despite the fact that PayPal has continued to deliver solid business growth in the last two quarters, those that bought at the highs have seen their investment crash by around 70% -- it will take a 200% increase in PayPal&#39;s share price for them to break even. Valuations don&#39;t matter until they do, and those that chased PYPL without considering the high valuation paid the price.</p><p>For those that remained on the sidelines, or that locked in gains on the way up, the recent massive pullback could provide for a compelling entry point, however. In 2022 alone, PayPal has dropped by 42%, and the company has lost about $240 billion in market capitalization from the highs seen last year. PayPal is not alone in that, however. Instead, many other &#34;bubbly&#34;, overly expensive pandemic favorites among the fintech names have performed badly in recent months as well:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6cc5112c8148e2002b115c26a5bbcc82\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>SoFi Technologies (SOFI), Upstart Holdings (UPST), and LendingClub (LC) all saw their shares drop by 50% to 60%+ from the highs they hit last year. PayPal thus is not an outlier. Instead, it has performed more or less in line with how some of its peers performed. The whole industry was trading at unreasonable levels last year and has now been correcting for months.</p><p><b>PayPal&#39;s Growth Potential In The Coming Years</b></p><p>PayPal is a household name with strong brand recognition and belongs to the largest payment companies in the world. Its total payment volume has easily surpassed $1 trillion in 2021:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d51862081c9cf6247687e326e453b5ae\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"359\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>PYPL TPV and revenue (PYPL presentation)</span></p><p>With total payment volume at $1.25 trillion in 2021, PayPal is still substantially smaller than some of the credit card giants such as Visa (which has TPV of around $3 trillion per quarter) or Mastercard, but outside of those two, PayPal is a leading player in the payment space. PayPal also managed to grow its payment volume at an attractive pace in 2021, at 33%.</p><p>Revenue, meanwhile, grew by 18% in 2021. That&#39;s a very solid growth rate in absolute terms, but at the same time, the substantial discrepancy between PayPal&#39;s TPV growth and its revenue growth shows that the company&#39;s take rate continues to decline -- which naturally isn&#39;t positive at all. As long as TPV continues to grow at a rapid pace, revenues should continue to grow, however.</p><p>For 2022, PayPal is forecasting payment volumes of $1.5 trillion, or about 20% more than in 2021. Revenues are expected to climb by around 16% this year. On one hand, this means that the take rate will continue to shrink, as revenues will underperform TPV growth again. But the discrepancy will be lower than in 2021, which indicates that the take rate is declining at a slower pace this year. If PayPal manages to stop the take rate declines eventually, that would be a very positive development, as it would allow the company to grow its revenue in line with future TPV growth.</p><p>The overall payment volume growth outlook for PayPal is solid beyond 2022 as well. E-commerce spending will continue to grow around the globe, with projections seeing double-digit growth in 2023, 2024, and 2025:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/932fd874fee815df965356ecf97b8a7b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"482\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>E-commerce growth (statista.com)</span></p><p>With global e-commerce sales continuing to grow, fintech companies and payment solution players such as PayPal operate with steady macro tailwinds. In other areas, the macro outlook is positive as well. In a world that grows ever more connected, cross-border payment volumes should continue to climb. Here, PayPal is advantaged to benefit from market growth, as its technology and availability in many different countries positions it well to be one of the top players in processing these growing cross-border payment volumes.</p><p>With PayPal adding new users constantly (10 million during the most recent quarter alone), it should be able to grow its payment volumes at an attractive pace for many years. With more and more consumers around the world accessing the internet, PayPal still has significant growth potential when it comes to the number of customers it serves.</p><p><b>PayPal&#39;s Valuation: Getting Very Reasonable</b></p><p>PayPal always was seen as a growth company, thus its shares never were particularly cheap. Even before shares moved upwards at a rapid pace in 2020 and 2021, PayPal used to be a pricy stock:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c635d0171bdf0e0509b5256c5a6ddc93\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"467\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>The 5-year and 7-year median earnings multiples are in the 50s. At the heights during the COVID bubble, PayPal was even more expensive, however. At a peak price of $310 in 2021, shares were valued at around 70x 2021&#39;s earnings per share -- it is not surprising that buying at that valuation didn&#39;t work out for investors.</p><p>Likewise, PayPal always traded with a relatively high EV/EBITDA multiple, with the longer-term median readings standing at around 30. During the heights in 2021, shares were even more expensive.</p><p>With shares dropping to just above $100, they have become way more reasonably valued, however. Based on current expectations, shares are, in fact, trading at a huge discount compared to how PYPL was valued in the past:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ce761bb96d4dc960244e62cf168ccaa4\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>Shares are trading for 23x this year&#39;s expected earnings per share, while the earnings multiple based on next year&#39;s expected EPS is just 18. Likewise, the EV/EBITDA multiple is standing at just 17 today. These valuations are roughly half as high as the longer-term median valuations shown above. One can argue, of course, that PYPL always was too expensive when it traded at 50x earnings or higher in the past, and that seems like a very reasonable argument to me. On top of that, investors should also consider that the law of large numbers dictates that PayPal&#39;s growth in the coming years will likely be weaker than over the last five years. 2022 will also be a year during which PayPal will not grow its earnings per share meaningfully, despite solid revenue growth being expected, which can be explained by management&#39;s plan to invest in growth initiatives such as its Pay Later offerings.</p><p>There are thus good reasons to believe that PayPal will never again trade at 50x net profits, but the current valuation nevertheless seems far from high. A company that grows its revenue at double-digits and that will likely do so for years, and that trades at just above 20x net profits, seems like a very reasonable value to me.</p><p><b>Things To Consider</b></p><p>PayPal has ramped up its buybacks in Q4, returning $1.5 billion to its owners via share repurchases in that quarter alone ($3.4 billion in all of 2021). With shares becoming way less expensive in 2022 so far, PayPal hopefully will ramp up its buybacks further. Shares have dropped more than 40% so far this year, which means that buybacks at current prices are way more powerful than they were last year. In retrospect, timing with buybacks in 2021 has not been great at all, but the company&#39;s interest in returning cash to its owners via buybacks generally is positive. If PayPal keeps that going, the share count could shrink quite a lot this year and beyond.</p><p>From a technical perspective, PayPal&#39;s shares are oversold in the short term. The stock&#39;s relative strength index stands at an abysmally low21right now, with RSI readings below 30 generally suggesting that shares are oversold. From a technical perspective, a bounce would thus not be overly surprising. On the other hand, there&#39;s the old adage of never trying to catch a falling knife -- and PYPL surely is a falling knife right now. Since markets are still pretty jittery due to macro factors such as Fed policy, the Ukraine situation, etc. it seems very much possible that PYPL will fall under $100 in the coming days or weeks. Waiting for an even more opportune entry point could thus pay off.</p><p><b>Takeaway</b></p><p>During the pandemic, PYPL was bid up to bubble levels. Over the last couple of months, however, the market seems to be in panic mode -- shares have sold off massively, with them dropping more than 40% in 2022 alone. Shares have fallen through their historical valuation ranges and are now trading at a huge discount compared to how PYPL was valued in the past. From a technical perspective, shares are way oversold as well.</p><p>I do believe that PayPal is very reasonably valued today and that there is a good chance that investors will see healthy returns over the coming years when they buy today. But waiting for an even better entry point could allow for even better returns. Since markets are willing to sell fintech companies at any price right now, even lower entry points would not be a large surprise, I believe.</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>PayPal: Panic Time</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\">\nPayPal: Panic Time\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-02-20 10:33 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4488266-paypal-stock-price-valuation-panic-time><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryPayPal has executed well during the pandemic, but the market bid up shares to unreasonably high levels.This has been corrected now, as shares have been falling for months.Right now, PayPal ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4488266-paypal-stock-price-valuation-panic-time\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"PYPL":"PayPal"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4488266-paypal-stock-price-valuation-panic-time","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1171234681","content_text":"SummaryPayPal has executed well during the pandemic, but the market bid up shares to unreasonably high levels.This has been corrected now, as shares have been falling for months.Right now, PayPal actually trades at a huge discount compared to how the company was valued in the past.

On top of that, investors should also consider that the law of large numbers dictates that PayPal's growth in the coming years will likely be weaker than over the last five years. 2022 will also be a year during which PayPal will not grow its earnings per share meaningfully, despite solid revenue growth being expected, which can be explained by management's plan to invest in growth initiatives such as its Pay Later offerings.There are thus good reasons to believe that PayPal will never again trade at 50x net profits, but the current valuation nevertheless seems far from high. A company that grows its revenue at double-digits and that will likely do so for years, and that trades at just above 20x net profits, seems like a very reasonable value to me.Things To ConsiderPayPal has ramped up its buybacks in Q4, returning $1.5 billion to its owners via share repurchases in that quarter alone ($3.4 billion in all of 2021). With shares becoming way less expensive in 2022 so far, PayPal hopefully will ramp up its buybacks further. Shares have dropped more than 40% so far this year, which means that buybacks at current prices are way more powerful than they were last year. In retrospect, timing with buybacks in 2021 has not been great at all, but the company's interest in returning cash to its owners via buybacks generally is positive. If PayPal keeps that going, the share count could shrink quite a lot this year and beyond.From a technical perspective, PayPal's shares are oversold in the short term. The stock's relative strength index stands at an abysmally low21right now, with RSI readings below 30 generally suggesting that shares are oversold. From a technical perspective, a bounce would thus not be overly surprising. On the other hand, there's the old adage of never trying to catch a falling knife -- and PYPL surely is a falling knife right now. Since markets are still pretty jittery due to macro factors such as Fed policy, the Ukraine situation, etc. it seems very much possible that PYPL will fall under $100 in the coming days or weeks. Waiting for an even more opportune entry point could thus pay off.TakeawayDuring the pandemic, PYPL was bid up to bubble levels. Over the last couple of months, however, the market seems to be in panic mode -- shares have sold off massively, with them dropping more than 40% in 2022 alone. Shares have fallen through their historical valuation ranges and are now trading at a huge discount compared to how PYPL was valued in the past. From a technical perspective, shares are way oversold as well.I do believe that PayPal is very reasonably valued today and that there is a good chance that investors will see healthy returns over the coming years when they buy today. But waiting for an even better entry point could allow for even better returns. Since markets are willing to sell fintech companies at any price right now, even lower entry points would not be a large surprise, I believe.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":138,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9097894716,"gmtCreate":1645404734826,"gmtModify":1676534024594,"author":{"id":"4099626387861790","authorId":"4099626387861790","name":"Snuu","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/41733f48fe859e910863f992c6e0de1d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Strong]&nbsp;","listText":"[Strong]&nbsp;","text":"[Strong]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9097894716","repostId":"2212383678","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2212383678","pubTimestamp":1645342032,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2212383678?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-02-20 15:27","market":"us","language":"en","title":"A Perfect Storm Cut Shopify Stock in Half; Is It Time to Buy?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2212383678","media":"TipRanks","summary":"The stock market is in brutal mode right now and signaling to the pandemic era stars that it is payb","content":"<div>\n<p>The stock market is in brutal mode right now and signaling to the pandemic era stars that it is payback time.

For example, shares of Shopify (SHOP) have shed 51% year-to-date with 16% of the decline coming in Wednesday’s session, following the Canadian ecommerce giant’s Q4 report.That is despite the company beating the estimates on both the top-and bottom-line. Revenue increased by 41% year-over-year to reach $1.38 billion - $40 million above the consensus estimate, while non-GAAP EPS of $1.37 provided a $0.06 beat.But as has become de rigueur, investors are no longer impressed by quarterly outperformance, they want confirmation the growth is set to continue. And this is a problem for many online companies, which were particularly in favor during the height of Covid’s impact; as consumers shifted spending habits online, some experienced huge growth sprouts which will not be repeated.The picture is even more complex for Shopify. Hand in hand with more normalized growth, the company has said it intends to heavily spend this year on the expansion of its distribution network.While Piper Sandler's Brent Bracelin thinks the plan could work in the long run, it alters the picture closer to the here and now.“The elevated investment appetite was surprising and could pressure profits and cash flows in the short-run,” the 5-star analyst explained. “In the end, this should better position the company to capture a more meaningful portion of the $4T U.S. retail commerce industry with the potential to re-accelerate growth in 2023. However, the gross margin implications and higher execution risks in the near-term could change how growth investors value SHOP with a greater emphasis on EV/GP multiples going forward.”To this end, while Bracelin sticks to an Overweight (i.e., Buy) rating, given “higher execution risks,” the analyst has slashed the price target from $1,400 to $900, suggesting shares could climb ~34% in the year ahead.The Street’s average target, on the other hand, remains elevated. Shares are anticipated to appreciate by 74% over the coming months, given the average price target stands at $1,302 and change. The picture is more mixed on the ratings front; the stock’s Moderate Buy consensus rating is based on 14 Buys and 10 Holds.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":269,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9098840942,"gmtCreate":1644106358482,"gmtModify":1676533889560,"author":{"id":"4099626387861790","authorId":"4099626387861790","name":"Snuu","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/41733f48fe859e910863f992c6e0de1d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"I will hold","listText":"I will hold","text":"I will hold","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9098840942","repostId":"1196927717","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1196927717","pubTimestamp":1644033090,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1196927717?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-02-05 11:51","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Palantir: Red Flag Or Opportunity?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1196927717","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryPalantir has only 203 total customers as of Q3 2021, while just 20 of those customers account","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Summary</b></p><ul><li>Palantir has only 203 total customers as of Q3 2021, while just 20 of those customers account for 58% of total revenue.</li><li>Revenue growth in Palantir’s core client cohort slowed to 20% annualized through the first three quarters of 2021 compared to 2020.</li><li>During 2021, Palantir fundamentally transformed its go-to-market strategy.

The long-term opportunity lies in becoming a foundational enterprise operating system capable of integrating structured and unstructured data for real-time intelligence. However, a number of notable red flags warrant caution. The primary red flags include slowing sales, an unusual go-to-market shift, rapidly decelerating profitability, and an elevated valuation which offers limited margin for error.</p><p><b>Risk/Reward Rating: Neutral</b></p><p>Palantir has an unusual business model compared to its peers in the enterprise software sector in regard to how it acquires and grows its customer base. The company categorizes its customers according to three phases of development or cohorts: (1) Acquire, (2) Expand, and (3) Scale. While they are generic terms that are applicable to all businesses, they are unique in the case of Palantir due to how the company approaches its customers.</p><p><b>Customer Detail</b></p><p>Palantir defines a customer in the Acquire cohort as one that has generated less than $100,000 of revenue as of year-end while being unprofitable to Palantir. The Expand cohort is characterized by a customer that generated more than $100,000 of sales yet remained unprofitable. Finally, the Scale cohort is defined as a customer that has generated more than $100,000 of revenue while being a profitable relationship for Palantir during the year.</p><p>The following tables were compiled from Palantir’s Q3 2021 10-Q filed with the SEC. The first table displays Palantir’s 2020 sales from each of the client cohorts which were categorized at the end of 2020 (2020 Revenue). In the 2021 Annualized column, you will find the sales of each of these 2020 customer cohorts through Q3 2021 annualized. In the second set of tables, I have compiled key details regarding Palantir’s largest customers over the past twelve months, as well as critical details pertaining to customers that are new to Palantir in 2021 which are not yet assigned to a cohort. Cohort categorization occurs at the end of each year.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0e38ee31a1d6e826d2d02216e39ac570\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"151\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdox</span></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b4dc61112528e104ef0d3a8dc80f89d1\" tg-width=\"581\" tg-height=\"481\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdox</span></p><p>For ease of comparison, I have color-coded the information that is related. One of the dominant realities for Palantir is its concentrated customer base, which is highlighted in blue. Palantir has only 203 customers, with the top 20 accounting for 58% of sales.</p><p>By definition, Palantir’s largest customers are in the Scale cohort. Through the first three quarters of 2021, the Scale cohort (categorized as such at the end of 2020) is growing at an annualized rate of 20%. Given that this group accounts for 86% of Palantir’s revenue, it will be challenging to move the sales growth needle materially above 20% without explosive growth from the other two cohorts or a material acceleration from the Scale cohort. It should be noted that management is guiding to 30% annual sales growth through mid-decade.</p><p>The 2020 year-end Acquire and Expand cohorts are highlighted in yellow in the upper table. New customers in 2021 will not be assigned to a cohort until the year-end Palantir report. I have highlighted the pertinent 2021 new customer data in yellow for easy comparison to the 2020 Acquire and Expand customer cohorts. I view the 2021 new customer sales performance excluding sales to Investees to be a sustainable core growth rate. The Investee customer acquisition strategy is extraordinarily unusual and carries an exceedingly high capital risk which introduces reputational and, therefore, brand risk.</p><p>Please note that Investee here refers to customers that Palantir has purchased the stock of in return for the Investee using Palantir’s software. Meaning, the revenue from Investees is a reciprocation of Palantir investing in the shares of these customers. In this respect, these are not arm’s-length transactions. I believe the new client numbers excluding sales to Investees is an important data point for ascertaining a purely market-based new customer growth rate.</p><p>Similar to the Scale cohort growth rate annualizing at 20% in 2021, the new customer sales growth rate is annualizing at 22% through Q3 2021 compared to the $20.6 million of sales from the Acquire and Expand cohorts of 2020. While this is not a perfect comparison for sales growth from new customers, it is a fair estimation. As a result, Palantir appears to be trending toward an underlying sales growth rate closer to 20% than the company’s 30% sales growth guidance through mid-decade.</p><p><b>Investees</b></p><p>It is important to step back and review Palantir’s investments in Investees as this is an extraordinarily unusual go-to-market strategy for customer acquisition. The above numbers, which suggest revenue growth is trending toward 20%, place Palantir’s use of its balance sheet cash to fund new customers in a new light. The following tables were compiled from Palantir’s Q3 2021 10-Q. The first table lists companies that Palantir has funded as of the end of Q3 2021. The second table displays Palantir’s investment commitments to new companies that are not yet funded.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4dda111182479c1fbaddc642369e4bd3\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"264\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdox</span></p><p>I have conducted a cursory review of each of the above companies. The common theme is that they are all early-stage companies in the most popular growth sectors. These sectors include EVs, robotics, flying electric vehicles, satellite services and drug discovery. None of the Investees appears to offer enough appreciation potential in its own right to move the needle materially for Palantir’s valuation. Palantir’s ownership stake ranges from 0.4% to 1.6%.</p><p>It remains unclear how much of each company’s funding can be spent on Palantir’s software. Furthermore, it is not clear if the $19 million of revenue through Q3 2021 from these companies is sustainable.</p><p>I have highlighted in blue Palantir’s total investment of $150 million in the seven companies. The yellow highlighted cell represents the current valuation of the investments. Palantir is now down approximately $64 million on these seven companies alone. This highlights an extreme risk for this method of customer acquisition as the capital losses to date dwarf the revenue generated. There are other private company investments not listed above, however, Palantir does not break out the details. They are included in other assets on Palantir’s balance sheet which amounted to $116 million as of Q3 2021.</p><p>The following table displays Palantir’s commitments to invest in new companies as of Q3 2021. I have highlighted in yellow the two companies that Palantir funded subsequent to the end of Q3 2021.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e06664e25242d0bacb6f2a64a7a80228\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"526\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdox</span></p><p>I have highlighted in blue the total funding commitment for new investments as of Q3 2021. This is $252 million on top of the $150 million completed prior to the end of Q3. While I have not looked into these particular companies, they appear similar to the first seven investments reviewed above. Meaning, they appear to carry extreme capital risk with upside potential that is likely to be minimal when compared to the valuation upside inherent in Palantir’s software business. It should be noted that recent valuations were extreme and continue to contract rapidly. As a result, the timing risk for capital loss is also heightened by making the investments at the top of the VC/IPO cycle.</p><p><b>Financial Performance</b></p><p>Turning to Palantir’s recent performance, I have chosen to view sales growth excluding the Investees as this is the most likely sustainable growth trajectory. The following table was compiled from Palantir’s Q3 2021 10-Q filed with the SEC. I made an adjustment by removing Investee revenue to arrive at a net revenue figure.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b09c2f2aada9cb30c8b720be23d096e2\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"156\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdox</span></p><p>I have highlighted in yellow the 29% revenue growth in Q3 2021 after removing the Investee revenue. Investees added 6.5% to growth in Q3. Year-to-date, the Investee revenue accounted for 1.7% revenue growth. The 29% growth rate is already decelerating beneath the company’s 30% growth guidance through mid-decade. Keep in mind that the Investee revenue stream will grow with additional funding of Palantir’s investment commitments. Regardless, growth is decelerating rapidly at 29% in Q3 compared to 41% year-to-date excluding these non-arm’s-length sales.</p><p><b>Geographic &amp; Segment Sales</b></p><p>The sales slowdown is being led by France, which contracted 22% through the first three quarters of 2021 (highlighted in orange below). It should be noted that Palantir has had a material relationship with Airbus and the airline industry. This could be a negative read through for an important client and industry. While the US remained the best performer in Q3 2021, growth is slowing rapidly as is evidenced by the blue highlighted cells below. The table was compiled from Palantir’s Q3 2021 10-Q filed with the SEC.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b19bc17658ff1b951eec789ec95deddd\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"314\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdox</span></p><p>In addition to France, the rest of the world is also slowing rapidly, from 45% through the first nine months of the year to 20% in Q3 2021. Please note that these are reported sales without any adjustments. The following table was compiled from the same SEC filing and highlights that the large sales slowdown in Q3 occurred in the Government segment. Please keep in mind that the Investee revenue is included in the figures below and added approximately 6.5% to the Q3 growth rate in the Commercial segment.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9a553cc3913c2af281262da7b15bdc3c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"278\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdox</span></p><p>In summary, the Commercial segment is growing revenue rather steadily, approximately 29% excluding the Investee revenue. However, the Government segment is decelerating rapidly, from 57% through the first nine months of 2021 to 34% in Q3.</p><p><b>Gross Profit &amp; KPI</b></p><p>Palantir’s unusual customer acquisition strategy predates the shift to Investees. The company’s sales and marketing expenses appear to be quite similar to the cost of goods sold for other companies. This is the case because Palantir offers prospective customers free pilot programs as opposed to requiring payment upfront for use of its software. Sales and marketing personnel execute the pilot programs and coordinate solution development in order to generate sales. The following quote from the Q3 2021 10-Q summarizes the situation:</p><blockquote>Sales and marketing costs primarily include salaries, stock-based compensation expense, and benefits for our sales force and personnel involved in executing on pilots and customer growth activities...</blockquote><p>As a result, I view the sales and marketing expense in the case of Palantir to be a cost of goods sold and reduction to gross margin. While this categorization does not affect the bottom line, it does serve to place the reported 78% gross margin in context.</p><p>I believe this perspective on sales and marketing expense is helpful in thinking about Palantir’s business model in relation to other companies and relative valuations that rely on gross profit margins. The following table was compiled from Palantir’s Q3 2021 10-Q and displays the reported cost of revenue and sales and marketing expense adjusted by removing the related stock-based compensation expense from each line item.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/55c5e5fcea6102ca9d0542c130ee1d15\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"501\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdox</span></p><p>Notice that the adjusted gross profit growth has slowed considerably to 25% in Q3 (highlighted in blue in the lower portion of the table) compared to 59% through the first nine months of 2021 (highlighted in yellow). The cost of sales is rising rapidly in Q3 2021 compared to the first nine months of the year.</p><p>Palantir utilizes one KPI or Key Performance Indicator to judge performance and inform decision-making, which is referred to as Contribution Margin.

General and administrative expenses accelerated rapidly in Q3 2021, while Palantir materially reduced research and development investment to just 5% growth in Q3.</p><p>The research and development investment slowdown could be a negative read through for sales growth as R&amp;D is an integral part of the sales process. Research and development expenses should track the sales cycle through the three customer phases: Acquire, Expand, and Scale. As customer needs are identified by sales and marketing, research and development expenses should respond to increased future sales potential. This does not appear to be happening at the moment.</p><p>As of Q3 2021, Palantir is annualizing at an adjusted operating income run rate of approximately $300 to $320 million, or about $.16 per share. This is a before-tax operating income figure. The primary takeaway from the operating income front is that profitability is slowing rapidly. This provides additional color for the unusual Investee customer acquisition strategy being deployed.</p><p><b>Consensus Growth Estimates</b></p><p>If Palantir is producing at a $320 million adjusted annual operating income run rate and it was taxed at a normalized 25% rate, the current earnings power would be in the $240 million range or $.12 per diluted share. With this information and the growth deceleration outlined above, we can begin to put consensus earnings estimates into context. The following table was compiled from Seeking Alpha and displays consensus earnings and revenue estimates through 2023.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/022fd2d18964776a3e20294c7917548f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"241\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: Seeking Alpha. Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdox</span></p><p>I have highlighted the 2022 consensus estimates for earnings and sales growth. Notice that the 39% consensus earnings growth estimate for 2022 is in line with the 40% operating income growth posted in Q3 of 2021. Additionally, the sales growth estimate of 30% is just above the 29% adjusted sales growth in Q3 2021 excluding sales to Investees.</p><p>The 39% earnings growth expected for 2022 appears to be at material risk of being too high given the rapid slowdown in operating income to 40% in Q3 2021 compared to 266% through the first nine months of the year. This trajectory would likely place earnings growth for 2022 well below 39%.</p><p>The 30% sales growth estimate for 2022 looks to be achievable given Palantir’s aggressive investment strategy in regard to Investees who then purchase Palantir software. I believe the market will tend to discount Investee sales as I have. Excluding these sales, the revenue growth trajectory appears to be trending closer to 20% than 30% for 2022, which opens the door to further growth disappointment.</p><p>Looking to consensus estimates for 2023, the expected growth rates are remarkably similar to 2022. This straight-line growth forecast through 2023 adds to the risk that consensus estimates could be too high over the coming years. The current trajectory points to growth materially below that expected for 2022 and 2023.</p><p><b>Valuation</b></p><p>Palantir is trading at 87x the consensus earnings estimate for 2021 and 62x that for 2022. Please keep in mind that these are non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) earnings estimates. On a GAAP basis, Palantir continues to produce at a loss. The reported loss in Q3 2021 was $92 million and was $352 million through the first nine months of 2021.</p><p>Using the non-GAAP earnings estimates, 87x current year earnings and 62x forward earnings are extreme valuations from a historical market perspective. That said, they are within the realm of possibility for a growth stock in recent years. When viewed against Palantir’s rapidly slowing sales and operating income growth rates, as well as the heightened risk that consensus estimates may be too high, the current valuation multiples on consensus estimates offer little margin for error.</p><p>On the sales front, Palantir is valued at 17x the consensus 2021 revenue estimate and 13x that for 2022. These are extreme price-to-sales multiples for a large-cap company from a historical perspective. My estimate of core sales growth trending toward 20% excluding Investee revenue suggests that these valuation multiples on sales also offer little margin for error.</p><p>The valuation risks are further elevated when combined with the rapidly slowing operating income growth. Furthermore, as can be seen in my adjusted gross margin figure growing at 25% as of Q3 2021, the Palantir business model may not be supportive of a historically extreme price-to-sales valuation.</p><p><b>Technicals</b></p><p>While the fundamental backdrop points toward little margin for error and subdued excess return potential, the technical setup suggests more meaningful upside return potential. The following 3-year weekly chart offers a bird’s eye view of the potential technical return spectrum. I have highlighted the key resistance levels with orange horizontal lines and the primary support level with a green line.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e9aaa4f2a36fa507e420c9353d0cd91c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"372\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Palantir 3-year weekly chart. (Created by Brian Kapp using a chart from Barchart.com)</span></p><p>The return potential to the nearest resistance levels of $19 and $22 is 43% and 65%, respectively. On the downside, the nearest support lies at the IPO price range near $10. The downside return potential to this level is -25%. It should be noted that Palantir’s short trading history of 16 months limits the usefulness of technical analysis. Additionally, with no trading history beneath the IPO price, it is unclear where support will be found if the $10 level is breached to the downside.</p><p>To estimate downside potential beneath $10, I apply an earnings multiple of 40x the 2022 non-GAAP consensus earnings estimate. This valuation is twice that of the current market averages and would place Palantir shares at $8. This represents -40% downside risk from current levels.</p><p>If the 39% consensus earnings estimate for 2022 is too high, further downside from $8 is in the realm of possibility. To estimate the downside risk potential if estimates are too high, I apply the same 40x non-GAAP earnings to my estimate of Palantir’s current annual run rate for fully-taxed, non-GAAP profitability. If earnings growth comes in at 25% for 2022 (my estimate of adjusted gross profit growth as of Q3 2021) on top of my estimate of $.12 for the current annual run rate of adjusted earnings after tax, the shares could trade down to $6. This would represent downside risk of -55%.</p><p>The following daily chart provides a closer look at the technical backdrop.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa32fdab79f60368696ab122ff81b60a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"372\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>The technical picture suggests heavy resistance between $19 and $22. Given the unrelenting downtrend over the past three months, a near-term bounce is likely. That said, the upside technical potential combined with the downside fundamental potential leaves the shares with a balanced potential return spectrum of 65% to -55% over the near term.</p><p><b>Summary</b></p><p>All told, Palantir should be placed on the watchlist for high-risk growth investors. The long-term opportunity lies in becoming a foundational enterprise operating system capable of integrating structured and unstructured data for real-time intelligence. However, with notable red flags in the mix, caution is in order. The primary red flags include slowing sales, an unusual go-to-market shift, rapidly decelerating profitability, and an elevated valuation which offers limited margin for error. The resulting symmetry between risk and reward results in a neutral rating.</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: Red Flag Or Opportunity?</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: Red Flag Or Opportunity?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-02-05 11:51 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4484295-palantir-red-flag-or-opportunity><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryPalantir has only 203 total customers as of Q3 2021, while just 20 of those customers account for 58% of total revenue.Revenue growth in Palantir’s core client cohort slowed to 20% annualized ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4484295-palantir-red-flag-or-opportunity\">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/4484295-palantir-red-flag-or-opportunity","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1196927717","content_text":"SummaryPalantir has only 203 total customers as of Q3 2021, while just 20 of those customers account for 58% of total revenue.Revenue growth in Palantir’s core client cohort slowed to 20% annualized through the first three quarters of 2021 compared to 2020.During 2021, Palantir fundamentally transformed its go-to-market strategy. The company is now using its cash to aggressively invest in other companies (Investees) who agree to purchase Palantir’s software.Management continues to guide for 30% sales growth through mid-decade. However, Palantir’s 3-phase business model hints at sales trending lower excluding its Investee sales.Palantir offers extraordinary long-term growth potential which should place it on the watchlist of all growth investors. The investment case rests on the fulcrum between opportunity and red flags.agawa288/iStock via Getty ImagesI am assigning Palantir (NYSE:PLTR) a neutral risk/reward rating as the long-term growth opportunity is counterbalanced by near-term red flags. The long-term opportunity lies in becoming a foundational enterprise operating system capable of integrating structured and unstructured data for real-time intelligence. However, a number of notable red flags warrant caution. The primary red flags include slowing sales, an unusual go-to-market shift, rapidly decelerating profitability, and an elevated valuation which offers limited margin for error.Risk/Reward Rating: NeutralPalantir has an unusual business model compared to its peers in the enterprise software sector in regard to how it acquires and grows its customer base. The company categorizes its customers according to three phases of development or cohorts: (1) Acquire, (2) Expand, and (3) Scale. While they are generic terms that are applicable to all businesses, they are unique in the case of Palantir due to how the company approaches its customers.Customer DetailPalantir defines a customer in the Acquire cohort as one that has generated less than $100,000 of revenue as of year-end while being unprofitable to Palantir. The Expand cohort is characterized by a customer that generated more than $100,000 of sales yet remained unprofitable. Finally, the Scale cohort is defined as a customer that has generated more than $100,000 of revenue while being a profitable relationship for Palantir during the year.The following tables were compiled from Palantir’s Q3 2021 10-Q filed with the SEC. The first table displays Palantir’s 2020 sales from each of the client cohorts which were categorized at the end of 2020 (2020 Revenue). In the 2021 Annualized column, you will find the sales of each of these 2020 customer cohorts through Q3 2021 annualized. In the second set of tables, I have compiled key details regarding Palantir’s largest customers over the past twelve months, as well as critical details pertaining to customers that are new to Palantir in 2021 which are not yet assigned to a cohort. Cohort categorization occurs at the end of each year.Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdoxSource: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdoxFor ease of comparison, I have color-coded the information that is related. One of the dominant realities for Palantir is its concentrated customer base, which is highlighted in blue. Palantir has only 203 customers, with the top 20 accounting for 58% of sales.By definition, Palantir’s largest customers are in the Scale cohort. Through the first three quarters of 2021, the Scale cohort (categorized as such at the end of 2020) is growing at an annualized rate of 20%. Given that this group accounts for 86% of Palantir’s revenue, it will be challenging to move the sales growth needle materially above 20% without explosive growth from the other two cohorts or a material acceleration from the Scale cohort. It should be noted that management is guiding to 30% annual sales growth through mid-decade.The 2020 year-end Acquire and Expand cohorts are highlighted in yellow in the upper table. New customers in 2021 will not be assigned to a cohort until the year-end Palantir report. I have highlighted the pertinent 2021 new customer data in yellow for easy comparison to the 2020 Acquire and Expand customer cohorts. I view the 2021 new customer sales performance excluding sales to Investees to be a sustainable core growth rate. The Investee customer acquisition strategy is extraordinarily unusual and carries an exceedingly high capital risk which introduces reputational and, therefore, brand risk.Please note that Investee here refers to customers that Palantir has purchased the stock of in return for the Investee using Palantir’s software. Meaning, the revenue from Investees is a reciprocation of Palantir investing in the shares of these customers. In this respect, these are not arm’s-length transactions. I believe the new client numbers excluding sales to Investees is an important data point for ascertaining a purely market-based new customer growth rate.Similar to the Scale cohort growth rate annualizing at 20% in 2021, the new customer sales growth rate is annualizing at 22% through Q3 2021 compared to the $20.6 million of sales from the Acquire and Expand cohorts of 2020. While this is not a perfect comparison for sales growth from new customers, it is a fair estimation. As a result, Palantir appears to be trending toward an underlying sales growth rate closer to 20% than the company’s 30% sales growth guidance through mid-decade.InvesteesIt is important to step back and review Palantir’s investments in Investees as this is an extraordinarily unusual go-to-market strategy for customer acquisition. The above numbers, which suggest revenue growth is trending toward 20%, place Palantir’s use of its balance sheet cash to fund new customers in a new light. The following tables were compiled from Palantir’s Q3 2021 10-Q. The first table lists companies that Palantir has funded as of the end of Q3 2021. The second table displays Palantir’s investment commitments to new companies that are not yet funded.Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdoxI have conducted a cursory review of each of the above companies. The common theme is that they are all early-stage companies in the most popular growth sectors. These sectors include EVs, robotics, flying electric vehicles, satellite services and drug discovery. None of the Investees appears to offer enough appreciation potential in its own right to move the needle materially for Palantir’s valuation. Palantir’s ownership stake ranges from 0.4% to 1.6%.It remains unclear how much of each company’s funding can be spent on Palantir’s software. Furthermore, it is not clear if the $19 million of revenue through Q3 2021 from these companies is sustainable.I have highlighted in blue Palantir’s total investment of $150 million in the seven companies. The yellow highlighted cell represents the current valuation of the investments. Palantir is now down approximately $64 million on these seven companies alone. This highlights an extreme risk for this method of customer acquisition as the capital losses to date dwarf the revenue generated. There are other private company investments not listed above, however, Palantir does not break out the details. They are included in other assets on Palantir’s balance sheet which amounted to $116 million as of Q3 2021.The following table displays Palantir’s commitments to invest in new companies as of Q3 2021. I have highlighted in yellow the two companies that Palantir funded subsequent to the end of Q3 2021.Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdoxI have highlighted in blue the total funding commitment for new investments as of Q3 2021. This is $252 million on top of the $150 million completed prior to the end of Q3. While I have not looked into these particular companies, they appear similar to the first seven investments reviewed above. Meaning, they appear to carry extreme capital risk with upside potential that is likely to be minimal when compared to the valuation upside inherent in Palantir’s software business. It should be noted that recent valuations were extreme and continue to contract rapidly. As a result, the timing risk for capital loss is also heightened by making the investments at the top of the VC/IPO cycle.Financial PerformanceTurning to Palantir’s recent performance, I have chosen to view sales growth excluding the Investees as this is the most likely sustainable growth trajectory. The following table was compiled from Palantir’s Q3 2021 10-Q filed with the SEC. I made an adjustment by removing Investee revenue to arrive at a net revenue figure.Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdoxI have highlighted in yellow the 29% revenue growth in Q3 2021 after removing the Investee revenue. Investees added 6.5% to growth in Q3. Year-to-date, the Investee revenue accounted for 1.7% revenue growth. The 29% growth rate is already decelerating beneath the company’s 30% growth guidance through mid-decade. Keep in mind that the Investee revenue stream will grow with additional funding of Palantir’s investment commitments. Regardless, growth is decelerating rapidly at 29% in Q3 compared to 41% year-to-date excluding these non-arm’s-length sales.Geographic & Segment SalesThe sales slowdown is being led by France, which contracted 22% through the first three quarters of 2021 (highlighted in orange below). It should be noted that Palantir has had a material relationship with Airbus and the airline industry. This could be a negative read through for an important client and industry. While the US remained the best performer in Q3 2021, growth is slowing rapidly as is evidenced by the blue highlighted cells below. The table was compiled from Palantir’s Q3 2021 10-Q filed with the SEC.Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdoxIn addition to France, the rest of the world is also slowing rapidly, from 45% through the first nine months of the year to 20% in Q3 2021. Please note that these are reported sales without any adjustments. The following table was compiled from the same SEC filing and highlights that the large sales slowdown in Q3 occurred in the Government segment. Please keep in mind that the Investee revenue is included in the figures below and added approximately 6.5% to the Q3 growth rate in the Commercial segment.Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdoxIn summary, the Commercial segment is growing revenue rather steadily, approximately 29% excluding the Investee revenue. However, the Government segment is decelerating rapidly, from 57% through the first nine months of 2021 to 34% in Q3.Gross Profit & KPIPalantir’s unusual customer acquisition strategy predates the shift to Investees. The company’s sales and marketing expenses appear to be quite similar to the cost of goods sold for other companies. This is the case because Palantir offers prospective customers free pilot programs as opposed to requiring payment upfront for use of its software. Sales and marketing personnel execute the pilot programs and coordinate solution development in order to generate sales. The following quote from the Q3 2021 10-Q summarizes the situation:Sales and marketing costs primarily include salaries, stock-based compensation expense, and benefits for our sales force and personnel involved in executing on pilots and customer growth activities...As a result, I view the sales and marketing expense in the case of Palantir to be a cost of goods sold and reduction to gross margin. While this categorization does not affect the bottom line, it does serve to place the reported 78% gross margin in context.I believe this perspective on sales and marketing expense is helpful in thinking about Palantir’s business model in relation to other companies and relative valuations that rely on gross profit margins. The following table was compiled from Palantir’s Q3 2021 10-Q and displays the reported cost of revenue and sales and marketing expense adjusted by removing the related stock-based compensation expense from each line item.Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdoxNotice that the adjusted gross profit growth has slowed considerably to 25% in Q3 (highlighted in blue in the lower portion of the table) compared to 59% through the first nine months of 2021 (highlighted in yellow). The cost of sales is rising rapidly in Q3 2021 compared to the first nine months of the year.Palantir utilizes one KPI or Key Performance Indicator to judge performance and inform decision-making, which is referred to as Contribution Margin. It is similar to my adjusted gross margin figure above as can be seen in the following table compiled from Palantir’s Q3 2021 10-Q.Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdoxNotice that the contribution row is remarkably similar to my adjusted gross profit row in the previous table. Additionally, the growth rate deceleration is similar, as can be seen in the highlighted cells. While 37% is materially different from my estimate of 25% growth, the step change lower from 64% is of similar amplitude.Operating IncomeTurning to operating income, I have adjusted the reported figures once again by removing stock option-related expenses as well as one-off expenses pertaining to the direct listing IPO in 2020. The overriding message is once again one of rapid deceleration. The following table was compiled from the same SEC filing and displays operating expenses excluding sales and marketing expenses, as well as my adjusted operating income estimate.Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdoxIn the lower section of the table, notice the incredible deceleration in adjusted operating income to 40% growth in Q3 of 2021 compared to 266% growth through the first nine months of the year. General and administrative expenses accelerated rapidly in Q3 2021, while Palantir materially reduced research and development investment to just 5% growth in Q3.The research and development investment slowdown could be a negative read through for sales growth as R&D is an integral part of the sales process. Research and development expenses should track the sales cycle through the three customer phases: Acquire, Expand, and Scale. As customer needs are identified by sales and marketing, research and development expenses should respond to increased future sales potential. This does not appear to be happening at the moment.As of Q3 2021, Palantir is annualizing at an adjusted operating income run rate of approximately $300 to $320 million, or about $.16 per share. This is a before-tax operating income figure. The primary takeaway from the operating income front is that profitability is slowing rapidly. This provides additional color for the unusual Investee customer acquisition strategy being deployed.Consensus Growth EstimatesIf Palantir is producing at a $320 million adjusted annual operating income run rate and it was taxed at a normalized 25% rate, the current earnings power would be in the $240 million range or $.12 per diluted share. With this information and the growth deceleration outlined above, we can begin to put consensus earnings estimates into context. The following table was compiled from Seeking Alpha and displays consensus earnings and revenue estimates through 2023.Source: Seeking Alpha. Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdoxI have highlighted the 2022 consensus estimates for earnings and sales growth. Notice that the 39% consensus earnings growth estimate for 2022 is in line with the 40% operating income growth posted in Q3 of 2021. Additionally, the sales growth estimate of 30% is just above the 29% adjusted sales growth in Q3 2021 excluding sales to Investees.The 39% earnings growth expected for 2022 appears to be at material risk of being too high given the rapid slowdown in operating income to 40% in Q3 2021 compared to 266% through the first nine months of the year. This trajectory would likely place earnings growth for 2022 well below 39%.The 30% sales growth estimate for 2022 looks to be achievable given Palantir’s aggressive investment strategy in regard to Investees who then purchase Palantir software. I believe the market will tend to discount Investee sales as I have. Excluding these sales, the revenue growth trajectory appears to be trending closer to 20% than 30% for 2022, which opens the door to further growth disappointment.Looking to consensus estimates for 2023, the expected growth rates are remarkably similar to 2022. This straight-line growth forecast through 2023 adds to the risk that consensus estimates could be too high over the coming years. The current trajectory points to growth materially below that expected for 2022 and 2023.ValuationPalantir is trading at 87x the consensus earnings estimate for 2021 and 62x that for 2022. Please keep in mind that these are non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) earnings estimates. On a GAAP basis, Palantir continues to produce at a loss. The reported loss in Q3 2021 was $92 million and was $352 million through the first nine months of 2021.Using the non-GAAP earnings estimates, 87x current year earnings and 62x forward earnings are extreme valuations from a historical market perspective. That said, they are within the realm of possibility for a growth stock in recent years. When viewed against Palantir’s rapidly slowing sales and operating income growth rates, as well as the heightened risk that consensus estimates may be too high, the current valuation multiples on consensus estimates offer little margin for error.On the sales front, Palantir is valued at 17x the consensus 2021 revenue estimate and 13x that for 2022. These are extreme price-to-sales multiples for a large-cap company from a historical perspective. My estimate of core sales growth trending toward 20% excluding Investee revenue suggests that these valuation multiples on sales also offer little margin for error.The valuation risks are further elevated when combined with the rapidly slowing operating income growth. Furthermore, as can be seen in my adjusted gross margin figure growing at 25% as of Q3 2021, the Palantir business model may not be supportive of a historically extreme price-to-sales valuation.TechnicalsWhile the fundamental backdrop points toward little margin for error and subdued excess return potential, the technical setup suggests more meaningful upside return potential. The following 3-year weekly chart offers a bird’s eye view of the potential technical return spectrum. I have highlighted the key resistance levels with orange horizontal lines and the primary support level with a green line.Palantir 3-year weekly chart. (Created by Brian Kapp using a chart from Barchart.com)The return potential to the nearest resistance levels of $19 and $22 is 43% and 65%, respectively. On the downside, the nearest support lies at the IPO price range near $10. The downside return potential to this level is -25%. It should be noted that Palantir’s short trading history of 16 months limits the usefulness of technical analysis. Additionally, with no trading history beneath the IPO price, it is unclear where support will be found if the $10 level is breached to the downside.To estimate downside potential beneath $10, I apply an earnings multiple of 40x the 2022 non-GAAP consensus earnings estimate. This valuation is twice that of the current market averages and would place Palantir shares at $8. This represents -40% downside risk from current levels.If the 39% consensus earnings estimate for 2022 is too high, further downside from $8 is in the realm of possibility. To estimate the downside risk potential if estimates are too high, I apply the same 40x non-GAAP earnings to my estimate of Palantir’s current annual run rate for fully-taxed, non-GAAP profitability. If earnings growth comes in at 25% for 2022 (my estimate of adjusted gross profit growth as of Q3 2021) on top of my estimate of $.12 for the current annual run rate of adjusted earnings after tax, the shares could trade down to $6. This would represent downside risk of -55%.The following daily chart provides a closer look at the technical backdrop.The technical picture suggests heavy resistance between $19 and $22. Given the unrelenting downtrend over the past three months, a near-term bounce is likely. That said, the upside technical potential combined with the downside fundamental potential leaves the shares with a balanced potential return spectrum of 65% to -55% over the near term.SummaryAll told, Palantir should be placed on the watchlist for high-risk growth investors. The long-term opportunity lies in becoming a foundational enterprise operating system capable of integrating structured and unstructured data for real-time intelligence. However, with notable red flags in the mix, caution is in order. The primary red flags include slowing sales, an unusual go-to-market shift, rapidly decelerating profitability, and an elevated valuation which offers limited margin for error. The resulting symmetry between risk and reward results in a neutral rating.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":90,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9091307288,"gmtCreate":1643770399189,"gmtModify":1676533854291,"author":{"id":"4099626387861790","authorId":"4099626387861790","name":"Snuu","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/41733f48fe859e910863f992c6e0de1d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ouchh i own some paypal 😩","listText":"Ouchh i own some paypal 😩","text":"Ouchh i own some paypal 😩","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9091307288","repostId":"2208359751","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2208359751","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1643757904,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2208359751?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-02-02 07:25","market":"us","language":"en","title":"PayPal Stock Tumbles 17% as Ebay Impacts Weigh on Earnings Outlook","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2208359751","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"PayPal Holdings Inc. largely matched expectations for its holiday quarter but delivered an earnings ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>PayPal Holdings Inc. largely matched expectations for its holiday quarter but delivered an earnings forecast that came up shy of expectations.</p><p>The payment-technology company reported fourth-quarter net income of $801 million, or 68 cents a share, down from $1.56 billion, or $1.32 a share, a year prior.

But those gains quickly evaporated as the Fed statement warned it would soon begin raising the Fed Funds target rate to combat persistent inflation related to the COVID-hobbled supply chain.</p><p>&#34;With inflation well above 2 percent and a strong labor market, the Committee expects it will soon be appropriate to raise the target range for the federal funds rate,&#34; the statement said.</p><p>Stocks slid into negative territory once Fed Chairman Jerome Powell&#39;s subsequent Q&amp;A got under way, during which he warned that inflation remains above its long-run goal and supply problems are bigger and more long-lasting than previously thought.</p><p>&#34;When reporters asked Powell if the Fed would consider raising rates at every meeting, which would mean more than four  times this year, he didn’t say they wouldn’t, which indicates a flexibility to raise rates much more quickly (if necessary) than anyone was expecting,&#34; said Chris Zaccarelli, chief investment officer at Independent Advisor Alliance in Charlotte, North Carolina.</p><p>The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 129.64 points, or 0.38%, to 34,168.09, the S&amp;P 500 lost 6.52 points, or 0.15%, to 4,349.93 and the Nasdaq Composite added 2.82 points, or 0.02%, to 13,542.12.</p><p>While all 11 major sectors of the S&amp;P 500 spent much of the trading day green, by the time the dust settled only tech and financials showed gains.</p><p>Fourth-quarter reporting season has hit full stride, with one-fifth of the companies in the S&amp;P 500 having posted results. Of those, 81% have beaten consensus, according to Refinitiv data.</p><p>Microsoft Corp gained 2.8% after current-quarter revenue guidance, driven in part by its cloud business, came in above consensus.</p><p>Boeing Co was down 4.8% after the plane maker said it incurred $4.5 billion in charges in the fourth quarter related to its sidelined 787.</p><p>Toy maker Mattel Inc jumped 4.3% after regaining the right from rival Hasbro Inc to produce toys based on Walt Disney Co&#39;s &#34;Frozen&#34; franchise.</p><p>Shares of Tesla gyrated wildly in extended trade after the electric vehicle maker warned that its factories would run below capacity through 2022 due to supply-chain limitations.</p><p>Declining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by a 2.12-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 1.98-to-1 ratio favored decliners.</p><p>The S&amp;P 500 posted 12 new 52-week highs and 9 new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 28 new highs and 206 new lows.</p><p>Volume on U.S. exchanges was 14.50 billion shares, compared with the 11.58 billion average over the last 20 trading days.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The financials sector   , which has been one of the better-performing groups in 2022, dropped 2.3%.“The financials crumbling a little bit under the weight of less-than-impressive earnings quarters is probably the biggest factor today,” said Chuck Carlson, chief executive officer at Horizon Investment Services in Hammond, Indiana. “When you have taken out potentially one of the areas that actually was working here, that kind of casts a pall on the market.”Benchmark U.S. Treasury yields jumped to two-year highs and two-year yields breached 1% as traders prepared for the Federal Reserve to be more aggressive in tackling unabated inflation.The steep ascent in yields to start 2022 has weighed in particular on tech and growth stocks, whose future expected cash flows are discounted more sharply as yields rise.“The hot inflation prints have spooked the market that the Fed is going to move and so we are seeing this rise in yields,” said Mona Mahajan, senior investment strategist at Edward Jones.\"It’s not only the rise in yields but the rapid rise in yields ... that really does cause some indigestion in the market, but particularly in growth, higher valuation, more speculative asset classes,” Mahajan said.The Dow Jones Industrial Average    fell 543.34 points, or 1.51%, to 35,368.47, the S&P 500    lost 85.74 points, or 1.84%, to 4,577.11 and the Nasdaq Composite    dropped 386.86 points, or 2.6%, to 14,506.90.Of 11 S&P 500 sectors, 10 ended lower, with technology falling the most. Energy   , the top-percentage gainer so far in 2022, was the lone sector in positive territory, rising 0.4%.Declines in megacap stocks, including Microsoft   , Apple    and Meta Platforms   , weighed heavily on the S&P 500 among individual shares.A BofA survey showed that fund managers had cut their overweight positions in tech to their lowest levels since 2008, while another survey by Deutsche Bank found that a majority of respondents believed U.S. technology stocks are in bubble territory.Investors are zeroing in on next week's Fed policy meeting for more clarity on central bankers' next moves to rein in inflation. Data last week showed U.S. consumer prices increased solidly in December, culminating in the largest annual rise in inflation in nearly four decades.In company news, Activision    shares soared nearly 26% after Microsoft    announced a deal to buy the video-game maker for $68.7 billion. Shares of other video game companies rose, with Electronic Arts    up 2.7% and Take-Two Interactive Software    up 1%. Microsoft shares fell 2.4%.Declining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by a 5.52-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 4.93-to-1 ratio favored decliners.The S&P 500 posted 34 new 52-week highs and nine new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 69 new highs and 611 new lows.About 11.9 billion shares changed hands in U.S. exchanges, compared with the 10 billion daily average over the last 20 sessions.Goldman profit hit by weaker trading, rising expenses; shares tumble.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":321,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9002157881,"gmtCreate":1641949438339,"gmtModify":1676533665497,"author":{"id":"4099626387861790","authorId":"4099626387861790","name":"Snuu","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/41733f48fe859e910863f992c6e0de1d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9002157881","repostId":"1159672605","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1159672605","pubTimestamp":1641945971,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1159672605?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-01-12 08:06","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"Singapore Stock Market Has Another Green Light For Wednesday","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1159672605","media":"RTTNews","summary":"The Singapore stock market has finished higher in four straight sessions, collecting more than 80 po","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The Singapore stock market has finished higher in four straight sessions, collecting more than 80 points or 2.5 percent along the way.

During the quarter, more than 200,000 customers canceled their subscriptions.</p><p>Netflix had expected to add 2.5 million new subscribers this quarter, while the market had expected as many as 2.7 million.</p><p>The loss led many analysts to revise their projections for NFLX downward. As investors bailed, the stock fell 25% on April 19 and 35% on the 20th.</p><p>Currently, the stock is trading at prices last seen in 2018. Could this be a signal to buy? We don&#39;t think so.</p><p><b>Is the Streaming Industry in Danger?</b></p><p>The streaming market is growing fast and should continue to do so in the coming years. Its growth prospects are particularly good in developing countries, where internet access is spreading.</p><p>However, because the market is so fragmented, competition can hurt companies. We see this with Netflix, which by raising prices is subject to losing subscribers to several other rivals, such as Disney+ and Amazon Prime Video.</p><p><b>What to Expect in the Coming Months</b></p><p>Netflix has already said that it is studying cheaper subscription models for its platform and is courting the possibility of adding a low-priced tier that would include ads. Although the company has previously been proudly ad-free, its rivals HBOMax and Hulu have already adopted this strategy successfully.</p><p>Will Netflix&#39;s ad revenue help to compensate for a potential decrease in the average subscription price? Even if the company uses a lower membership tier to grow its user base again, it&#39;s possible that its revenue won&#39;t grow as it has in the past.</p><p>In addition, Netflix has also announced that it plans to crack down on password sharing. In the U.S. and Canada, Netflix estimates that 30% of households are using a shared password to access its content.</p><p>Even if the company can solve these problems and sees some growth in the short term, we can&#39;t see Netflix fixing its growth troubles in the long term.</p><p><b>Our View: It&#39;s Not Time to Buy</b></p><p>Even with a 35% drop in just one day, it&#39;s hard to make the case that NFLX is currently a cheap stock. Netflix, which is considered a growth company, has stopped growing like it used to.

One day after releasing its first-quarter results, NFLX stock dropped 35%.Let's understand what happened and discuss whether now is the time to invest in the video streaming leader.Figure 1: Netflix Stock: Should You Buy the Dip?What Happened to Netflix?The company recorded a drop in subscriber numbers for the first time in more than 10 years. During the quarter, more than 200,000 customers canceled their subscriptions.Netflix had expected to add 2.5 million new subscribers this quarter, while the market had expected as many as 2.7 million.The loss led many analysts to revise their projections for NFLX downward. As investors bailed, the stock fell 25% on April 19 and 35% on the 20th.Currently, the stock is trading at prices last seen in 2018. Could this be a signal to buy? We don't think so.Is the Streaming Industry in Danger?The streaming market is growing fast and should continue to do so in the coming years. Its growth prospects are particularly good in developing countries, where internet access is spreading.However, because the market is so fragmented, competition can hurt companies. We see this with Netflix, which by raising prices is subject to losing subscribers to several other rivals, such as Disney+ and Amazon Prime Video.What to Expect in the Coming MonthsNetflix has already said that it is studying cheaper subscription models for its platform and is courting the possibility of adding a low-priced tier that would include ads. Although the company has previously been proudly ad-free, its rivals HBOMax and Hulu have already adopted this strategy successfully.Will Netflix's ad revenue help to compensate for a potential decrease in the average subscription price? Even if the company uses a lower membership tier to grow its user base again, it's possible that its revenue won't grow as it has in the past.In addition, Netflix has also announced that it plans to crack down on password sharing. In the U.S. and Canada, Netflix estimates that 30% of households are using a shared password to access its content.Even if the company can solve these problems and sees some growth in the short term, we can't see Netflix fixing its growth troubles in the long term.Our View: It's Not Time to BuyEven with a 35% drop in just one day, it's hard to make the case that NFLX is currently a cheap stock. Netflix, which is considered a growth company, has stopped growing like it used to. It has even lost subscribers.Until the company is able to find other ways to monetize its existing subscribers, investors should rethink whether the company is a good buy.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":314,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9097265762,"gmtCreate":1645486786698,"gmtModify":1676534031293,"author":{"id":"4099626387861790","authorId":"4099626387861790","name":"Snuu","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/41733f48fe859e910863f992c6e0de1d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good read&nbsp;","listText":"Good read&nbsp;","text":"Good read","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9097265762","repostId":"2212671969","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":208,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9001338332,"gmtCreate":1641169738071,"gmtModify":1676533577912,"author":{"id":"4099626387861790","authorId":"4099626387861790","name":"Snuu","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/41733f48fe859e910863f992c6e0de1d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice&nbsp;","listText":"Nice&nbsp;","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9001338332","repostId":"2200544080","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2200544080","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1641163106,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2200544080?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-01-03 06:38","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla delivers 308,600 vehicles in Q4, beating estimates","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2200544080","media":"Reuters","summary":"Jan 2  - Tesla Incon Sunday reported record quarterly deliveries that far exceeded Wall Street estimates, riding out global chip shortages as it ramped up China production.It was the sixth consecutive quarter that the world's most valuable automaker posted record deliveries.Tesla, led by billionaire CEO Elon Musk, delivered 308,600 vehicles in the fourth quarter, far higher than analysts' forecasts of 263,026 vehicles.Tesla's October-December deliveries were up about 70% from a year earlier and ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Jan 2 (Reuters) - Tesla Inc on Sunday reported record quarterly deliveries that far exceeded Wall Street estimates, riding out global chip shortages as it ramped up China production.</p><p>It was the sixth consecutive quarter that the world&#39;s most valuable automaker posted record deliveries.</p><p>Tesla, led by billionaire CEO Elon Musk, delivered 308,600 vehicles in the fourth quarter, far higher than analysts&#39; forecasts of 263,026 vehicles.</p><p>Tesla&#39;s October-December deliveries were up about 70% from a year earlier and nearly 30% higher from record deliveries the preceding quarter.</p><p>&#34;Great work by Tesla team worldwide!&#34; Musk wrote on Twitter.</p><p>His electric car company ramped up production in China even though competition rose and regulatory pressure mounted following consumer complaints over product safety.</p><p>Tesla ships China-made models to Europe and some Asian countries.</p><p>On an annual basis, the automaker boosted its deliveries by 87% from a year earlier to 936,172 vehicles in 2021.</p><p>Musk said in October last year that Tesla will be able to maintain an annual growth rate of more than 50% for &#34;quite a while.&#34;</p><p><b>NEW FACTORIES</b></p><p>&#34;They have beaten all the odds,&#34; Gene Munster, managing partner at venture capital firm Loup Ventures, said on Sunday.</p><p>&#34;The first is the demand for their products is through the roof.

But without a clear catalyst pushing it there, it may take time.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":305,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9097267302,"gmtCreate":1645486879125,"gmtModify":1676534031326,"author":{"id":"4099626387861790","authorId":"4099626387861790","name":"Snuu","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/41733f48fe859e910863f992c6e0de1d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good read 👍&nbsp;","listText":"Good read 👍&nbsp;","text":"Good read 👍","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9097267302","repostId":"2213983160","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2213983160","pubTimestamp":1645451403,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2213983160?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-02-21 21:50","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tech Sell-Off: 2 Unstoppable Stocks to Buy and Hold for the Next Decade","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2213983160","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Investing in industry leaders is a good way to build a market-beating portfolio.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The stock market has struggled in recent months, especially in the tech sector.

And now looks like a good time to scoop up a few shares.</p><p>Here&#39;s what you should know.</p><h2>1. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CRM\">Salesforce</a></h2><p>Salesforce dominates the customer relationship management (CRM) industry.

In the past year, revenue jumped 23% to $25 billion, and free cash flow soared 54% to $5.5 billion. Better yet, management says revenue will double to $50 billion by fiscal 2026 (which will end Jan. 31, 2026), implying nearly 18% annualized growth over the next 17 quarters.</p><p>Here&#39;s the bottom line: Businesses must build and maintain good customer relationships if they hope to succeed over the long term. And when it comes to CRM, Salesforce is the best in the business. That&#39;s why this stock looks like a smart long-term investment.</p><h2>2. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AXON\">Axon Enterprise </a></h2><p>Axon is in the public safety business. The company is best known as the market-leading manufacturer of conducted energy devices (CEDs), sold under the brand name TASER. But Axon has also expanded into the tech sector with its ecosystem of connected sensors, including body cameras, in-car cameras, and drone-mounted aerial cameras, all of which feed data to the Axon Cloud, which itself comprises several software products.</p><p>For instance, Axon Evidence is a digital evidence management system that helps law enforcement agencies organize files. Axon Records builds on that solution, using video data to streamline the report-writing process, which means officers spend less time on paperwork. Finally, Axon Respond is real-time situational awareness software that allows dispatchers and commanders to access video feeds and GPS information from officers in the field, helping them make data-driven decisions during critical situations.</p><p>While Axon faces competition, primarily from <b>Motorola</b>, its broad customer base gives it a significant edge. Axon has a customer relationship with 17,000 of the 18,000 law enforcement agencies in the U.S., which that has helped the company establish itself as the global leader in CEDs, body cameras, and digital-evidence management software.</p><p>Not surprisingly, that has translated into solid financial growth. Over the past year, revenue rose 28% to $872 million, and the company posted positive free cash flow of $102.6 million, up from a loss of $20.1 million in the previous year.</p><p>Looking ahead, Axon puts its addressable market at $52 billion, and management has outlined a straightforward growth strategy that involves adding sales channels in new geographies, launching new products, and targeting new markets -- especially consumer safety and justice system software.</p><p>For instance, Axon recently released TASER Bolt 2, a consumer safety device that automatically alerts dispatchers when fired. The company also launched Axon Attorney Premier, a version of its digital evidence management software designed for defenders and prosecutors.</p><p>Here&#39;s the big picture: Axon helps law enforcement agencies and public safety officials work more productively. That&#39;s a strong value proposition, and it should make Axon a market-beating investment over the next decade.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Tech Sell-Off: 2 Unstoppable Stocks to Buy and Hold for the Next Decade</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\">\nTech Sell-Off: 2 Unstoppable Stocks to Buy and Hold for the Next Decade\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-02-21 21:50 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/02/21/tech-sell-off-2-unstoppable-stocks-to-buy-and-hold/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The stock market has struggled in recent months, especially in the tech sector.

It was the lowest revenue for that division since the first quarter of 2021.</p><p>Net income, at $2.32 billion, was up some 760%, and Tesla said it had a 27.4% gross margin, compared with 26.6% in the previous quarter.</p><p>“Our own factories have been running below capacity for several quarters as supply chain became the main limiting factor, which is likely to continue through 2022,” the company said.</p><p>In 2021,Tesla delivered 936,172 vehicles, an 87% increase versus 2020 when it reported its first annual profit on deliveries of 499,647.

Alphabet And Meta Returns Since 2013Portfolio Visualizer PremiumIn fact, both have crushed even the red hot Nasdaq during one of the hottest tech bull runs in US history, delivering Buffett-like 25% returns that resulted in an 8X return.YchartsWhile the market is currently in a correction, and growth stocks have been especially hard hit, Meta has been crushed, falling into a 50% bear market.I've bought both growth legends in this correction, but one is a core growth name in my correction plan, and the other is a non-core holding.So let me explain why both Meta and Alphabet are great companies, worth owning, and even buying more of right now.However, a careful examination of both of their fundamentals makes it clear that Alphabet is the global king of digital marketing, and this is likely to remain the case for the foreseeable future.The Challenge Facing Digital Marketers Right NoweMarketerGOOG, FB, and Amazon (AMZN) have a triopoly on US digital marketing, commanding an estimated 65% of the market.Both GOOG and FB are losing market share to AMZN because Amazon's ads are 3X as effective at converting to actual sales.That's because Amazon has spent decades gathering customer sales data and knows what its customers want better than anyone on earth.Apple's (AAPL) recent privacy shift in iOS, makes it much easier to opt out of data tracking, and 62% of iPhone users have indeed opted out.This has proven a hammer blow to FB, which management says could cost it $10 billion in 2022 alone.GOOG is less at risk since it still has the search data it can use to optimize for targeted ads.AMZN is the least at risk since it relies far less on cookie tracking than its rivals.This kind of business model disruption is part of FB and GOOG's risk profile, which brings us to our first point of comparison.Long-Term Risk Management: Winner AlphabetHow do we quantify, monitor, and track such a complex risk profile? By doing what big institutions do.Material Financial ESG Risk Analysis: How Large Institutions Measure Total Risk4 Things You Need To Know To Profit From ESG InvestingWhat Investors Need To Know About

long-term risk management (to deal with the disruption the digital advertising industry is currently facing)GOOG has superior return on capital and a more stable moatWhile FB offers superior valuation and potentially double the short-term return potential, it's a speculative blue-chip currently going through the largest business pivot in the company's history.In contrast, GOOG is a faster-growing Ultra SWAN that is expected to buy back almost $400 billion worth of stock in the next five years, double that of FB.Simply put, if you can only buy one of these growth legends today, I recommend Alphabet, and that's why I have it as a core growth position in my correction plan.Not just for the next few weeks, but all of 2022 and beyond.Because at the end of the day, when you focus on safety

The long-term opportunity lies in becoming a foundational enterprise operating system capable of integrating structured and unstructured data for real-time intelligence. However, a number of notable red flags warrant caution. The primary red flags include slowing sales, an unusual go-to-market shift, rapidly decelerating profitability, and an elevated valuation which offers limited margin for error.</p><p><b>Risk/Reward Rating: Neutral</b></p><p>Palantir has an unusual business model compared to its peers in the enterprise software sector in regard to how it acquires and grows its customer base. The company categorizes its customers according to three phases of development or cohorts: (1) Acquire, (2) Expand, and (3) Scale. While they are generic terms that are applicable to all businesses, they are unique in the case of Palantir due to how the company approaches its customers.</p><p><b>Customer Detail</b></p><p>Palantir defines a customer in the Acquire cohort as one that has generated less than $100,000 of revenue as of year-end while being unprofitable to Palantir. The Expand cohort is characterized by a customer that generated more than $100,000 of sales yet remained unprofitable. Finally, the Scale cohort is defined as a customer that has generated more than $100,000 of revenue while being a profitable relationship for Palantir during the year.</p><p>The following tables were compiled from Palantir’s Q3 2021 10-Q filed with the SEC. The first table displays Palantir’s 2020 sales from each of the client cohorts which were categorized at the end of 2020 (2020 Revenue). In the 2021 Annualized column, you will find the sales of each of these 2020 customer cohorts through Q3 2021 annualized. In the second set of tables, I have compiled key details regarding Palantir’s largest customers over the past twelve months, as well as critical details pertaining to customers that are new to Palantir in 2021 which are not yet assigned to a cohort. Cohort categorization occurs at the end of each year.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0e38ee31a1d6e826d2d02216e39ac570\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"151\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdox</span></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b4dc61112528e104ef0d3a8dc80f89d1\" tg-width=\"581\" tg-height=\"481\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdox</span></p><p>For ease of comparison, I have color-coded the information that is related. One of the dominant realities for Palantir is its concentrated customer base, which is highlighted in blue. Palantir has only 203 customers, with the top 20 accounting for 58% of sales.</p><p>By definition, Palantir’s largest customers are in the Scale cohort. Through the first three quarters of 2021, the Scale cohort (categorized as such at the end of 2020) is growing at an annualized rate of 20%. Given that this group accounts for 86% of Palantir’s revenue, it will be challenging to move the sales growth needle materially above 20% without explosive growth from the other two cohorts or a material acceleration from the Scale cohort. It should be noted that management is guiding to 30% annual sales growth through mid-decade.</p><p>The 2020 year-end Acquire and Expand cohorts are highlighted in yellow in the upper table. New customers in 2021 will not be assigned to a cohort until the year-end Palantir report. I have highlighted the pertinent 2021 new customer data in yellow for easy comparison to the 2020 Acquire and Expand customer cohorts. I view the 2021 new customer sales performance excluding sales to Investees to be a sustainable core growth rate. The Investee customer acquisition strategy is extraordinarily unusual and carries an exceedingly high capital risk which introduces reputational and, therefore, brand risk.</p><p>Please note that Investee here refers to customers that Palantir has purchased the stock of in return for the Investee using Palantir’s software. Meaning, the revenue from Investees is a reciprocation of Palantir investing in the shares of these customers. In this respect, these are not arm’s-length transactions. I believe the new client numbers excluding sales to Investees is an important data point for ascertaining a purely market-based new customer growth rate.</p><p>Similar to the Scale cohort growth rate annualizing at 20% in 2021, the new customer sales growth rate is annualizing at 22% through Q3 2021 compared to the $20.6 million of sales from the Acquire and Expand cohorts of 2020. While this is not a perfect comparison for sales growth from new customers, it is a fair estimation. As a result, Palantir appears to be trending toward an underlying sales growth rate closer to 20% than the company’s 30% sales growth guidance through mid-decade.</p><p><b>Investees</b></p><p>It is important to step back and review Palantir’s investments in Investees as this is an extraordinarily unusual go-to-market strategy for customer acquisition. The above numbers, which suggest revenue growth is trending toward 20%, place Palantir’s use of its balance sheet cash to fund new customers in a new light. The following tables were compiled from Palantir’s Q3 2021 10-Q. The first table lists companies that Palantir has funded as of the end of Q3 2021. The second table displays Palantir’s investment commitments to new companies that are not yet funded.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4dda111182479c1fbaddc642369e4bd3\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"264\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdox</span></p><p>I have conducted a cursory review of each of the above companies. The common theme is that they are all early-stage companies in the most popular growth sectors. These sectors include EVs, robotics, flying electric vehicles, satellite services and drug discovery. None of the Investees appears to offer enough appreciation potential in its own right to move the needle materially for Palantir’s valuation. Palantir’s ownership stake ranges from 0.4% to 1.6%.</p><p>It remains unclear how much of each company’s funding can be spent on Palantir’s software. Furthermore, it is not clear if the $19 million of revenue through Q3 2021 from these companies is sustainable.</p><p>I have highlighted in blue Palantir’s total investment of $150 million in the seven companies. The yellow highlighted cell represents the current valuation of the investments. Palantir is now down approximately $64 million on these seven companies alone. This highlights an extreme risk for this method of customer acquisition as the capital losses to date dwarf the revenue generated. There are other private company investments not listed above, however, Palantir does not break out the details. They are included in other assets on Palantir’s balance sheet which amounted to $116 million as of Q3 2021.</p><p>The following table displays Palantir’s commitments to invest in new companies as of Q3 2021. I have highlighted in yellow the two companies that Palantir funded subsequent to the end of Q3 2021.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e06664e25242d0bacb6f2a64a7a80228\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"526\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdox</span></p><p>I have highlighted in blue the total funding commitment for new investments as of Q3 2021. This is $252 million on top of the $150 million completed prior to the end of Q3. While I have not looked into these particular companies, they appear similar to the first seven investments reviewed above. Meaning, they appear to carry extreme capital risk with upside potential that is likely to be minimal when compared to the valuation upside inherent in Palantir’s software business. It should be noted that recent valuations were extreme and continue to contract rapidly. As a result, the timing risk for capital loss is also heightened by making the investments at the top of the VC/IPO cycle.</p><p><b>Financial Performance</b></p><p>Turning to Palantir’s recent performance, I have chosen to view sales growth excluding the Investees as this is the most likely sustainable growth trajectory. The following table was compiled from Palantir’s Q3 2021 10-Q filed with the SEC. I made an adjustment by removing Investee revenue to arrive at a net revenue figure.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b09c2f2aada9cb30c8b720be23d096e2\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"156\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdox</span></p><p>I have highlighted in yellow the 29% revenue growth in Q3 2021 after removing the Investee revenue. Investees added 6.5% to growth in Q3. Year-to-date, the Investee revenue accounted for 1.7% revenue growth. The 29% growth rate is already decelerating beneath the company’s 30% growth guidance through mid-decade. Keep in mind that the Investee revenue stream will grow with additional funding of Palantir’s investment commitments. Regardless, growth is decelerating rapidly at 29% in Q3 compared to 41% year-to-date excluding these non-arm’s-length sales.</p><p><b>Geographic &amp; Segment Sales</b></p><p>The sales slowdown is being led by France, which contracted 22% through the first three quarters of 2021 (highlighted in orange below). It should be noted that Palantir has had a material relationship with Airbus and the airline industry. This could be a negative read through for an important client and industry. While the US remained the best performer in Q3 2021, growth is slowing rapidly as is evidenced by the blue highlighted cells below. The table was compiled from Palantir’s Q3 2021 10-Q filed with the SEC.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b19bc17658ff1b951eec789ec95deddd\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"314\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdox</span></p><p>In addition to France, the rest of the world is also slowing rapidly, from 45% through the first nine months of the year to 20% in Q3 2021. Please note that these are reported sales without any adjustments. The following table was compiled from the same SEC filing and highlights that the large sales slowdown in Q3 occurred in the Government segment. Please keep in mind that the Investee revenue is included in the figures below and added approximately 6.5% to the Q3 growth rate in the Commercial segment.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9a553cc3913c2af281262da7b15bdc3c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"278\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdox</span></p><p>In summary, the Commercial segment is growing revenue rather steadily, approximately 29% excluding the Investee revenue. However, the Government segment is decelerating rapidly, from 57% through the first nine months of 2021 to 34% in Q3.</p><p><b>Gross Profit &amp; KPI</b></p><p>Palantir’s unusual customer acquisition strategy predates the shift to Investees. The company’s sales and marketing expenses appear to be quite similar to the cost of goods sold for other companies. This is the case because Palantir offers prospective customers free pilot programs as opposed to requiring payment upfront for use of its software. Sales and marketing personnel execute the pilot programs and coordinate solution development in order to generate sales. The following quote from the Q3 2021 10-Q summarizes the situation:</p><blockquote>Sales and marketing costs primarily include salaries, stock-based compensation expense, and benefits for our sales force and personnel involved in executing on pilots and customer growth activities...</blockquote><p>As a result, I view the sales and marketing expense in the case of Palantir to be a cost of goods sold and reduction to gross margin. While this categorization does not affect the bottom line, it does serve to place the reported 78% gross margin in context.</p><p>I believe this perspective on sales and marketing expense is helpful in thinking about Palantir’s business model in relation to other companies and relative valuations that rely on gross profit margins. The following table was compiled from Palantir’s Q3 2021 10-Q and displays the reported cost of revenue and sales and marketing expense adjusted by removing the related stock-based compensation expense from each line item.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/55c5e5fcea6102ca9d0542c130ee1d15\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"501\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdox</span></p><p>Notice that the adjusted gross profit growth has slowed considerably to 25% in Q3 (highlighted in blue in the lower portion of the table) compared to 59% through the first nine months of 2021 (highlighted in yellow). The cost of sales is rising rapidly in Q3 2021 compared to the first nine months of the year.</p><p>Palantir utilizes one KPI or Key Performance Indicator to judge performance and inform decision-making, which is referred to as Contribution Margin. It is similar to my adjusted gross margin figure above as can be seen in the following table compiled from Palantir’s Q3 2021 10-Q.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7cc4e966e16c27ea17f99ccb08a18957\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"281\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdox</span></p><p>Notice that the contribution row is remarkably similar to my adjusted gross profit row in the previous table. Additionally, the growth rate deceleration is similar, as can be seen in the highlighted cells. While 37% is materially different from my estimate of 25% growth, the step change lower from 64% is of similar amplitude.</p><p><b>Operating Income</b></p><p>Turning to operating income, I have adjusted the reported figures once again by removing stock option-related expenses as well as one-off expenses pertaining to the direct listing IPO in 2020. The overriding message is once again one of rapid deceleration. The following table was compiled from the same SEC filing and displays operating expenses excluding sales and marketing expenses, as well as my adjusted operating income estimate.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f5f344c289a598ec7824067b39c04f09\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"479\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdox</span></p><p>In the lower section of the table, notice the incredible deceleration in adjusted operating income to 40% growth in Q3 of 2021 compared to 266% growth through the first nine months of the year. General and administrative expenses accelerated rapidly in Q3 2021, while Palantir materially reduced research and development investment to just 5% growth in Q3.</p><p>The research and development investment slowdown could be a negative read through for sales growth as R&amp;D is an integral part of the sales process. Research and development expenses should track the sales cycle through the three customer phases: Acquire, Expand, and Scale. As customer needs are identified by sales and marketing, research and development expenses should respond to increased future sales potential. This does not appear to be happening at the moment.</p><p>As of Q3 2021, Palantir is annualizing at an adjusted operating income run rate of approximately $300 to $320 million, or about $.16 per share. This is a before-tax operating income figure. The primary takeaway from the operating income front is that profitability is slowing rapidly. This provides additional color for the unusual Investee customer acquisition strategy being deployed.</p><p><b>Consensus Growth Estimates</b></p><p>If Palantir is producing at a $320 million adjusted annual operating income run rate and it was taxed at a normalized 25% rate, the current earnings power would be in the $240 million range or $.12 per diluted share. With this information and the growth deceleration outlined above, we can begin to put consensus earnings estimates into context. The following table was compiled from Seeking Alpha and displays consensus earnings and revenue estimates through 2023.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/022fd2d18964776a3e20294c7917548f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"241\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: Seeking Alpha. Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdox</span></p><p>I have highlighted the 2022 consensus estimates for earnings and sales growth. Notice that the 39% consensus earnings growth estimate for 2022 is in line with the 40% operating income growth posted in Q3 of 2021. Additionally, the sales growth estimate of 30% is just above the 29% adjusted sales growth in Q3 2021 excluding sales to Investees.</p><p>The 39% earnings growth expected for 2022 appears to be at material risk of being too high given the rapid slowdown in operating income to 40% in Q3 2021 compared to 266% through the first nine months of the year. This trajectory would likely place earnings growth for 2022 well below 39%.</p><p>The 30% sales growth estimate for 2022 looks to be achievable given Palantir’s aggressive investment strategy in regard to Investees who then purchase Palantir software. I believe the market will tend to discount Investee sales as I have. Excluding these sales, the revenue growth trajectory appears to be trending closer to 20% than 30% for 2022, which opens the door to further growth disappointment.</p><p>Looking to consensus estimates for 2023, the expected growth rates are remarkably similar to 2022. This straight-line growth forecast through 2023 adds to the risk that consensus estimates could be too high over the coming years. The current trajectory points to growth materially below that expected for 2022 and 2023.</p><p><b>Valuation</b></p><p>Palantir is trading at 87x the consensus earnings estimate for 2021 and 62x that for 2022. Please keep in mind that these are non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) earnings estimates. On a GAAP basis, Palantir continues to produce at a loss. The reported loss in Q3 2021 was $92 million and was $352 million through the first nine months of 2021.</p><p>Using the non-GAAP earnings estimates, 87x current year earnings and 62x forward earnings are extreme valuations from a historical market perspective. That said, they are within the realm of possibility for a growth stock in recent years. When viewed against Palantir’s rapidly slowing sales and operating income growth rates, as well as the heightened risk that consensus estimates may be too high, the current valuation multiples on consensus estimates offer little margin for error.</p><p>On the sales front, Palantir is valued at 17x the consensus 2021 revenue estimate and 13x that for 2022. These are extreme price-to-sales multiples for a large-cap company from a historical perspective. My estimate of core sales growth trending toward 20% excluding Investee revenue suggests that these valuation multiples on sales also offer little margin for error.</p><p>The valuation risks are further elevated when combined with the rapidly slowing operating income growth. Furthermore, as can be seen in my adjusted gross margin figure growing at 25% as of Q3 2021, the Palantir business model may not be supportive of a historically extreme price-to-sales valuation.</p><p><b>Technicals</b></p><p>While the fundamental backdrop points toward little margin for error and subdued excess return potential, the technical setup suggests more meaningful upside return potential. The following 3-year weekly chart offers a bird’s eye view of the potential technical return spectrum. I have highlighted the key resistance levels with orange horizontal lines and the primary support level with a green line.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e9aaa4f2a36fa507e420c9353d0cd91c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"372\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Palantir 3-year weekly chart. (Created by Brian Kapp using a chart from Barchart.com)</span></p><p>The return potential to the nearest resistance levels of $19 and $22 is 43% and 65%, respectively. On the downside, the nearest support lies at the IPO price range near $10. The downside return potential to this level is -25%. It should be noted that Palantir’s short trading history of 16 months limits the usefulness of technical analysis. Additionally, with no trading history beneath the IPO price, it is unclear where support will be found if the $10 level is breached to the downside.</p><p>To estimate downside potential beneath $10, I apply an earnings multiple of 40x the 2022 non-GAAP consensus earnings estimate. This valuation is twice that of the current market averages and would place Palantir shares at $8. This represents -40% downside risk from current levels.</p><p>If the 39% consensus earnings estimate for 2022 is too high, further downside from $8 is in the realm of possibility. To estimate the downside risk potential if estimates are too high, I apply the same 40x non-GAAP earnings to my estimate of Palantir’s current annual run rate for fully-taxed, non-GAAP profitability. If earnings growth comes in at 25% for 2022 (my estimate of adjusted gross profit growth as of Q3 2021) on top of my estimate of $.12 for the current annual run rate of adjusted earnings after tax, the shares could trade down to $6. This would represent downside risk of -55%.</p><p>The following daily chart provides a closer look at the technical backdrop.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa32fdab79f60368696ab122ff81b60a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"372\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>The technical picture suggests heavy resistance between $19 and $22. Given the unrelenting downtrend over the past three months, a near-term bounce is likely. That said, the upside technical potential combined with the downside fundamental potential leaves the shares with a balanced potential return spectrum of 65% to -55% over the near term.</p><p><b>Summary</b></p><p>All told, Palantir should be placed on the watchlist for high-risk growth investors. The long-term opportunity lies in becoming a foundational enterprise operating system capable of integrating structured and unstructured data for real-time intelligence. However, with notable red flags in the mix, caution is in order. The primary red flags include slowing sales, an unusual go-to-market shift, rapidly decelerating profitability, and an elevated valuation which offers limited margin for error. The resulting symmetry between risk and reward results in a neutral rating.</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: Red Flag Or Opportunity?</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: Red Flag Or Opportunity?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-02-05 11:51 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4484295-palantir-red-flag-or-opportunity><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryPalantir has only 203 total customers as of Q3 2021, while just 20 of those customers account for 58% of total revenue.Revenue growth in Palantir’s core client cohort slowed to 20% annualized ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4484295-palantir-red-flag-or-opportunity\">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/4484295-palantir-red-flag-or-opportunity","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1196927717","content_text":"SummaryPalantir has only 203 total customers as of Q3 2021, while just 20 of those customers account for 58% of total revenue.Revenue growth in Palantir’s core client cohort slowed to 20% annualized through the first three quarters of 2021 compared to 2020.During 2021, Palantir fundamentally transformed its go-to-market strategy. The company is now using its cash to aggressively invest in other companies (Investees) who agree to purchase Palantir’s software.Management continues to guide for 30% sales growth through mid-decade. However, Palantir’s 3-phase business model hints at sales trending lower excluding its Investee sales.Palantir offers extraordinary long-term growth potential which should place it on the watchlist of all growth investors. The investment case rests on the fulcrum between opportunity and red flags.agawa288/iStock via Getty ImagesI am assigning Palantir (NYSE:PLTR) a neutral risk/reward rating as the long-term growth opportunity is counterbalanced by near-term red flags. The long-term opportunity lies in becoming a foundational enterprise operating system capable of integrating structured and unstructured data for real-time intelligence. However, a number of notable red flags warrant caution. The primary red flags include slowing sales, an unusual go-to-market shift, rapidly decelerating profitability, and an elevated valuation which offers limited margin for error.Risk/Reward Rating: NeutralPalantir has an unusual business model compared to its peers in the enterprise software sector in regard to how it acquires and grows its customer base. The company categorizes its customers according to three phases of development or cohorts: (1) Acquire, (2) Expand, and (3) Scale. While they are generic terms that are applicable to all businesses, they are unique in the case of Palantir due to how the company approaches its customers.Customer DetailPalantir defines a customer in the Acquire cohort as one that has generated less than $100,000 of revenue as of year-end while being unprofitable to Palantir. The Expand cohort is characterized by a customer that generated more than $100,000 of sales yet remained unprofitable. Finally, the Scale cohort is defined as a customer that has generated more than $100,000 of revenue while being a profitable relationship for Palantir during the year.The following tables were compiled from Palantir’s Q3 2021 10-Q filed with the SEC. The first table displays Palantir’s 2020 sales from each of the client cohorts which were categorized at the end of 2020 (2020 Revenue). In the 2021 Annualized column, you will find the sales of each of these 2020 customer cohorts through Q3 2021 annualized. In the second set of tables, I have compiled key details regarding Palantir’s largest customers over the past twelve months, as well as critical details pertaining to customers that are new to Palantir in 2021 which are not yet assigned to a cohort. Cohort categorization occurs at the end of each year.Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdoxSource: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdoxFor ease of comparison, I have color-coded the information that is related. One of the dominant realities for Palantir is its concentrated customer base, which is highlighted in blue. Palantir has only 203 customers, with the top 20 accounting for 58% of sales.By definition, Palantir’s largest customers are in the Scale cohort. Through the first three quarters of 2021, the Scale cohort (categorized as such at the end of 2020) is growing at an annualized rate of 20%. Given that this group accounts for 86% of Palantir’s revenue, it will be challenging to move the sales growth needle materially above 20% without explosive growth from the other two cohorts or a material acceleration from the Scale cohort. It should be noted that management is guiding to 30% annual sales growth through mid-decade.The 2020 year-end Acquire and Expand cohorts are highlighted in yellow in the upper table. New customers in 2021 will not be assigned to a cohort until the year-end Palantir report. I have highlighted the pertinent 2021 new customer data in yellow for easy comparison to the 2020 Acquire and Expand customer cohorts. I view the 2021 new customer sales performance excluding sales to Investees to be a sustainable core growth rate. The Investee customer acquisition strategy is extraordinarily unusual and carries an exceedingly high capital risk which introduces reputational and, therefore, brand risk.Please note that Investee here refers to customers that Palantir has purchased the stock of in return for the Investee using Palantir’s software. Meaning, the revenue from Investees is a reciprocation of Palantir investing in the shares of these customers. In this respect, these are not arm’s-length transactions. I believe the new client numbers excluding sales to Investees is an important data point for ascertaining a purely market-based new customer growth rate.Similar to the Scale cohort growth rate annualizing at 20% in 2021, the new customer sales growth rate is annualizing at 22% through Q3 2021 compared to the $20.6 million of sales from the Acquire and Expand cohorts of 2020. While this is not a perfect comparison for sales growth from new customers, it is a fair estimation. As a result, Palantir appears to be trending toward an underlying sales growth rate closer to 20% than the company’s 30% sales growth guidance through mid-decade.InvesteesIt is important to step back and review Palantir’s investments in Investees as this is an extraordinarily unusual go-to-market strategy for customer acquisition. The above numbers, which suggest revenue growth is trending toward 20%, place Palantir’s use of its balance sheet cash to fund new customers in a new light. The following tables were compiled from Palantir’s Q3 2021 10-Q. The first table lists companies that Palantir has funded as of the end of Q3 2021. The second table displays Palantir’s investment commitments to new companies that are not yet funded.Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdoxI have conducted a cursory review of each of the above companies. The common theme is that they are all early-stage companies in the most popular growth sectors. These sectors include EVs, robotics, flying electric vehicles, satellite services and drug discovery. None of the Investees appears to offer enough appreciation potential in its own right to move the needle materially for Palantir’s valuation. Palantir’s ownership stake ranges from 0.4% to 1.6%.It remains unclear how much of each company’s funding can be spent on Palantir’s software. Furthermore, it is not clear if the $19 million of revenue through Q3 2021 from these companies is sustainable.I have highlighted in blue Palantir’s total investment of $150 million in the seven companies. The yellow highlighted cell represents the current valuation of the investments. Palantir is now down approximately $64 million on these seven companies alone. This highlights an extreme risk for this method of customer acquisition as the capital losses to date dwarf the revenue generated. There are other private company investments not listed above, however, Palantir does not break out the details. They are included in other assets on Palantir’s balance sheet which amounted to $116 million as of Q3 2021.The following table displays Palantir’s commitments to invest in new companies as of Q3 2021. I have highlighted in yellow the two companies that Palantir funded subsequent to the end of Q3 2021.Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdoxI have highlighted in blue the total funding commitment for new investments as of Q3 2021. This is $252 million on top of the $150 million completed prior to the end of Q3. While I have not looked into these particular companies, they appear similar to the first seven investments reviewed above. Meaning, they appear to carry extreme capital risk with upside potential that is likely to be minimal when compared to the valuation upside inherent in Palantir’s software business. It should be noted that recent valuations were extreme and continue to contract rapidly. As a result, the timing risk for capital loss is also heightened by making the investments at the top of the VC/IPO cycle.Financial PerformanceTurning to Palantir’s recent performance, I have chosen to view sales growth excluding the Investees as this is the most likely sustainable growth trajectory. The following table was compiled from Palantir’s Q3 2021 10-Q filed with the SEC. I made an adjustment by removing Investee revenue to arrive at a net revenue figure.Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdoxI have highlighted in yellow the 29% revenue growth in Q3 2021 after removing the Investee revenue. Investees added 6.5% to growth in Q3. Year-to-date, the Investee revenue accounted for 1.7% revenue growth. The 29% growth rate is already decelerating beneath the company’s 30% growth guidance through mid-decade. Keep in mind that the Investee revenue stream will grow with additional funding of Palantir’s investment commitments. Regardless, growth is decelerating rapidly at 29% in Q3 compared to 41% year-to-date excluding these non-arm’s-length sales.Geographic & Segment SalesThe sales slowdown is being led by France, which contracted 22% through the first three quarters of 2021 (highlighted in orange below). It should be noted that Palantir has had a material relationship with Airbus and the airline industry. This could be a negative read through for an important client and industry. While the US remained the best performer in Q3 2021, growth is slowing rapidly as is evidenced by the blue highlighted cells below. The table was compiled from Palantir’s Q3 2021 10-Q filed with the SEC.Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdoxIn addition to France, the rest of the world is also slowing rapidly, from 45% through the first nine months of the year to 20% in Q3 2021. Please note that these are reported sales without any adjustments. The following table was compiled from the same SEC filing and highlights that the large sales slowdown in Q3 occurred in the Government segment. Please keep in mind that the Investee revenue is included in the figures below and added approximately 6.5% to the Q3 growth rate in the Commercial segment.Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdoxIn summary, the Commercial segment is growing revenue rather steadily, approximately 29% excluding the Investee revenue. However, the Government segment is decelerating rapidly, from 57% through the first nine months of 2021 to 34% in Q3.Gross Profit & KPIPalantir’s unusual customer acquisition strategy predates the shift to Investees. The company’s sales and marketing expenses appear to be quite similar to the cost of goods sold for other companies. This is the case because Palantir offers prospective customers free pilot programs as opposed to requiring payment upfront for use of its software. Sales and marketing personnel execute the pilot programs and coordinate solution development in order to generate sales. The following quote from the Q3 2021 10-Q summarizes the situation:Sales and marketing costs primarily include salaries, stock-based compensation expense, and benefits for our sales force and personnel involved in executing on pilots and customer growth activities...As a result, I view the sales and marketing expense in the case of Palantir to be a cost of goods sold and reduction to gross margin. While this categorization does not affect the bottom line, it does serve to place the reported 78% gross margin in context.I believe this perspective on sales and marketing expense is helpful in thinking about Palantir’s business model in relation to other companies and relative valuations that rely on gross profit margins. The following table was compiled from Palantir’s Q3 2021 10-Q and displays the reported cost of revenue and sales and marketing expense adjusted by removing the related stock-based compensation expense from each line item.Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdoxNotice that the adjusted gross profit growth has slowed considerably to 25% in Q3 (highlighted in blue in the lower portion of the table) compared to 59% through the first nine months of 2021 (highlighted in yellow). The cost of sales is rising rapidly in Q3 2021 compared to the first nine months of the year.Palantir utilizes one KPI or Key Performance Indicator to judge performance and inform decision-making, which is referred to as Contribution Margin. It is similar to my adjusted gross margin figure above as can be seen in the following table compiled from Palantir’s Q3 2021 10-Q.Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdoxNotice that the contribution row is remarkably similar to my adjusted gross profit row in the previous table. Additionally, the growth rate deceleration is similar, as can be seen in the highlighted cells. While 37% is materially different from my estimate of 25% growth, the step change lower from 64% is of similar amplitude.Operating IncomeTurning to operating income, I have adjusted the reported figures once again by removing stock option-related expenses as well as one-off expenses pertaining to the direct listing IPO in 2020. The overriding message is once again one of rapid deceleration. The following table was compiled from the same SEC filing and displays operating expenses excluding sales and marketing expenses, as well as my adjusted operating income estimate.Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdoxIn the lower section of the table, notice the incredible deceleration in adjusted operating income to 40% growth in Q3 of 2021 compared to 266% growth through the first nine months of the year. General and administrative expenses accelerated rapidly in Q3 2021, while Palantir materially reduced research and development investment to just 5% growth in Q3.The research and development investment slowdown could be a negative read through for sales growth as R&D is an integral part of the sales process. Research and development expenses should track the sales cycle through the three customer phases: Acquire, Expand, and Scale. As customer needs are identified by sales and marketing, research and development expenses should respond to increased future sales potential. This does not appear to be happening at the moment.As of Q3 2021, Palantir is annualizing at an adjusted operating income run rate of approximately $300 to $320 million, or about $.16 per share. This is a before-tax operating income figure. The primary takeaway from the operating income front is that profitability is slowing rapidly. This provides additional color for the unusual Investee customer acquisition strategy being deployed.Consensus Growth EstimatesIf Palantir is producing at a $320 million adjusted annual operating income run rate and it was taxed at a normalized 25% rate, the current earnings power would be in the $240 million range or $.12 per diluted share. With this information and the growth deceleration outlined above, we can begin to put consensus earnings estimates into context. The following table was compiled from Seeking Alpha and displays consensus earnings and revenue estimates through 2023.Source: Seeking Alpha. Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdoxI have highlighted the 2022 consensus estimates for earnings and sales growth. Notice that the 39% consensus earnings growth estimate for 2022 is in line with the 40% operating income growth posted in Q3 of 2021. Additionally, the sales growth estimate of 30% is just above the 29% adjusted sales growth in Q3 2021 excluding sales to Investees.The 39% earnings growth expected for 2022 appears to be at material risk of being too high given the rapid slowdown in operating income to 40% in Q3 2021 compared to 266% through the first nine months of the year. This trajectory would likely place earnings growth for 2022 well below 39%.The 30% sales growth estimate for 2022 looks to be achievable given Palantir’s aggressive investment strategy in regard to Investees who then purchase Palantir software. I believe the market will tend to discount Investee sales as I have. Excluding these sales, the revenue growth trajectory appears to be trending closer to 20% than 30% for 2022, which opens the door to further growth disappointment.Looking to consensus estimates for 2023, the expected growth rates are remarkably similar to 2022. This straight-line growth forecast through 2023 adds to the risk that consensus estimates could be too high over the coming years. The current trajectory points to growth materially below that expected for 2022 and 2023.ValuationPalantir is trading at 87x the consensus earnings estimate for 2021 and 62x that for 2022. Please keep in mind that these are non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) earnings estimates. On a GAAP basis, Palantir continues to produce at a loss. The reported loss in Q3 2021 was $92 million and was $352 million through the first nine months of 2021.Using the non-GAAP earnings estimates, 87x current year earnings and 62x forward earnings are extreme valuations from a historical market perspective. That said, they are within the realm of possibility for a growth stock in recent years. When viewed against Palantir’s rapidly slowing sales and operating income growth rates, as well as the heightened risk that consensus estimates may be too high, the current valuation multiples on consensus estimates offer little margin for error.On the sales front, Palantir is valued at 17x the consensus 2021 revenue estimate and 13x that for 2022. These are extreme price-to-sales multiples for a large-cap company from a historical perspective. My estimate of core sales growth trending toward 20% excluding Investee revenue suggests that these valuation multiples on sales also offer little margin for error.The valuation risks are further elevated when combined with the rapidly slowing operating income growth. Furthermore, as can be seen in my adjusted gross margin figure growing at 25% as of Q3 2021, the Palantir business model may not be supportive of a historically extreme price-to-sales valuation.TechnicalsWhile the fundamental backdrop points toward little margin for error and subdued excess return potential, the technical setup suggests more meaningful upside return potential. The following 3-year weekly chart offers a bird’s eye view of the potential technical return spectrum. I have highlighted the key resistance levels with orange horizontal lines and the primary support level with a green line.Palantir 3-year weekly chart. (Created by Brian Kapp using a chart from Barchart.com)The return potential to the nearest resistance levels of $19 and $22 is 43% and 65%, respectively. On the downside, the nearest support lies at the IPO price range near $10. The downside return potential to this level is -25%. It should be noted that Palantir’s short trading history of 16 months limits the usefulness of technical analysis. Additionally, with no trading history beneath the IPO price, it is unclear where support will be found if the $10 level is breached to the downside.To estimate downside potential beneath $10, I apply an earnings multiple of 40x the 2022 non-GAAP consensus earnings estimate. This valuation is twice that of the current market averages and would place Palantir shares at $8. This represents -40% downside risk from current levels.If the 39% consensus earnings estimate for 2022 is too high, further downside from $8 is in the realm of possibility. To estimate the downside risk potential if estimates are too high, I apply the same 40x non-GAAP earnings to my estimate of Palantir’s current annual run rate for fully-taxed, non-GAAP profitability. If earnings growth comes in at 25% for 2022 (my estimate of adjusted gross profit growth as of Q3 2021) on top of my estimate of $.12 for the current annual run rate of adjusted earnings after tax, the shares could trade down to $6. This would represent downside risk of -55%.The following daily chart provides a closer look at the technical backdrop.The technical picture suggests heavy resistance between $19 and $22. Given the unrelenting downtrend over the past three months, a near-term bounce is likely. That said, the upside technical potential combined with the downside fundamental potential leaves the shares with a balanced potential return spectrum of 65% to -55% over the near term.SummaryAll told, Palantir should be placed on the watchlist for high-risk growth investors. The long-term opportunity lies in becoming a foundational enterprise operating system capable of integrating structured and unstructured data for real-time intelligence. However, with notable red flags in the mix, caution is in order. The primary red flags include slowing sales, an unusual go-to-market shift, rapidly decelerating profitability, and an elevated valuation which offers limited margin for error. The resulting symmetry between risk and reward results in a neutral rating.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":90,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
