(NYSE:PLTR), some investors might ask themselves if there is an opportunity to get the stock while it is down some 50% from the last three months. In this article, we attempt to better understand the business and estimate the fundamental worth of the company. This can allow us to evaluate if Palantir is more appropriate for trading or long term investing.</p><h2>The State Of The Business</h2><p>Palantir is sitting on the crossroads between developing for government and commercial clients. The company has about 203 clients (p. 27) in total, and has potentially realized that it may not be able to sustain high client growth in the government sector.</p><p>Currently, they seem to be pushing sales into the commercial sector in order to offset the mentioned declining growth. It seems that finding a niche in the commercial sector will be somewhat more difficult for Palantir, as this sector competes with every other data analytic platform, while on the government side, Palantir may be privy and able to develop restricted technologies. While Palantir offers a valuable analytics platform that integrates with services such as SAP, CRM etc., this field is rapidly evolving, and the said companies are creating their in-house solutions in order to drive off competitors like Palantir and improve their own profitability.</p><p>In order for Palantir to have an edge into this landscape, they must develop high performing proprietary technology that will shield it from competition, while at the moment, their services also rely on public domain statistical technology such as multiple logistic regressions, significance tests, classification models paired with vision AI, etc.</p><p>While it may seem that I am critical of the company, it is not quite true, a heavy use of analytics will drive talent to the company and there is good reason to suspect that they will actually develop the proprietary tech that stands out from the competition. I think that the company is a prime candidate to achieve this, however I don&#39;t feel that they are there yet.</p><h2>The Services</h2><p>Palantir is a bit of a black box for people that have never worked with data analytics, and the company seems to have designed itself to be vague about what it does. One can suspect, that if they explained it in plain words, that they would put their market cap at risk. That is also why we see some heavy visual effects on their promotional videos, and they seem to be targeted at government officials or retail investors that may not be able to distinguish between functionalities of the service and video cosmetics.</p><p>In their latest filing (p. 22), we see that the split between services from government and commercial revenue is 59% to 41%, respectively for the last 9 months ending in Q3 2021.</p><p>As far as services go, Palantir has currently 3 main platforms:</p><p>Foundry - The main analytics service offered commercially</p><p>Gotham - The main analytics service offered to governments</p><p>Apollo - Allows software developers to continuously deploy and update their software that needs to need government security checks such as Europe&#39;s GDPR</p><p>The main approach that Palantir has in developing these analytics platforms is a bold one, especially in the world of &#34;Big Data&#34;. While most platforms prioritize full automatization of machine learning solutions and delivering them via APIs, Palantir seems to prioritize the hybrid approach, where an analyst monitors data and makes sure to act on relevant events. This is more costly than automated analytics, but seems to magnify quality value for clients that overshadows the costs and risk of human error.</p><p>As you can see, I feel that Palantir has a lot to improve and develop, however it already has a foothold in the technology, and is one of the companies that has a good chance to stay ahead in the race.</p><p>I would add, that the main risk I see for the company, are rapid and public technological shifts that will decrease margins and be utilized by competitors.</p><p>In essence, Palantir is a young company (still), that has the potential to deliver high cash flows for investors in the future, but the future seems to be a bit further than one may expect.</p><p>With that, let&#39;s move on to the fundamentals, and see what this means for the stock.</p><h2>Fundamental Overview</h2><p>Shareholders of unprofitable companies usually expect strong revenue growth. Palantir Technologies grew its revenue by 41% over the last year, which is a great performance for a young growth company, but may be too early to be valued via sales multiples.</p><p>The company also has a gross margin of 78%, and positive free cash flows of US$321m. The high gross margin means that the software solutions are cheap (not easy) to distribute, while the company can use the rest to push for more sales and development. The free cash flows are also a validation of the business model and give honest signals that profit should converge up to cash flows and the company has lower risk of bankruptcy. This also allows the company to borrow money while not being profitable yet, and invest the funds into the business.</p><p>The graphic below depicts how earnings and revenue have changed over time (unveil the exact values by clicking on the image).</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0590065773b8bc5c84d887566976270a\" tg-width=\"821\" tg-height=\"524\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>NYSE:PLTR Earnings and Revenue Growth February 23rd 2022</span></p><p>Ultimately, all these figures need to be tied together in a way that helps investors make decisions.</p><p>One way to do that, is to construct a valuation model. The Simply Wall St discounted cash flow model attempts to value the future cash flows in a rough way - the estimates are hard to get right with young companies, so take it with a grain of salt. The intrinsic value comes up to about US$30.7b today, or $15.3 per share - undervalued some 31.6% from the current $10.48 per share.</p><p>Having a potentially undervalued stock, does not automatically mean that the price will jump to value anytime soon. Markets have a mind of their own, and it may take a long time (if ever) before the 2 values converge.</p><p>We should always consider market factors that may impact price swings, such as:</p><ul><li>Depressed market mood, partly resulting from an expected economy contraction</li><li>Prioritizing other investments that are more resistant to expected inflation</li><li>Reduction of liquidity in equity markets</li><li>A price jump resulting from the demand for security services due to a developing geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe and South Asia</li></ul><p>What I hoped to illustrate, is that volatility is still expected to be high, and the stock is still high risk due to it being in its early growth stage. This can be great for short term traders or investors that are willing to hold through volatility for a longer period.</p><p>Being part of the software side of the defense industry can also offer investors some diversification benefits, as companies like this are rare.</p><p>Key Takeaways</p><p>Palantir&#39;s business seems to be a black box by design, which staves off competitors and can intrigue retail investors. The necessary growth avenue for the company is the commercial sector, which is also the largest portion that is at risk of competition.</p><p>The stock seems to be undervalued, however the pace of change in technology and current market sentiment do not necessarily make it a good investment. Alternatively, seasoned traders can exploit price movements by attempting to predict catalyst events in the near future.</p><p>The company has real potential to develop into a differentiated analytics platform for enterprise level companies that have ties to, or must meet, heavy government regulations.</p><p>The stock also offers some diversification qualities as it focuses on the software and analytics side of defense systems.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1616055508394","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>Unboxing Palantir Technologies - the Business, the Risks, and The Value</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\">\nUnboxing Palantir Technologies - the Business, the Risks, and The Value\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-02-25 09:20 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://simplywall.st/stocks/us/software/nyse-pltr/palantir-technologies/news/unboxing-palantir-technologies-nysepltr-the-business-the-ris><strong>Simply Wall St.</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Looking at Palantir Technologies Inc.

Yet, as we have noted this week, almost all the gains generated for the S&amp;P 500 and the Nasdaq are from a few mega-cap tech stocks. The tech-heavy Nasdaq is still up a strong 14.33%, while the old-school Dow Jones industrial average is flat year to date. That disparity should be tantalizing for concerned investors.</p><p>With more banks failing, and interest rates still rising (the Federal Reserve lifted the federal funds rate on Wednesday to 5.00% to 5.25%, the highest level in 17 years), many investors are getting nervous, and rightfully so.

Yet, as we have noted this week, almost all the gains generated for the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq are from a few mega-cap tech stocks. The tech-heavy Nasdaq is still up a strong 14.33%, while the old-school Dow Jones industrial average is flat year to date. That disparity should be tantalizing for concerned investors.With more banks failing, and interest rates still rising (the Federal Reserve lifted the federal funds rate on Wednesday to 5.00% to 5.25%, the highest level in 17 years), many investors are getting nervous, and rightfully so. With the bank issues and the debt limit ceiling about to be reached by June, it is time to take profits on the mega-cap winners and move to safer old-school stocks that can survive a downturn in the economy.We screened the venerable Dow Jones industrials looking for the best values and companies that paid dependable dividends. The following five top stocks hit our screen, and all are rated Buy across Wall Street. It is important to remember that no single analyst report should be used as a sole basis for any buying or selling decision.AmgenThis biotech giant remains a safer way to play the massive potential growth in biosimilars. Amgen Inc. (NASDAQ: AMGN) discovers, develops, manufactures and delivers human therapeutics worldwide. It focuses on inflammation, oncology/hematology, bone health, cardiovascular disease, nephrology and neuroscience.The company’s products include:Enbrel to treat plaque psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritisNeulasta reduces the chance of infection due to a low white blood cell count in patients with cancerProlia to treat postmenopausal women with osteoporosisXgeva for skeletal-related events preventionOtezla for the treatment of adult patients with plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis and oral ulcers associated with Behcet’s diseaseAranesp to treat a lower-than-normal number of red blood cells and anemiaKyprolis to treat patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myelomaRepatha, which reduces the risks of myocardial infarction, stroke and coronary revascularizationShareholders receive a 3.61% dividend. Goldman Sachs has a $290 target price on Amgen stock. The consensus target is just $256.57.ChevronThis integrated giant is a safer way for investors looking to get positioned in the energy sector, and the shares have backed up nicely. Chevron Corp. engages in integrated energy and chemicals operations worldwide. The company operates in two segments.Chevron’s Upstream segment is involved in the exploration, development, production and transportation of crude oil and natural gas; processing, liquefaction, transportation and regasification associated with liquefied natural gas; transportation of crude oil through pipelines; and transportation, storage and marketing of natural gas. It also operates a gas-to-liquids plant.The Downstream segment engages in refining crude oil into petroleum products; marketing crude oil, refined products and lubricants; manufacturing and marketing of renewable fuels; transporting crude oil and refined products by pipeline, marine vessel, motor equipment and rail car; and manufacturing and marketing of commodity petrochemicals, plastics for industrial uses, and fuel and lubricant additives. It is also involved in the cash management and debt financing activities; insurance operations, real estate activities and technology businesses.Chevron posted stellar first-quarter results and remains one of the best ways to play energy safely.The company sports a 3.77% dividend. Raymond James has its target price set at $208. Chevron stock has a consensus target of $191.96.Home DepotThis remains the undisputed leader in the home improvement retail category. Home Depot Inc. (HD) is the world’s largest home improvement specialty retailer, with 2,270 retail stores in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, 10 Canadian provinces and Mexico.Home Depot stores sell various building materials, home improvement products, and lawn and garden products, as well as provide installation, home maintenance and professional service programs to do-it-yourself, do-it-for-me and professional customers.Shares of Home Depot make sense for investors looking for a retail idea that stays in favor all year long. The home improvement giant is a solid addition to growth and income portfolios.Investors receive a 2.81% dividend. Cowen’s $360 price target is well above the $325.88 consensus target.VerizonThis top telecommunications stock offers tremendous value at current levels. Verizon Communications Inc. provides communications, technology, information and entertainment products and services to consumers, businesses and governmental entities worldwide.The Verizon Consumer Group provides wireless services across the wireless networks in the United States under the Verizon and TracFone brands and through wholesale and other arrangements, and it offers fixed wireless access (FWA) broadband through its wireless networks. It also offers wireline services in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern United States, as well as the District of Columbia, through its fiber-optic network, Verizon Fios product portfolio and a copper-based network.The Verizon Business Group provides wireless and wireline communications services and products, including data, video, conferencing, corporate networking, security and managed network, local and long-distance voice, network access, and various IoT services and products, as well as FWA broadband through its wireless networks.Verizon Communications stock comes with a 6.87% dividend. The $49 Cowen target price compares with a consensus target of $43.79 and Thursday’s $37.35 closing share price.WalgreensThis huge drugstore chain operator is a safe retail play for investors looking to add health care now, and it trades at a cheap 7.5 times 2023 earnings expectations.

(NYSE:PLTR), some investors might ask themselves if there is an opportunity to get the stock while it is down some 50% from the last three months. In this article, we attempt to better understand the business and estimate the fundamental worth of the company. This can allow us to evaluate if Palantir is more appropriate for trading or long term investing.</p><h2>The State Of The Business</h2><p>Palantir is sitting on the crossroads between developing for government and commercial clients. The company has about 203 clients (p. 27) in total, and has potentially realized that it may not be able to sustain high client growth in the government sector.</p><p>Currently, they seem to be pushing sales into the commercial sector in order to offset the mentioned declining growth. It seems that finding a niche in the commercial sector will be somewhat more difficult for Palantir, as this sector competes with every other data analytic platform, while on the government side, Palantir may be privy and able to develop restricted technologies. While Palantir offers a valuable analytics platform that integrates with services such as SAP, CRM etc., this field is rapidly evolving, and the said companies are creating their in-house solutions in order to drive off competitors like Palantir and improve their own profitability.</p><p>In order for Palantir to have an edge into this landscape, they must develop high performing proprietary technology that will shield it from competition, while at the moment, their services also rely on public domain statistical technology such as multiple logistic regressions, significance tests, classification models paired with vision AI, etc.</p><p>While it may seem that I am critical of the company, it is not quite true, a heavy use of analytics will drive talent to the company and there is good reason to suspect that they will actually develop the proprietary tech that stands out from the competition. I think that the company is a prime candidate to achieve this, however I don&#39;t feel that they are there yet.</p><h2>The Services</h2><p>Palantir is a bit of a black box for people that have never worked with data analytics, and the company seems to have designed itself to be vague about what it does. One can suspect, that if they explained it in plain words, that they would put their market cap at risk. That is also why we see some heavy visual effects on their promotional videos, and they seem to be targeted at government officials or retail investors that may not be able to distinguish between functionalities of the service and video cosmetics.</p><p>In their latest filing (p. 22), we see that the split between services from government and commercial revenue is 59% to 41%, respectively for the last 9 months ending in Q3 2021.</p><p>As far as services go, Palantir has currently 3 main platforms:</p><p>Foundry - The main analytics service offered commercially</p><p>Gotham - The main analytics service offered to governments</p><p>Apollo - Allows software developers to continuously deploy and update their software that needs to need government security checks such as Europe&#39;s GDPR</p><p>The main approach that Palantir has in developing these analytics platforms is a bold one, especially in the world of &#34;Big Data&#34;. While most platforms prioritize full automatization of machine learning solutions and delivering them via APIs, Palantir seems to prioritize the hybrid approach, where an analyst monitors data and makes sure to act on relevant events. This is more costly than automated analytics, but seems to magnify quality value for clients that overshadows the costs and risk of human error.</p><p>As you can see, I feel that Palantir has a lot to improve and develop, however it already has a foothold in the technology, and is one of the companies that has a good chance to stay ahead in the race.</p><p>I would add, that the main risk I see for the company, are rapid and public technological shifts that will decrease margins and be utilized by competitors.</p><p>In essence, Palantir is a young company (still), that has the potential to deliver high cash flows for investors in the future, but the future seems to be a bit further than one may expect.</p><p>With that, let&#39;s move on to the fundamentals, and see what this means for the stock.</p><h2>Fundamental Overview</h2><p>Shareholders of unprofitable companies usually expect strong revenue growth. Palantir Technologies grew its revenue by 41% over the last year, which is a great performance for a young growth company, but may be too early to be valued via sales multiples.</p><p>The company also has a gross margin of 78%, and positive free cash flows of US$321m. The high gross margin means that the software solutions are cheap (not easy) to distribute, while the company can use the rest to push for more sales and development. The free cash flows are also a validation of the business model and give honest signals that profit should converge up to cash flows and the company has lower risk of bankruptcy. This also allows the company to borrow money while not being profitable yet, and invest the funds into the business.</p><p>The graphic below depicts how earnings and revenue have changed over time (unveil the exact values by clicking on the image).</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0590065773b8bc5c84d887566976270a\" tg-width=\"821\" tg-height=\"524\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>NYSE:PLTR Earnings and Revenue Growth February 23rd 2022</span></p><p>Ultimately, all these figures need to be tied together in a way that helps investors make decisions.</p><p>One way to do that, is to construct a valuation model. The Simply Wall St discounted cash flow model attempts to value the future cash flows in a rough way - the estimates are hard to get right with young companies, so take it with a grain of salt. The intrinsic value comes up to about US$30.7b today, or $15.3 per share - undervalued some 31.6% from the current $10.48 per share.</p><p>Having a potentially undervalued stock, does not automatically mean that the price will jump to value anytime soon. Markets have a mind of their own, and it may take a long time (if ever) before the 2 values converge.</p><p>We should always consider market factors that may impact price swings, such as:</p><ul><li>Depressed market mood, partly resulting from an expected economy contraction</li><li>Prioritizing other investments that are more resistant to expected inflation</li><li>Reduction of liquidity in equity markets</li><li>A price jump resulting from the demand for security services due to a developing geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe and South Asia</li></ul><p>What I hoped to illustrate, is that volatility is still expected to be high, and the stock is still high risk due to it being in its early growth stage. This can be great for short term traders or investors that are willing to hold through volatility for a longer period.</p><p>Being part of the software side of the defense industry can also offer investors some diversification benefits, as companies like this are rare.</p><p>Key Takeaways</p><p>Palantir&#39;s business seems to be a black box by design, which staves off competitors and can intrigue retail investors. The necessary growth avenue for the company is the commercial sector, which is also the largest portion that is at risk of competition.</p><p>The stock seems to be undervalued, however the pace of change in technology and current market sentiment do not necessarily make it a good investment. Alternatively, seasoned traders can exploit price movements by attempting to predict catalyst events in the near future.</p><p>The company has real potential to develop into a differentiated analytics platform for enterprise level companies that have ties to, or must meet, heavy government regulations.</p><p>The stock also offers some diversification qualities as it focuses on the software and analytics side of defense systems.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1616055508394","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>Unboxing Palantir Technologies - the Business, the Risks, and The Value</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\">\nUnboxing Palantir Technologies - the Business, the Risks, and The Value\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-02-25 09:20 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://simplywall.st/stocks/us/software/nyse-pltr/palantir-technologies/news/unboxing-palantir-technologies-nysepltr-the-business-the-ris><strong>Simply Wall St.</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Looking at Palantir Technologies Inc.

While Palantir offers a valuable analytics platform that integrates with services such as SAP, CRM etc., this field is rapidly evolving, and the said companies are creating their in-house solutions in order to drive off competitors like Palantir and improve their own profitability.In order for Palantir to have an edge into this landscape, they must develop high performing proprietary technology that will shield it from competition, while at the moment, their services also rely on public domain statistical technology such as multiple logistic regressions, significance tests, classification models paired with vision AI, etc.While it may seem that I am critical of the company, it is not quite true, a heavy use of analytics will drive talent to the company and there is good reason to suspect that they will actually develop the proprietary tech that stands out from the competition. I think that the company is a prime candidate to achieve this, however I don't feel that they are there yet.The ServicesPalantir is a bit of a black box for people that have never worked with data analytics, and the company seems to have designed itself to be vague about what it does. One can suspect, that if they explained it in plain words, that they would put their market cap at risk. That is also why we see some heavy visual effects on their promotional videos, and they seem to be targeted at government officials or retail investors that may not be able to distinguish between functionalities of the service and video cosmetics.In their latest filing (p. 22), we see that the split between services from government and commercial revenue is 59% to 41%, respectively for the last 9 months ending in Q3 2021.As far as services go, Palantir has currently 3 main platforms:Foundry - The main analytics service offered commerciallyGotham - The main analytics service offered to governmentsApollo - Allows software developers to continuously deploy and update their software that needs to need government security checks such as Europe's GDPRThe main approach that Palantir has in developing these analytics platforms is a bold one, especially in the world of \"Big Data\". While most platforms prioritize full automatization of machine learning solutions and delivering them via APIs, Palantir seems to prioritize the hybrid approach, where an analyst monitors data and makes sure to act on relevant events. This is more costly than automated analytics, but seems to magnify quality value for clients that overshadows the costs and risk of human error.As you can see, I feel that Palantir has a lot to improve and develop, however it already has a foothold in the technology, and is one of the companies that has a good chance to stay ahead in the race.I would add, that the main risk I see for the company, are rapid and public technological shifts that will decrease margins and be utilized by competitors.In essence, Palantir is a young company (still), that has the potential to deliver high cash flows for investors in the future, but the future seems to be a bit further than one may expect.With that, let's move on to the fundamentals, and see what this means for the stock.Fundamental OverviewShareholders of unprofitable companies usually expect strong revenue growth. Palantir Technologies grew its revenue by 41% over the last year, which is a great performance for a young growth company, but may be too early to be valued via sales multiples.The company also has a gross margin of 78%, and positive free cash flows of US$321m. The high gross margin means that the software solutions are cheap (not easy) to distribute, while the company can use the rest to push for more sales and development. The free cash flows are also a validation of the business model and give honest signals that profit should converge up to cash flows and the company has lower risk of bankruptcy. This also allows the company to borrow money while not being profitable yet, and invest the funds into the business.The graphic below depicts how earnings and revenue have changed over time (unveil the exact values by clicking on the image).NYSE:PLTR Earnings and Revenue Growth February 23rd 2022Ultimately, all these figures need to be tied together in a way that helps investors make decisions.One way to do that, is to construct a valuation model. The Simply Wall St discounted cash flow model attempts to value the future cash flows in a rough way - the estimates are hard to get right with young companies, so take it with a grain of salt. The intrinsic value comes up to about US$30.7b today, or $15.3 per share - undervalued some 31.6% from the current $10.48 per share.Having a potentially undervalued stock, does not automatically mean that the price will jump to value anytime soon. Markets have a mind of their own, and it may take a long time (if ever) before the 2 values converge.We should always consider market factors that may impact price swings, such as:Depressed market mood, partly resulting from an expected economy contractionPrioritizing other investments that are more resistant to expected inflationReduction of liquidity in equity marketsA price jump resulting from the demand for security services due to a developing geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe and South AsiaWhat I hoped to illustrate, is that volatility is still expected to be high, and the stock is still high risk due to it being in its early growth stage. This can be great for short term traders or investors that are willing to hold through volatility for a longer period.Being part of the software side of the defense industry can also offer investors some diversification benefits, as companies like this are rare.Key TakeawaysPalantir's business seems to be a black box by design, which staves off competitors and can intrigue retail investors. The necessary growth avenue for the company is the commercial sector, which is also the largest portion that is at risk of competition.The stock seems to be undervalued, however the pace of change in technology and current market sentiment do not necessarily make it a good investment. Alternatively, seasoned traders can exploit price movements by attempting to predict catalyst events in the near future.The company has real potential to develop into a differentiated analytics platform for enterprise level companies that have ties to, or must meet, heavy government regulations.The stock also offers some diversification qualities as it focuses on the software and analytics side of defense systems.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":286,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"9000000000000463","authorId":"9000000000000463","name":"MurrayBulwer","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b11c256c9adb7debe80fba544b0e6b3d","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"9000000000000463","authorIdStr":"9000000000000463"},"content":"You have confidence in it!
