The co-founder and CEO of ARK Investment Management was combing through the second-quarter earnings reports of beaten-down stocks last week, and some of her picks might surprise you.So what did she buy? Wood's exchange-traded funds (ETFs) added to existing stakes in Roku, Shopify, and Teladoc. Let's see if we can figure out what she sees in these former highfliers that have been abandoned by many investors.RokuThere's no question that streaming video growth has hit a speed bump in recent months, as people headed back out into the world after enduring pandemic-related restrictions. Yet cord-cutting remains at near-epidemic proportions, and viewers will need to get their entertainment fix somewhere, which suggests that the growth of streaming media is far from over.Roku has slumped 82% from its all-time high reached in mid-2021. However, the falling stock price doesn't mean its growth streak is over. Roku's revenue rose 18% year over year in its latest quarter, though it swung to a loss, spooking investors.Streaming hours and active accounts grew 19% and 14%, respectively, continuing Roku's unbroken growth streak. Overlooked by investors was the company's average revenue per user (ARPU), which climbed 21%. This means Roku is making more from each successive viewer and suggests that once growth inevitably accelerates, profitability will surge.Roku is the industry leader in a growing market, and while it has fallen on tough times, the future remains bright, which likely contributed to Wood's decision to buy shares even as the stock slid.ShopifyAnother stock that's been left for dead by investors is Shopify. Investors have convinced themselves that e-commerce growth has peaked, sending Shopify shares down roughly 77% from its high hit late last year.Yet even as Shopify stock has plunged, growth has trudged higher. In Q2, revenue climbed 16% year over year, even in the face of tough comps, though expenses weighed on the bottom line. Shopify announced a series of cost-cutting measures -- including lay-offs -- that should help it return to profitability.While online retail growth has hit a speed bump, it's far from over. In fact, in the 10 years prior to the pandemic, e-commerce sales more than doubled, growing from roughly 4% of total retail to nearly 10%. This suggests the pause in digital sales growth is merely temporary.As the leading provider of tools that help merchants join the e-commerce revolution, Shopify is well positioned to benefit from this ongoing trend, which is why Wood continues to buy shares.TeladocThere's no doubt that the adoption of telehealth has slowed, weighing on Teladoc's stock price in the process, which is now down 76% from its peak reached early last year. That doesn't mean its growth is over, which is why Wood has been buying Teladoc shares by the fistful.Q2 revenue grew 18% year over year, and while its losses mounted, much of that was the result of non-cash goodwill impairment charges related to its purchase of Livongo Health. Perhaps more importantly, total patient visits grew by 31% year over year, while its chronic care patients climbed 13%.The ease and convenience of telemedicine hasn't changed, and patients who have used virtual consultations to meet with doctors and other medical professionals will continue to do so, though growth may come at a slower pace. Teladoc expects total visits of roughly 19 million in 2022, resulting in revenue growth of about 21% at the midpoint of its guidance. Given the write-offs, it's doubtful the company will be profitable this year, but that thing they say in the exercise community applies just as well to the investing experience. No pain, no gain! Teladoc will get back to making profits in the long run, so investors should pounce while shares are cheap.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"ROKU":0.9,"SHOP":0.9,"TDOC":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1901,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9070795660,"gmtCreate":1657103224550,"gmtModify":1676535949724,"author":{"id":"3586749443973534","authorId":"3586749443973534","name":"DividendNewb","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d6bffa878196646e2a51cb223e133d79","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586749443973534","authorIdStr":"3586749443973534"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/PLTR\">$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$</a>chiong ah!","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/PLTR\">$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$</a>chiong ah!","text":"$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$chiong ah!","images":[{"img":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/47e793cedb233d350127ac3d12d9c68a","width":"1242","height":"2448"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9070795660","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2362,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9041306033,"gmtCreate":1656001456322,"gmtModify":1676535748583,"author":{"id":"3586749443973534","authorId":"3586749443973534","name":"DividendNewb","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d6bffa878196646e2a51cb223e133d79","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586749443973534","authorIdStr":"3586749443973534"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/PLTR\">$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$</a>2nd round from bottom.

The question that everyone is asking now is if Palantir’s shares have bottomed out or if its capitulation point is yet to come. Amidst the ongoing selloff and the ensuing confusion, there has been a positive development. Short interest in Palantir dropped by almost 19% in the last cycle. This suggests that the selling pressure is cooling down and that the stock may be in the process of forming a bottom. Let’s take a closer look to gain a better understanding of it all.</p><p><b>Shorting Subsides</b></p><p>For the uninitiated, short interest is basically the total number of short positions that are open and are yet to be covered. A sharp drop in the metric indicates that short-side market participants have actively wound up their positions as, perhaps, they feel the stock has become fairly valued and doesn’t have much downside potential left. Conversely, a rapid buildup of short interest suggests that market participants are actively shorting the concerned stock, anticipating that it’ll quickly depreciate in value in the foreseeable future. So, the short interest metric is a useful tool to gauge the Street’s ever-evolving sentiment pertaining to any given stock.</p><p>In Palantir’s case, its short interest amounted to about 107 million at the end of the last reporting cycle. This figure may not mean much in isolation but it actually amounts to roughly 6.5% of the company’s total floating shares. What’s even more interesting here is that this figure is down by nearly 19% within one month. This considerable reduction indicates that short-side market participants actively wound up their positions in Palantir during the last cycle.</p><p>Next, I wanted to see if this short covering was prevalent in the entire software infrastructure industry or if was elevated specifically in Palantir’s case. So, I pulled up the short interest data for 30 other software infrastructure stocks listed on U.S. bourses, that had at least $1 billion in trailing twelve-month revenue. The results were rather interesting. As it turns out, Palantir saw one of the highest levels of short unwinding in the last cycle. This indicates that market participants were far too active with unwinding their short positions in Palantir, than with the other stocks.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/79a0476cc0b147a103afae4c80cf8bfd\" tg-width=\"491\" tg-height=\"649\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>BusinessQuant.com</p><p>Another point to note here is that this short unwinding took place while Palantir’s shares were still subdued. If the bears had a credible thesis for the company, they would have held onto the short positions a little longer in a bid to profit from further price declines. But these traders covered their short positions instead, perhaps because they perceive the stock to have bottomed out and/or have little downside potential from current levels.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/09001933cad6efe01125732e9dcfcbd3\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"452\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>BusinessQuant.com</p><p>This begs the question – why are market participants actively unwinding their short positions in Palantir in the first place?</p><p><b>Reasons for Caution</b></p><p>There are broadly 3 reasons as to why market participants may be scrambling to cover their shorts in Palantir. First, the stock has already dropped by a considerable amount over the last year and it’s now valued more or less at par with some of the other rapidly-growing names belonging to the software infrastructure industry. This suggests that Palantir’s shares may have limited downside potential from current levels, thereby making them moribund for short-side traders.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f2e32bcefedbbdaf4003a9e48f90ccbf\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"349\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>BusinessQuant.com</p><p>Secondly, Palantir was lambasted in investing circles for several months after its direct listing about how its commercial business wasn’t taking off. While some bears suggested that Palantir’s revenue growth entirely hinged on its government ties and secret deals, others felt that the company didn’t have any moat to compete in the commercial space. But those days are in the past, as Palantir’s commercial revenue growth has finally taken off in recent quarters.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3f10d330e80a97d6395a18202685bb0f\" tg-width=\"826\" tg-height=\"709\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>BusinessQuant.com</p><p>Third, Palantir’s commercial revenue growth momentum is likely to continue in the foreseeable future as well, and the segment is likely to become a major growth driver for the company as a whole. See, Palantir has been adding customers at a rapid rate. Its commercial customer count in Q1 was up 205% year-over-year whereas its commercial revenue was up 56% in the said time frame.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0e05bcf6c8e623301a6d6031023264a9\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"541\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>BusinessQuant.com</p><p>This leads me to believe that these new customers are starting out with relatively smaller contracts and they’re likely to gradually ramp up spending on Palantir’s platforms as their personnel get familiarized with the new workflows and the companies drop their legacy reporting tools. This implies that Palantir’s commercial revenue growth momentum will remain at elevated levels and eventually become the predominant growth driver for the entire company.</p><p>Besides, I’ve also covered in my prior articles how Palantir’s stock-based compensation is subsiding and is no longer a cause of concern, how its insider selling has dropped substantially, and why the company will be relatively unfazed in an inflationary environment. All these factors, collectively, suggest that Palantir’s shares are bottoming out at current levels, making it a very risky short for the time being at least.</p><p><b>Final Thoughts</b></p><p>I’d like to clarify that short interest data highlights trades that have already taken place in the past. It does not predict trades that are yet to take place and/or the ensuing price action. So, this data should, at best, be used to confirm the trade direction and to ascertain if the underlying investment thesis lines up with shorting activity.</p><p>Having said that, the sharp short interest reduction in Palantir should come as a relief for its long-side shareholders. It indicates that the incessant selloff in the stock may now be over and the security may be in the process of forming a bottom. Therefore, I believe this may be a good time to accumulate the stock with a long-term time horizon.

The question that everyone is asking now is if Palantir’s shares have bottomed out or if its capitulation point is yet to come. Amidst the ongoing selloff and the ensuing confusion, there has been a positive development. Short interest in Palantir dropped by almost 19% in the last cycle. This suggests that the selling pressure is cooling down and that the stock may be in the process of forming a bottom. Let’s take a closer look to gain a better understanding of it all.Shorting SubsidesFor the uninitiated, short interest is basically the total number of short positions that are open and are yet to be covered. A sharp drop in the metric indicates that short-side market participants have actively wound up their positions as, perhaps, they feel the stock has become fairly valued and doesn’t have much downside potential left. Conversely, a rapid buildup of short interest suggests that market participants are actively shorting the concerned stock, anticipating that it’ll quickly depreciate in value in the foreseeable future. So, the short interest metric is a useful tool to gauge the Street’s ever-evolving sentiment pertaining to any given stock.In Palantir’s case, its short interest amounted to about 107 million at the end of the last reporting cycle. This figure may not mean much in isolation but it actually amounts to roughly 6.5% of the company’s total floating shares. What’s even more interesting here is that this figure is down by nearly 19% within one month. This considerable reduction indicates that short-side market participants actively wound up their positions in Palantir during the last cycle.Next, I wanted to see if this short covering was prevalent in the entire software infrastructure industry or if was elevated specifically in Palantir’s case. So, I pulled up the short interest data for 30 other software infrastructure stocks listed on U.S. bourses, that had at least $1 billion in trailing twelve-month revenue. The results were rather interesting. As it turns out, Palantir saw one of the highest levels of short unwinding in the last cycle. This indicates that market participants were far too active with unwinding their short positions in Palantir, than with the other stocks.BusinessQuant.comAnother point to note here is that this short unwinding took place while Palantir’s shares were still subdued. If the bears had a credible thesis for the company, they would have held onto the short positions a little longer in a bid to profit from further price declines. But these traders covered their short positions instead, perhaps because they perceive the stock to have bottomed out and/or have little downside potential from current levels.BusinessQuant.comThis begs the question – why are market participants actively unwinding their short positions in Palantir in the first place?Reasons for CautionThere are broadly 3 reasons as to why market participants may be scrambling to cover their shorts in Palantir. First, the stock has already dropped by a considerable amount over the last year and it’s now valued more or less at par with some of the other rapidly-growing names belonging to the software infrastructure industry. This suggests that Palantir’s shares may have limited downside potential from current levels, thereby making them moribund for short-side traders.BusinessQuant.comSecondly, Palantir was lambasted in investing circles for several months after its direct listing about how its commercial business wasn’t taking off. While some bears suggested that Palantir’s revenue growth entirely hinged on its government ties and secret deals, others felt that the company didn’t have any moat to compete in the commercial space. But those days are in the past, as Palantir’s commercial revenue growth has finally taken off in recent quarters.BusinessQuant.comThird, Palantir’s commercial revenue growth momentum is likely to continue in the foreseeable future as well, and the segment is likely to become a major growth driver for the company as a whole. See, Palantir has been adding customers at a rapid rate. Its commercial customer count in Q1 was up 205% year-over-year whereas its commercial revenue was up 56% in the said time frame.BusinessQuant.comThis leads me to believe that these new customers are starting out with relatively smaller contracts and they’re likely to gradually ramp up spending on Palantir’s platforms as their personnel get familiarized with the new workflows and the companies drop their legacy reporting tools. This implies that Palantir’s commercial revenue growth momentum will remain at elevated levels and eventually become the predominant growth driver for the entire company.Besides, I’ve also covered in my prior articles how Palantir’s stock-based compensation is subsiding and is no longer a cause of concern, how its insider selling has dropped substantially, and why the company will be relatively unfazed in an inflationary environment. All these factors, collectively, suggest that Palantir’s shares are bottoming out at current levels, making it a very risky short for the time being at least.Final ThoughtsI’d like to clarify that short interest data highlights trades that have already taken place in the past. It does not predict trades that are yet to take place and/or the ensuing price action. So, this data should, at best, be used to confirm the trade direction and to ascertain if the underlying investment thesis lines up with shorting activity.Having said that, the sharp short interest reduction in Palantir should come as a relief for its long-side shareholders. It indicates that the incessant selloff in the stock may now be over and the security may be in the process of forming a bottom. Therefore, I believe this may be a good time to accumulate the stock with a long-term time horizon.

(NYSE:PLTR) stock has been a total disaster for longs. Many retail \"b","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>So, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PLTR\">Palantir Technologies Inc.</a> (NYSE:PLTR) stock has been a total disaster for longs. Many retail &#34;bag-holders&#34; out there. And we would like to point out that we were wrong in our last column on the stock, despite making our members money. In our last column we predicted it would be emerging from the ashes and put out a profitable short-term trade recommendation in that piece. Winning.</p><p>However, <i>we were also wrong</i>, because we thought the bottom was put in after it reset back to trade just about at its direct public offering price. <i>We got that part wrong</i>.</p><p>While we get the win on the trade, we recognize that investors are getting creamed. Unfortunately this is a trader&#39;s market right now, and we have had a short bias the last few months, with selective long-term plays only in the most quality of names. We hate to see investors lose money, and we know it can be painful. The question is, what can we expect going forward. Is all hope lost here? We keep hearing that that technology stocks, especially those that are potential game-changing names, are on sale. But are they?</p><p>Names like Palantir are indeed often extremely expensive in the early stages. You really cannot value them on an earnings basis because there are no or very little earnings. Palantir also has a massive dilution problem, which means consistent positive EPS gets kicked further down the road. We think Palantir has a lot of potential, but this market is beyond unforgiving to those companies that do not make money or have sky high valuations. It does not matter at all how much promise they have; the stocks are all down and down massively. What can you do? We think there are three possible courses of action in the disaster that has been Palantir, all of which are correct.</p><p>The first option is the easiest, and perhaps a &#34;cop out&#34; for lack of a better term. But that option is to simply avoid the stock altogether in favor of deep value names offering some yield protection and are still managing to grow. We would not short down here at $7-$8, as the stock really has been pounded. The risk-reward is not favorable on a short after all of the action. So, you could do nothing and just watch it. If you own the stock, that would be a simple hold then. You could consider selling some upside calls on big bounces to lower cost basis if you choose.</p><p>The second course of action is in our wheelhouse. And that is to trade the name. Right now, we think that $7 level is a buy for gains to be sold at $8-$9, maybe $10. But this market environment is not going to get any better for innovative tech in the near-term. You could then consider some put options or mild shorts if the stock does enjoy a sizable bounce from the oversold conditions.</p><p>The third option is likely where a lot of readers are interested, and that is simply invest in the name, not obsess over the day-to-day tick in price. Add selectively to a well-rounded portfolio to improve cost basis, and put faith in management that it can deliver on growing the business profitably without diluting shareholders into oblivion. Right now this is a tall order for this company and management. While operationally the company is growing sufficiently, management has some credibility issues. What <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> has to do is determine if what the company offers will solve enough headaches for customers that eventually the growing sales turn into sustained and growing profits.</p><p>For years, Palantir may lose money or breakeven. Of course, the theory goes that companies like this will lose money as they spend to attract customers and build their moat. They invest heavily in their growth while seeing revenues increase dramatically. And as we know, Palantir is seeing revenues grow tremendously.</p><p>So, what is our take? We think you wait for the next down day in the stock. It has enjoyed a sizable relief bounce from the lows, but we believe the stock will retest these lows as the economy continues to worsen, rates are going up, and markets struggle. We would be both traders and investors at $7. The risk could be that Palantir&#39;s growth fades and the company never really transforms the world. New competitors could emerge. Dilution could continue so long that positive EPS becomes out of reach without future buybacks. We hate to say it but frankly, it is not uncommon for stocks in seemingly innovative companies to wither away to sub $1 then eventually delist because the company failed to grow and deliver on its plans.</p><p>Although we were wrong in that bottom call, operationally we are seeing some positive signs. Internal metrics improve year-after-year for Palantir and we see no reason why the ongoing growth will not eventually lead to real profits, other than dilution. We admit and accept that so many great companies start out losing money. While the Russia/Ukraine conflict was a seemingly bullish development as it highlights a need to mine data for intelligence, some see a limited benefit for Palantir. For the long-term investor, we like a buy in this stock on weakness that sends the stock lower. While it will still be expensive, even for high growth tech, it will be much more reasonable compared to a few months ago. And it is not like the company is bleeding out and losing money hand over first. Palantir is breaking even and making some money some quarters.</p><h2>Palantir&#39;s Government and Commercial sectors showing growth</h2><p>In the just reported quarter, performance was strong on the top line and ahead of consensus estimates. Total revenue grew 31% year-over-year to $446 million, beating estimates by almost $3 million. However, its profitability was lower than expected by $0.02, and worse, guidance was less than consensus. That crushed the stock. But that said, both segments are doing well.</p><p>Palantir has two reporting segments: both the government and commercial segments. The commercial revenue stream continues to grow rapidly, while government results are likely to get a big boost following international strife. While the war in Ukraine may or may not lead to more business the company has invested in itself to grow sales. There are some concerns with backlog, but as we previously covered, Palantir has been hiring.</p><p>Palantir has expanded its sales team and they have been working to secure new orders. However, the Government revenues have slowed their growth somewhat. Deceleration of revenue growth is definitely a negative for a company like this that does not enjoy high earnings. They rose 16% from last year, and the company added a total of 40 net new customers in the quarter, which is very positive, 3 on the government side and 37 on the commercial side. We think it is important to note that the commercial space is doing well. The commercial revenue is expanding rapidly, increasing 132% in 2021, and here in Q1, it rose 54% year-over-year.</p><p>Palantir is seeing very positive momentum in its margins as well. Positive movement in margins is important in a software company as it really highlights strengths, or weaknesses, in the way it distributes its products. Palantir is delivering. Adjusted gross margin was 81%. Contribution margin was 57%. First quarter adjusted income from operations, excluding stock-based compensation and related employer payroll taxes was $117 million, representing an adjusted operating margin of 26%, ahead of management&#39;s prior guidance of 23%. This is positive.</p><h2>Palantir is slightly profitable, for now</h2><p>Despite the pull back now to single-digits, the stock is actually still expensive, like so many other growth tech names. The company lost $39 million in the quarter operationally, but adjusted income from operations was $117 million. The company is still free cash flow positive. Adjusted free cash flow was $30 million for the quarter. That said, the company was profitable at a $0.02 adjusted EPS bottom line figure, but this missed estimated by $0.02, so that is a negative, and another reason the stock is down.</p><p>We say the company is profitable for now for two reasons. First, there is a ton of stock based-compensation. This has been discussed in the past but we have to reiterate that we like that management has acknowledged that it is a problem. Still, it is ongoing, and every share that is issued waters down the ability to increase EPS. In short, shareholders could be diluted into losses. The second reason is that although there is growth internationally, as well as big gains in the U.S., we could see the government and companies slash spending if there is a recession. Each week, things seem to get worse in terms of how expensive things are, and corporate earnings reports continue to highlight the tremendous pressure inflation is putting on them. While Palantir&#39;s technology should help governments and businesses alike operate more efficiently, and therefore more profitably, we could see reduced spending on services like this.</p><h2>Still expensive</h2><p>On the valuation front, the stock is still pricey. Sure, looking at traditional price-to-earnings is futile, but if you did you would see a stock at like 50X. Very pricey. Perhaps the more appropriate measure is the price-to-sales ratio, but not only is this still very high, the market has basically said it is no longer willing to pay for sky high multiples. Keep that in mind. At 9X sales, the stock is much cheaper than it has ever been, but it is still not &#34;cheap&#34;. We would highlight that the PEG ratio is reasonable and we like the cash flow metrics.</p><h2>The outlook is murky</h2><p>The biggest concern right now is not valuation. It is not dilution. It is not the &#34;overall market.&#34; The largest issue is a slowdown in performance. The Q2 guidance was pretty weak. The company perhaps is underpromising to overdeliver, by management guided to a base case of $470 million in revenue. This was below consensus of $484 million. However in the release management noted that &#34;there is a wide range of potential upside to [the] guidance.&#34; The one positive factor to highlight is that Palantir continues to see 30% annual revenue growth through 2025.</p><h2>Take home</h2><p>The company operates with no debt and has nice positive free cash flow. They are poised to benefit from strong secular trends in big data and using analytics to improve operations. In the short-term, it is painful. Long-term, minus the dilution issues, there is a lot of promise here for future profits. The customer growth is impressive as is the revenue growth.

(NYSE:PLTR) stock has been a total disaster for longs. Many retail \"bag-holders\" out there. And we would like to point out that we were wrong in our last column on the stock, despite making our members money. In our last column we predicted it would be emerging from the ashes and put out a profitable short-term trade recommendation in that piece. Winning.However, we were also wrong, because we thought the bottom was put in after it reset back to trade just about at its direct public offering price. We got that part wrong.While we get the win on the trade, we recognize that investors are getting creamed. Unfortunately this is a trader's market right now, and we have had a short bias the last few months, with selective long-term plays only in the most quality of names. We hate to see investors lose money, and we know it can be painful. The question is, what can we expect going forward. Is all hope lost here? We keep hearing that that technology stocks, especially those that are potential game-changing names, are on sale. But are they?Names like Palantir are indeed often extremely expensive in the early stages. You really cannot value them on an earnings basis because there are no or very little earnings. Palantir also has a massive dilution problem, which means consistent positive EPS gets kicked further down the road. We think Palantir has a lot of potential, but this market is beyond unforgiving to those companies that do not make money or have sky high valuations. It does not matter at all how much promise they have; the stocks are all down and down massively. What can you do? We think there are three possible courses of action in the disaster that has been Palantir, all of which are correct.The first option is the easiest, and perhaps a \"cop out\" for lack of a better term. But that option is to simply avoid the stock altogether in favor of deep value names offering some yield protection and are still managing to grow. We would not short down here at $7-$8, as the stock really has been pounded. The risk-reward is not favorable on a short after all of the action. So, you could do nothing and just watch it. If you own the stock, that would be a simple hold then. You could consider selling some upside calls on big bounces to lower cost basis if you choose.The second course of action is in our wheelhouse. And that is to trade the name. Right now, we think that $7 level is a buy for gains to be sold at $8-$9, maybe $10. But this market environment is not going to get any better for innovative tech in the near-term. You could then consider some put options or mild shorts if the stock does enjoy a sizable bounce from the oversold conditions.The third option is likely where a lot of readers are interested, and that is simply invest in the name, not obsess over the day-to-day tick in price. Add selectively to a well-rounded portfolio to improve cost basis, and put faith in management that it can deliver on growing the business profitably without diluting shareholders into oblivion. Right now this is a tall order for this company and management. While operationally the company is growing sufficiently, management has some credibility issues. What one has to do is determine if what the company offers will solve enough headaches for customers that eventually the growing sales turn into sustained and growing profits.For years, Palantir may lose money or breakeven. Of course, the theory goes that companies like this will lose money as they spend to attract customers and build their moat. They invest heavily in their growth while seeing revenues increase dramatically. And as we know, Palantir is seeing revenues grow tremendously.So, what is our take? We think you wait for the next down day in the stock. It has enjoyed a sizable relief bounce from the lows, but we believe the stock will retest these lows as the economy continues to worsen, rates are going up, and markets struggle. We would be both traders and investors at $7. The risk could be that Palantir's growth fades and the company never really transforms the world. New competitors could emerge. Dilution could continue so long that positive EPS becomes out of reach without future buybacks. We hate to say it but frankly, it is not uncommon for stocks in seemingly innovative companies to wither away to sub $1 then eventually delist because the company failed to grow and deliver on its plans.Although we were wrong in that bottom call, operationally we are seeing some positive signs. Internal metrics improve year-after-year for Palantir and we see no reason why the ongoing growth will not eventually lead to real profits, other than dilution. We admit and accept that so many great companies start out losing money. While the Russia/Ukraine conflict was a seemingly bullish development as it highlights a need to mine data for intelligence, some see a limited benefit for Palantir. For the long-term investor, we like a buy in this stock on weakness that sends the stock lower. While it will still be expensive, even for high growth tech, it will be much more reasonable compared to a few months ago. And it is not like the company is bleeding out and losing money hand over first. Palantir is breaking even and making some money some quarters.Palantir's Government and Commercial sectors showing growthIn the just reported quarter, performance was strong on the top line and ahead of consensus estimates. Total revenue grew 31% year-over-year to $446 million, beating estimates by almost $3 million. However, its profitability was lower than expected by $0.02, and worse, guidance was less than consensus. That crushed the stock. But that said, both segments are doing well.Palantir has two reporting segments: both the government and commercial segments. The commercial revenue stream continues to grow rapidly, while government results are likely to get a big boost following international strife. While the war in Ukraine may or may not lead to more business the company has invested in itself to grow sales. There are some concerns with backlog, but as we previously covered, Palantir has been hiring.Palantir has expanded its sales team and they have been working to secure new orders. However, the Government revenues have slowed their growth somewhat. Deceleration of revenue growth is definitely a negative for a company like this that does not enjoy high earnings. They rose 16% from last year, and the company added a total of 40 net new customers in the quarter, which is very positive, 3 on the government side and 37 on the commercial side. We think it is important to note that the commercial space is doing well. The commercial revenue is expanding rapidly, increasing 132% in 2021, and here in Q1, it rose 54% year-over-year.Palantir is seeing very positive momentum in its margins as well. Positive movement in margins is important in a software company as it really highlights strengths, or weaknesses, in the way it distributes its products. Palantir is delivering. Adjusted gross margin was 81%. Contribution margin was 57%. First quarter adjusted income from operations, excluding stock-based compensation and related employer payroll taxes was $117 million, representing an adjusted operating margin of 26%, ahead of management's prior guidance of 23%. This is positive.Palantir is slightly profitable, for nowDespite the pull back now to single-digits, the stock is actually still expensive, like so many other growth tech names. The company lost $39 million in the quarter operationally, but adjusted income from operations was $117 million. The company is still free cash flow positive. Adjusted free cash flow was $30 million for the quarter. That said, the company was profitable at a $0.02 adjusted EPS bottom line figure, but this missed estimated by $0.02, so that is a negative, and another reason the stock is down.We say the company is profitable for now for two reasons. First, there is a ton of stock based-compensation. This has been discussed in the past but we have to reiterate that we like that management has acknowledged that it is a problem. Still, it is ongoing, and every share that is issued waters down the ability to increase EPS. In short, shareholders could be diluted into losses. The second reason is that although there is growth internationally, as well as big gains in the U.S., we could see the government and companies slash spending if there is a recession. Each week, things seem to get worse in terms of how expensive things are, and corporate earnings reports continue to highlight the tremendous pressure inflation is putting on them. While Palantir's technology should help governments and businesses alike operate more efficiently, and therefore more profitably, we could see reduced spending on services like this.Still expensiveOn the valuation front, the stock is still pricey. Sure, looking at traditional price-to-earnings is futile, but if you did you would see a stock at like 50X. Very pricey. Perhaps the more appropriate measure is the price-to-sales ratio, but not only is this still very high, the market has basically said it is no longer willing to pay for sky high multiples. Keep that in mind. At 9X sales, the stock is much cheaper than it has ever been, but it is still not \"cheap\". We would highlight that the PEG ratio is reasonable and we like the cash flow metrics.The outlook is murkyThe biggest concern right now is not valuation. It is not dilution. It is not the \"overall market.\" The largest issue is a slowdown in performance. The Q2 guidance was pretty weak. The company perhaps is underpromising to overdeliver, by management guided to a base case of $470 million in revenue. This was below consensus of $484 million. However in the release management noted that \"there is a wide range of potential upside to [the] guidance.\" The one positive factor to highlight is that Palantir continues to see 30% annual revenue growth through 2025.Take homeThe company operates with no debt and has nice positive free cash flow. They are poised to benefit from strong secular trends in big data and using analytics to improve operations. In the short-term, it is painful. Long-term, minus the dilution issues, there is a lot of promise here for future profits. The customer growth is impressive as is the revenue growth. While the stock has been a disaster, man analysts have price targets implying massive upside. We continue to see ongoing rapid growth in the U.S., but do caution that a big economic slowdown could hurt government and commercial spending. All things considered, on the next drawdown we would be buyers.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"PLTR":1}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2464,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"defaultTab":"posts","isTTM":true}
