The company&#39;s strong focus on enterprise customers positions it incredibly well as these enterprises look to take advantage of AI.

Palantir is one of the strongest companies in the AI space, especially when looking at directly selling AI to customers. Its leadership will enable it to dominate as new companies move to the space.</p><p>The company&#39;s positioning is part of the reason why its share price has outperformed over the last month, but we don&#39;t see that as the end of things.</p><h2>Palantir Financial Results</h2><p>The company&#39;s financial results have been incredibly strong.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/65aac1ddea840ec12aae7b3b0a9f14f5\" alt=\"Palantir Investor Presentation\" title=\"Palantir Investor Presentation\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"280\"/><span>Palantir Investor Presentation</span></p><p>The company signed 64 deals during the last quarter, and it&#39;s shown an increased ability to get large scale deals. The company has closed almost $400 million in new contracts, a 60% improvement YoY, foretelling strong potential revenue growth for the company versus prior growth rates. We see that as only having accelerated into the most recent quarter.</p><p>Palantir&#39;s scale is also evident through deal sizes, with 22 deals at least $5 million and 8 at least $10 million.

It&#39;s a strong turnaround from 2022 when the company had -$160 million in GAAP income for the year. We expect the company to have positive GAAP income for the year, which combined with a strong cash position will enable shareholder returns.</p><h2>Palantir Revenue / Margin Growth</h2><p>The company is focused on growing both revenues and margins.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5e983c726c7f3d400e2ecd9ef31b62dc\" alt=\"Palantir Investor Presentation\" title=\"Palantir Investor Presentation\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"234\"/><span>Palantir Investor Presentation</span></p><p>For Q2, 2023, Palantir expects $530 million in revenue, roughly the same as Q1. However, the company&#39;s FY 2023 target is $2.21 billion, meaning a strong growth to revenue in the second half of the year. The company&#39;s adjusted income from operations target is $530 million, which we expect to be primarily FCF.</p><p>That represents a ~2% FCF yield for the company and shows its financial strength. The company had 81% margins in the most recent quarter, a slight YoY increase from 80%. Those incredibly high adjusted gross margins will enable continued FCF strength and given the company&#39;s high fixed costs we expect revenue growth to lead to more increase.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/89ae97df08823e34ff8a232dbb0015bc\" alt=\"Palantir Investor Presentation\" title=\"Palantir Investor Presentation\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"295\"/><span>Palantir Investor Presentation</span></p><p>Palantir&#39;s strength is shown less through its revenue growth and more so in the graph for the right. For the first time, the company&#39;s top 20 customers have crossed $1 billion in annual revenue. For these companies, Palantir has become an integral part in how they function.</p><p>The company&#39;s ability to acquire new customers and grow relationships with existing customers is a double whammy that will lead to long-term sustainable growth.</p><h2>Thesis Risk</h2><p>The largest risk to our thesis is Palantir&#39;s ability to continue growing cash flow to justify its valuation. On paper, it looks great, but the company has $750 million in annualized cash flow, which is a FCF yield of 2.5%. That&#39;s an atrocious long-term valuation and shows that the company has growth ahead to justify its current valuation.</p><p>Not achieving that growth would make the company a poor investment.</p><h2>Conclusion</h2><p>Subtracting the cash, Palantir has a roughly $27 billion valuation, a substantial increase over the $12 billion non-cash valuation a month ago. Despite that, we still see the company as one of the unique opportunities in the AI market. Palantir is not only rapidly and sustainably growing revenue from existing customers, it&#39;s picking up numerous additional customers.</p><p>At a 2% FCF yield with a double-digit growth rate, Palantir Technologies Inc. has the ability to continue growing. It has no debt and a strong net cash position which means profits can be rapidly directed to shareholders. Putting all of this together, Palantir is a valuable long-term investment that can drive substantial returns.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Palantir: Perhaps An AI Stock That Isn't Overpriced</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: Perhaps An AI Stock That Isn't Overpriced\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-06-09 16:10 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4610058-palantir-perhaps-an-ai-stock-that-isnt-overpriced><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryThe Palantir Technologies Inc. share price has more than doubled since the start of May, a strong result for those who invested with our prior recommendations.Palantir has an impressive AI ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4610058-palantir-perhaps-an-ai-stock-that-isnt-overpriced\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"BK4588":"碎股","BK4023":"应用软件","PLTR":"Palantir Technologies Inc.","BK4543":"AI","BK4547":"WSB热门概念","BK4585":"ETF&股票定投概念"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4610058-palantir-perhaps-an-ai-stock-that-isnt-overpriced","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"2341138823","content_text":"SummaryThe Palantir Technologies Inc. share price has more than doubled since the start of May, a strong result for those who invested with our prior recommendations.Palantir has an impressive AI portfolio with new customers at its door and a proven ability to get large contracts.Going forward, we expect Palantir to be able to start generating substantial cash flow and valuable shareholder returns.Marco BelloPalantir Technologies Inc.
