Well, Palantir Technologies Inc. has been around since 2003 and is headquartered in Denver, Colorado. In short,they build and deploy software platforms for the intelligence community in the USA to assist in counterterrorism investigations and operations.<blockquote>如果你和我一样，你可能不知道这家公司是谁，也不知道他们做什么。Palantir Technologies Inc.成立于2003年，总部位于科罗拉多州丹佛市。简而言之，他们为美国情报界构建和部署软件平台，以协助反恐调查和行动。</blockquote> Palantir Gothamis a software program that identifies patterns hidden deep within datasets. This helps execute real-world responses to threats that have been identified within the platform. This was used in the efforts to help those in need in hurricane Florence in 2018. Palantir Gothamcombined publicly available flood data with weather information and social vulnerability census data to find the communities in greatest needand resources were deployed appropriately. More recently, they are providing the U.S. government with coronavirus tracking software.<blockquote>Palantir Gothamis是一个软件程序，可以识别隐藏在数据集中深处的模式。这有助于对平台内已识别的威胁执行真实世界的响应。这被用于帮助2018年佛罗伦萨飓风中有需要的人。Palantir Gotham将公开可用的洪水数据与天气信息和社会脆弱性普查数据相结合，以找到最需要的社区并适当部署资源。最近，他们向美国政府提供冠状病毒跟踪软件。</blockquote> The company also provides Palantir Foundry,a platform that transforms the ways organizations operate by creating a central operating system for their data; and allows individual users to integrate and analyze the data they need in one place.<blockquote>该公司还提供Palantir Foundry，这是一个通过为组织的数据创建中央操作系统来改变组织运营方式的平台；并允许个人用户在一个地方集成和分析他们需要的数据。</blockquote> Pretty cool hey?<blockquote>很酷嘿？</blockquote> What Is Driving The Company?<blockquote>公司的驱动力是什么？</blockquote> Revenue. This is a growth play, plain and simple. Looking below we can see what is forecasted down the pipe. The missing block is 2020, which we found out todaywas $1.1 billion. That is a ~47% increase year-over-year. Going forward, analysts are projecting the pace stays heavy at 35%+ per year revenue growth. Often we consider 20% being strong, so that makes this look really good. For the fourth quarter, the company posted $322.1 million in revenue for the quarter, which was a beat by 20%.<blockquote>收入。这是一部成长剧，简单明了。往下看，我们可以看到未来的预测。缺失的区块是2020年，我们今天发现是11亿美元。同比增长约47%。展望未来，分析师预计年收入增长率将保持在35%以上。通常我们认为20%是强的，所以这看起来真的很好。第四季度，该公司营收为3.221亿美元，增长20%。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2926257ca97794e55159ce8c6021a745\" tg-width=\"2978\" tg-height=\"992\"><blockquote></blockquote> (Source: TIKR.com)<blockquote>（来源：TIKR.com）</blockquote> The shock came from theloss per share which totaled $0.08 versus the positive $0.02 consensus. The stock fell over 12% today on the earnings news. Upon diving deeper, it would appear most investors were disappointed with the forward forecasts. I personally think they are sandbagging a bit to blow away consensus down the line, but time will tell how true that is. Based on everything the company had put out in terms of news, which is nicely outlined inJohn Rhodes article : Palantir: Potential Q4 Revenue Blowoutmost people expected the revenue beat, but the action in the stock over the last week showed otherwise.<blockquote>令人震惊的是每股亏损总计0.08美元，而市场普遍预期为0.02美元。受财报消息影响，该股今天下跌超过12%。深入研究后，大多数投资者似乎对前瞻性预测感到失望。我个人认为他们有点沙袋，以消除共识，但时间会证明这有多真实。根据该公司发布的所有新闻，约翰·罗兹(John Rhodes)的文章对此进行了很好的概述：Palantir：潜在的第四季度收入井喷大多数人预计收入会超出预期，但该股上周的表现却并非如此。</blockquote> Data has become more relevant to the average person than ever before. The local news has all kinds of data on it when it comes to COVID-19.In 2020, Palantir helped 100 commercial organizations and 10 national governments respond to COVID-19. This has been a large opportunity for Palantir, and they have not squandered it. This response has helped earn thema 2-year contract for U.K. health services work worth $31.5 million. In the fourth quarter alone, the company signed21 deals worth more than $5 million. 12 of which were worth $10 million or more. Revenue growth will continue to be the future of Palantir.<blockquote>数据变得比以往任何时候都更加与普通人相关。当地新闻有各种各样关于新冠肺炎的数据。2020年，Palantir帮助100家商业组织和10个国家政府应对COVID-19。这对Palantir来说是一个巨大的机会，他们并没有浪费它。这一回应帮助thema赢得了价值3150万美元的为期两年的英国卫生服务工作合同。仅在第四季度，该公司就签署了21笔价值超过500万美元的交易。其中12个价值1000万美元或以上。收入增长将继续是Palantir的未来。</blockquote> Some of the best business going is government business. For the year, Palantir saw56% of their revenue or $610 million come from government contracts. While the commercial side saw higher year-over-year growth at 107%, a 77% increase in government-based revenue isn't anything to laugh at. One of the more impressive pieces was that we saw happen with the average customer.Revenue increased by 41% year-over-year. Up to $7.9 million per customer from $5.6 million. This is an important metric to keep an eye on as customers hand more and more business over to Palantir as they continue to develop and improve their systems. The other factor playing into this is Palantir pulling larger customers into the fold. The new customers acquired in 2020, generated $42 million in revenue.<blockquote>一些最好的业务是政府业务。今年，Palantir 56%的收入（即6.1亿美元）来自政府合同。虽然商业方面的同比增长高达107%，但政府收入增长77%并不是什么可笑的事情。更令人印象深刻的一件事是我们在普通客户身上看到的情况。收入同比增长41%。每位客户从560万美元增至790万美元。随着客户继续开发和改进其系统，将越来越多的业务移交给Palantir，这是一个需要关注的重要指标。另一个因素是Palantir吸引了更大的客户。2020年获得的新客户创造了4200万美元的收入。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9284f5fd3e26d0c55fcd9b2f6355371e\" tg-width=\"1752\" tg-height=\"983\"><blockquote></blockquote> (Company Presentation)<blockquote>（公司介绍）</blockquote> So all of this and we still sit down 12% today? As I mentioned above, it was the forward forecasts that people were a bit shocked at. Palantir said toexpect revenue growth in excess of 30% for 2021. This would be fantastic news for most companies, but after you just posted a 47% growth year, it is a bit saddening. But as I said, I think they are sandbagging a bit. Analysts are still projecting about a 35% increase for 2021. Something tells me they will outdo that as the year goes on. The company did state that they are targeting $4 billion in revenue by 2025, which carrying 30% per year growth from here will get you. I fully expect that number to creep closer to $5 billion based on current projections. Palantir is going after the \"big fish\" across multiple industries.8 of their customers fall into the Fortune 100, and 12 of the Global 100. As their products continue to develop and improve, their bottom line is only going to get better. I think there is a lot of room to run here in the long term.<blockquote>所以所有这些，我们今天仍然坐在12%？正如我上面提到的，人们对前瞻性预测感到有点震惊。Palantir表示，预计2021年收入增长将超过30%。对于大多数公司来说，这将是一个好消息，但在您刚刚公布了47%的增长年度之后，这有点令人难过。但正如我所说，我认为他们有点沙袋。分析师仍预计2021年将增长约35%。直觉告诉我，随着时间的推移，他们会超越这一目标。该公司确实表示，他们的目标是到2025年实现40亿美元的收入，从现在开始每年增长30%。根据目前的预测，我完全预计这个数字将接近50亿美元。Palantir正在追逐多个行业的“大鱼”。他们的客户中有8家属于财富100强，12家属于全球100强。随着他们产品的不断开发和改进，他们的底线只会越来越好。我认为从长远来看，这里有很大的发展空间。</blockquote> What Are The Risks?<blockquote>有哪些风险？</blockquote> One of the up-and-coming risks is the lock-up period ending, which I will touch on below. Besides that, I will look at the government contracts. Yes, they are some of the most important, but that's not to say they come without risk. In the past, Palantir has said they need to focus more so on commercial customers to help the bottom line and to turn a profit (part of the reason for the earnings sell-off). As we can see, they have landed some big-time commercial clients, but that government aspect still exists.<blockquote>即将到来的风险之一是禁售期结束，我将在下面谈到这一点。除此之外，我会看看政府的合同。是的，它们是最重要的，但这并不是说它们没有风险。Palantir过去曾表示，他们需要更多地关注商业客户，以帮助盈利并扭亏为盈（这是盈利抛售的部分原因）。正如我们所看到的，他们已经获得了一些大型商业客户，但政府方面仍然存在。</blockquote> Something to keep in mind as well is that dealing with the government can lead to crossing some lines that some are not okay with. As reported by the Washington Post,in 2018, more than 200 employees signed a letter to CEO Alex Karp, citing concerns over a partnership with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Multiple other big tech companies have been forced to cut ties with government agencies in the past over potential human rights violations.<blockquote>还要记住的是，与政府打交道可能会导致跨越一些人不同意的界限。据《华盛顿邮报》报道，2018年，200多名员工签署了一封致首席执行官亚历克斯·卡普的信，理由是对与移民和海关执法局合作的担忧。过去，其他多家大型科技公司因潜在侵犯人权而被迫切断与政府机构的联系。</blockquote> That said, I do really think the company will continue to do very well in the commercial sector and well reduce the overall government exposure overtime.<blockquote>也就是说，我确实认为该公司将继续在商业领域表现出色，并随着时间的推移减少整体政府风险。</blockquote> What's The \"Lock-Up Period\"?<blockquote>什么是“禁售期”？</blockquote> The one concern many have had with Palantir is the lock-up period, which ends on February 19th (Friday). Typically, this is where we will see the lows kick in on IPO's that go this route, but it is not always the case.<blockquote>许多人对Palantir的一个担忧是锁定期，锁定期将于2月19日（星期五）结束。通常情况下，这是我们会看到走这条路线的IPO出现低点的地方，但情况并非总是如此。</blockquote> Looking at 15 stocks that sawtheir lock-up periods expire in the first two weeks of October, the majority of shares started to fall in the days before the expiration date, prior to bouncing back three to five days afterwards. However, some saw virtually no selling pressure on the day and the share price immediately climbed once the lock-up had ended. What is it? Well in short, instead of an IPO where new shares of the company are created and are underwritten by an intermediary, we have a Direct Listing. This is wherethe business sells shares directly to the public without the help of any intermediaries. It does not involve any underwriters or other intermediaries, there are no new shares issued. This means the largest shareholders in the business can only freely sell their shares after the IPO lock-up expiration. Spotify (SPOT) and Slack (WORK) are two examples of companies that went the Direct Listing route. That said, neither of these companies had lock-up periods for employees.<blockquote>从10月前两周锁定期到期的15只股票来看，大多数股票在到期日前几天开始下跌，三到五天后反弹。然而，一些人当天几乎没有抛售压力，锁定结束后股价立即攀升。这是什么？简而言之，我们不是通过首次公开募股（IPO）来创建公司的新股并由中介机构承销，而是直接上市。这是企业直接向公众出售股票的方式，无需任何中介机构的帮助。不涉及任何承销商或其他中介机构，不存在发行新股的情况。这意味着该业务的最大股东只能在IPO禁售期到期后自由出售其股份。Spotify(SPOT)和Slack(WORK)是直接上市公司的两个例子。也就是说，这两家公司都没有员工锁定期。</blockquote> So what does this mean? Well, given thatMarketWatch said:<blockquote>那么这意味着什么呢？好吧，鉴于MarketWatch表示：</blockquote> For Palantir, though, years of venture-capital investments have created more than enough shares to launch public trading: roughly 1.64 billion, though that grows to 2.17 billion in a fully diluted formula that includes vesting options. It means that with roughly 497 million current outstanding shares, that we could see about 1.7 billion shares hit the market. Now that is not really likely, but what it does mean is that there should be less than average selling pressure on the stock considering the usually IPO accounts for 10% of shares released, while Palantir released over 20% based on the numbers provided above.<blockquote>不过，对于Palantir来说，多年的风险资本投资已经创造了足够的股票来启动公开交易：大约16.4亿股，尽管在包括归属期权在内的完全稀释公式中，这一数字将增长至21.7亿股。这意味着，目前流通股约为4.97亿股，我们可能会看到约17亿股上市。现在这种可能性不大，但这确实意味着，考虑到IPO通常占已发行股票的10%，而根据上面提供的数字，Palantir发行的股票超过20%，该股的抛售压力应该低于平均水平。</blockquote> Where are we now? Well as per the study quoted earlier, we are right on track. The stock is selling off in an orderly fashion right before the lock-up period ends. Now we have to wait and see what the rebound looks like. Or does everyone sell high and try and buy even lower? It is a bit of a wait-and-see. Let's take a look at what the technicals show us.<blockquote>我们现在在哪里？根据前面引用的研究，我们正走在正轨上。就在禁售期结束之前，该股正在有序抛售。现在我们必须拭目以待，看看反弹的情况如何。还是每个人都卖得很高，然后试图买得更低？这有点观望。让我们来看看技术向我们展示了什么。</blockquote> What Does The Price Say?<blockquote>价格怎么说？</blockquote> Taking a quick peek at the technicals, we can see a couple of really strong support levels. Firstly, we broke through a pretty big one at $30 today and did so in a big way, which is a bit concerning in the short term, but there is potential for a quick bounce to re-test that $30 mark quickly. If these markets have taught us anything, it's that they can move quickly! In a normal case, this is probably where my stop would be. But have not had a position until today, the game changes a bit as I take on more risk.<blockquote>快速浏览一下技术面，我们可以看到几个非常强大的支撑位。首先，我们今天突破了30美元的一个相当大的水平，而且是以一种很大的方式突破的，这在短期内有点令人担忧，但有可能快速反弹以迅速重新测试30美元大关。如果说这些市场教会了我们什么，那就是它们可以快速行动！在正常情况下，这可能是我的停留点。但是直到今天我才有了头寸，随着我承担更多的风险，游戏发生了一些变化。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6b568bf73db2c1b38aaa1546a10427dc\" tg-width=\"3837\" tg-height=\"1813\"><blockquote></blockquote> (Source: TC2000.com)<blockquote>（来源：TC2000.com）</blockquote> When a stock as popular as Palantir tanks like we saw today, one of two things happens. Either the dip gets bought up and this stock will fly back up to $40, or we see Palantir drop down to ~$23. Because the stock is so new, we really do not have a good gauge for support. Looking below we can see roughly where I am pulling $23 out of. This is a pretty substantial move from here yet. Would be about 20% to the downside. If $23 breaks, it could go even further south.<blockquote>当像Palantir这样受欢迎的股票像我们今天看到的那样下跌时，会发生两件事之一。要么逢低买入，这只股票将飞回40美元，要么我们看到Palantir跌至23美元左右。因为股票太新了，我们确实没有一个好的支撑指标。看下面，我们可以大致看到我从哪里提取了23美元。这是一个相当大的举措。大约会下降20%。如果突破23美元，它可能会进一步下跌。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3e3505c465c407b7387cbedf16a1b233\" tg-width=\"3840\" tg-height=\"1808\"><blockquote></blockquote> (Source: TC2000.com)<blockquote>（来源：TC2000.com）</blockquote> When trying to catch the bounce, you have to be prepared to average down. It is a totally different approach. Scale in, and scale-out.... all while knowing when to cut it loose. If you want to play this safe, watch for the bounce and try and get in then. I do think there will be a decent bounce that takes the stock back to $36-$40, but the question is when. This is not a long-term hold for me personally.<blockquote>当试图抓住反弹时，你必须做好平均下跌的准备。这是一种完全不同的方法。横向扩展和横向扩展....同时知道什么时候该放松。如果你想安全起见，留意反弹，然后试着进去。我确实认为该股会出现不错的反弹，回到36-40美元，但问题是什么时候。这对我个人来说不是长期持有的。</blockquote> Wrap-Up<blockquote>总结</blockquote> As you can see, there is a lot to like about the direction in which the company is headed. The valuation can always be debated, but at the end of the day, the value is whatever someone is willing to pay for it. Palantir is a revenue machine and it is not going to slow down. They are playing with the \"big fish\" and the revenue will follow as long as they can continue to deliver on their goals. I am currently long, but watching closely as the lock-up period ends this week. If you are going long, make sure to scale in over the next couple of days and place your bets for which way this goes next week. Stay safe out there!<blockquote>正如您所看到的，公司的发展方向有很多值得喜欢的地方。估值总是可以争论的，但归根结底，价值就是有人愿意为此付出的任何代价。Palantir是一台收入机器，而且不会放缓。他们在玩“大鱼”，只要他们能继续实现目标，收入就会随之而来。我目前做多，但密切关注本周禁售期结束。如果你打算做多，确保在接下来的几天里扩大规模，并为下周的走势下注。在外面注意安全！</blockquote>","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: Buy The Dip<blockquote>Palantir：买入底液</blockquote></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: 12.5px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;}\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: Buy The Dip<blockquote>Palantir：买入底液</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\nSeeking Alpha2021-02-19 14:59\n\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\nSummary<blockquote>总结</blockquote> <ul> <li>Palantir posted solid revenue, but missed on earnings.

This is a growth play, plain and simple. Looking below we can see what is forecasted down the pipe. The missing block is 2020, which we found out todaywas $1.1 billion. That is a ~47% increase year-over-year. Going forward, analysts are projecting the pace stays heavy at 35%+ per year revenue growth. Often we consider 20% being strong, so that makes this look really good. For the fourth quarter, the company posted $322.1 million in revenue for the quarter, which was a beat by 20%.<blockquote>收入。这是一部成长剧，简单明了。往下看，我们可以看到未来的预测。缺失的区块是2020年，我们今天发现是11亿美元。同比增长约47%。展望未来，分析师预计年收入增长率将保持在35%以上。通常我们认为20%是强的，所以这看起来真的很好。第四季度，该公司营收为3.221亿美元，增长20%。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2926257ca97794e55159ce8c6021a745\" tg-width=\"2978\" tg-height=\"992\"><blockquote></blockquote> (Source: TIKR.com)<blockquote>（来源：TIKR.com）</blockquote> The shock came from theloss per share which totaled $0.08 versus the positive $0.02 consensus. The stock fell over 12% today on the earnings news. Upon diving deeper, it would appear most investors were disappointed with the forward forecasts. I personally think they are sandbagging a bit to blow away consensus down the line, but time will tell how true that is. Based on everything the company had put out in terms of news, which is nicely outlined inJohn Rhodes article : Palantir: Potential Q4 Revenue Blowoutmost people expected the revenue beat, but the action in the stock over the last week showed otherwise.<blockquote>令人震惊的是每股亏损总计0.08美元，而市场普遍预期为0.02美元。受财报消息影响，该股今天下跌超过12%。深入研究后，大多数投资者似乎对前瞻性预测感到失望。我个人认为他们有点沙袋，以消除共识，但时间会证明这有多真实。根据该公司发布的所有新闻，约翰·罗兹(John Rhodes)的文章对此进行了很好的概述：Palantir：潜在的第四季度收入井喷大多数人预计收入会超出预期，但该股上周的表现却并非如此。</blockquote> Data has become more relevant to the average person than ever before. The local news has all kinds of data on it when it comes to COVID-19.In 2020, Palantir helped 100 commercial organizations and 10 national governments respond to COVID-19. This has been a large opportunity for Palantir, and they have not squandered it. This response has helped earn thema 2-year contract for U.K. health services work worth $31.5 million. In the fourth quarter alone, the company signed21 deals worth more than $5 million. 12 of which were worth $10 million or more. Revenue growth will continue to be the future of Palantir.<blockquote>数据变得比以往任何时候都更加与普通人相关。当地新闻有各种各样关于新冠肺炎的数据。2020年，Palantir帮助100家商业组织和10个国家政府应对COVID-19。这对Palantir来说是一个巨大的机会，他们并没有浪费它。这一回应帮助thema赢得了价值3150万美元的为期两年的英国卫生服务工作合同。仅在第四季度，该公司就签署了21笔价值超过500万美元的交易。其中12个价值1000万美元或以上。收入增长将继续是Palantir的未来。</blockquote> Some of the best business going is government business. For the year, Palantir saw56% of their revenue or $610 million come from government contracts. While the commercial side saw higher year-over-year growth at 107%, a 77% increase in government-based revenue isn't anything to laugh at. One of the more impressive pieces was that we saw happen with the average customer.Revenue increased by 41% year-over-year. Up to $7.9 million per customer from $5.6 million. This is an important metric to keep an eye on as customers hand more and more business over to Palantir as they continue to develop and improve their systems. The other factor playing into this is Palantir pulling larger customers into the fold. The new customers acquired in 2020, generated $42 million in revenue.<blockquote>一些最好的业务是政府业务。今年，Palantir 56%的收入（即6.1亿美元）来自政府合同。虽然商业方面的同比增长高达107%，但政府收入增长77%并不是什么可笑的事情。更令人印象深刻的一件事是我们在普通客户身上看到的情况。收入同比增长41%。每位客户从560万美元增至790万美元。随着客户继续开发和改进其系统，将越来越多的业务移交给Palantir，这是一个需要关注的重要指标。另一个因素是Palantir吸引了更大的客户。2020年获得的新客户创造了4200万美元的收入。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9284f5fd3e26d0c55fcd9b2f6355371e\" tg-width=\"1752\" tg-height=\"983\"><blockquote></blockquote> (Company Presentation)<blockquote>（公司介绍）</blockquote> So all of this and we still sit down 12% today? As I mentioned above, it was the forward forecasts that people were a bit shocked at. Palantir said toexpect revenue growth in excess of 30% for 2021. This would be fantastic news for most companies, but after you just posted a 47% growth year, it is a bit saddening. But as I said, I think they are sandbagging a bit. Analysts are still projecting about a 35% increase for 2021. Something tells me they will outdo that as the year goes on. The company did state that they are targeting $4 billion in revenue by 2025, which carrying 30% per year growth from here will get you. I fully expect that number to creep closer to $5 billion based on current projections. Palantir is going after the \"big fish\" across multiple industries.8 of their customers fall into the Fortune 100, and 12 of the Global 100. As their products continue to develop and improve, their bottom line is only going to get better. I think there is a lot of room to run here in the long term.<blockquote>所以所有这些，我们今天仍然坐在12%？正如我上面提到的，人们对前瞻性预测感到有点震惊。Palantir表示，预计2021年收入增长将超过30%。对于大多数公司来说，这将是一个好消息，但在您刚刚公布了47%的增长年度之后，这有点令人难过。但正如我所说，我认为他们有点沙袋。分析师仍预计2021年将增长约35%。直觉告诉我，随着时间的推移，他们会超越这一目标。该公司确实表示，他们的目标是到2025年实现40亿美元的收入，从现在开始每年增长30%。根据目前的预测，我完全预计这个数字将接近50亿美元。Palantir正在追逐多个行业的“大鱼”。他们的客户中有8家属于财富100强，12家属于全球100强。随着他们产品的不断开发和改进，他们的底线只会越来越好。我认为从长远来看，这里有很大的发展空间。</blockquote> What Are The Risks?<blockquote>有哪些风险？</blockquote> One of the up-and-coming risks is the lock-up period ending, which I will touch on below. Besides that, I will look at the government contracts. Yes, they are some of the most important, but that's not to say they come without risk. In the past, Palantir has said they need to focus more so on commercial customers to help the bottom line and to turn a profit (part of the reason for the earnings sell-off). As we can see, they have landed some big-time commercial clients, but that government aspect still exists.<blockquote>即将到来的风险之一是禁售期结束，我将在下面谈到这一点。除此之外，我会看看政府的合同。是的，它们是最重要的，但这并不是说它们没有风险。Palantir过去曾表示，他们需要更多地关注商业客户，以帮助盈利并扭亏为盈（这是盈利抛售的部分原因）。正如我们所看到的，他们已经获得了一些大型商业客户，但政府方面仍然存在。</blockquote> Something to keep in mind as well is that dealing with the government can lead to crossing some lines that some are not okay with. As reported by the Washington Post,in 2018, more than 200 employees signed a letter to CEO Alex Karp, citing concerns over a partnership with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Multiple other big tech companies have been forced to cut ties with government agencies in the past over potential human rights violations.<blockquote>还要记住的是，与政府打交道可能会导致跨越一些人不同意的界限。据《华盛顿邮报》报道，2018年，200多名员工签署了一封致首席执行官亚历克斯·卡普的信，理由是对与移民和海关执法局合作的担忧。过去，其他多家大型科技公司因潜在侵犯人权而被迫切断与政府机构的联系。</blockquote> That said, I do really think the company will continue to do very well in the commercial sector and well reduce the overall government exposure overtime.<blockquote>也就是说，我确实认为该公司将继续在商业领域表现出色，并随着时间的推移减少整体政府风险。</blockquote> What's The \"Lock-Up Period\"?<blockquote>什么是“禁售期”？</blockquote> The one concern many have had with Palantir is the lock-up period, which ends on February 19th (Friday). Typically, this is where we will see the lows kick in on IPO's that go this route, but it is not always the case.<blockquote>许多人对Palantir的一个担忧是锁定期，锁定期将于2月19日（星期五）结束。通常情况下，这是我们会看到走这条路线的IPO出现低点的地方，但情况并非总是如此。</blockquote> Looking at 15 stocks that sawtheir lock-up periods expire in the first two weeks of October, the majority of shares started to fall in the days before the expiration date, prior to bouncing back three to five days afterwards. However, some saw virtually no selling pressure on the day and the share price immediately climbed once the lock-up had ended. What is it? Well in short, instead of an IPO where new shares of the company are created and are underwritten by an intermediary, we have a Direct Listing. This is wherethe business sells shares directly to the public without the help of any intermediaries. It does not involve any underwriters or other intermediaries, there are no new shares issued. This means the largest shareholders in the business can only freely sell their shares after the IPO lock-up expiration. Spotify (SPOT) and Slack (WORK) are two examples of companies that went the Direct Listing route. That said, neither of these companies had lock-up periods for employees.<blockquote>从10月前两周锁定期到期的15只股票来看，大多数股票在到期日前几天开始下跌，三到五天后反弹。然而，一些人当天几乎没有抛售压力，锁定结束后股价立即攀升。这是什么？简而言之，我们不是通过首次公开募股（IPO）来创建公司的新股并由中介机构承销，而是直接上市。这是企业直接向公众出售股票的方式，无需任何中介机构的帮助。不涉及任何承销商或其他中介机构，不存在发行新股的情况。这意味着该业务的最大股东只能在IPO禁售期到期后自由出售其股份。Spotify(SPOT)和Slack(WORK)是直接上市公司的两个例子。也就是说，这两家公司都没有员工锁定期。</blockquote> So what does this mean? Well, given thatMarketWatch said:<blockquote>那么这意味着什么呢？好吧，鉴于MarketWatch表示：</blockquote> For Palantir, though, years of venture-capital investments have created more than enough shares to launch public trading: roughly 1.64 billion, though that grows to 2.17 billion in a fully diluted formula that includes vesting options. It means that with roughly 497 million current outstanding shares, that we could see about 1.7 billion shares hit the market. Now that is not really likely, but what it does mean is that there should be less than average selling pressure on the stock considering the usually IPO accounts for 10% of shares released, while Palantir released over 20% based on the numbers provided above.<blockquote>不过，对于Palantir来说，多年的风险资本投资已经创造了足够的股票来启动公开交易：大约16.4亿股，尽管在包括归属期权在内的完全稀释公式中，这一数字将增长至21.7亿股。这意味着，目前流通股约为4.97亿股，我们可能会看到约17亿股上市。现在这种可能性不大，但这确实意味着，考虑到IPO通常占已发行股票的10%，而根据上面提供的数字，Palantir发行的股票超过20%，该股的抛售压力应该低于平均水平。</blockquote> Where are we now? Well as per the study quoted earlier, we are right on track. The stock is selling off in an orderly fashion right before the lock-up period ends. Now we have to wait and see what the rebound looks like. Or does everyone sell high and try and buy even lower? It is a bit of a wait-and-see. Let's take a look at what the technicals show us.<blockquote>我们现在在哪里？根据前面引用的研究，我们正走在正轨上。就在禁售期结束之前，该股正在有序抛售。现在我们必须拭目以待，看看反弹的情况如何。还是每个人都卖得很高，然后试图买得更低？这有点观望。让我们来看看技术向我们展示了什么。</blockquote> What Does The Price Say?<blockquote>价格怎么说？</blockquote> Taking a quick peek at the technicals, we can see a couple of really strong support levels. Firstly, we broke through a pretty big one at $30 today and did so in a big way, which is a bit concerning in the short term, but there is potential for a quick bounce to re-test that $30 mark quickly. If these markets have taught us anything, it's that they can move quickly! In a normal case, this is probably where my stop would be. But have not had a position until today, the game changes a bit as I take on more risk.<blockquote>快速浏览一下技术面，我们可以看到几个非常强大的支撑位。首先，我们今天突破了30美元的一个相当大的水平，而且是以一种很大的方式突破的，这在短期内有点令人担忧，但有可能快速反弹以迅速重新测试30美元大关。如果说这些市场教会了我们什么，那就是它们可以快速行动！在正常情况下，这可能是我的停留点。但是直到今天我才有了头寸，随着我承担更多的风险，游戏发生了一些变化。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6b568bf73db2c1b38aaa1546a10427dc\" tg-width=\"3837\" tg-height=\"1813\"><blockquote></blockquote> (Source: TC2000.com)<blockquote>（来源：TC2000.com）</blockquote> When a stock as popular as Palantir tanks like we saw today, one of two things happens. Either the dip gets bought up and this stock will fly back up to $40, or we see Palantir drop down to ~$23. Because the stock is so new, we really do not have a good gauge for support. Looking below we can see roughly where I am pulling $23 out of. This is a pretty substantial move from here yet. Would be about 20% to the downside. If $23 breaks, it could go even further south.<blockquote>当像Palantir这样受欢迎的股票像我们今天看到的那样下跌时，会发生两件事之一。要么逢低买入，这只股票将飞回40美元，要么我们看到Palantir跌至23美元左右。因为股票太新了，我们确实没有一个好的支撑指标。看下面，我们可以大致看到我从哪里提取了23美元。这是一个相当大的举措。大约会下降20%。如果突破23美元，它可能会进一步下跌。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3e3505c465c407b7387cbedf16a1b233\" tg-width=\"3840\" tg-height=\"1808\"><blockquote></blockquote> (Source: TC2000.com)<blockquote>（来源：TC2000.com）</blockquote> When trying to catch the bounce, you have to be prepared to average down. It is a totally different approach. Scale in, and scale-out.... all while knowing when to cut it loose. If you want to play this safe, watch for the bounce and try and get in then. I do think there will be a decent bounce that takes the stock back to $36-$40, but the question is when. This is not a long-term hold for me personally.<blockquote>当试图抓住反弹时，你必须做好平均下跌的准备。这是一种完全不同的方法。横向扩展和横向扩展....同时知道什么时候该放松。如果你想安全起见，留意反弹，然后试着进去。我确实认为该股会出现不错的反弹，回到36-40美元，但问题是什么时候。这对我个人来说不是长期持有的。</blockquote> Wrap-Up<blockquote>总结</blockquote> As you can see, there is a lot to like about the direction in which the company is headed. The valuation can always be debated, but at the end of the day, the value is whatever someone is willing to pay for it. Palantir is a revenue machine and it is not going to slow down. They are playing with the \"big fish\" and the revenue will follow as long as they can continue to deliver on their goals. I am currently long, but watching closely as the lock-up period ends this week. If you are going long, make sure to scale in over the next couple of days and place your bets for which way this goes next week. Stay safe out there!<blockquote>正如您所看到的，公司的发展方向有很多值得喜欢的地方。估值总是可以争论的，但归根结底，价值就是有人愿意为此付出的任何代价。Palantir是一台收入机器，而且不会放缓。他们在玩“大鱼”，只要他们能继续实现目标，收入就会随之而来。我目前做多，但密切关注本周禁售期结束。如果你打算做多，确保在接下来的几天里扩大规模，并为下周的走势下注。在外面注意安全！</blockquote>\n<div class=\"bt-text\">\n\n\n 来源：<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4406809-palantir-buy-the-dip\">Seeking Alpha</a>\n为提升您的阅读体验，我们对本页面进行了排版优化\n\n\n</div>\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"PLTR":"Palantir Technologies Inc."},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4406809-palantir-buy-the-dip","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1100960455","content_text":"Summary\n\nPalantir posted solid revenue, but missed on earnings.

Some investors were expecting the company was expected to release blowout earnings today and fell short of that. The company did post incredible revenue growth, and the path forward looks bright as well. However, investors were disappointed with just how bright that picture is according to the company. The stock is falling leading up to the end of the lock-up period as expected. Next week will tell a better story as to where this stock is headed. If you are feeling risky, jump aboard.\nWho Are They?\nIf you are like me, you likely had no idea who this company was or what they did. Well, Palantir Technologies Inc. has been around since 2003 and is headquartered in Denver, Colorado. In short,they build and deploy software platforms for the intelligence community in the USA to assist in counterterrorism investigations and operations.\nPalantir Gothamis a software program that identifies patterns hidden deep within datasets. This helps execute real-world responses to threats that have been identified within the platform. This was used in the efforts to help those in need in hurricane Florence in 2018.
