Our analysis shows that Palantir is extremely overvalued at the current levels and several issues are likely going to prevent its stock from appreciating further anytime soon. For that reason, we continue to believe that it’s better to avoid Palantir at the current price, as its upside appears to be limited.</p><p><blockquote>Palantir（PLTR）最近几周的表现一直逊于市场，我们认为其股价仍有更大的下跌空间。我们的分析表明，Palantir在目前的水平上被严重高估，一些问题可能会阻止其股票在短期内进一步升值。因此，我们仍然认为最好以当前价格避开Palantir，因为其上涨空间似乎有限。</blockquote></p><p> <b>There Are Several Red Flags, Which You Shouldn’t Ignore</b></p><p><blockquote><b>有几个危险信号，你不应该忽视</b></blockquote></p><p> Palantir specializes in creating custom software solutions for collecting data for its clients, who are mostly government agencies and public companies. While some might think that Palantir is a young company with lots of potential, the reality is that it’s not a startup, as it has been in the business for almost two decades already, and since that time it has managed to add less than 200 customers. As a result, the company is exposed to a limited pool of organizations, who generate most of the revenues. This is mostly because Palantir doesn’t have a scalable business. The value of the company’s average contract ranges from $5 million to $6 million, which prevents small and medium businesses from using its services. While Palantir tries to tackle this issue by offering its Foundry platform for the commercial sector at attractive terms, it’s still too soon to tell whether it will improve its affordability to most of the third parties and have any major impact on its financials in the long run.</p><p><blockquote>Palantir专门为其客户创建用于收集数据的定制软件解决方案，这些客户大多是政府机构和上市公司。虽然有些人可能认为Palantir是一家具有巨大潜力的年轻公司，但事实是它并不是一家初创公司，因为它已经经营了近二十年，从那时起，它已经设法增加了不到200个客户。因此，该公司接触到的组织数量有限，而这些组织创造了大部分收入。这主要是因为Palantir没有可扩展的业务。该公司的平均合同价值从500万美元到600万美元不等，这使得中小型企业无法使用其服务。虽然Palantir试图通过以有吸引力的条款为商业领域提供代工平台来解决这一问题，但现在判断它是否会提高大多数第三方的承受能力并从长远来看对其财务状况产生任何重大影响还为时过早。</blockquote></p><p> In addition, while bulls might want to deny this, but Palantir operates like a consulting company. The company has a special position of a forward-deployed engineer, who analyzes different processes of potential clients and then explains how Palantir’s software could help them improve their operations. Considering this, it’s safe to say that Palantir doesn’t have a unique business model since its whole proposition is that it can analyze the available data better than others. However, nothing stops new entrants from entering the field and offering similar solutions, and nothing stops organizations' internal IT departments from developing better tools to analyze all of the processes at a more affordable price.</p><p><blockquote>此外，虽然多头可能想否认这一点，但Palantir的运营方式就像一家咨询公司。该公司有一个特殊的职位，即前沿部署工程师，他分析潜在客户的不同流程，然后解释Palantir的软件如何帮助他们改善运营。考虑到这一点，可以肯定地说Palantir没有独特的商业模式，因为它的整个主张是它可以比其他人更好地分析可用数据。然而，没有什么能阻止新进入者进入该领域并提供类似的解决方案，也没有什么能阻止组织的内部IT部门开发更好的工具，以更实惠的价格分析所有流程。</blockquote></p><p> Another downside of Palantir is that despite the increase in margins and gross profit in recent quarters, it never made a profit in its history after being so long in the business. Its operating loss has onlywidenedin recent years from -$600 million in 2018 to -$1.17 billion in 2020, to -$1.22 billion in the last twelve months. This is due to the excessive stock-based compensation program that results in increased expenses and massive dilution, which is something that a lot of bulls tend to ignore. Let’s not forget that the company’s expenses relating to the SBC program increased by around 257% year over year last quarter and were $193 million. At the same time, Palantir already has 1.8 billion shares outstanding, an increase from 1.52 billion shares, which were outstanding at the end of last year. The problem is that the excessive SBC program will continue to be a major issue for the company’s investors since there are still 477 million optionsoutstanding, which will dilute the current shareholders by more than 20% if fully exercised.</p><p><blockquote>Palantir的另一个缺点是，尽管最近几个季度利润率和毛利润有所增加，但在从事该业务这么长时间后，它在历史上从未盈利过。近年来，其运营亏损仅从2018年的-6亿美元扩大到2020年的-11.7亿美元，并在过去12个月扩大到-12.2亿美元。这是由于过度的股票薪酬计划导致费用增加和大规模稀释，这是许多多头往往忽视的。我们不要忘记，该公司上季度与SBC计划相关的费用同比增长了约257%，达到1.93亿美元。与此同时，Palantir已拥有18亿股流通股，较去年年底的15.2亿股有所增加。问题是，过度的SBC计划将继续成为公司投资者的一个主要问题，因为仍有4.77亿份期权尚未行使，如果完全行使，将使现有股东稀释20%以上。</blockquote></p><p> For that reason, we continue to believe that Palantir’s stock will continue to be an unattractive investment and it’ll likely continue to underperform the market. It’s already down ~15% since our bearisharticlewas published a month ago and we believe that there’s more room for a depreciation.</p><p><blockquote>因此，我们仍然认为Palantir的股票将继续是一项没有吸引力的投资，并且可能会继续跑输市场。自一个月前我们的看跌文章发表以来，它已经下跌了约15%，我们认为还有更大的贬值空间。</blockquote></p><p> <p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/facca499bd702a4193cac4eabbe4a9a2\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"443\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Chart: Seeking Alpha</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>图表：寻求阿尔法</span></p></blockquote></p><p></p><p> Another reason to be bearish about Palantir is due to the fact that there’s an extreme selling pressure, which is created by the company’s insiders and its CEO in particular, who are constantly dumping their shares on an open market. In July alone insiderssoldin total $63 million worth of Palantir shares, which is only $31 million slightly less than what they sold in Q1 when the lockup period expired. Considering this and the fact that they still have ~10% ownership stake in the company, it’s safe to assume they’ll continue to sell their shares and create an even greater selling pressure, which is likely going to prevent the stock from significantly appreciating from the current levels.</p><p><blockquote>看跌Palantir的另一个原因是存在巨大的抛售压力，这是由公司内部人士，尤其是首席执行官造成的，他们不断在公开市场上抛售股票。仅在7月份，内部人士就出售了总价值6300万美元的Palantir股票，仅比第一季度禁售期到期时出售的股票略少3100万美元。考虑到这一点以及他们仍持有该公司约10%的股权这一事实，可以肯定的是，他们将继续出售股票并造成更大的抛售压力，这可能会阻止该股大幅升值从当前水平。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Valuation</b></p><p><blockquote><b>估值</b></blockquote></p><p> We created a discounted cash flow model to find Palantir’s fair value. The weighted average cost of capital in our model is 6%, while the terminal growth rate is 3%.</p><p><blockquote>我们创建了一个贴现现金流模型来查找Palantir的公允价值。我们模型中的加权平均资本成本为6%，而终端增长率为3%。</blockquote></p><p> <p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bb588ed877784db58cfe10b7d49d6dae\" tg-width=\"772\" tg-height=\"390\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: Capital IQ, Own estimates</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>资料来源：Capital IQ，自己的估计</span></p></blockquote></p><p> After doing all the necessary calculations, our DCF model showed that Palantir’s fair value is $8.47 per share, which represents a downside of over 60% from the current market price.</p><p><blockquote>在进行所有必要的计算后，我们的DCF模型显示Palantir的公允价值为每股8.47美元，较当前市场价格下跌超过60%。</blockquote></p><p> <p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9988abd16861dfad80d5febd22b2c1fb\" tg-width=\"404\" tg-height=\"368\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: Own estimates</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>资料来源：自己的估计</span></p></blockquote></p><p> For relative valuation, we compared Palantir to eight other companies from the tech industry and the SaaS niche in particular. By looking at the numbers below, we could safely say that Palantir is extremely overvalued to others, especially since its EBITDA margin of -72.8% is the worst among its peers, and at a market cap of ~$40 billion, its stock is overpriced.</p><p><blockquote>对于相对估值，我们将Palantir与来自科技行业，特别是SaaS利基市场的其他八家公司进行了比较。通过查看下面的数字，我们可以有把握地说，Palantir对其他人来说被严重高估，特别是因为其EBITDA利润率为-72.8%，是同行中最差的，而且市值约为400亿美元，其股票定价过高。</blockquote></p><p> <p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/70de8f9f7b52ae29d77492ed21083982\" tg-width=\"751\" tg-height=\"335\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: Capital IQ</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>资料来源：Capital IQ</span></p></blockquote></p><p> By consolidating the DCF model and the relative valuation method and giving the former 75% weight in the final analysis, while giving the latter 25$ weight in the final analysis, we concluded that Palantir’s final fair value is $8.22 per share, which is significantly below its current market price of ~$22 per share.</p><p><blockquote>通过合并DCF模型和相对估值法，并在最终分析中给予前者75%的权重，而在最终分析中给予后者25美元的权重，我们得出的结论是，Palantir的最终公允价值为每股8.22美元，明显低于其目前的市场价格约为每股22美元。</blockquote></p><p> <p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/05db90bdfb26c691331c9cdede01a87b\" tg-width=\"595\" tg-height=\"297\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: Own estimates</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>资料来源：自己的估计</span></p></blockquote></p><p> <b>Takeaway</b></p><p><blockquote><b>外卖</b></blockquote></p><p> Despite its advanced data software solutions, Palantir continues to be an unattractive investment in our opinion and its stock is unlikely to move significantly higher anytime soon. The company doesn’t have a unique proposition at an affordable price on the market and there’s every reason to believe that its expenses will continue to increase in the following years due to the higher inflation and increased competition, while its bottom line will continue to suffer. As a result, despite signing new multi-million contracts from time to time, it’s still hard to justify its ~$40 billion market cap. Considering this, we strongly believe that Palantir is not a value investment at this stage, and not a growth play as well since the dilution risk and the continuous selling pressure are likely going to prevent the appreciation of its stock anytime soon.</p><p><blockquote>尽管Palantir拥有先进的数据软件解决方案，但我们认为Palantir仍然是一项没有吸引力的投资，其股价不太可能很快大幅走高。该公司在市场上没有一个价格实惠的独特主张，而且有充分的理由相信，由于通胀上升和竞争加剧，其费用在未来几年将继续增加，而其利润将继续下降。遭受。因此，尽管不时签署数百万美元的新合同，但仍然很难证明其约400亿美元的市值是合理的。考虑到这一点，我们坚信Palantir现阶段不是价值投资，也不是成长型投资，因为稀释风险和持续的抛售压力可能会很快阻止其股票升值。</blockquote></p><p> While we don’t expect the stock to depreciate to its fair value of $8.22 per share in the foreseeable future, a decent decline from the current market price is more than possible, especially since the company already trades at 28 times its revenues and is considered to be overvalued. For that reason, we stick to our opinion that Palantir’s upside appears to be limited and its future growth is already priced in.</p><p><blockquote>虽然我们预计该股在可预见的未来不会贬值至每股8.22美元的公允价值，但较当前市场价格大幅下跌的可能性很大，特别是因为该公司的交易价格已经是其收入的28倍，并且被认为被高估了。因此，我们坚持认为Palantir的上涨空间似乎有限，其未来增长已经被消化。</blockquote></p><p></p>","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: Prepare To Be Disappointed<blockquote>Palantir：做好失望的准备</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: Prepare To Be Disappointed<blockquote>Palantir：做好失望的准备</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n<p class=\"head\">\n<strong class=\"h-name small\">seekingalpha</strong><span class=\"h-time small\">2021-07-27 15:23</span>\n</p>\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\n<p><b>Summary</b></p><p><blockquote><b>总结</b></blockquote></p><p> <ul> <li>We continue to believe that Palantir’s upside appears to be limited and its future growth is already priced in.</li> <li>Our analysis shows that Palantir’s fair value is $8.22 per share, which represents a downside of over 60% from the current market price.</li> <li>The dilution risk and the continuous selling pressure are likely going to prevent the appreciation of Palantir’s stock anytime soon.</li> </ul> <p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4ce2494cb75075c64622ebd6b351e43d\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"1155\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Kevin Dietsch/Getty Images News</span></p><p><blockquote><ul><li>我们仍然认为Palantir的上涨空间似乎有限，其未来的增长已经被消化。</li><li>我们的分析显示，Palantir的公允价值为每股8.22美元，较当前市场价格下跌超过60%。</li><li>稀释风险和持续的抛售压力可能会很快阻止Palantir股票的升值。</li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>凯文·迪奇/盖蒂图片社新闻</span></p></blockquote></p><p> Palantir (PLTR) has been underperforming the market in recent weeks and we believe that its stock still has more room to fall.

Our analysis shows that Palantir is extremely overvalued at the current levels and several issues are likely going to prevent its stock from appreciating further anytime soon. For that reason, we continue to believe that it’s better to avoid Palantir at the current price, as its upside appears to be limited.\nThere Are Several Red Flags, Which You Shouldn’t Ignore\nPalantir specializes in creating custom software solutions for collecting data for its clients, who are mostly government agencies and public companies. While some might think that Palantir is a young company with lots of potential, the reality is that it’s not a startup, as it has been in the business for almost two decades already, and since that time it has managed to add less than 200 customers. As a result, the company is exposed to a limited pool of organizations, who generate most of the revenues. This is mostly because Palantir doesn’t have a scalable business. The value of the company’s average contract ranges from $5 million to $6 million, which prevents small and medium businesses from using its services. While Palantir tries to tackle this issue by offering its Foundry platform for the commercial sector at attractive terms, it’s still too soon to tell whether it will improve its affordability to most of the third parties and have any major impact on its financials in the long run.\nIn addition, while bulls might want to deny this, but Palantir operates like a consulting company. The company has a special position of a forward-deployed engineer, who analyzes different processes of potential clients and then explains how Palantir’s software could help them improve their operations. Considering this, it’s safe to say that Palantir doesn’t have a unique business model since its whole proposition is that it can analyze the available data better than others. However, nothing stops new entrants from entering the field and offering similar solutions, and nothing stops organizations' internal IT departments from developing better tools to analyze all of the processes at a more affordable price.\nAnother downside of Palantir is that despite the increase in margins and gross profit in recent quarters, it never made a profit in its history after being so long in the business. Its operating loss has onlywidenedin recent years from -$600 million in 2018 to -$1.17 billion in 2020, to -$1.22 billion in the last twelve months. This is due to the excessive stock-based compensation program that results in increased expenses and massive dilution, which is something that a lot of bulls tend to ignore. Let’s not forget that the company’s expenses relating to the SBC program increased by around 257% year over year last quarter and were $193 million. At the same time, Palantir already has 1.8 billion shares outstanding, an increase from 1.52 billion shares, which were outstanding at the end of last year. The problem is that the excessive SBC program will continue to be a major issue for the company’s investors since there are still 477 million optionsoutstanding, which will dilute the current shareholders by more than 20% if fully exercised.\nFor that reason, we continue to believe that Palantir’s stock will continue to be an unattractive investment and it’ll likely continue to underperform the market. It’s already down ~15% since our bearisharticlewas published a month ago and we believe that there’s more room for a depreciation.\nChart: Seeking Alpha\nAnother reason to be bearish about Palantir is due to the fact that there’s an extreme selling pressure, which is created by the company’s insiders and its CEO in particular, who are constantly dumping their shares on an open market. In July alone insiderssoldin total $63 million worth of Palantir shares, which is only $31 million slightly less than what they sold in Q1 when the lockup period expired. Considering this and the fact that they still have ~10% ownership stake in the company, it’s safe to assume they’ll continue to sell their shares and create an even greater selling pressure, which is likely going to prevent the stock from significantly appreciating from the current levels.\nValuation\nWe created a discounted cash flow model to find Palantir’s fair value.
