In this report, we&#39;ll pit Lucid Group, Inc. (LCID) and NIO Inc. (NIO) against each other - two of the most interesting EV players that combine strong brands and high-end technological capabilities. In this report, we&#39;ll take a deeper dive into the tech and product side and will look at individual risks for both companies. Overall, I do believe that NIO is the more attractive choice among these two at current prices.</p><p><b>Lucid And NIO In The EV Market</b></p><p>The global EV market has been growing rapidly, with EV sales likely coming in a little north of six million, which is roughly twice as high as during the previous year. Clearly, EVs are a huge growth sector in the global automobile market, although it should be noted that most vehicles sold around the world are still powered by internal combustion engines. Over the years, EV market share should continue to climb rapidly, but it is not looking like EVs will dominate ICE vehicles any time soon.</p><p>The market leaders in the EV space are Tesla and BYD (OTCPK:BYDDY), and, depending on how one counts plug-in hybrids, Volkswagen (OTCPK:VWAGY). NIO Inc. and Lucid Group, Inc. are not among the largest companies for now. NIO is selling around 11,000 vehicles a month right now, which translates into a ~130,000 annual sales pace. Sales have been growing quickly, however, which is why NIO will most likely sell more than 130,000 vehicles next year, as deliveries should continue to climb sequentially. Lucid is way smaller for now, in terms of deliveries, as the company has likely sold a couple of hundred vehicles this year. Next year, Lucid Group targets deliveries of around 20,000 vehicles - up by a lot versus 2021, but still a relatively small number compared to the deliveries NIO and many other peers will hit next year.</p><p><b>LCID Vs. NIO&#39;s Past Quarterly Performance</b></p><p>As noted above, NIO&#39;s sales performance was way stronger than that of Lucid over the last three months, but that was hardly a surprise as LCID just began delivering vehicles to customers. On a share price basis, however, Lucid fared better:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a7a6e7cb1b1485f32cc25ade9f387a5b\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"433\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>Over the last three months, LCID is up close to 50%, whereas NIO saw its shares drop by close to 20% over the same time frame. In NIO&#39;s case, macro worries about Chinese regulation played a role, whereas LCID benefitted a lot from growing enthusiasm for US-based EV players caused by Rivian&#39;s (RIVN) huge IPO success. On top of that, the start of deliveries also attracted new investors to Lucid&#39;s stock. If analysts are correct, NIO is the much better value today:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0b1d0939d657b284e25d8447ccb211b5\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"481\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>Shares are trading at less than half the consensus price target, which implies 100%+ upside over the next year, whereas LCID is trading almost perfectly in line with the current consensus price target - which implies no upside over the next year. NIO&#39;s underperformance over the last quarter thus seems to position the company well for a strong performance from the current level, whereas the same can&#39;t be said about Lucid.</p><p><b>Lucid Vs. NIO Key Metrics</b></p><p>Let&#39;s take a deeper look at the tech of the two companies, as well as at their branding, and their specific key risks. Both NIO and Lucid are active in the high-end segment of the EV industry, selling vehicles with ASPs well north of the average Tesla. NIO&#39;s ASP is around $70,000, and Lucid&#39;s ASP is even higher than that for now, as the company is selling the most expensive Air<i>Dream</i>version first. Tesla, the current EV leader, has an ASP of around $50,000. Both NIO and Tesla are thus operating in a more luxurious, higher-end segment of the market compared to Tesla. How are these companies able to demand way higher ASPs than Tesla? There are several factors at play, including branding, but one of the most important factors is their great tech.</p><p>NIO&#39;s battery-swapping technology, for example, allows its customers to fully &#34;recharge&#34; in a couple of minutes, while most other EVs take way longer to fully charge. Lucid doesn&#39;t employ battery-swapping, but its racing-tested 900V technology allows for both a huge range as well as for fast charging speeds - Lucid&#39;s architecture allows customers to charge up to 300 miles worth of energy in just 20 minutes. The Tesla S, for reference, uses a ~400V architecture that allows customers to recharge 200 miles in 15 minutes. Clearly, both NIO&#39;s solution, as well as Lucid&#39;s solution, seem superior compared to what Tesla is offering.</p><p>NIO&#39;s and Lucid&#39;s tech also looks highly competitive when it comes to their respective batteries. The Lucid Air Dream has an EPA range of 520 miles, which should be sufficient for almost all use cases. NIO has a larger product portfolio compared to Lucid, but when we take a look at its top-end sedan, battery performance looks even better. The NIO ET7, with a 150kWh battery (smaller options are available, too), has a range of up to 1,000km, which equates to around 620 miles of range. Again, both NIO and Lucid perform well compared to Tesla - the flagship S Plaid has an EPA range of 350 miles. Thanks to its experience in developing and supplying racing engines for electric race cars, Lucid crafts an especially efficient engine:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/edf92a9709beceb826f2e86b3bc25dd6\" tg-width=\"1502\" tg-height=\"829\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Source: Lucid presentation</span></p><p>A smaller, more efficient engine results in lower resource usage and reduces the weight of the vehicle, all else equal. This does, in turn, lead to a longer range, and it also allows for better handling and driving performance, all else equal. Lucid is by far not the biggest EV player today, but its engineers have developed some of the most compelling products and solutions among all currently active EV players.</p><p>NIO puts a lot of focus on technologies that will eventually allow for autonomous driving and puts massive numbers of sensors and huge computing power in its vehicles today. The ET7 uses the following sensing units for that goal:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b39530a306d0b27d76d36bccec0e147d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"331\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Source: NIO</span></p><p>With 33 sensors that use up to 8MP, NIO&#39;s sensing capabilities easily blow away those of Tesla. The Tesla Model 3, which is, according to CEO Musk, ready for full-self-driving, only uses 8 cameras with 1.2MP each. One of NIO&#39;s sensors in the ET7 thus has almost as much sensing performance as all of the cameras in the M3 combined - and NIO uses 32 additional sensors in its model. Clearly, NIO&#39;s offering is superior - and that obviously comes at a price, as NIO is not skimping when it comes to putting the best tech in its vehicles. This is also showcased by the massive processing power of the chips NIO uses in the ET7. The ET7 uses four NVIDIA (NVDA) Orin SoCs, each of which offers slightly more than 250 trillion operations per second, which makes for combined computing power of more than 1,000 TOPS - unheard of in any production vehicle. Using four SoCs at the same time also provides for the redundancy that is required for critical systems in a self-driving scenario. it should be noted that NIO&#39;s self-driving tech is not as excellent on the software side - yet. At least for now, peers such as XPeng (XPEV) seem to employ the stronger algorithms, but that is a problem that NIO can solve over the coming quarters and years, and integrating future software in its vehicles that come with top-notch hardware shouldn&#39;t be a very difficult task. Lucid&#39;s self-driving tech, even though it doesn&#39;t get a lot of recognition yet, is not looking bad at all, either. The DreamDrive suite utilizes 32 onboard sensors, almost on par with NIO&#39;s Aquila system (and 4x more sensors compared to the M3, which is allegedly L5 ready from a hardware perspective).</p><p>Strong tech alone doesn&#39;t make for an attractive vehicle, however, as design, manufacturing quality, etc. have to be considered as well. Luckily, both NIO and Lucid compete very well on that basis, although the data on Lucid is still limited due to the low sales numbers - not too many people have driven a Lucid Air yet, thus data about reliability, etc. is limited. NIO, however, has been selling thousands of vehicles a month for quite some time, and its users are very satisfied with the vehicles&#39; quality. CnTechPost reports that J.D. Power has rated NIO the highest-quality EV company in China, ahead of Tesla. Lucid is not active in the country yet, but test drives by a wide range of auto journalists and magazines have generally resulted in very positive reviews. Both NIO and Lucid thus look strong from a design, quality, and tech perspective, with NIO putting more focus on customer-friendly items such as battery-swapping and driving assistance, whereas Lucid puts more focus on engine performance, battery tech, etc. Both avenues have their advantages, but I personally could see NIO benefit more from its easy-to-use, customer-friendly approach, as not too many people will buy an EV based on criteria such as the battery architecture. Still, Lucid&#39;s ability to develop high-performing vehicles should come in very handy in the highly competitive EV industry going forward.</p><p>With NIO, the main risk the market seems to worry about now is regulation/politics. I personally do not believe that regulation will be a huge risk for NIO. Chinese companies never were able to compete successfully in the ICE vehicle space, but with EV technologies bringing change to the entire global automobile industry, China saw its chance to become a global automobile powerhouse. Hurting NIO and other Chinese EV players would run contrary to those goals, which is why I believe that China is more interested in nurturing its own EV players, including NIO, instead of hurting them. Still, the market puts a discount on every Chinese company today, and that holds true for NIO as well - which might be a good thing for those seeking to buy into the company at a below-average valuation.</p><p>For Lucid, regulation doesn&#39;t seem like an important risk. Instead, the main risks here are the high valuation and the production ramp. As Tesla has shown, ramping up vehicle production is no easy task. The company oftentimes had to battle with delays and other issues, sometimes summarized as &#34;Production Hell&#34;. The same could hold true for Lucid, which will have to ramp up production at a high speed in the coming months and quarters in order to meet its ambitious production goals. It&#39;s not a certainty that it will experience similar issues to other manufacturers, of course, but due to a lack of experience, this seems a considerable risk worth keeping an eye on. On top of that, LCID&#39;s high valuation could be a considerable risk - shares trade at around 30x next year&#39;s expected revenue, and there is no guarantee at all that those revenues will actually be generated.</p><p><b>Is Lucid Or NIO Stock The Better Buy?</b></p><p>Both NIO and Lucid have attractive products that seem highly competitive in the EV market that is seeing more and more entrants. I do believe that both companies will have operational success over the coming years, driven by strong tech, attractive brands, and compelling product quality. Operational growth does not necessarily result in share price growth, however, as valuations can be a major hurdle when one buys at a price that is too high.</p><p>In NIO&#39;s case, that does not seem like an overly large risk, as shares are inexpensive relative to how other EV players are valued - NIO trades at ~4x next year&#39;s expected revenue, which represents a clear discount compared to LCID, RIVN, TSLA, and so on. Lucid, on the other hand, is trading at a very premium valuation of 30x next year&#39;s sales.</p><p>I do believe that, based on its larger size, more established operations, better progress in ramping production, and due to its much more reasonable valuation, NIO is the better pick among these two today.The recent share price decline makes for an attractive entry point for those interested in owning this top-notch Chinese EV player.</p></body></html>","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>Lucid Vs.

Owning strong brands or tech will be important for companies to differentiate themselves from others.Both NIO and LCID have strong brands and great tech, which allow them to demand high ASPs.NIO seems like the lower-risk choice among these two, and due to being a lot farther along from a production ramp perspective, it is, I believe, the better choice today.Trygve Finkelsen/iStock Editorial via Getty ImagesArticle ThesisThe EV space has brought up many companies that do not seem too viable in the long run, but there are also strong contenders apart from Tesla (TSLA). In this report, we'll pit Lucid Group, Inc. (LCID) and NIO Inc. (NIO) against each other - two of the most interesting EV players that combine strong brands and high-end technological capabilities. In this report, we'll take a deeper dive into the tech and product side and will look at individual risks for both companies. Overall, I do believe that NIO is the more attractive choice among these two at current prices.Lucid And NIO In The EV MarketThe global EV market has been growing rapidly, with EV sales likely coming in a little north of six million, which is roughly twice as high as during the previous year. Clearly, EVs are a huge growth sector in the global automobile market, although it should be noted that most vehicles sold around the world are still powered by internal combustion engines. Over the years, EV market share should continue to climb rapidly, but it is not looking like EVs will dominate ICE vehicles any time soon.The market leaders in the EV space are Tesla and BYD (OTCPK:BYDDY), and, depending on how one counts plug-in hybrids, Volkswagen (OTCPK:VWAGY). NIO Inc. and Lucid Group, Inc. are not among the largest companies for now. NIO is selling around 11,000 vehicles a month right now, which translates into a ~130,000 annual sales pace. Sales have been growing quickly, however, which is why NIO will most likely sell more than 130,000 vehicles next year, as deliveries should continue to climb sequentially. Lucid is way smaller for now, in terms of deliveries, as the company has likely sold a couple of hundred vehicles this year. Next year, Lucid Group targets deliveries of around 20,000 vehicles - up by a lot versus 2021, but still a relatively small number compared to the deliveries NIO and many other peers will hit next year.LCID Vs. NIO's Past Quarterly PerformanceAs noted above, NIO's sales performance was way stronger than that of Lucid over the last three months, but that was hardly a surprise as LCID just began delivering vehicles to customers. On a share price basis, however, Lucid fared better:Data by YChartsOver the last three months, LCID is up close to 50%, whereas NIO saw its shares drop by close to 20% over the same time frame. In NIO's case, macro worries about Chinese regulation played a role, whereas LCID benefitted a lot from growing enthusiasm for US-based EV players caused by Rivian's (RIVN) huge IPO success. On top of that, the start of deliveries also attracted new investors to Lucid's stock. If analysts are correct, NIO is the much better value today:Data by YChartsShares are trading at less than half the consensus price target, which implies 100%+ upside over the next year, whereas LCID is trading almost perfectly in line with the current consensus price target - which implies no upside over the next year. NIO's underperformance over the last quarter thus seems to position the company well for a strong performance from the current level, whereas the same can't be said about Lucid.Lucid Vs. NIO Key MetricsLet's take a deeper look at the tech of the two companies, as well as at their branding, and their specific key risks. Both NIO and Lucid are active in the high-end segment of the EV industry, selling vehicles with ASPs well north of the average Tesla. NIO's ASP is around $70,000, and Lucid's ASP is even higher than that for now, as the company is selling the most expensive AirDreamversion first. Tesla, the current EV leader, has an ASP of around $50,000. Both NIO and Tesla are thus operating in a more luxurious, higher-end segment of the market compared to Tesla. How are these companies able to demand way higher ASPs than Tesla? There are several factors at play, including branding, but one of the most important factors is their great tech.NIO's battery-swapping technology, for example, allows its customers to fully \"recharge\" in a couple of minutes, while most other EVs take way longer to fully charge. Lucid doesn't employ battery-swapping, but its racing-tested 900V technology allows for both a huge range as well as for fast charging speeds - Lucid's architecture allows customers to charge up to 300 miles worth of energy in just 20 minutes. The Tesla S, for reference, uses a ~400V architecture that allows customers to recharge 200 miles in 15 minutes. Clearly, both NIO's solution, as well as Lucid's solution, seem superior compared to what Tesla is offering.NIO's and Lucid's tech also looks highly competitive when it comes to their respective batteries. The Lucid Air Dream has an EPA range of 520 miles, which should be sufficient for almost all use cases. NIO has a larger product portfolio compared to Lucid, but when we take a look at its top-end sedan, battery performance looks even better. The NIO ET7, with a 150kWh battery (smaller options are available, too), has a range of up to 1,000km, which equates to around 620 miles of range. Again, both NIO and Lucid perform well compared to Tesla - the flagship S Plaid has an EPA range of 350 miles. Thanks to its experience in developing and supplying racing engines for electric race cars, Lucid crafts an especially efficient engine:Source: Lucid presentationA smaller, more efficient engine results in lower resource usage and reduces the weight of the vehicle, all else equal. This does, in turn, lead to a longer range, and it also allows for better handling and driving performance, all else equal. Lucid is by far not the biggest EV player today, but its engineers have developed some of the most compelling products and solutions among all currently active EV players.NIO puts a lot of focus on technologies that will eventually allow for autonomous driving and puts massive numbers of sensors and huge computing power in its vehicles today. The ET7 uses the following sensing units for that goal:Source: NIOWith 33 sensors that use up to 8MP, NIO's sensing capabilities easily blow away those of Tesla. The Tesla Model 3, which is, according to CEO Musk, ready for full-self-driving, only uses 8 cameras with 1.2MP each. One of NIO's sensors in the ET7 thus has almost as much sensing performance as all of the cameras in the M3 combined - and NIO uses 32 additional sensors in its model. Clearly, NIO's offering is superior - and that obviously comes at a price, as NIO is not skimping when it comes to putting the best tech in its vehicles. This is also showcased by the massive processing power of the chips NIO uses in the ET7. The ET7 uses four NVIDIA (NVDA) Orin SoCs, each of which offers slightly more than 250 trillion operations per second, which makes for combined computing power of more than 1,000 TOPS - unheard of in any production vehicle. Using four SoCs at the same time also provides for the redundancy that is required for critical systems in a self-driving scenario. it should be noted that NIO's self-driving tech is not as excellent on the software side - yet. At least for now, peers such as XPeng (XPEV) seem to employ the stronger algorithms, but that is a problem that NIO can solve over the coming quarters and years, and integrating future software in its vehicles that come with top-notch hardware shouldn't be a very difficult task. Lucid's self-driving tech, even though it doesn't get a lot of recognition yet, is not looking bad at all, either. The DreamDrive suite utilizes 32 onboard sensors, almost on par with NIO's Aquila system (and 4x more sensors compared to the M3, which is allegedly L5 ready from a hardware perspective).Strong tech alone doesn't make for an attractive vehicle, however, as design, manufacturing quality, etc. have to be considered as well. Luckily, both NIO and Lucid compete very well on that basis, although the data on Lucid is still limited due to the low sales numbers - not too many people have driven a Lucid Air yet, thus data about reliability, etc. is limited. NIO, however, has been selling thousands of vehicles a month for quite some time, and its users are very satisfied with the vehicles' quality. CnTechPost reports that J.D. Power has rated NIO the highest-quality EV company in China, ahead of Tesla. Lucid is not active in the country yet, but test drives by a wide range of auto journalists and magazines have generally resulted in very positive reviews. Both NIO and Lucid thus look strong from a design, quality, and tech perspective, with NIO putting more focus on customer-friendly items such as battery-swapping and driving assistance, whereas Lucid puts more focus on engine performance, battery tech, etc. Both avenues have their advantages, but I personally could see NIO benefit more from its easy-to-use, customer-friendly approach, as not too many people will buy an EV based on criteria such as the battery architecture. Still, Lucid's ability to develop high-performing vehicles should come in very handy in the highly competitive EV industry going forward.With NIO, the main risk the market seems to worry about now is regulation/politics. I personally do not believe that regulation will be a huge risk for NIO. Chinese companies never were able to compete successfully in the ICE vehicle space, but with EV technologies bringing change to the entire global automobile industry, China saw its chance to become a global automobile powerhouse. Hurting NIO and other Chinese EV players would run contrary to those goals, which is why I believe that China is more interested in nurturing its own EV players, including NIO, instead of hurting them. Still, the market puts a discount on every Chinese company today, and that holds true for NIO as well - which might be a good thing for those seeking to buy into the company at a below-average valuation.For Lucid, regulation doesn't seem like an important risk. Instead, the main risks here are the high valuation and the production ramp. As Tesla has shown, ramping up vehicle production is no easy task. The company oftentimes had to battle with delays and other issues, sometimes summarized as \"Production Hell\". The same could hold true for Lucid, which will have to ramp up production at a high speed in the coming months and quarters in order to meet its ambitious production goals. It's not a certainty that it will experience similar issues to other manufacturers, of course, but due to a lack of experience, this seems a considerable risk worth keeping an eye on. On top of that, LCID's high valuation could be a considerable risk - shares trade at around 30x next year's expected revenue, and there is no guarantee at all that those revenues will actually be generated.Is Lucid Or NIO Stock The Better Buy?Both NIO and Lucid have attractive products that seem highly competitive in the EV market that is seeing more and more entrants. I do believe that both companies will have operational success over the coming years, driven by strong tech, attractive brands, and compelling product quality. Operational growth does not necessarily result in share price growth, however, as valuations can be a major hurdle when one buys at a price that is too high.In NIO's case, that does not seem like an overly large risk, as shares are inexpensive relative to how other EV players are valued - NIO trades at ~4x next year's expected revenue, which represents a clear discount compared to LCID, RIVN, TSLA, and so on. Lucid, on the other hand, is trading at a very premium valuation of 30x next year's sales.I do believe that, based on its larger size, more established operations, better progress in ramping production, and due to its much more reasonable valuation, NIO is the better pick among these two today.The recent share price decline makes for an attractive entry point for those interested in owning this top-notch Chinese EV player.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"LCID":0.9,"NIO":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1187,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":691227873,"gmtCreate":1640213610716,"gmtModify":1640213610774,"author":{"id":"3576144409995554","authorId":"3576144409995554","name":"TheCSM","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6efc7d366993c14843b768fab99c5631","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576144409995554","authorIdStr":"3576144409995554"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good news","listText":"Good news","text":"Good news","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/691227873","repostId":"1131862374","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1131862374","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1640213195,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1131862374?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-23 06:46","market":"us","language":"en","title":"U.S. authorizes Pfizer oral COVID-19 treatment, first for at-home use","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1131862374","media":"Reuters","summary":"Dec 22 (Reuters) - The United States on Wednesday authorized Pfizer Inc's antiviral COVID-19 pill fo","content":"<p>Dec 22 (Reuters) - The United States on Wednesday authorized Pfizer Inc's&nbsp;antiviral COVID-19 pill for at-risk people aged 12 and above, making it the first oral treatment and which can be taken at home, providing a potentially important tool in the fight against the fast-spreading&nbsp;Omicron variant.</p>\n<p>Pfizer's antiviral regimen, Paxlovid, was nearly 90% effective in preventing hospitalizations and deaths in patients at high risk of severe illness, according to data from the company's clinical trial.

Recent lab data suggests the drug retains its effectiveness against Omicron, Pfizer said.\nPfizer raised its 2022 production projections to 120 million courses of treatment from 80 million and said it was ready to start immediate delivery in the United States. The treatment's two-drug regimen includes a new medicine and a second older antiviral called ritonavir.\n\"Paxlovid's approval is a major milestone that marks another step towards making COVID-19 a much more manageable infection,\" said Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Institute for Health Security.\n\"There are two key issues, however, that remain: It will be scarce in the coming weeks and its optimal use requires prompt diagnosis, which can be difficult with the continual testing problems that plague us,\" Adalja added.\nPfizer has said it has 180,000 treatment courses ready to ship this year. The U.S. government's contract for 10 million courses of the drug is priced at $530 per course.\nThe Food and Drug Administration's decision to issue emergency authorization for the treatment comes as the U.S. combats a surge in COVID-19 cases driven by the Omicron variant, with President Joe Biden announcing plans for more federal vaccination and testing sites.\nThe pills can fill a treatment gap opened by the Omicron variant, said William Schaffner, a leading infectious disease expert from the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. The most widely used monoclonal antibody treatments for COVID-19 have proven to be less effective at fighting the variant and there is limited supply of the one remaining treatment that works, he said.\nMonoclonal antibodies are typically given intravenously in hospitals, are not widely available and are more than twice the cost of the Pfizer pill.\nThe Omicron variant, first identified in southern Africa and Hong Kong in November, has spread across the world and now constitutes over 70% of new coronavirus cases in the United States, according to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Prior infection and vaccines have been shown in studies to only partly prevent infection from the variant, though a booster shot does increase protection.\nThe FDA said it authorized Paxlovid for emergency use for the treatment of mild-to-moderate disease in adults and children 12 years and older, who are at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19.\nThe drug is available by prescription only and should be initiated as soon as possible after diagnosis of COVID-19 and within five days of symptom onset, the FDA said. The pills are meant to be taken every 12 hours for five days beginning shortly after the onset of symptoms.\nWhile the clinical trials did not include patients under the age of 18, Pfizer said, the authorized adult dosing regimen is expected to result in comparable blood concentration levels of the drug in pediatric patients 12 and older weighing at least 40 kg (88.2 lbs).\nThe second drug, ritonavir, is known to have interactions with some other prescription medicines.

This week, I'm excited to welcome Lou Whiteman back on the show to take a look at Palantir's recent earnings. Lou, how's it going?</p>\n<p><b>Lou Whiteman:</b> Going well, good to see you, Nick.</p>\n<p><b>Sciple:</b> Great to have you here back on the show. We've talked about Palantir here in the past, I think this is the first show we're doing focusing specifically on this company. I had John a couple of weeks ago, we talked about the entertainment that we can get from <b>Tesla </b>earnings calls. There are some back-end relationships between Palantir, whose chairman is Peter Thiel, and then the Tesla CEO and former chairman, Elon Musk. What did you make of this earnings call, man? Palantir is a unique company.</p>\n<p><b>Whiteman:</b> They are. You know what? They own that, which I respect. It was a fun earnings call they did for people who didn't listen in. They have people submit questions, there's no live back-and-forth with analysts. It's brilliant because it really gives them a chance to communicate as they wish, and maybe not what they wish, but it makes for a really fun call. Issues or questions as simple as what's Palantir, what does Palantir do, which was <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> that you pulled out that I thought was great.</p>\n<p><b>Sciple:</b> Yeah. They take this out of the Tesla playbook, where they take submissions from investors online. At least for the first part of the call, I would say most of the call, the Q&amp;A portion is spent answering those questions, having the IRR executives read that out.</p>\n<p>One of the things that we struggled with here, Lou, is trying to figure out, what exactly does Palantir do? We had a whole episode where we talked about these highly classified businesses. Sometimes, everything is behind the wall. It's hard to figure out what's going on and what exactly the nature of these programs are.</p>\n<p>It seems like some analysts are having the same problem, because there was a question we got on the earnings call. It says, \"Are there plans for the company to increase its PR presence to increase awareness of its business model, which may lead to increased utilization of Palantir's various software platforms?\"</p>\n<p>We got an answer from the chief operating officer, Shyam Sankar. I don't think it was super satisfying for those who were trying to figure out what the business is all about. They say: \"I can't really tell you why some people don't know or understand what we do. I can tell you about the people who do know though. It's the special operator who chased down a car to give him a hug. It's the civil servants who work tirelessly to deliver vaccines in the U.S. and the U.K. It's the French government as they raced to prevent bombs from exploding on the eve of Macron's election. It's the German police who caught the suicide bombers in time, the supply chain operators of the World Food Program, tackling COVID, escalating impact of global property and hunger, the factory workers on the assembly lines from Toulouse to Detroit.\" That's an answer. It's not really an exact answer. What is your understanding of what Palantir does, and where they fit in other than being like sneaky spy software people?</p>\n<p><b>Whiteman:</b> The big picture is this is a data analytics company. They bring order to data, and they do it with AI. They do it with a human intelligence. Humans are better at sorting through data than machines, but they do it with the speed and just the total volume of a machine. It's that human-level intelligence at the volume of machines that allows them to do amazing things. Most notably, they've helped the Pentagon find Osama Bin Laden, helped figure out that Bernie Madoff wasn't on the up and up. It is a special sauce. It's AI that helps sort through mountains and mountains of data and find things that both a human on his or her own or a lesser AI is going to miss. That in a nutshell is what they do. But it's complicated.</p>\n<p><b>Sciple:</b> It's complicated. You describe their culture as an artist colony. Very pretty eccentric you would say. Maybe it fits the Peter Thiel ethos. He has his book, <i>Zero to One</i>, I think it's one of the best investing books out there. But it talks about how you have to be different to achieve something different. They are certainly being very different from other folks, certainly, in the government services industry, maybe other companies, in general. When we look at the numbers from the earnings report, what the company is giving us as far as performance of the business. What stood out to you from earnings?</p>\n<p><b>Whiteman:</b> This is starting on a very high level. It was a very good quarter this recent quarter. We should note, they only went public late last year. It's an 18-year-old company, but it's relatively new to the public markets. Anyway, they earned $0.04 per share on revenue of $375 million. That easily topped estimates on revenue, $353 million was the estimate. It was a penny ahead on analyst expectations. Revenue was up an eye-popping 49% year-over-year. Adjusted operating margin topped 30% for the third straight quarter.&nbsp; This is a good solid business. We'll talk about that later. But I think the heart of the question of what Palantir does, why don't analysts get it, is there is a market disconnect right now going on with the strength of the business versus the strength of the stock. It's hard to get by. But look, they are forecasting great things. They had a 3-to-1 book to bill ratio, which means they're bringing in almost three times the business they're billing out. Fantastic. They had 20 customers in the quarter. Many of those, to be honest, didn't view this a bit of an asterisk there, but that is growth, and commercial side growth as we'll talk about soon, is key to the bull case here. Most impressive, they don't really give guidance, but they said with confidence, 30% annual revenue growth for each of the next five years. We're talking about growing the business from just over $1 billion, analyzing run-rate to a $3.5-4 billion company in a matter of five years, 2026. As an investor, you got to like that. They are definitely going in the right direction.</p>\n<p><b>Sciple:</b> Big question for me, and you may or may not have deep thoughts on this Lou. But just why now? You mentioned this is a company that's been around for a number of years. They were involved in the Osama Bin Laden capture a number of years ago. This company has been around for a while. Now, we're seeing this incredible growth, forecasting lots of growth into the future. What is your perception of the quarter they've turned here, or why now?</p>\n<p><b>Whiteman:</b> This is perception because as we discussed from the top, this isn't a company that really likes to spell out all of its thoughts out to the markets. They only went public last year. That coincided with a real push on the commercial side. They've mostly been a government contractor. I think what we're seeing here is part of their evolution into, hopefully, a more diversified contractor serving both government and commercial customers, to justify a strong public listing. They've been around for 18 years and they are only now a $1 billion company, mostly in defense. That's going to trade at a different valuation than a company that can really attack the commercial market. We can get into that in a second as far as where they are in that. But I think that this, the PR push, the going public, the commercial, this is all about turning from a niche government contractor to a more-mainstream data analytics company.</p>\n<p><b>Sciple:</b> It's that leap, maybe if you think about it. There's a couple of examples of autonomy. We had the DARPA program that was about autonomous vehicles, and now you have lots of companies trying to launch that in a commercial sense. If you look at iRobot, that makes the robot vacuums, the early history of that company was they were a robotic minesweeper. Obviously, you don't want people to be going around, walking through the minefield tracking for mines. That was the early development of that technology. Maybe this is another example of technology developed in the test tube of the military that now you can open up the floodgates and unleash it out onto the commercial world. One thing you mentioned about, Lou, some of the growth in revenue we're seeing. I think they said there's only 1% of their growth and revenue. But a huge chunk of their total contract volume is coming from these smaller companies, they call them \"Day Zero\" companies, that they are investing in. What can you tell us about what they're doing here? Obviously, there's some risk.</p>\n<p><b>Whiteman:</b> They are investing partially through the SPACs. They are investing in companies that they see promise in, and they are also finding customers that way. You can't do it forever, but it's hard to knock the strategy. Let's talk about it a little because I think this gets back to that initial, what is Palantir, and the question was, why don't analysts get it? Which is an interesting thing to say. This is a company, as we said, most of their history has been on the defense side. Right now, it's almost a $50 billion market cap on a $1 billion run rate of sales, so a quite rich price-to-sales on today. Even if you go forward with that 30% growth over five years, we're still talking about 12 to 15 times projected 2026 sales. Honestly, defense contractors mostly are less than two times sales. It's just out of this world for defense. This is part of this process where they need to become a commercial company. While they're making progress here, and like the Day Zero companies, they are being innovative in how they're going to do it. There was nothing in this quarter to suggest that the profile of this company is going to change anytime soon. Government with 61% of total revenue in the quarter, and it is growing faster. Government grew by about 66%, commercial grew about 28%.</p>\n<p>By comparison, it's hard to get a perfect comparison, but <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SNOW\">Snowflake</a></b>, which is a commercial company, similar size revenue, grew revenue by 110%. It is not growing as fast as Snowflake on the commercial side. If the government is a bigger part of the pie, and it's the side that's growing faster, it is really hard quickly to transition yourself into a commercial vendor. I think a lot of the angst in that question was, why don't analysts get the commercial? I think that's the better answer to that question right now, is that commercial is still the area of promise, but not the area that is the bulk of the business. These Day Zero companies initiatives like that, they've partnered with <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/IBM\">IBM</a> </b>to try and sell the software, which will cut margins which should hopefully help with growth. These are ways where they are trying to transform themselves into a more commercial minded company that arguably could justify a higher valuation long term.</p>\n<p><b>Sciple:</b> They talked about hiring a significant number of sales staff. Obviously, going out to sell to a different, more varied group of customers. I will say, for any company, we're having a venture capital arm of our business that's spinning up customers for us. I will say though, it makes you feel a little bit better when you have Peter Thiel, one of the best venture capitalists ever, as the chairman of the board. If there's anybody that's going to pick winners and have a pretty high hit rate there, I think he's one of them. We'll have to see.</p>\n<p><b>Whiteman:</b> They have the cash. I don't think there is a downside, but I also don't think that&nbsp; this solves there. It looked really good on the customer acquisition numbers. It's not going to drive revenue and really transform the business, just the nature of these customers.</p>\n<p><b>Sciple:</b> Yeah. Really questions about how quickly they can continue to grow this commercial side, how these bets on smaller companies work out. You mentioned the cash pile, Lou, and that's the other thing that's grabbing headlines here is how they're spending that cash pile. The company purchased $50 million in 100-ounce gold bars, they said in their Aug. 12 earnings statement. They said the purchase will be kept in a secure third-party facility located in the Northeastern United States and the company will be able to take possession of the gold bars at any time with reasonable notice. They've talked about this being insurance against a black swan event. Palantir is the eye in the sky that's helping support the operations of people like the CIA and the NSA. What do you make of this group in particular, buying $50 million in gold bars?</p>\n<p><b>Whiteman:</b> That is certainly the headline, this so-called Skynet, the company that has the AI capable of predicting the future, is buying gold. You know, that's something. I don't know what to make of it. I think it's a great way to get publicity. I can't imagine a lot of at least the U.S. government or large corporate customers saying we want to pay in gold. It feels more like a publicity thing, maybe a foreign government sales, it may come in handy. But yeah, it definitely catches the eye, maybe they know something we don't. But I have a hard time changing my view of the business based on the fact that they bought gold. It's just a really fun thing to watch to see exactly what they have planned.</p>\n<p><b>Sciple:</b> Yeah. For me, it's a couple of things. For me, partially, it's a $50 million marketing expense line item, you can think of it that way because me and you are talking about it, CNBC is talking about it, they're writing it up on Bloomberg, all these other places. I don't know if you could get that level of coverage across the world in the financial media with just a $50 million ad buy. You certainly have an asset left on the back end here with the gold purchase that you wouldn't have had if you just went in and spent it on ads, there's that. Do you think it's realistic, because they talked about customers having the ability to pay with cryptocurrency but nobody has paid, they are encouraging customers to pay with gold. But the people who had realistically wanted to have untraceable payments are the people that Palantir had said they will not service. There's potentially hostile groups and groups that would want to cover up their operations. I don't think that the U.S. Government wants to cover up that they are a customer of Palantir.</p>\n<p><b>Whiteman:</b> No. I mean, hopefully not. There was a high-profile customer we won't name who was a customer, but it turned out that they we're using the software to spy on employees and not make better lending decisions. But that was a few years ago in the past. Yeah, no, I mean, it's funny not to be too tongue-in-cheek, but it's hard to imagine a big customer actually piling gold into a truck and driving at the Palantir headquarters, so probably what you would have is some paper that represents an amount of gold, which used to be the U.S. dollar, so maybe they're just trying to get us back to the gold standard. But I tend to think you're right, that's $50 million of publicity that they also have an asset in the bank on. We'll see what else they do with that. I'd be surprised if it's much.</p>\n<p><b>Sciple:</b> Yeah, I choose to take the publicity angle on this because if you take that they're predicting World War III angle here, I don't want to predict that future, so I'm going to choose the publicity angle. Lou, you mentioned earlier, when you look at Palantir, they're tough to put a thumb on, and in some perspectives, you want to going to put it in the bucket of government services contractors, and others you want to put it in this bucket with your <b>Amazon</b>s, and your Snowflakes, and your <b>Microsoft </b>as this transformational Cloud software business. About a year ago, we did a defense stocks basket, which was some of these traditional companies. When you look at how Palantir has traded compared to some of those other companies, what are your thoughts on where Palantir fits in the bucket and there's different strategies for investors to get into these trends?</p>\n<p><b>Whiteman:</b> Not to dump the question, but this is really hard because I think business is fantastic. There is, in my mind, though, a disconnect between the business and the stock. It's hard to know how long that goes on or how quickly they grow out of it. One thing I do believe is that if they cannot get the commercial up and running the way they hope to, the valuation is not sustainable over time. Governments have cost-plus contracts. There is only so much business. If you talked to Pentagon people about Palantir, they both loved the company, they love the software when it's needed. But that when it is needed is important because it is expensive, it is cumbersome, it is a huge install, and frankly, it's best used not universally but when it's needed. I do think there are limits on the government's side, and I think the commercial side, they couldn't run into some of those same things.</p>\n<p>Last December, I actually put together a separate basket that was instead of Palantir, to buy these three defense IT firms. I was thinking five years, for the record, so far, I have not been right. My basket has losing to Palantir for less than 1% on average. If you throw in dividends, total return, I think I'm up, but whatever, we're very early in a five-year process. But the thing that struck me when I was looking at that this morning is just that Palantir, for all of its volatility, has basically gone nowhere in a long time. Now, it has been so long, it's been at various points in time this year, it's been up 60% for the year. It was down as much as 25%, wild swings. But for the year, it is actually losing to the<b> S&amp;P 500</b> by almost 9 percentage points. Basically, if you take out all that noise, it's a flat line. I wonder, this company, these products, they're too good for it just to fall off a cliff. It's hard to imagine the catalyst where it just crashes, it's done. But it's also hard to see that catalyst to get a jump higher. I think one or two things are going to happen. Either they're going to surprise me with the way they can grow the commercial, and I think honestly, probably surprise themselves because I think it's going to be much more than that 30% if they really see the stock take off, or this could just be a flat stock for a while while it slowly grows into its valuation.</p>\n<p>Looking at what it's done last year, I think the good news is that's not the worst downside. Really, it's hard to imagine this company just ceasing to exist. But I do question whether it can be a market-leading investment given its current valuation and the growth that's baked in, and the challenges that might find growth quickly. It really surprised me, its performance versus the S&amp;P 500 for the year. I wonder if that isn't telling of what we have, maybe not for the long, long term, but for the next few years, and the foreseeable future.</p>\n<p><b>Sciple:</b> Right. Certainly, some execution to live up to that valuation. Lou, you mentioned that basket. Just for completion's sake, what were the companies that were on that list of the three IT services firms?</p>\n<p><b>Whiteman:</b> It was <b>Booz Allen Hamilton</b>, BAH, which to be honest, has been the real clunker for me, and then I believe it was <b>SAIC</b>, and <b>Leidos Holdings</b>, LDOS.</p>\n<p><b>Sciple:</b> Excellent. We've talked about those in the past so I'll try to drop some links to episodes where we've talked about some of those companies. Any last thoughts on Palantir before we move on our next topic?</p>\n<p><b>Whiteman:</b> Again, I think just back to that original thing, why don't analysts understand? I think it's an open debate whether or not analysts understand it better than retail or if retail understands it better than analysts, because a lot of defense people like me are looking at it through that spectrum. We could be wrong and we could be missing it, but I think as an individual investor, you should at least be mindful that that could be what they are, too. As I said, the stock could readjust overtime.</p>\n<p><b>Sciple:</b> Is it <i>Rule Breaker</i> or is it a faker, we're going to find out sometime in these next quarters and years. The big thing we're going to be watching is how quickly they can grow that commercial business and sustain that growth overtime. We've talked about defense a lot today, Lou, in the context of Palantir. Maybe zooming out a little bit, the headline story everywhere is what's going on in Afghanistan, a really tragic scene. When you put what's going on there in the context of what it means for defense more broadly, do you have any high-level thoughts or context to give us?</p>\n<p><b>Whiteman:</b> Yeah, as you say, it's so hard to watch, it's hard to really make it into a stock story, but these are stocks and they move on, I do think for big defense, it is mostly a distraction right now, I mean, it could be a distraction that causes some disruption. I'm pretty sure we're going to see hearings, I think it's going to distract Congress so we could see delays on the budget, that's less clarity than we hope. There could be some resignations, there could be some shuffling in the budget because of it, so I don't think the big picture really alters on this, but I do think it could cause choppiness up ahead. Part of leaving Afghanistan as part of a broader trend toward a shift and focus toward what causes great power competition, that's mostly China and Russia. In the worst-case scenario, I guess with Afghanistan, we're kind of sucked back in, and maybe that means more near-term spending on munitions versus great power R&amp;D, which the companies would definitely prefer. The R&amp;D, it's higher margin, more turnaround, but it's hard to imagine a world where we stopped focusing on Russia and China, and so I do think the R&amp;D would be sustained. If anything, there was about $9 billion in the fiscal 2020 Pentagon budget to support the Afghan Army. That's presumably off the table, that does give some wiggle. That's not enough really to shift views on any one stock, but there is some wiggle room now. I think, long term, the thesis prior to this when all these companies remains the same, but it's certainly doesn't help clarity as far as when things get done and what the budget in the next year or two looks like.</p>\n<p><b>Sciple:</b> Yeah, it's an interesting history that rhymes a little bit, there was the Vietnam evacuation that was centered around Russia and some of the things going on there, and now we have this great power focus. Whenever I hear great power, I just translate that to Cold War in my brain, that's essentially the 21st century version of that, that's where we're headed.</p>\n<p><b>Whiteman:</b> I think we are and unfortunately, it's probably bullish for defense stocks over time because that does involve alot of again, this&nbsp; R&amp;D spending on advanced stuff. It's a very different profile than fighting insurgence, the low level war, but until the world gets safer.</p>\n<p><b>Sciple:</b> Hopefully, that can happen, Lou, any last thoughts here on the defense universe before we send us all home?</p>\n<p><b>Whiteman:</b> It's been a weird couple of years. We had the election last year and concerns about that, that I think we're overblown and now fresh chaos. This remains for me a sector that if you are very long-term and especially if you want dividends because you have a lot of approaching 3% dividend yields.

A full transcript follows the video.\nThis video was recorded on Aug. 19, 2021.\nNick Sciple: Welcome to Industry Focus, I am Nick Sciple. This week, I'm excited to welcome Lou Whiteman back on the show to take a look at Palantir's recent earnings. Lou, how's it going?\nLou Whiteman: Going well, good to see you, Nick.\nSciple: Great to have you here back on the show. We've talked about Palantir here in the past, I think this is the first show we're doing focusing specifically on this company. I had John a couple of weeks ago, we talked about the entertainment that we can get from Tesla earnings calls. There are some back-end relationships between Palantir, whose chairman is Peter Thiel, and then the Tesla CEO and former chairman, Elon Musk. What did you make of this earnings call, man? Palantir is a unique company.\nWhiteman: They are. You know what? They own that, which I respect. It was a fun earnings call they did for people who didn't listen in. They have people submit questions, there's no live back-and-forth with analysts. It's brilliant because it really gives them a chance to communicate as they wish, and maybe not what they wish, but it makes for a really fun call. Issues or questions as simple as what's Palantir, what does Palantir do, which was one that you pulled out that I thought was great.\nSciple: Yeah. They take this out of the Tesla playbook, where they take submissions from investors online. At least for the first part of the call, I would say most of the call, the Q&A portion is spent answering those questions, having the IRR executives read that out.\nOne of the things that we struggled with here, Lou, is trying to figure out, what exactly does Palantir do? We had a whole episode where we talked about these highly classified businesses. Sometimes, everything is behind the wall. It's hard to figure out what's going on and what exactly the nature of these programs are.\nIt seems like some analysts are having the same problem, because there was a question we got on the earnings call. It says, \"Are there plans for the company to increase its PR presence to increase awareness of its business model, which may lead to increased utilization of Palantir's various software platforms?\"\nWe got an answer from the chief operating officer, Shyam Sankar. I don't think it was super satisfying for those who were trying to figure out what the business is all about. They say: \"I can't really tell you why some people don't know or understand what we do. I can tell you about the people who do know though. It's the special operator who chased down a car to give him a hug. It's the civil servants who work tirelessly to deliver vaccines in the U.S. and the U.K. It's the French government as they raced to prevent bombs from exploding on the eve of Macron's election. It's the German police who caught the suicide bombers in time, the supply chain operators of the World Food Program, tackling COVID, escalating impact of global property and hunger, the factory workers on the assembly lines from Toulouse to Detroit.\" That's an answer. It's not really an exact answer. What is your understanding of what Palantir does, and where they fit in other than being like sneaky spy software people?\nWhiteman: The big picture is this is a data analytics company. They bring order to data, and they do it with AI. They do it with a human intelligence. Humans are better at sorting through data than machines, but they do it with the speed and just the total volume of a machine. It's that human-level intelligence at the volume of machines that allows them to do amazing things. Most notably, they've helped the Pentagon find Osama Bin Laden, helped figure out that Bernie Madoff wasn't on the up and up. It is a special sauce. It's AI that helps sort through mountains and mountains of data and find things that both a human on his or her own or a lesser AI is going to miss. That in a nutshell is what they do. But it's complicated.\nSciple: It's complicated. You describe their culture as an artist colony. Very pretty eccentric you would say. Maybe it fits the Peter Thiel ethos. He has his book, Zero to One, I think it's one of the best investing books out there. But it talks about how you have to be different to achieve something different. They are certainly being very different from other folks, certainly, in the government services industry, maybe other companies, in general. When we look at the numbers from the earnings report, what the company is giving us as far as performance of the business. What stood out to you from earnings?\nWhiteman: This is starting on a very high level. It was a very good quarter this recent quarter. We should note, they only went public late last year. It's an 18-year-old company, but it's relatively new to the public markets. Anyway, they earned $0.04 per share on revenue of $375 million. That easily topped estimates on revenue, $353 million was the estimate. It was a penny ahead on analyst expectations. Revenue was up an eye-popping 49% year-over-year. Adjusted operating margin topped 30% for the third straight quarter.  This is a good solid business. We'll talk about that later. But I think the heart of the question of what Palantir does, why don't analysts get it, is there is a market disconnect right now going on with the strength of the business versus the strength of the stock. It's hard to get by. But look, they are forecasting great things. They had a 3-to-1 book to bill ratio, which means they're bringing in almost three times the business they're billing out. Fantastic. They had 20 customers in the quarter. Many of those, to be honest, didn't view this a bit of an asterisk there, but that is growth, and commercial side growth as we'll talk about soon, is key to the bull case here. Most impressive, they don't really give guidance, but they said with confidence, 30% annual revenue growth for each of the next five years. We're talking about growing the business from just over $1 billion, analyzing run-rate to a $3.5-4 billion company in a matter of five years, 2026. As an investor, you got to like that. They are definitely going in the right direction.\nSciple: Big question for me, and you may or may not have deep thoughts on this Lou. But just why now? You mentioned this is a company that's been around for a number of years. They were involved in the Osama Bin Laden capture a number of years ago. This company has been around for a while. Now, we're seeing this incredible growth, forecasting lots of growth into the future. What is your perception of the quarter they've turned here, or why now?\nWhiteman: This is perception because as we discussed from the top, this isn't a company that really likes to spell out all of its thoughts out to the markets. They only went public last year. That coincided with a real push on the commercial side. They've mostly been a government contractor. I think what we're seeing here is part of their evolution into, hopefully, a more diversified contractor serving both government and commercial customers, to justify a strong public listing. They've been around for 18 years and they are only now a $1 billion company, mostly in defense. That's going to trade at a different valuation than a company that can really attack the commercial market. We can get into that in a second as far as where they are in that. But I think that this, the PR push, the going public, the commercial, this is all about turning from a niche government contractor to a more-mainstream data analytics company.\nSciple: It's that leap, maybe if you think about it. There's a couple of examples of autonomy. We had the DARPA program that was about autonomous vehicles, and now you have lots of companies trying to launch that in a commercial sense. If you look at iRobot, that makes the robot vacuums, the early history of that company was they were a robotic minesweeper. Obviously, you don't want people to be going around, walking through the minefield tracking for mines. That was the early development of that technology. Maybe this is another example of technology developed in the test tube of the military that now you can open up the floodgates and unleash it out onto the commercial world. One thing you mentioned about, Lou, some of the growth in revenue we're seeing. I think they said there's only 1% of their growth and revenue. But a huge chunk of their total contract volume is coming from these smaller companies, they call them \"Day Zero\" companies, that they are investing in. What can you tell us about what they're doing here? Obviously, there's some risk.\nWhiteman: They are investing partially through the SPACs. They are investing in companies that they see promise in, and they are also finding customers that way. You can't do it forever, but it's hard to knock the strategy. Let's talk about it a little because I think this gets back to that initial, what is Palantir, and the question was, why don't analysts get it? Which is an interesting thing to say. This is a company, as we said, most of their history has been on the defense side. Right now, it's almost a $50 billion market cap on a $1 billion run rate of sales, so a quite rich price-to-sales on today. Even if you go forward with that 30% growth over five years, we're still talking about 12 to 15 times projected 2026 sales. Honestly, defense contractors mostly are less than two times sales. It's just out of this world for defense. This is part of this process where they need to become a commercial company. While they're making progress here, and like the Day Zero companies, they are being innovative in how they're going to do it. There was nothing in this quarter to suggest that the profile of this company is going to change anytime soon. Government with 61% of total revenue in the quarter, and it is growing faster. Government grew by about 66%, commercial grew about 28%.\nBy comparison, it's hard to get a perfect comparison, but Snowflake, which is a commercial company, similar size revenue, grew revenue by 110%. It is not growing as fast as Snowflake on the commercial side. If the government is a bigger part of the pie, and it's the side that's growing faster, it is really hard quickly to transition yourself into a commercial vendor. I think a lot of the angst in that question was, why don't analysts get the commercial? I think that's the better answer to that question right now, is that commercial is still the area of promise, but not the area that is the bulk of the business. These Day Zero companies initiatives like that, they've partnered with IBM to try and sell the software, which will cut margins which should hopefully help with growth. These are ways where they are trying to transform themselves into a more commercial minded company that arguably could justify a higher valuation long term.\nSciple: They talked about hiring a significant number of sales staff. Obviously, going out to sell to a different, more varied group of customers. I will say, for any company, we're having a venture capital arm of our business that's spinning up customers for us. I will say though, it makes you feel a little bit better when you have Peter Thiel, one of the best venture capitalists ever, as the chairman of the board. If there's anybody that's going to pick winners and have a pretty high hit rate there, I think he's one of them. We'll have to see.\nWhiteman: They have the cash. I don't think there is a downside, but I also don't think that  this solves there. It looked really good on the customer acquisition numbers. It's not going to drive revenue and really transform the business, just the nature of these customers.\nSciple: Yeah. Really questions about how quickly they can continue to grow this commercial side, how these bets on smaller companies work out. You mentioned the cash pile, Lou, and that's the other thing that's grabbing headlines here is how they're spending that cash pile. The company purchased $50 million in 100-ounce gold bars, they said in their Aug. 12 earnings statement. They said the purchase will be kept in a secure third-party facility located in the Northeastern United States and the company will be able to take possession of the gold bars at any time with reasonable notice. They've talked about this being insurance against a black swan event. Palantir is the eye in the sky that's helping support the operations of people like the CIA and the NSA. What do you make of this group in particular, buying $50 million in gold bars?\nWhiteman: That is certainly the headline, this so-called Skynet, the company that has the AI capable of predicting the future, is buying gold. You know, that's something. I don't know what to make of it. I think it's a great way to get publicity. I can't imagine a lot of at least the U.S. government or large corporate customers saying we want to pay in gold. It feels more like a publicity thing, maybe a foreign government sales, it may come in handy. But yeah, it definitely catches the eye, maybe they know something we don't. But I have a hard time changing my view of the business based on the fact that they bought gold. It's just a really fun thing to watch to see exactly what they have planned.\nSciple: Yeah. For me, it's a couple of things. For me, partially, it's a $50 million marketing expense line item, you can think of it that way because me and you are talking about it, CNBC is talking about it, they're writing it up on Bloomberg, all these other places. I don't know if you could get that level of coverage across the world in the financial media with just a $50 million ad buy. You certainly have an asset left on the back end here with the gold purchase that you wouldn't have had if you just went in and spent it on ads, there's that. Do you think it's realistic, because they talked about customers having the ability to pay with cryptocurrency but nobody has paid, they are encouraging customers to pay with gold. But the people who had realistically wanted to have untraceable payments are the people that Palantir had said they will not service. There's potentially hostile groups and groups that would want to cover up their operations. I don't think that the U.S. Government wants to cover up that they are a customer of Palantir.\nWhiteman: No. I mean, hopefully not. There was a high-profile customer we won't name who was a customer, but it turned out that they we're using the software to spy on employees and not make better lending decisions. But that was a few years ago in the past. Yeah, no, I mean, it's funny not to be too tongue-in-cheek, but it's hard to imagine a big customer actually piling gold into a truck and driving at the Palantir headquarters, so probably what you would have is some paper that represents an amount of gold, which used to be the U.S. dollar, so maybe they're just trying to get us back to the gold standard. But I tend to think you're right, that's $50 million of publicity that they also have an asset in the bank on. We'll see what else they do with that. I'd be surprised if it's much.\nSciple: Yeah, I choose to take the publicity angle on this because if you take that they're predicting World War III angle here, I don't want to predict that future, so I'm going to choose the publicity angle. Lou, you mentioned earlier, when you look at Palantir, they're tough to put a thumb on, and in some perspectives, you want to going to put it in the bucket of government services contractors, and others you want to put it in this bucket with your Amazons, and your Snowflakes, and your Microsoft as this transformational Cloud software business. About a year ago, we did a defense stocks basket, which was some of these traditional companies. When you look at how Palantir has traded compared to some of those other companies, what are your thoughts on where Palantir fits in the bucket and there's different strategies for investors to get into these trends?\nWhiteman: Not to dump the question, but this is really hard because I think business is fantastic. There is, in my mind, though, a disconnect between the business and the stock. It's hard to know how long that goes on or how quickly they grow out of it. One thing I do believe is that if they cannot get the commercial up and running the way they hope to, the valuation is not sustainable over time. Governments have cost-plus contracts. There is only so much business. If you talked to Pentagon people about Palantir, they both loved the company, they love the software when it's needed. But that when it is needed is important because it is expensive, it is cumbersome, it is a huge install, and frankly, it's best used not universally but when it's needed. I do think there are limits on the government's side, and I think the commercial side, they couldn't run into some of those same things.\nLast December, I actually put together a separate basket that was instead of Palantir, to buy these three defense IT firms. I was thinking five years, for the record, so far, I have not been right. My basket has losing to Palantir for less than 1% on average. If you throw in dividends, total return, I think I'm up, but whatever, we're very early in a five-year process. But the thing that struck me when I was looking at that this morning is just that Palantir, for all of its volatility, has basically gone nowhere in a long time. Now, it has been so long, it's been at various points in time this year, it's been up 60% for the year. It was down as much as 25%, wild swings. But for the year, it is actually losing to the S&P 500 by almost 9 percentage points. Basically, if you take out all that noise, it's a flat line. I wonder, this company, these products, they're too good for it just to fall off a cliff. It's hard to imagine the catalyst where it just crashes, it's done. But it's also hard to see that catalyst to get a jump higher. I think one or two things are going to happen. Either they're going to surprise me with the way they can grow the commercial, and I think honestly, probably surprise themselves because I think it's going to be much more than that 30% if they really see the stock take off, or this could just be a flat stock for a while while it slowly grows into its valuation.\nLooking at what it's done last year, I think the good news is that's not the worst downside. Really, it's hard to imagine this company just ceasing to exist. But I do question whether it can be a market-leading investment given its current valuation and the growth that's baked in, and the challenges that might find growth quickly. It really surprised me, its performance versus the S&P 500 for the year. I wonder if that isn't telling of what we have, maybe not for the long, long term, but for the next few years, and the foreseeable future.\nSciple: Right. Certainly, some execution to live up to that valuation. Lou, you mentioned that basket. Just for completion's sake, what were the companies that were on that list of the three IT services firms?\nWhiteman: It was Booz Allen Hamilton, BAH, which to be honest, has been the real clunker for me, and then I believe it was SAIC, and Leidos Holdings, LDOS.\nSciple: Excellent. We've talked about those in the past so I'll try to drop some links to episodes where we've talked about some of those companies. Any last thoughts on Palantir before we move on our next topic?\nWhiteman: Again, I think just back to that original thing, why don't analysts understand? I think it's an open debate whether or not analysts understand it better than retail or if retail understands it better than analysts, because a lot of defense people like me are looking at it through that spectrum. We could be wrong and we could be missing it, but I think as an individual investor, you should at least be mindful that that could be what they are, too. As I said, the stock could readjust overtime.\nSciple: Is it Rule Breaker or is it a faker, we're going to find out sometime in these next quarters and years. The big thing we're going to be watching is how quickly they can grow that commercial business and sustain that growth overtime. We've talked about defense a lot today, Lou, in the context of Palantir. Maybe zooming out a little bit, the headline story everywhere is what's going on in Afghanistan, a really tragic scene. When you put what's going on there in the context of what it means for defense more broadly, do you have any high-level thoughts or context to give us?\nWhiteman: Yeah, as you say, it's so hard to watch, it's hard to really make it into a stock story, but these are stocks and they move on, I do think for big defense, it is mostly a distraction right now, I mean, it could be a distraction that causes some disruption. I'm pretty sure we're going to see hearings, I think it's going to distract Congress so we could see delays on the budget, that's less clarity than we hope. There could be some resignations, there could be some shuffling in the budget because of it, so I don't think the big picture really alters on this, but I do think it could cause choppiness up ahead. Part of leaving Afghanistan as part of a broader trend toward a shift and focus toward what causes great power competition, that's mostly China and Russia. In the worst-case scenario, I guess with Afghanistan, we're kind of sucked back in, and maybe that means more near-term spending on munitions versus great power R&D, which the companies would definitely prefer. The R&D, it's higher margin, more turnaround, but it's hard to imagine a world where we stopped focusing on Russia and China, and so I do think the R&D would be sustained. If anything, there was about $9 billion in the fiscal 2020 Pentagon budget to support the Afghan Army. That's presumably off the table, that does give some wiggle. That's not enough really to shift views on any one stock, but there is some wiggle room now. I think, long term, the thesis prior to this when all these companies remains the same, but it's certainly doesn't help clarity as far as when things get done and what the budget in the next year or two looks like.\nSciple: Yeah, it's an interesting history that rhymes a little bit, there was the Vietnam evacuation that was centered around Russia and some of the things going on there, and now we have this great power focus. Whenever I hear great power, I just translate that to Cold War in my brain, that's essentially the 21st century version of that, that's where we're headed.\nWhiteman: I think we are and unfortunately, it's probably bullish for defense stocks over time because that does involve alot of again, this  R&D spending on advanced stuff. It's a very different profile than fighting insurgence, the low level war, but until the world gets safer.\nSciple: Hopefully, that can happen, Lou, any last thoughts here on the defense universe before we send us all home?\nWhiteman: It's been a weird couple of years. We had the election last year and concerns about that, that I think we're overblown and now fresh chaos. This remains for me a sector that if you are very long-term and especially if you want dividends because you have a lot of approaching 3% dividend yields.

Ocugen</h3>\n<p>Retail investors have been excited about Ocugen's stock this year, but I don't share that enthusiasm. The business's hopes rest on Covaxin, a coronavirus vaccine candidate it is co-developing with India's Bharat Biotech. The companies' agreement stipulates that Ocugen will only share in the profits from sales in Canada and the U.S. -- and prospects for the latter market took a hit this month, when the company said it would no longer seek an emergency use approval for Covaxin from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Instead, on the FDA's recommendation, it will seek a biologics license application that will take longer to obtain, possibly up to 10 months.

And that brings tons of risk for investors. The company generated <i>no revenue</i> in the first three months of 2021, and that alone is a big enough reason to stay away from this healthcare stock. When you take away the meme hype, there isn't much reason or substance behind an investment in Ocugen.</p>\n<p>A market crash may bring down its price, but even if it were to fall to less than $1, Ocugen would still be a risky buy and not <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> I'd be willing to take a chance on.</p>\n<h3>2. Tesla</h3>\n<p>Tesla isn't a bad business, and I get why people are fans of it. The electric-vehicle maker has significant potential as the demand rises for more environmentally friendly cars. And Tesla has come a long way in strengthening its financials. Once consistently in the red, it was profitable over the past 12 months -- and has even been included in the <b>S&amp;P 500</b>.The company has turned itself into a much more formidable investment.</p>\n<p>However, at 3%, its net margins are still razor-thin. The stock trades at more than 19 times revenue and a staggering 620 times its profits. The average holding in the&nbsp;<b>SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust</b> trades at multiples of just 2.9 times sales and 26 times earnings.&nbsp; As with Ocugen, retail investors have driven up the price of Tesla's stock to obscene levels, making it hard to buy shares of what otherwise could be a solid long-term investment.</p>\n<p>The other problem I have with Tesla is its potential exposure to <b>Bitcoin</b> (CRYPTO: BTC). CEO Elon Musk has been flip-flopping on whether his company will accept the cryptocurrency for payments on vehicles. If Musk decides that Tesla should do so, that exposes the company to a lot of risk. All currencies normally fluctuate somewhat, but Bitcoin's volatility could send a company's financials on a wild roller coaster ride.</p>\n<p>Musk has an impressive following,&nbsp;but his leadership style adds an element of risk to an already expensive and vulnerable stock. A crash in the markets would probably make Tesla's stock cheaper, but for me, it wouldn't be enough to offset the level of risk involved.</p>\n<h3>3. Snowflake</h3>\n<p>Of the three stocks on this list, Snowflake is the one I'd be most likely to buy. My biggest concerns with this business relate to its competitiveness and ability to turn a profit. Although sales have been increasing -- for the three months ending April 30, they more than doubled to $229 million from the prior-year period -- the company's losses have also doubled during that time.</p>\n<p>And competition for cloud-based data and analytics can be fierce. Companies such as <b>Amazon.com</b>, <b>Microsoft</b>, and <b>Alphabet&nbsp;</b>are some of the bigger names in the space -- and to complicate things, Snowflake also uses their services.&nbsp;For now, there appears to be enough room for all these major players to co-exist, but that still poses a risk to Snowflake's business. The lack of a sustainable competitive advantage, or moat, makes the stock particularly vulnerable should one of these larger companies try to expand and fight for more market share.</p>\n<p>Those risks make it hard to stomach the stock's whopping price-to-sales multiple, which sits at 90. Even with a significant correction in price, the lack of profitability and dependence on companies that could pose threats to Snowflake's long-term business would be enough of a reason for me to pass on the company and opt for more attractive growth opportunities instead.</p>","source":"fool_stock","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>3 Obscenely Overpriced Stocks I Wouldn't Buy Even if the Market Crashes</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\">\n3 Obscenely Overpriced Stocks I Wouldn't Buy Even if the Market Crashes\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-22 22:13 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/22/3-obscenely-overpriced-stocks-i-wouldnt-buy-even-i/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Last week was a rough one for the markets -- their worst since October.

It does not require armies of business or data analysts sat in the basement to produce reports digestible by the folks in the big offices on the top floor. This means that correctly deployed, the products offer the dream of analytics companies since the days when \"extract, transform, load\" was new and cool - reduced cost of report production and increased actionability of those reports. Thus far we have yet to talk to a user that didn't think the software had changed their business for the better. No doubt there are some dissatisfied users, but we've yet to speak to any.</p>\n<p>Partly of the management team's own making (\"we love retail investors\"), partly due to the \"master of the dark arts\" reputation the company had fostered during its long gestation period as a privately-owned, CIA-backed business, and partly due to the zeitgeist, Palantir is an incredibly well-followed stock and one that seemingly causes angst amongst shareholders and non-shareholders alike. Just go check your favorite stock board and see the screeching. Our choice of poison is the PLTR board on StockTwits, which ishere. We can use this as an example of the strangely high level of interest in this enterprise software stock. It has 168k followers on that board, which compared to others on the platform is half as many as Microsoft and perhaps of more relevance, more than half as many as the current meme favorite, AMC. And the posts are absolutely breathless. Again, this is an enterprise software company, not an altcoin.</p>\n<p>If you own PLTR stock or are thinking of doing so, our exhortation to you would be to take a step back, calm down, and with a cool head look at the numbers and the stock chart. This is our approach, and it has lead to the name being a high-conviction favorite of ours. When the stock has swooned, we're relaxed; if it moves up in the coming days and weeks, we'll be relaxed. Palantir is, we think, a very strong long term hold stock. If we can leave you with one thought after you read our analysis, it would be: focus on the signal, ignore the noise. And that, after all, is what Palantir Technologies customers pay it to help them do. As a shareholder? The stock can pay you for doing the same.</p>\n<p><b>PLTR Stock Price</b></p>\n<p>Let's first take a look at PLTR's stock price and its evolution since the direct listing last year. It has, in short, been rather volatile.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9c352517d3fdee0325a7ed80cfe61207\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"379\"><span>Source: YCharts.com</span></p>\n<p>It's the volatility that leads to some of the stock board screeching. But if you just step back you would say that thus far this has been a terrifically successful direct listing, with the stock up 150% since then, versus mid-20s% total returns from the main indices (we use the SPY and QQQ ETFs above as proxies for the S&amp;P500 and the Nasdaq respectively).</p>\n<p>If you look shorter term, since the February 2021 highs, you can see more cause for concern among short-term holders. This chart runs from 1 February this year, to date.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0b6e221de3f33956330342f0010cb029\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"381\"><span>Source: YCharts.com</span></p>\n<p>Since, inevitably, many people buy near the top of a run, this means there are many holders sat on a loss and hoping for a recovery, and probably many that have sold, absorbing the loss. As always, if you zoom too far in, you can miss the big picture. We believe Palantir stock has a very bright future.</p>\n<p><b>Palantir Valuation</b></p>\n<p>By way of background, here's the numbers on PLTR. The table below is patchy because as a new issue, it takes time for the company's SEC reports to build up a picture of the past. In 3-4 quarters' time we will be able to see a much clearer picture of the quarter-to-quarter history and how the growth flywheel is moving. First, revenue down to EBITDA.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4ef965d0aa18087da24ed87c59e9377a\" tg-width=\"505\" tg-height=\"680\"><span>Source: Company SEC filings,YCharts.com, Cestrian Analysis</span></p>\n<p>Now, capex down to net debt and remaining performance obligation.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/07de8f157aa9059c61db0a5fdcacbcc4\" tg-width=\"496\" tg-height=\"411\"><span>Source: Company SEC filings,YCharts.com, Cestrian Analysis</span></p>\n<p>The first half of 2021 has been characterized by a material selloff in growth names, with value stocks being the principal beneficiary. In recent weeks, the market has become a little kinder to growth names and in our house view, that will persist for the remainder of the year. Palantir's valuation multiples have moved up materially of late, which partly reflects the market's warming towards growth names, and partly the improvement in PLTR's own growth rates that you see above.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eade11b880c661731fab7c27c81d528f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"378\"><span>Source: YCharts.com</span></p>\n<p>Folks get all steamed up about valuation multiples - is stock X<i>really</i>worth Y times revenue or Z times cashflow? - but in truth, there is no science to it. In a bull market for growth names, the faster you grow and the more profitably you do it and the more visibility you have into future growth, the more expensive your stock, relative to other such stocks. In valuation, everything is relative, there are no absolutes. Ten years ago, paying 10x TTM revenue for a software company was considered expensive, today, plenty trade at 40x TTM revenue plus. It just is what it is.</p>\n<p>Palantir today trades at the following multiples:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ddbc7d4aca650c4e6b406c336671ec9b\" tg-width=\"246\" tg-height=\"299\"><span>Source: Company SEC filings, YCharts.com, Cestrian Analysis</span></p>\n<p>The EBITDA and cashflow multiples are clearly absurd if you think that discounted cashflow is any kind of way to measure stock valuations, but since we think DCF is about as relevant to valuing growth names as is the color of the company's logo, we don't take any notice of that. 35x TTM revenue for a business with long-lived government and corporate contracts, the demonstrated ability to generate both accounting and cash profits, and growing revenue at 49% in Q1 vs the prior year Q1? In the current market context that seems fine to us.</p>\n<p><b>Is Palantir A Long-Term Stock?</b></p>\n<p>So, is Palantir a good long-term stock? We find scant assistance from sell-side analyst targets which seem to range from $17-30 looking twelve months out.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1f3ef1518eb94d1152c976ad16e462bb\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"223\"><span>Source: TipRanks</span></p>\n<p>We think the answer lies in doing two kinds of actual analysis (as opposed to just deciding the stock might move up a few dollars or down a few dollars which appears to be the basis of price targets!).</p>\n<p><b>Palantir Stock Forecast In 5 Years</b></p>\n<p><b>Fundamental Analysis</b></p>\n<p>The first kind of analysis we think is helpful here is to consider the fundamentals. Here we take the management team's commentary on likely forward growth rates (they target 30% long-run growth), but jacked them<i>up</i>a little because we think the team is sandbagging somewhat. We then assign rising EBITDA margins, cap them at what used to be about right for a well-run enterprise software and services business - 20% - it's quite possible that PLTR can beat this if they hand over much of the services work to consultant partners over time, but let's say 20% terminal EBITDA margins for now. Then we assign a cautious rate of conversion of EBITDA into unlevered pre-tax free cashflow (= EBITDA - capex - change in working capital) such that around 20% of EBITDA leaks into the ether somehow. (This is just a way to model cash generation conservatively. If 20% leaked somewhere it would show up on the balance sheet in poor receivables or huge prepayments or something else. It's a modeling device, it's not real).</p>\n<p>Back to valuation multiples for a moment.</p>\n<p>Where valuation multiples<i>do</i>matter is in the direction of travel between the time you buy a stock and the time you sell it. If multiples expand, that is the greatest source of free money you ever could hope for. Alchemy has nothing on multiple expansion. And if they compress, you can own a company performing wonderfully on its financial statements yet its stock may just not move up at all, or, worse, go down. From a fundamentals perspective, this is the key question long term investors need to ask of PLTR stock. In our house view the company will continue to perform well. The principal risk to returns comes from whether multiples will expand, compress, or stay level. In our 5-year outlook we assume those multiples will tail off somewhat. That's not based on any Fed-whispering, inflation analysis, velocity of money circulation enquiry or anything like that. It's just a modestly cautious modeling device. Multiples could go up a lot, down a lot, stay flat. Who knows. But you have to come up with some assumptions to forecast a stock on fundamentals, so, these are our working assumptions.</p>\n<p>Put all that stuff together could point to a runup from $24 today to $50 or so in 2024, and on to $60 or so in 2025. Now, compared to playingmeme stockswith the best of them, that's not very exciting. But compared to most periods of investing in stocks, doubling your money in three years isn't so bad.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5d4e004057976b6da047f994b01b5a99\" tg-width=\"439\" tg-height=\"288\"><span>Source: Company SEC filings,YCharts.com, Cestrian Analysis</span></p>\n<p>From a fundamentals point of view, we see the key risks as fairly simple. One, can the company get out of its own way, meaning, can it execute an increasing pure software model, farming more and more services out to integrator partners. We really do not want to see the company making its numbers by selling consulting time - that's not scalable and is as a result not worth anything like the kinds of multiples above, which assume a software business model. And two, will those multiples hold up. So, quarter to quarter, in our live coverage of the business, that's what we're looking at. Revenue growth vs. gross margin vs. UFCF margins (that tells you all you need to know about the type of revenue and its valuation potential), and, prevailing market multiples for growth names.</p>\n<p><b>Chart Analysis</b></p>\n<p>Chart analysis is particularly relevant to the near term outlook for PLTR and that is itself relevant to the long term, because very often the prevailing view on this name seems to be something highly analytical like, \"it will never see $40 again lol\". The fact that the stock is a little stuck below $25 despite improving fundamentals and a thawing market for growth names isn't any kind of magic. It's just simple demand and supply. The chart below shows you that in that $25 zip code there have been a<i>whole</i>lot of shares traded in the past. And we know that PLTR is a favorite of retail - that 168k follower number above tells you that. And we know that diamond hands are something of a myth among retail investors. When markets drop hard like growth did in H1 2021, then come back, you very often can find folks very happy just to make their money back, or most of it. Relieved, having bought PLTR at say $25-30, folks start selling, because at one point they were looking at a $17 handle and saying, please don't send me a margin call now, pretty please.</p>\n<p>This chart looks horribly complicated, but like all stock charts, it isn't really, once you free your mind and think about what it is telling you about what market participants are doing.</p>\n<p>If you think stock charts are bunk, they aren't. Prepared correctly they can sometimes tell you a<i>lot</i>about the future direction of a stock. So, even if you think this is just some kind of kindergarten coloring-in contest which has gotten carried away with itself, bear with us.</p>\n<p>We think this chart on PLTR is a beauty. Because we think it tells you that with any kind of market tailwind, once PLTR pushes up to $30 or so, it can fly much further. Much further. And since our fundamental analysis tells us that $50-60/share is possible, that our chart says that $30 is surmountable, is another piece of evidence for us that indicates this can be very good long term investment.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/46156df04fcc804d791f980313140d41\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"299\"><span>Source: TradingView, Cestrian Analysis</span></p>\n<p>Now, if you are an actual technical analyst you can skip what follows because either (1) you already figured it or more likely (2) you have a different and better take on the chart on account of being an actual technical analyst. We aren't technical analysts. We just like messing about with Crayolas. But this is our take:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>This chart shows the whole period from direct listing to today.</li>\n <li>The wide colored horizontal bands show something called the Fibonacci retracement levels. That's a complicated way of saying, if you look at the runup of the stock from its lows to its highs, at what levels on the way back down is it likely to find support? Due to (i) some poorly-understood interlinking between absolute numbers and mammalian brain structure (no, really) and more importantly (ii) the fact that everybody trades according to Fib levels, you can see PLTR find support on the way back down at firstly the 50% retracement (= lost half the value gained on the runup) briefly during February, then it drops quickly to the 61.8% retracement level in late February and hovers around it till early May, whereupon it really starts digging and nearly hits the 78.6% retracement level. That is one big ol selloff, too much by any measure, which is why you see that big, fast reversal on May 11. And allowing for a little oscillation, the stock has moved up since then.</li>\n <li>The upward-sloping thick black line on the right hand side of the chart shows you a rising support level through May and June. The stock is making higher lows each day, which is bullish.</li>\n <li>Now the interesting part. Those blue and yellow lines protruding from right to left tell you the historic volumes of stock traded at any given price. The thick black horizontal line is the \"point of control\" ie. the center of gravity of all those sales. And, lo and behold, between that rising support line and the point of control line, you can see the stock moving up and wanting to punch up through that point of control line. Which is, as you can see, a line of resistance or support stretching back to November 2020. This is why we<i>love</i>stock charts, because of the magic they sometimes reveal.</li>\n <li>Palantir stock is in a firefight between bulls and bears right now. Every time it moves up some, you have a whole lot of people saying, phew and double phew I got my money back or most of it, and selling. And that rush to liquidate is holding up the stock's move upwards. But sooner or later, in our view, the supply of shares for sale will dry up. Because, one, the market is warming to growth names and, two, PLTR is doing well on its fundamentals and is likely to see some improved sentiment around the market. So if the stock can push up to where you see relatively few stocks traded, relatively few disappointed owners - the $30 zone and beyond - then we think the relentless supply of \"for sale\" shares is likely to dry up. And<i>that</i>means the stock can move up much more easily from say $30-40 than it can from $20-30.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>So, our view here is simple. Company fundamentals strong and improving. Market backdrop, warming towards growth names.

But if you do have a choice in the matter, and you have a time horizon longer than the weekend (which, diamond hands notwithstanding, seems to be the extent of the meme community's outlook), we think PLTR stock is a resounding Buy.

It does not require armies of business or data analysts sat in the basement to produce reports digestible by the folks in the big offices on the top floor. This means that correctly deployed, the products offer the dream of analytics companies since the days when \"extract, transform, load\" was new and cool - reduced cost of report production and increased actionability of those reports. Thus far we have yet to talk to a user that didn't think the software had changed their business for the better. No doubt there are some dissatisfied users, but we've yet to speak to any.\nPartly of the management team's own making (\"we love retail investors\"), partly due to the \"master of the dark arts\" reputation the company had fostered during its long gestation period as a privately-owned, CIA-backed business, and partly due to the zeitgeist, Palantir is an incredibly well-followed stock and one that seemingly causes angst amongst shareholders and non-shareholders alike. Just go check your favorite stock board and see the screeching. Our choice of poison is the PLTR board on StockTwits, which ishere. We can use this as an example of the strangely high level of interest in this enterprise software stock. It has 168k followers on that board, which compared to others on the platform is half as many as Microsoft and perhaps of more relevance, more than half as many as the current meme favorite, AMC. And the posts are absolutely breathless. Again, this is an enterprise software company, not an altcoin.\nIf you own PLTR stock or are thinking of doing so, our exhortation to you would be to take a step back, calm down, and with a cool head look at the numbers and the stock chart. This is our approach, and it has lead to the name being a high-conviction favorite of ours. When the stock has swooned, we're relaxed; if it moves up in the coming days and weeks, we'll be relaxed. Palantir is, we think, a very strong long term hold stock. If we can leave you with one thought after you read our analysis, it would be: focus on the signal, ignore the noise. And that, after all, is what Palantir Technologies customers pay it to help them do. As a shareholder? The stock can pay you for doing the same.\nPLTR Stock Price\nLet's first take a look at PLTR's stock price and its evolution since the direct listing last year. It has, in short, been rather volatile.\nSource: YCharts.com\nIt's the volatility that leads to some of the stock board screeching. But if you just step back you would say that thus far this has been a terrifically successful direct listing, with the stock up 150% since then, versus mid-20s% total returns from the main indices (we use the SPY and QQQ ETFs above as proxies for the S&P500 and the Nasdaq respectively).\nIf you look shorter term, since the February 2021 highs, you can see more cause for concern among short-term holders. This chart runs from 1 February this year, to date.\nSource: YCharts.com\nSince, inevitably, many people buy near the top of a run, this means there are many holders sat on a loss and hoping for a recovery, and probably many that have sold, absorbing the loss. As always, if you zoom too far in, you can miss the big picture. We believe Palantir stock has a very bright future.\nPalantir Valuation\nBy way of background, here's the numbers on PLTR. The table below is patchy because as a new issue, it takes time for the company's SEC reports to build up a picture of the past. In 3-4 quarters' time we will be able to see a much clearer picture of the quarter-to-quarter history and how the growth flywheel is moving. First, revenue down to EBITDA.\nSource: Company SEC filings,YCharts.com, Cestrian Analysis\nNow, capex down to net debt and remaining performance obligation.\nSource: Company SEC filings,YCharts.com, Cestrian Analysis\nThe first half of 2021 has been characterized by a material selloff in growth names, with value stocks being the principal beneficiary. In recent weeks, the market has become a little kinder to growth names and in our house view, that will persist for the remainder of the year. Palantir's valuation multiples have moved up materially of late, which partly reflects the market's warming towards growth names, and partly the improvement in PLTR's own growth rates that you see above.\nSource: YCharts.com\nFolks get all steamed up about valuation multiples - is stock Xreallyworth Y times revenue or Z times cashflow? - but in truth, there is no science to it. In a bull market for growth names, the faster you grow and the more profitably you do it and the more visibility you have into future growth, the more expensive your stock, relative to other such stocks. In valuation, everything is relative, there are no absolutes. Ten years ago, paying 10x TTM revenue for a software company was considered expensive, today, plenty trade at 40x TTM revenue plus. It just is what it is.\nPalantir today trades at the following multiples:\nSource: Company SEC filings, YCharts.com, Cestrian Analysis\nThe EBITDA and cashflow multiples are clearly absurd if you think that discounted cashflow is any kind of way to measure stock valuations, but since we think DCF is about as relevant to valuing growth names as is the color of the company's logo, we don't take any notice of that. 35x TTM revenue for a business with long-lived government and corporate contracts, the demonstrated ability to generate both accounting and cash profits, and growing revenue at 49% in Q1 vs the prior year Q1? In the current market context that seems fine to us.\nIs Palantir A Long-Term Stock?\nSo, is Palantir a good long-term stock? We find scant assistance from sell-side analyst targets which seem to range from $17-30 looking twelve months out.\nSource: TipRanks\nWe think the answer lies in doing two kinds of actual analysis (as opposed to just deciding the stock might move up a few dollars or down a few dollars which appears to be the basis of price targets!).\nPalantir Stock Forecast In 5 Years\nFundamental Analysis\nThe first kind of analysis we think is helpful here is to consider the fundamentals. Here we take the management team's commentary on likely forward growth rates (they target 30% long-run growth), but jacked themupa little because we think the team is sandbagging somewhat. We then assign rising EBITDA margins, cap them at what used to be about right for a well-run enterprise software and services business - 20% - it's quite possible that PLTR can beat this if they hand over much of the services work to consultant partners over time, but let's say 20% terminal EBITDA margins for now. Then we assign a cautious rate of conversion of EBITDA into unlevered pre-tax free cashflow (= EBITDA - capex - change in working capital) such that around 20% of EBITDA leaks into the ether somehow. (This is just a way to model cash generation conservatively. If 20% leaked somewhere it would show up on the balance sheet in poor receivables or huge prepayments or something else. It's a modeling device, it's not real).\nBack to valuation multiples for a moment.\nWhere valuation multiplesdomatter is in the direction of travel between the time you buy a stock and the time you sell it. If multiples expand, that is the greatest source of free money you ever could hope for. Alchemy has nothing on multiple expansion. And if they compress, you can own a company performing wonderfully on its financial statements yet its stock may just not move up at all, or, worse, go down. From a fundamentals perspective, this is the key question long term investors need to ask of PLTR stock. In our house view the company will continue to perform well. The principal risk to returns comes from whether multiples will expand, compress, or stay level. In our 5-year outlook we assume those multiples will tail off somewhat. That's not based on any Fed-whispering, inflation analysis, velocity of money circulation enquiry or anything like that. It's just a modestly cautious modeling device. Multiples could go up a lot, down a lot, stay flat. Who knows. But you have to come up with some assumptions to forecast a stock on fundamentals, so, these are our working assumptions.\nPut all that stuff together could point to a runup from $24 today to $50 or so in 2024, and on to $60 or so in 2025. Now, compared to playingmeme stockswith the best of them, that's not very exciting. But compared to most periods of investing in stocks, doubling your money in three years isn't so bad.\nSource: Company SEC filings,YCharts.com, Cestrian Analysis\nFrom a fundamentals point of view, we see the key risks as fairly simple. One, can the company get out of its own way, meaning, can it execute an increasing pure software model, farming more and more services out to integrator partners. We really do not want to see the company making its numbers by selling consulting time - that's not scalable and is as a result not worth anything like the kinds of multiples above, which assume a software business model. And two, will those multiples hold up. So, quarter to quarter, in our live coverage of the business, that's what we're looking at. Revenue growth vs. gross margin vs. UFCF margins (that tells you all you need to know about the type of revenue and its valuation potential), and, prevailing market multiples for growth names.\nChart Analysis\nChart analysis is particularly relevant to the near term outlook for PLTR and that is itself relevant to the long term, because very often the prevailing view on this name seems to be something highly analytical like, \"it will never see $40 again lol\". The fact that the stock is a little stuck below $25 despite improving fundamentals and a thawing market for growth names isn't any kind of magic. It's just simple demand and supply. The chart below shows you that in that $25 zip code there have been awholelot of shares traded in the past. And we know that PLTR is a favorite of retail - that 168k follower number above tells you that. And we know that diamond hands are something of a myth among retail investors. When markets drop hard like growth did in H1 2021, then come back, you very often can find folks very happy just to make their money back, or most of it. Relieved, having bought PLTR at say $25-30, folks start selling, because at one point they were looking at a $17 handle and saying, please don't send me a margin call now, pretty please.\nThis chart looks horribly complicated, but like all stock charts, it isn't really, once you free your mind and think about what it is telling you about what market participants are doing.\nIf you think stock charts are bunk, they aren't. Prepared correctly they can sometimes tell you alotabout the future direction of a stock. So, even if you think this is just some kind of kindergarten coloring-in contest which has gotten carried away with itself, bear with us.\nWe think this chart on PLTR is a beauty. Because we think it tells you that with any kind of market tailwind, once PLTR pushes up to $30 or so, it can fly much further. Much further. And since our fundamental analysis tells us that $50-60/share is possible, that our chart says that $30 is surmountable, is another piece of evidence for us that indicates this can be very good long term investment.\nSource: TradingView, Cestrian Analysis\nNow, if you are an actual technical analyst you can skip what follows because either (1) you already figured it or more likely (2) you have a different and better take on the chart on account of being an actual technical analyst. We aren't technical analysts. We just like messing about with Crayolas. But this is our take:\n\nThis chart shows the whole period from direct listing to today.\nThe wide colored horizontal bands show something called the Fibonacci retracement levels. That's a complicated way of saying, if you look at the runup of the stock from its lows to its highs, at what levels on the way back down is it likely to find support? Due to (i) some poorly-understood interlinking between absolute numbers and mammalian brain structure (no, really) and more importantly (ii) the fact that everybody trades according to Fib levels, you can see PLTR find support on the way back down at firstly the 50% retracement (= lost half the value gained on the runup) briefly during February, then it drops quickly to the 61.8% retracement level in late February and hovers around it till early May, whereupon it really starts digging and nearly hits the 78.6% retracement level. That is one big ol selloff, too much by any measure, which is why you see that big, fast reversal on May 11. And allowing for a little oscillation, the stock has moved up since then.\nThe upward-sloping thick black line on the right hand side of the chart shows you a rising support level through May and June. The stock is making higher lows each day, which is bullish.\nNow the interesting part. Those blue and yellow lines protruding from right to left tell you the historic volumes of stock traded at any given price. The thick black horizontal line is the \"point of control\" ie. the center of gravity of all those sales. And, lo and behold, between that rising support line and the point of control line, you can see the stock moving up and wanting to punch up through that point of control line. Which is, as you can see, a line of resistance or support stretching back to November 2020. This is why welovestock charts, because of the magic they sometimes reveal.\nPalantir stock is in a firefight between bulls and bears right now. Every time it moves up some, you have a whole lot of people saying, phew and double phew I got my money back or most of it, and selling. And that rush to liquidate is holding up the stock's move upwards. But sooner or later, in our view, the supply of shares for sale will dry up.

Market backdrop, warming towards growth names. Stock chart saying, just a little bit further now, just a little more supply of shares-for-sale from \"weak hands\" as the meme fraternity likes to say, and then this stock can really move up.\nIs Palantir Stock A Buy, Sell Or Hold Now?\nIf you bought the stock at $40-something and your best-friend-turned-nemesis broker is calling asking for their margin back, well, you may not have a choice. But if you do have a choice in the matter, and you have a time horizon longer than the weekend (which, diamond hands notwithstanding, seems to be the extent of the meme community's outlook), we think PLTR stock is a resounding Buy.

The new deal will expand its existing partnerships with both agencies.\nSpace Force will use Palantir's services to support its Space Command and Control program at the National Space Defense Center and the Combined Space Operations Center. The Air Force will use Palantir's analytics tools to support its \"Project Brown Heron\" data gathering platform.\nPalantir will also crunch data for NORAD-NORTHCOM's Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2) upgrades, which focus on \"ingesting and modeling high-scale data\" for planning and executing military missions.\nThis sounds like another positive development for Palantir's government-facing business, but will it bring some bulls back to a stock that lost about 20% of its value over the past three months?\nWhy did Palantir's stock tumble?\nPalantir, which derives its name from the all-seeing orbs in The Lord of the Rings, enables government agencies and companies to gather and analyze data from disparate sources.\nIts Gotham platform mainly serves U.S. government agencies, and it boldly declared it would become the \"default operating system for data access across the U.S. government\" in its S-1 filing last year. Its Foundry platform provides similar tools to private companies and organizations.\nPalantir generated 56% of its revenue from government customers last year, while the remaining 44% came from commercial customers. Here's how fast those businesses grew in 2020 and the first quarter of 2021.\n\n\n\n\nRevenue Growth (YOY)\nFY 2020\nQ1 2021\n\n\nGovernment\n77%\n76%\n\n\nCommercial\n22%\n19%\n\n\nTotal\n47%\n49%\n\n\n\nData source: Palantir. YOY = Year over year.\nPalantir's growth rates are impressive, but three issues are holding the stock back. First, it trades at nearly 30 times this year's sales, which could limit its upside potential as the market rotates from growth to value stocks. It expects its annual revenue to grow at least 30% between 2021 and 2025, but those long-term estimates might not justify its frothy valuations.\nSecond, Palantir is unprofitable on a GAAP basis. Its net loss widened from $580 million in 2019 to $1.2 billion in 2020, then widened again year over year from $54 million to $123 million in the first quarter.\nLastly, some investors believe the long-term growth potential of Palantir's government business is limited. They claim it must expand its commercial business to grow into its valuations, but that it faces too many entrenched competitors in the AI-powered enterprise analytics space.\nStrengthening its core business, but not silencing the bears\nPalantir's new Space Force and Air Force deal will complement its growing list of new and expanded U.S. government contracts, which already include deals with the U.S. Army, the Food and Drug Administration, the Central Intelligence Agency, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.\nThat's good news for Palantir since its revenue from U.S. government agencies surged 83% year over year last quarter and accounted for the lion's share of its government revenue. But it also doesn't really counter any of the bearish arguments against the stock.\nPalantir's government deals also remain opaque and controversial.

But the latest Air Force and Space Force deal only represents 2% of its projected revenue this year, so it won't move the needle or resolve its most pressing problems.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"NGD":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":237,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":138018129,"gmtCreate":1621900908561,"gmtModify":1631891119756,"author":{"id":"3576144409995554","authorId":"3576144409995554","name":"TheCSM","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6efc7d366993c14843b768fab99c5631","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576144409995554","authorIdStr":"3576144409995554"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"HODL","listText":"HODL","text":"HODL","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/138018129","repostId":"1163999126","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":268,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":871901222,"gmtCreate":1637016385950,"gmtModify":1637016385950,"author":{"id":"3576144409995554","authorId":"3576144409995554","name":"TheCSM","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6efc7d366993c14843b768fab99c5631","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3576144409995554","idStr":"3576144409995554"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Would Tesla drop to below 800?&nbsp;","listText":"Would Tesla drop to below 800?&nbsp;","text":"Would Tesla drop to below 800?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/871901222","repostId":"1105194762","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1105194762","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1636990511,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1105194762?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-11-15 23:35","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Nasdaq Index turned down in morning trading with Tesla's market value fell below 1 trillion dollars","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1105194762","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Nasdaq Index turned down in morning trading with Tesla's market value fell below 1 trillion dollars.","content":"<p>Nasdaq Index turned&nbsp;down&nbsp;in morning trading with Tesla's market value fell below 1 trillion dollars.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/201cf466934fa60cc63374e64a0db551\" tg-width=\"772\" tg-height=\"563\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c5d7f306762ab2851bfef58a237e2d55\" tg-width=\"772\" tg-height=\"560\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">According to the documents disclosed by the SEC, Musk sold 1.2 million Tesla Motors shares on the 12th.

Maybe.\nDebates are raging among economists on whether aggressive government spending unleashed since the COVID-19 pandemic will power economic growth, and therefore inflation. Market gauges of U.S. inflation are at multi-year highs, inflation bulls note.\nHold on, warn others, pointing to subdued wage pressures. They note, too, that technological and demographic forces that kept price growth low for so long have not gone away.\nHere are the cases for and against a surge in inflation.\nTHE CASE FOR:\n1/ RAPID REBOUND\nIn the United States, a $1.9 trillion spending package, equivalent to 9% of GDP, and a rapid vaccine rollout are game changers. There’s also talk of another $3 trillion in infrastructure spending.\nWith the U.S. economy seen expanding more than 7% this year, the highest in decades, corporate and consumer spending should get a boost. The IMF predicts 2021 global growth at 5.5%.\nCumulative economic losses in the United States from the pandemic will be roughly a quarter of the hit from the 2008-2009 crisis, BlackRock estimates.\nSo, after a 30-year absence, inflation might “not just moderately overshoot 2% but could threaten to breach 2.5% year-on-year -- the Fed’s implicit tolerance threshold”, says Chetan Ahya, Morgan Stanley’s global head of economics.\nGraphic: US real GDP relative to pre-recession path -\n\n2/ MORE MONEY\nIn 2020, the Federal Reserve increased the amount of dollars in circulation by around 20%. Boost the money supply significantly, argue the monetarists, and inflation follows.\nManoj Pradhan, who makes the case for an inflation revival in The Great Demographic Reversal, co-authored with Charles Goodhart, said huge fiscal stimulus would ensure a robust rise in domestic spending, some of which was already showing up in a rise in M1 money supply.\nThe M2 money supply measure in the United States and Japan is several times levels seen in the last 30 or 35 years, he said, a sign of building inflationary forces.\nGraphic: M2 money supply growth, US, Japan -\n\n3/ RISING WAGES\nCorporate profits rose in recent decades and wages fell as hundreds of millions of lowly-paid Asian workers joined the labour ranks. But now, those populations are ageing.\nIn 2018, U.S. workers earned five times the average Chinese worker, versus 35 times in 2000, according to Pradhan.\nThe median age in major Asian countries is now higher than in the United States, according to brokerage StoneX. Its global macro strategist Vincent Deluard predicts this will slow Asian growth, shrink current account surpluses and lift currencies.\n“For the rest of the world, this will be a massive and unexpected, inflationary shock,” he said.\nTHE CASE AGAINST\n1/ IT’S TEMPORARY\nInflation bears argue post-pandemic price rises are normal and won’t necessarily lead to sustained longer-term gains. Rising prices are currently driven almost exclusively by higher energy and COVID-19-induced supply-side disruptions, they note.\nInflation projections for much of the developed world remain pessimistic: the European Central Bank forecasts euro zone inflation at 1.5% in 2021 but easing to 1.2% in 2022.\nHigh debt levels, too, can weigh on inflation, and G7 government indebtedness reached 142% of GDP by end-2020, from 119% at end-2019, BofA estimates.\nWhat also matters is whether policymakers rein in spending once the output gap -- the difference between potential and actual economic growth rates -- closes, said MFS Investment Management’s Erik Weisman. He predicts the U.S. government will eventually turn off the taps.\nGraphic: Where's the inflation? US and euro inflation rates -\n\n2/ WAGES\nNearly 10 million fewer Americans are in work now than before COVID-19 hit and there is no guarantee that all laid-off workers can return.\nIn the euro zone, average wage growth was slowing even before the pandemic. Despite unemployment at a decade low, wage growth was an annual rate of just 1.7% at end-2019, Fitch notes.\nMike Riddell at Allianz Global Investors said unemployment rates must fall below end-2019 levels to generate much inflation and “we are many years away from that”.\nIn short, labour markets have lots of room for wages to rise before they lift inflation.\nGraphic: G4 economies jobless rates -\n\n3/ THE AMAZON EFFECT\nFrom Amazon to Zoom, tech firms were the pandemic’s biggest corporate winners.\nTechnological advances could continue to pressure prices lower and in fact the pandemic has accelerated moves towards online retail. In Britain, internet sales comprise 35% of all retail sales versus 20% in January 2020.\nGoods and services exposed to e-commerce typically experience disinflation or deflation, Northern Trust economist Carl Tannenbaum noted, adding: “I think (e-commerce) will be a lasting development”.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{".DJI":0.9,".IXIC":0.9,".SPX":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":270,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":355655465,"gmtCreate":1617069783157,"gmtModify":1634522826003,"author":{"id":"3576144409995554","authorId":"3576144409995554","name":"TheCSM","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6efc7d366993c14843b768fab99c5631","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3576144409995554","idStr":"3576144409995554"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Looking to enter if price drops below 600...likely or not?","listText":"Looking to enter if price drops below 600...likely or not?","text":"Looking to enter if price drops below 600...likely or not?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/355655465","repostId":"1194072524","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1194072524","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1617069490,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1194072524?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-03-30 09:58","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla Stock Target Cut by Analyst Because Old Auto Makers Have More in the Tank","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1194072524","media":"BARRON","summary":"Teslastock isdroppingin Monday trading after a former bull trimmed hisprice target.

Recent lab data suggests the drug retains its effectiveness against Omicron, Pfizer said.</p>\n<p>Pfizer raised its 2022 production projections to 120 million courses of treatment from 80 million and said it was ready to start immediate delivery in the United States. The treatment's two-drug regimen includes a new medicine and a second older antiviral called ritonavir.</p>\n<p>\"Paxlovid's approval is a major milestone that marks another step towards making COVID-19 a much more manageable infection,\" said Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Institute for Health Security.</p>\n<p>\"There are two key issues, however, that remain: It will be scarce in the coming weeks and its optimal use requires prompt diagnosis, which can be difficult with the continual testing problems that plague us,\" Adalja added.</p>\n<p>Pfizer has said it has 180,000 treatment courses ready to ship this year. The U.S. government's contract for 10 million courses of the drug is priced at $530 per course.</p>\n<p>The Food and Drug Administration's decision to issue emergency authorization for the treatment comes as the U.S. combats a surge in COVID-19 cases driven by the Omicron variant, with President Joe Biden announcing&nbsp;plans for more federal&nbsp;vaccination and testing sites.</p>\n<p>The pills can fill a treatment gap opened by the Omicron variant, said William Schaffner, a leading infectious disease expert from the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. The most widely used monoclonal antibody treatments for COVID-19 have proven to be less effective at fighting the variant and there is limited supply of the one remaining treatment that works, he said.</p>\n<p>Monoclonal antibodies are typically given intravenously in hospitals, are not widely available and are more than twice the cost of the Pfizer pill.</p>\n<p>The Omicron variant, first identified in southern Africa and Hong Kong in November, has spread across the world and now constitutes over 70% of new coronavirus cases in the United States, according to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Prior infection and vaccines have been shown in studies to only partly prevent infection from the variant, though a booster shot does increase protection.</p>\n<p>The FDA said it authorized Paxlovid for emergency use for the treatment of mild-to-moderate disease in adults and children 12 years and older, who are at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19.</p>\n<p>The drug is available by prescription only and should be initiated as soon as possible after diagnosis of COVID-19 and within five days of symptom onset, the FDA&nbsp;said. The pills are meant to be taken every 12 hours for five days beginning shortly after the onset of symptoms.</p>\n<p>While the clinical trials did not include patients under the age of 18, Pfizer said, the authorized adult dosing regimen is expected to result in comparable blood concentration levels of the drug in pediatric patients 12 and older weighing at least 40 kg (88.2 lbs).</p>\n<p>The second drug, ritonavir, is known to have interactions with some other prescription medicines. Pfizer has said that should be manageable and suggested most patients would be able to lower the dose of their other medications while being treated for COVID-19.</p>\n<p>Pfizer said it plans to file a new drug application with the FDA in 2022 for potential full regulatory approval.

Fed Chairman Jerome Powell reaffirmed on Wednesday his vow to keep monetary conditions loose for some time to come, even as some worry that inflation could range out of control and markets might overheat.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{".DJI":0.9,".IXIC":0.9,".SPX":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":315,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":886019929,"gmtCreate":1631537785761,"gmtModify":1631887422799,"author":{"id":"3576144409995554","authorId":"3576144409995554","name":"TheCSM","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6efc7d366993c14843b768fab99c5631","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3576144409995554","idStr":"3576144409995554"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Gg","listText":"Gg","text":"Gg","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/886019929","repostId":"2167586988","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2167586988","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1631536350,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2167586988?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-13 20:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Coinbase looking to raise $1.5 billion through debt offering","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2167586988","media":"Reuters","summary":"Sept 13 (Reuters) -

In this report, we&#39;ll pit Lucid Group, Inc. (LCID) and NIO Inc. (NIO) against each other - two of the most interesting EV players that combine strong brands and high-end technological capabilities. In this report, we&#39;ll take a deeper dive into the tech and product side and will look at individual risks for both companies. Overall, I do believe that NIO is the more attractive choice among these two at current prices.</p><p><b>Lucid And NIO In The EV Market</b></p><p>The global EV market has been growing rapidly, with EV sales likely coming in a little north of six million, which is roughly twice as high as during the previous year. Clearly, EVs are a huge growth sector in the global automobile market, although it should be noted that most vehicles sold around the world are still powered by internal combustion engines. Over the years, EV market share should continue to climb rapidly, but it is not looking like EVs will dominate ICE vehicles any time soon.</p><p>The market leaders in the EV space are Tesla and BYD (OTCPK:BYDDY), and, depending on how one counts plug-in hybrids, Volkswagen (OTCPK:VWAGY). NIO Inc. and Lucid Group, Inc. are not among the largest companies for now. NIO is selling around 11,000 vehicles a month right now, which translates into a ~130,000 annual sales pace. Sales have been growing quickly, however, which is why NIO will most likely sell more than 130,000 vehicles next year, as deliveries should continue to climb sequentially. Lucid is way smaller for now, in terms of deliveries, as the company has likely sold a couple of hundred vehicles this year. Next year, Lucid Group targets deliveries of around 20,000 vehicles - up by a lot versus 2021, but still a relatively small number compared to the deliveries NIO and many other peers will hit next year.</p><p><b>LCID Vs. NIO&#39;s Past Quarterly Performance</b></p><p>As noted above, NIO&#39;s sales performance was way stronger than that of Lucid over the last three months, but that was hardly a surprise as LCID just began delivering vehicles to customers. On a share price basis, however, Lucid fared better:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a7a6e7cb1b1485f32cc25ade9f387a5b\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"433\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>Over the last three months, LCID is up close to 50%, whereas NIO saw its shares drop by close to 20% over the same time frame. In NIO&#39;s case, macro worries about Chinese regulation played a role, whereas LCID benefitted a lot from growing enthusiasm for US-based EV players caused by Rivian&#39;s (RIVN) huge IPO success. On top of that, the start of deliveries also attracted new investors to Lucid&#39;s stock. If analysts are correct, NIO is the much better value today:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0b1d0939d657b284e25d8447ccb211b5\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"481\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>Shares are trading at less than half the consensus price target, which implies 100%+ upside over the next year, whereas LCID is trading almost perfectly in line with the current consensus price target - which implies no upside over the next year. NIO&#39;s underperformance over the last quarter thus seems to position the company well for a strong performance from the current level, whereas the same can&#39;t be said about Lucid.</p><p><b>Lucid Vs. NIO Key Metrics</b></p><p>Let&#39;s take a deeper look at the tech of the two companies, as well as at their branding, and their specific key risks. Both NIO and Lucid are active in the high-end segment of the EV industry, selling vehicles with ASPs well north of the average Tesla. NIO&#39;s ASP is around $70,000, and Lucid&#39;s ASP is even higher than that for now, as the company is selling the most expensive Air<i>Dream</i>version first. Tesla, the current EV leader, has an ASP of around $50,000. Both NIO and Tesla are thus operating in a more luxurious, higher-end segment of the market compared to Tesla. How are these companies able to demand way higher ASPs than Tesla? There are several factors at play, including branding, but one of the most important factors is their great tech.</p><p>NIO&#39;s battery-swapping technology, for example, allows its customers to fully &#34;recharge&#34; in a couple of minutes, while most other EVs take way longer to fully charge. Lucid doesn&#39;t employ battery-swapping, but its racing-tested 900V technology allows for both a huge range as well as for fast charging speeds - Lucid&#39;s architecture allows customers to charge up to 300 miles worth of energy in just 20 minutes. The Tesla S, for reference, uses a ~400V architecture that allows customers to recharge 200 miles in 15 minutes. Clearly, both NIO&#39;s solution, as well as Lucid&#39;s solution, seem superior compared to what Tesla is offering.</p><p>NIO&#39;s and Lucid&#39;s tech also looks highly competitive when it comes to their respective batteries. The Lucid Air Dream has an EPA range of 520 miles, which should be sufficient for almost all use cases. NIO has a larger product portfolio compared to Lucid, but when we take a look at its top-end sedan, battery performance looks even better. The NIO ET7, with a 150kWh battery (smaller options are available, too), has a range of up to 1,000km, which equates to around 620 miles of range. Again, both NIO and Lucid perform well compared to Tesla - the flagship S Plaid has an EPA range of 350 miles. Thanks to its experience in developing and supplying racing engines for electric race cars, Lucid crafts an especially efficient engine:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/edf92a9709beceb826f2e86b3bc25dd6\" tg-width=\"1502\" tg-height=\"829\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Source: Lucid presentation</span></p><p>A smaller, more efficient engine results in lower resource usage and reduces the weight of the vehicle, all else equal. This does, in turn, lead to a longer range, and it also allows for better handling and driving performance, all else equal. Lucid is by far not the biggest EV player today, but its engineers have developed some of the most compelling products and solutions among all currently active EV players.</p><p>NIO puts a lot of focus on technologies that will eventually allow for autonomous driving and puts massive numbers of sensors and huge computing power in its vehicles today. The ET7 uses the following sensing units for that goal:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b39530a306d0b27d76d36bccec0e147d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"331\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Source: NIO</span></p><p>With 33 sensors that use up to 8MP, NIO&#39;s sensing capabilities easily blow away those of Tesla. The Tesla Model 3, which is, according to CEO Musk, ready for full-self-driving, only uses 8 cameras with 1.2MP each. One of NIO&#39;s sensors in the ET7 thus has almost as much sensing performance as all of the cameras in the M3 combined - and NIO uses 32 additional sensors in its model. Clearly, NIO&#39;s offering is superior - and that obviously comes at a price, as NIO is not skimping when it comes to putting the best tech in its vehicles. This is also showcased by the massive processing power of the chips NIO uses in the ET7. The ET7 uses four NVIDIA (NVDA) Orin SoCs, each of which offers slightly more than 250 trillion operations per second, which makes for combined computing power of more than 1,000 TOPS - unheard of in any production vehicle. Using four SoCs at the same time also provides for the redundancy that is required for critical systems in a self-driving scenario. it should be noted that NIO&#39;s self-driving tech is not as excellent on the software side - yet. At least for now, peers such as XPeng (XPEV) seem to employ the stronger algorithms, but that is a problem that NIO can solve over the coming quarters and years, and integrating future software in its vehicles that come with top-notch hardware shouldn&#39;t be a very difficult task. Lucid&#39;s self-driving tech, even though it doesn&#39;t get a lot of recognition yet, is not looking bad at all, either. The DreamDrive suite utilizes 32 onboard sensors, almost on par with NIO&#39;s Aquila system (and 4x more sensors compared to the M3, which is allegedly L5 ready from a hardware perspective).</p><p>Strong tech alone doesn&#39;t make for an attractive vehicle, however, as design, manufacturing quality, etc. have to be considered as well. Luckily, both NIO and Lucid compete very well on that basis, although the data on Lucid is still limited due to the low sales numbers - not too many people have driven a Lucid Air yet, thus data about reliability, etc. is limited. NIO, however, has been selling thousands of vehicles a month for quite some time, and its users are very satisfied with the vehicles&#39; quality. CnTechPost reports that J.D. Power has rated NIO the highest-quality EV company in China, ahead of Tesla. Lucid is not active in the country yet, but test drives by a wide range of auto journalists and magazines have generally resulted in very positive reviews. Both NIO and Lucid thus look strong from a design, quality, and tech perspective, with NIO putting more focus on customer-friendly items such as battery-swapping and driving assistance, whereas Lucid puts more focus on engine performance, battery tech, etc. Both avenues have their advantages, but I personally could see NIO benefit more from its easy-to-use, customer-friendly approach, as not too many people will buy an EV based on criteria such as the battery architecture. Still, Lucid&#39;s ability to develop high-performing vehicles should come in very handy in the highly competitive EV industry going forward.</p><p>With NIO, the main risk the market seems to worry about now is regulation/politics. I personally do not believe that regulation will be a huge risk for NIO. Chinese companies never were able to compete successfully in the ICE vehicle space, but with EV technologies bringing change to the entire global automobile industry, China saw its chance to become a global automobile powerhouse. Hurting NIO and other Chinese EV players would run contrary to those goals, which is why I believe that China is more interested in nurturing its own EV players, including NIO, instead of hurting them. Still, the market puts a discount on every Chinese company today, and that holds true for NIO as well - which might be a good thing for those seeking to buy into the company at a below-average valuation.</p><p>For Lucid, regulation doesn&#39;t seem like an important risk. Instead, the main risks here are the high valuation and the production ramp. As Tesla has shown, ramping up vehicle production is no easy task. The company oftentimes had to battle with delays and other issues, sometimes summarized as &#34;Production Hell&#34;. The same could hold true for Lucid, which will have to ramp up production at a high speed in the coming months and quarters in order to meet its ambitious production goals. It&#39;s not a certainty that it will experience similar issues to other manufacturers, of course, but due to a lack of experience, this seems a considerable risk worth keeping an eye on. On top of that, LCID&#39;s high valuation could be a considerable risk - shares trade at around 30x next year&#39;s expected revenue, and there is no guarantee at all that those revenues will actually be generated.</p><p><b>Is Lucid Or NIO Stock The Better Buy?</b></p><p>Both NIO and Lucid have attractive products that seem highly competitive in the EV market that is seeing more and more entrants. I do believe that both companies will have operational success over the coming years, driven by strong tech, attractive brands, and compelling product quality. Operational growth does not necessarily result in share price growth, however, as valuations can be a major hurdle when one buys at a price that is too high.</p><p>In NIO&#39;s case, that does not seem like an overly large risk, as shares are inexpensive relative to how other EV players are valued - NIO trades at ~4x next year&#39;s expected revenue, which represents a clear discount compared to LCID, RIVN, TSLA, and so on. Lucid, on the other hand, is trading at a very premium valuation of 30x next year&#39;s sales.</p><p>I do believe that, based on its larger size, more established operations, better progress in ramping production, and due to its much more reasonable valuation, NIO is the better pick among these two today.The recent share price decline makes for an attractive entry point for those interested in owning this top-notch Chinese EV player.</p></body></html>","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>Lucid Vs.

Overall, I do believe that NIO is the more attractive choice among these two at current prices.Lucid And NIO In The EV MarketThe global EV market has been growing rapidly, with EV sales likely coming in a little north of six million, which is roughly twice as high as during the previous year. Clearly, EVs are a huge growth sector in the global automobile market, although it should be noted that most vehicles sold around the world are still powered by internal combustion engines.

Sales have been growing quickly, however, which is why NIO will most likely sell more than 130,000 vehicles next year, as deliveries should continue to climb sequentially. Lucid is way smaller for now, in terms of deliveries, as the company has likely sold a couple of hundred vehicles this year. Next year, Lucid Group targets deliveries of around 20,000 vehicles - up by a lot versus 2021, but still a relatively small number compared to the deliveries NIO and many other peers will hit next year.LCID Vs. NIO's Past Quarterly PerformanceAs noted above, NIO's sales performance was way stronger than that of Lucid over the last three months, but that was hardly a surprise as LCID just began delivering vehicles to customers.

Still, the market puts a discount on every Chinese company today, and that holds true for NIO as well - which might be a good thing for those seeking to buy into the company at a below-average valuation.For Lucid, regulation doesn't seem like an important risk. Instead, the main risks here are the high valuation and the production ramp. As Tesla has shown, ramping up vehicle production is no easy task. The company oftentimes had to battle with delays and other issues, sometimes summarized as \"Production Hell\". The same could hold true for Lucid, which will have to ramp up production at a high speed in the coming months and quarters in order to meet its ambitious production goals. It's not a certainty that it will experience similar issues to other manufacturers, of course, but due to a lack of experience, this seems a considerable risk worth keeping an eye on. On top of that, LCID's high valuation could be a considerable risk - shares trade at around 30x next year's expected revenue, and there is no guarantee at all that those revenues will actually be generated.Is Lucid Or NIO Stock The Better Buy?Both NIO and Lucid have attractive products that seem highly competitive in the EV market that is seeing more and more entrants. I do believe that both companies will have operational success over the coming years, driven by strong tech, attractive brands, and compelling product quality. Operational growth does not necessarily result in share price growth, however, as valuations can be a major hurdle when one buys at a price that is too high.In NIO's case, that does not seem like an overly large risk, as shares are inexpensive relative to how other EV players are valued - NIO trades at ~4x next year's expected revenue, which represents a clear discount compared to LCID, RIVN, TSLA, and so on. Lucid, on the other hand, is trading at a very premium valuation of 30x next year's sales.I do believe that, based on its larger size, more established operations, better progress in ramping production, and due to its much more reasonable valuation, NIO is the better pick among these two today.The recent share price decline makes for an attractive entry point for those interested in owning this top-notch Chinese EV player.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"LCID":0.9,"NIO":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1187,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":134125137,"gmtCreate":1622212046029,"gmtModify":1631891119719,"author":{"id":"3576144409995554","authorId":"3576144409995554","name":"TheCSM","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6efc7d366993c14843b768fab99c5631","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3576144409995554","idStr":"3576144409995554"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Alr at $24!","listText":"Alr at $24!","text":"Alr at $24!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/134125137","repostId":"1157072297","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":484,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":129657498,"gmtCreate":1624372053814,"gmtModify":1631887422872,"author":{"id":"3576144409995554","authorId":"3576144409995554","name":"TheCSM","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6efc7d366993c14843b768fab99c5631","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3576144409995554","idStr":"3576144409995554"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"True...but am holding on to PLTR for long!

After being one of the beneficiaries of the “Reddit rally” along with<b>GameStop</b>(NYSE:<b><u>GME</u></b>) and<b>AMC Entertainment</b>(NYSE:<b><u>AMC</u></b>) in late January, PLTR has been nearly halved from its closing high.</p><p>Shares in fact are down more than 15% year-to-date and threatening to hit their lowest levels since November.</p><p>From that perspective, Palantir simply needs to give investors some good news on Tuesday — any kind of good news.</p><p>But the second is that Palantir still is relatively new to the public markets. The company onlyexecuted its direct listingat the end of September. Tuesday’s earnings release is just the company’s third so far.</p><p>Obviously, investors knew of Palantir before it went public. The prospectus filed with the direct listing included historical financial data.</p><p>Still, there are big questions that still surround Palantir — including exactly what kind of company this is. As investors review the Q1 numbers and listen to the post-earnings conference call, they’re going to have those questions in mind — and they’ll be looking for answers.</p><p><b>A Software Company or a Consulting Firm?</b></p><p>There’s one core question that is paramount for PLTR stock. Is Palantir a software company or a consulting firm?</p><p>It’s too simplistic to say that PLTR is too cheap if it’s the former and too expensive if it’s the latter, but there is some truth to that argument. Even after a pullback, and even backing out net cash, PLTR still trades for about 25x this year’s consensus revenue estimate.</p><p>That’s a software multiple, pure and simple. In fact, it’s a somewhat high software multiple. Companies in that ballpark include<b>Snowflake</b>(NYSE:<b><u>SNOW</u></b>),<b>Datadog</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>DDOG</u></b>), and<b>CrowdStrike</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>CRWD</u></b>)</p><p>It might seem ridiculous to question the operating model this way 18 years after the company’s founding, and obviously, Palantir does offer software. Most notably, its Foundry platform is the key to its go-to-market strategy going forward.</p><p>But the question is to what extent human intervention is needed to make the Big Data platform work. As<i>New York</i>magazine put it inan intriguing profileof Palantir last year:</p><blockquote>Palantir, it turns out, has run headlong into the problem plaguing many tech firms engaged in the quest for total information awareness: Real-world data is often too messy and complex for computers to translate without lots of help from humans.</blockquote><p>One quick-and-dirty way to answer this question is to look at gross margins. Not coincidentally, for Palantir they’ve been all over the place.</p><p>In 2020, excluding stock-based compensation (which was inflated by the direct listing), gross margins were 80.5%. The year before, they came in at just 71.1%.</p><p>Gross margins thus are going to be a point of focus in Q1. Another 80%-plus print would suggest that Foundry is doing what Palantir, and PLTR bulls, believe it can: cement Palantir as a top-tier software company. That in turn could lead PLTR stock to be revalued as such.</p><p><b>What Else Can Move PLTR Stock</b></p><p>Of course, investors will be looking at more than just one metric.</p><p>Revenue will be a point of focus. After the fourth quarter, Palantir guided for45% year-over-year growthin Q1. That’s about in line with the 47% increase posted for full-year 2020.</p><p>Historically, most software companies guide conservatively (and as a result post beats relative to Wall Street expectations). So even after the pullback in PLTR stock, Palantir needs to hit 45% at least. It probably takes something closer to 50% to get investors truly excited.</p><p>That said, a big beat or miss is somewhat unlikely. Palantir serves most large-cap companies under large-scale contracts, and the company gave Q1 guidance halfway through the quarter. Its visibility toward quarter-end should have been quite clear.</p><p>That leaves earnings. Analysts are looking for 4 cents per share from Palantir, and here too a beat seems likely. But how Palantir drives a beat will be important (while a miss looks dangerous for PLTR stock).</p><p>Again, gross margins will be key, but the same is true for spending.</p><p>As an analyst noted late last year, Palantir’s operating expensesdeclined in 2020. Again excluding share-based compensation, sales and marketing spend dropped 23%, and research and development 14%.

After being one of the beneficiaries of the “Reddit rally” along withGameStop(NYSE:GME) andAMC Entertainment(NYSE:AMC) in late January, PLTR has been nearly halved from its closing high.Shares in fact are down more than 15% year-to-date and threatening to hit their lowest levels since November.From that perspective, Palantir simply needs to give investors some good news on Tuesday — any kind of good news.But the second is that Palantir still is relatively new to the public markets. The company onlyexecuted its direct listingat the end of September. Tuesday’s earnings release is just the company’s third so far.Obviously, investors knew of Palantir before it went public. The prospectus filed with the direct listing included historical financial data.Still, there are big questions that still surround Palantir — including exactly what kind of company this is. As investors review the Q1 numbers and listen to the post-earnings conference call, they’re going to have those questions in mind — and they’ll be looking for answers.A Software Company or a Consulting Firm?There’s one core question that is paramount for PLTR stock. Is Palantir a software company or a consulting firm?It’s too simplistic to say that PLTR is too cheap if it’s the former and too expensive if it’s the latter, but there is some truth to that argument. Even after a pullback, and even backing out net cash, PLTR still trades for about 25x this year’s consensus revenue estimate.That’s a software multiple, pure and simple. In fact, it’s a somewhat high software multiple. Companies in that ballpark includeSnowflake(NYSE:SNOW),Datadog(NASDAQ:DDOG), andCrowdStrike(NASDAQ:CRWD)It might seem ridiculous to question the operating model this way 18 years after the company’s founding, and obviously, Palantir does offer software. Most notably, its Foundry platform is the key to its go-to-market strategy going forward.But the question is to what extent human intervention is needed to make the Big Data platform work. AsNew Yorkmagazine put it inan intriguing profileof Palantir last year:Palantir, it turns out, has run headlong into the problem plaguing many tech firms engaged in the quest for total information awareness: Real-world data is often too messy and complex for computers to translate without lots of help from humans.One quick-and-dirty way to answer this question is to look at gross margins. Not coincidentally, for Palantir they’ve been all over the place.In 2020, excluding stock-based compensation (which was inflated by the direct listing), gross margins were 80.5%. The year before, they came in at just 71.1%.Gross margins thus are going to be a point of focus in Q1. Another 80%-plus print would suggest that Foundry is doing what Palantir, and PLTR bulls, believe it can: cement Palantir as a top-tier software company. That in turn could lead PLTR stock to be revalued as such.What Else Can Move PLTR StockOf course, investors will be looking at more than just one metric.Revenue will be a point of focus. After the fourth quarter, Palantir guided for45% year-over-year growthin Q1. That’s about in line with the 47% increase posted for full-year 2020.Historically, most software companies guide conservatively (and as a result post beats relative to Wall Street expectations). So even after the pullback in PLTR stock, Palantir needs to hit 45% at least. It probably takes something closer to 50% to get investors truly excited.That said, a big beat or miss is somewhat unlikely. Palantir serves most large-cap companies under large-scale contracts, and the company gave Q1 guidance halfway through the quarter. Its visibility toward quarter-end should have been quite clear.That leaves earnings. Analysts are looking for 4 cents per share from Palantir, and here too a beat seems likely. But how Palantir drives a beat will be important (while a miss looks dangerous for PLTR stock).Again, gross margins will be key, but the same is true for spending.As an analyst noted late last year, Palantir’s operating expensesdeclined in 2020. Again excluding share-based compensation, sales and marketing spend dropped 23%, and research and development 14%. (General and administrative expense did increase 15%.)The cut in spending seems strange given Palantir’s strong growth. The novel coronavirus pandemic may have played a role, admittedly. The more normalized environment of the first quarter should give some more color on this front.All told, this is not likely to be a quarter where a beat on its own sends PLTR stock higher. Given the number of questions here, “how” might be more important than”how much?”Palantir fell about 6% in morning trading.On the date of publication, Vince Martin did not have (either directly or indirectly) any positions in the securities mentioned in this article.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"PLTR":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":239,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":104543659,"gmtCreate":1620399853871,"gmtModify":1631892936726,"author":{"id":"3576144409995554","authorId":"3576144409995554","name":"TheCSM","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6efc7d366993c14843b768fab99c5631","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3576144409995554","idStr":"3576144409995554"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Happy to see PLTR making into his list of recommended buys!","listText":"Happy to see PLTR making into his list of recommended buys!","text":"Happy to see PLTR making into his list of recommended buys!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/104543659","repostId":"2133520488","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":196,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":345723154,"gmtCreate":1618355330378,"gmtModify":1634293573387,"author":{"id":"3576144409995554","authorId":"3576144409995554","name":"TheCSM","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6efc7d366993c14843b768fab99c5631","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3576144409995554","idStr":"3576144409995554"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Holding on to pltr strong!","listText":"Holding on to pltr strong!","text":"Holding on to pltr strong!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/345723154","repostId":"1113147296","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1113147296","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1618334235,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1113147296?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-14 01:17","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Palantir could be gearing up for a big push higher.

As rates jumped, tech shares (especially ones with lofty valuations and little to no profit) traded lower.\nThat came as Wall Street also expected strong economic recovery as some pandemic restrictions are lifted and vaccines continue to roll out, so they poured into more cyclical stocks. There was also the fear that pandemic recovery could lead to concerning levels of inflation, which may hit tech stocks especially hard as they’ve been relying on easy borrowing for superior growth.\nTech shares hinted toward recovery in the premarket Tuesday as bond yields stabilized, leading investors to buy into the dip. However, the early rise in share prices Tuesday didn’t completely recoup some of the losses.\nCNBC compiled a list of some of the notable tech companies that have shed more than 20% this year as of Tuesday morning:\n\nC3.ai was among the biggest shedders, down more than 39% for the year. The company’s stock was up 2.5% in the premarket. The enterprise artificial intelligence company recently released its first earnings report as a public company, disappointing investors.\n\n\nVideo game software developer Unity has shed nearly 37% for the year. The company’s stock was up about 4.4% in the premarket. Shares began to fall in February after the company provided a forecast that failed to meet analysts’ most optimistic estimates.\n\n\nStichFix shed more than 29% this year, with steep losses following the company’s latest earnings report that was released Monday afternoon. StichFix’s revenue came in short of Wall Street forecasts. The company also cut guidance for the fiscal year that begins in July due to lengthened cycle times. Shares were down more than 22% in the premarket.\n\n\nLemonade was also trading down 26%. Shares were up about 4.2% in the premarket. The insurance company issued conservative guidance for this year as part of its fourth quarter 2020 earnings on Monday.\n\n\nCloud software vendor Qualtrics was down nearly 23% from its first day of trading on Jan 28. Shares were up 2.6% in the premarket.\n\n\nSnowflake has lost more than 21%, as investors pull back from what some called bubble-like valuations. The stock was up 3.7% in the premarket.\n\n\nSoftware company Splunk has shed about 21% this year. Shares were up 2.6% in the premarket.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AI":0.9,"LMND":0.9,"SNOW":0.9,"SPLK":0.9,"U":0.9,"XM":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":348,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":367042006,"gmtCreate":1614898815005,"gmtModify":1703482638987,"author":{"id":"3576144409995554","authorId":"3576144409995554","name":"TheCSM","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6efc7d366993c14843b768fab99c5631","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3576144409995554","idStr":"3576144409995554"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"I have sold some other stocks, preparing to buy the dip!","listText":"I have sold some other stocks, preparing to buy the dip!","text":"I have sold some other stocks, preparing to buy the dip!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/367042006","repostId":"1191218213","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":142,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
