Copyright: Joel Padilla 2023
Palantir Technologies Inc [PLTR]. builds and deploys software platforms for the intelligence community in the United States to assist in counterterrorism investigations and operations. The company provides Palantir Gotham, a software platform which enables users to identify patterns hidden deep within datasets, ranging from signals intelligence sources to reports from confidential informants, as well as facilitates the handoff between analysts and operational users, helping operators plan and execute real-world responses to threats that have been identified within the platform. It also offers Palantir Foundry, a platform that transforms the ways organizations operate by creating a central operating system for their data; and allows individual users to integrate and analyze the data they need in one place. In addition, it provides Palantir Apollo, a software that enables customers to deploy their own software virtually in any environment... If you think that no one is spying on you, think twice.
To analyze this company is complex because of their metrics of last year:
- Gross margin (average): ± 79%
- Operative margin (average): ± -10%
- EBITDA margin (average): ± -9%
- Net margin (average): ± -24%
Due to above, it is not possible to evaluate by some main multiples or financial ratios. On average, its Revenues increases ± 20% YoY. If it is taking that increase, a shares outstanding increases of 2% and a Price to Sell Ratio from 2 to 5, the forward price could be between ± $2 USD and ± $5 USD.
In other hand, if it is considered the last quarter EPS ($0.01 USD) and set as a hypothetical anual EPS of ± $0.04 USD with a hypothetical PER 100 baseline, the price target might be ± $4 USD.
The pros: PLTR works with the government about National Security issues and its commercial area has growth, it has a great Gross Margin and it has had its first two quarter reports positives (could surprise in the future), do not haver Net Debt and the management team owns shares. The cons: PLTR has a lot of stock-based compensations and shares outstanding, its Operative Margin is excesive (having negative impact on the rest) and perhaps, could be overvalued if the conditions do not change drastically.
The best analysis is yours!
