The bulls claimed its data-mining platforms would continue to grow as it signed more government and enterprise contracts.</p>\n<p>The bears pointed out that Palantir was too heavily dependent on government clients, its enterprise business faced too many competitors, it was deeply unprofitable, and its stock was too expensive.</p>\n<p>Palantir's stock price has experienced some wild swings over the past year, but it has still more than doubled since its first trade at $10 per share.</p>\n<p>Today, Palantir is valued at $41.3 billion, or 27 times this year's sales. The bears will argue that the high price-to-sales (P/S) ratio will limit its upside, especially as rising interest rates and inflation make many high-growth tech stocks less attractive.</p>\n<p>But let's look beyond the near-term noise and see if Palantir can still generate big multibagger gains, or even become a trillion-dollar stock, over the next two decades.</p>\n<h2>How fast is Palantir growing?</h2>\n<p>Palantir expects to grow its revenue by at least 30% annually between fiscal 2021 and 2025. That forecast implies its revenue will rise from its target of $1.5 billion this year to at least $4.3 billion in 2025.</p>\n<p>The company expects that growth to be driven by its new and expanded contracts with government agencies, as well as the growth of its Foundry platform for large commercial customers. The accelerating growth of its commercial business over the past year, which notably outpaced the growth of its government business last quarter, supports that thesis.</p>\n<h2>Palantir's path toward a trillion-dollar market cap</h2>\n<p>Palantir hasn't provided any longer-term targets beyond 2025. But based on the growth trajectory of other big data companies like <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CRM\">Salesforce</a> </b>(NYSE:CRM), its annual revenue increase could potentially decelerate and stabilize at about 20% over the following 10 years.</p>\n<p>If it hits its target for 2025, then continues to grow its revenue at an average rate of 20% over the following 10 years, it could generate nearly $27 billion in revenue in 2035.</p>\n<p>If Palantir's revenue growth then slows down to 15% per year, which would be more comparable to <b>Microsoft</b>'s (NASDAQ:MSFT) current rate, it could generate over $53 billion in revenue in 2040.</p>\n<p>Assuming the company is still valued at over 20 times sales, its market cap could surpass $1 trillion. But most tech giants that grow their revenue 15% to 25% annually aren't valued at more than 20 times sales.</p>\n<p>Microsoft, which is expected to generate 17% sales growth this year, trades at 13 times that estimate. Salesforce, which is expected to generate 24% sales growth this year, trades at just 11 times this year's sales.</p>\n<p>Therefore, Palantir's market cap could potentially hit $1 trillion by 2040, but it seems highly unlikely. Instead, it will likely be closer to $500 billion (which would still be a 12-bagger gain from its current valuation) if its stock is trading at a more reasonable P/S ratio of 10.</p>\n<h2>Look beyond the market caps</h2>\n<p>Instead of focusing on Palantir's path toward joining the 12-zero club, investors should focus on its ability to generate sustainable growth.</p>\n<p>The company has gained a firm foothold with the U.S. government, but it still faces competition from internally developed systems. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), for example, has been developing its own platform to replace Palantir's Falcon. If other agencies follow ICE's lead, the company's dream of becoming the \"default operating system for data across the U.S. government\" could abruptly end.</p>\n<p>Palantir is making solid progress in the commercial market, but its Foundry platform still faces plenty of indirect competitors like <b>C3.ai</b>, <b>Salesforce</b>'s Tableau, and Glue from <b>Amazon</b> Web Services.</p>\n<p>The company likely believes its reputation as a battle-hardened platform for the U.S. military and government agencies will attract more enterprise customers.

The bulls claimed its data-mining platforms would continue to grow as it signed more government and enterprise contracts.\nThe bears pointed out that Palantir was too heavily dependent on government clients, its enterprise business faced too many competitors, it was deeply unprofitable, and its stock was too expensive.\nPalantir's stock price has experienced some wild swings over the past year, but it has still more than doubled since its first trade at $10 per share.\nToday, Palantir is valued at $41.3 billion, or 27 times this year's sales. The bears will argue that the high price-to-sales (P/S) ratio will limit its upside, especially as rising interest rates and inflation make many high-growth tech stocks less attractive.\nBut let's look beyond the near-term noise and see if Palantir can still generate big multibagger gains, or even become a trillion-dollar stock, over the next two decades.\nHow fast is Palantir growing?\nPalantir expects to grow its revenue by at least 30% annually between fiscal 2021 and 2025. That forecast implies its revenue will rise from its target of $1.5 billion this year to at least $4.3 billion in 2025.\nThe company expects that growth to be driven by its new and expanded contracts with government agencies, as well as the growth of its Foundry platform for large commercial customers. The accelerating growth of its commercial business over the past year, which notably outpaced the growth of its government business last quarter, supports that thesis.\nPalantir's path toward a trillion-dollar market cap\nPalantir hasn't provided any longer-term targets beyond 2025. But based on the growth trajectory of other big data companies like Salesforce (NYSE:CRM), its annual revenue increase could potentially decelerate and stabilize at about 20% over the following 10 years.\nIf it hits its target for 2025, then continues to grow its revenue at an average rate of 20% over the following 10 years, it could generate nearly $27 billion in revenue in 2035.\nIf Palantir's revenue growth then slows down to 15% per year, which would be more comparable to Microsoft's (NASDAQ:MSFT) current rate, it could generate over $53 billion in revenue in 2040.\nAssuming the company is still valued at over 20 times sales, its market cap could surpass $1 trillion. But most tech giants that grow their revenue 15% to 25% annually aren't valued at more than 20 times sales.\nMicrosoft, which is expected to generate 17% sales growth this year, trades at 13 times that estimate. Salesforce, which is expected to generate 24% sales growth this year, trades at just 11 times this year's sales.\nTherefore, Palantir's market cap could potentially hit $1 trillion by 2040, but it seems highly unlikely. Instead, it will likely be closer to $500 billion (which would still be a 12-bagger gain from its current valuation) if its stock is trading at a more reasonable P/S ratio of 10.\nLook beyond the market caps\nInstead of focusing on Palantir's path toward joining the 12-zero club, investors should focus on its ability to generate sustainable growth.\nThe company has gained a firm foothold with the U.S. government, but it still faces competition from internally developed systems. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), for example, has been developing its own platform to replace Palantir's Falcon. If other agencies follow ICE's lead, the company's dream of becoming the \"default operating system for data across the U.S. government\" could abruptly end.\nPalantir is making solid progress in the commercial market, but its Foundry platform still faces plenty of indirect competitors like C3.ai, Salesforce's Tableau, and Glue from Amazon Web Services.\nThe company likely believes its reputation as a battle-hardened platform for the U.S. military and government agencies will attract more enterprise customers. But there's no guarantee that this appeal will last for decades or fend off newer, hungrier, and more disruptive players in the data-mining market.\nIs Palantir's stock still worth buying?\nI still believe Palantir's stock is a promising long-term investment on the secular growth of the data-mining and analytics market. However, there's a lot of growth already baked into the stock, and its high valuations could limit its near-term and long-term potential. Palantir probably won't hit a trillion-dollar valuation within the next two decades, but it could still outperform the market and generate impressive multibagger gains.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1200,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":364517928,"gmtCreate":1614864208464,"gmtModify":1703482152008,"author":{"id":"3573901914417673","authorId":"3573901914417673","name":"Avatar7","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3573901914417673","idStr":"3573901914417673"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Let it drop further .. to $18","listText":"Let it drop further .. to $18","text":"Let it drop further .. to $18","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/364517928","repostId":"1186673716","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1186673716","pubTimestamp":1614606074,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1186673716?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-03-01 21:41","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Cathie Wood's ARK Invest adds 3.4 million Palantir shares","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1186673716","media":"Seekingalpha","summary":"On Friday, Cathie Wood's ARK Investmentadded about 3.4M Palantir Technologies Inc.  shares.ARK Innov","content":"<p>On Friday, Cathie Wood's ARK&nbsp;Investmentadded about 3.4M&nbsp;<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PLTR\">Palantir Technologies Inc.</a> &nbsp;shares.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ARKK\">ARK Innovation ETF</a> &nbsp;added about 2.5M shares and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ARKW\">ARK Next Generation Internet ETF</a> picked up about 868K shares.</p><p>Palantir shares are up 4.6% pre-market after closing the biggest weekly selloff since the direct listing.</p><p>Last week, Palantir co-founder Stephen Cohen and other execs took advantage of the lockup expiration andsold some shares.</p>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

How an options-buying frenzy is providing another jolt to meme stocks","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1120523685","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"It’s not just individual investors participating in latest squeeze, observers say\nAnother options-fu","content":"<p>It’s not just individual investors participating in latest squeeze, observers say</p>\n<p>Another options-fueled buying frenzy appeared to be sending shares of GameStop Corp. and other “meme” stocks soaring on Thursday. But unlike last month’s market-rattling move, it wasn’t clear that individual investors were the primary driver.</p>\n<p>The primary mechanism, however, appeared largely the same.</p>\n<p>A surge in purchases of GameStop call options, centered on those with a strike price of $60 and due to expire at the end of the week, was seen late Wednesday afternoon, said Gust Kepler, chief executive of BlackBoxStocks, a stock-and-options analytics and social platform. That triggered an alert sent by BlackBoxStocks at 3:27 p.m. Eastern, he said. Another alert was triggered early Thursday by heavy interest in calls with a $125 strike price.</p>\n<p>The company tracks options buying activity, with an eye toward large institutional buyers. Concerted activity by individual investors can also be picked up as brokers, which are part of the institutional universe, move to fill orders. The recent activity appeared to likely be a combination of big, professional players as well as individual buyers, Kepler said, in an interview.</p>\n<p><b>‘Gamma squeeze’</b></p>\n<p>A call option is a financial instrument that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy the underlying security at a set price, known as the strike price, by a certain date. By buying far “out of the money” calls, which have a strike price well above the stock’s present level, investors are betting that a surge in the stock price will net them a healthy profit.</p>\n<p>Buying far out of the money calls is usually a losing proposition, analysts noted, and a surge in interest can make the strategy more expensive as premiums rise in response to demand.</p>\n<p>But the options buying can, under certain circumstances, create conditions in which a price rally feeds on itself. Known as a “gamma squeeze,” this occurs when the sellers of the call options, in order to hedge their positions, buy the underlying stock. As the price of the stock rises, they need to buy more to maintain their hedge, creating the feedback loop.</p>\n<p>GameStop&nbsp;shares soared in late afternoon trade Wednesday, prompting trading halts before it&nbsp;ended with a gain of 104%.Nearly 65 million shares changed hands, with volume surging as the closing bell neared, compared with a recent average daily volume of 14.7 million shares. GameStop shares&nbsp;popped as much as 85% at Thursday’s opening bell. Gains were trimmed by the close, but it still finished at $108.73, up more than 18%.</p>\n<p><b>Where are the shorts?</b></p>\n<p>GameStop, which ended last year near $17 a share, soared as high as $483 in late January as concerted buying efforts initiated by individual investors on Reddit’s WallStreetBets forum contributed to a short squeeze, forcing traders who had bet on falling stock prices to cover their positions, adding to the buying frenzy.</p>\n<p>GameStop shares subsequently fell back, trading below $40 a share last week. The late-January episode briefly rattled financial markets, triggered investigations and brought additional scrutiny, including a high-profile congressional hearing, on online brokers, market makers, and other players.</p>\n<p>It’s also brought attention to the broader role individual investors are playing and the possibility of a sustained pickup in retail interest that could alter market dynamics over the long run.</p>\n<p>The broader stock marketsaw steep lossesthat deepened ahead of the closing bell, though the tech-led fall was blamed largely on a sharp jump in Treasury yields. The Dow Jones Industrial Average&nbsp;dropped nearly 560 points, or 1.8%.

But unlike last month’s market-rattling move, it wasn’t clear that individual investors were the primary driver.\nThe primary mechanism, however, appeared largely the same.\nA surge in purchases of GameStop call options, centered on those with a strike price of $60 and due to expire at the end of the week, was seen late Wednesday afternoon, said Gust Kepler, chief executive of BlackBoxStocks, a stock-and-options analytics and social platform. That triggered an alert sent by BlackBoxStocks at 3:27 p.m. Eastern, he said. Another alert was triggered early Thursday by heavy interest in calls with a $125 strike price.\nThe company tracks options buying activity, with an eye toward large institutional buyers. Concerted activity by individual investors can also be picked up as brokers, which are part of the institutional universe, move to fill orders. The recent activity appeared to likely be a combination of big, professional players as well as individual buyers, Kepler said, in an interview.\n‘Gamma squeeze’\nA call option is a financial instrument that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy the underlying security at a set price, known as the strike price, by a certain date. By buying far “out of the money” calls, which have a strike price well above the stock’s present level, investors are betting that a surge in the stock price will net them a healthy profit.\nBuying far out of the money calls is usually a losing proposition, analysts noted, and a surge in interest can make the strategy more expensive as premiums rise in response to demand.\nBut the options buying can, under certain circumstances, create conditions in which a price rally feeds on itself. Known as a “gamma squeeze,” this occurs when the sellers of the call options, in order to hedge their positions, buy the underlying stock. As the price of the stock rises, they need to buy more to maintain their hedge, creating the feedback loop.\nGameStop shares soared in late afternoon trade Wednesday, prompting trading halts before it ended with a gain of 104%.Nearly 65 million shares changed hands, with volume surging as the closing bell neared, compared with a recent average daily volume of 14.7 million shares. GameStop shares popped as much as 85% at Thursday’s opening bell. Gains were trimmed by the close, but it still finished at $108.73, up more than 18%.\nWhere are the shorts?\nGameStop, which ended last year near $17 a share, soared as high as $483 in late January as concerted buying efforts initiated by individual investors on Reddit’s WallStreetBets forum contributed to a short squeeze, forcing traders who had bet on falling stock prices to cover their positions, adding to the buying frenzy.\nGameStop shares subsequently fell back, trading below $40 a share last week. The late-January episode briefly rattled financial markets, triggered investigations and brought additional scrutiny, including a high-profile congressional hearing, on online brokers, market makers, and other players.\nIt’s also brought attention to the broader role individual investors are playing and the possibility of a sustained pickup in retail interest that could alter market dynamics over the long run.\nThe broader stock marketsaw steep lossesthat deepened ahead of the closing bell, though the tech-led fall was blamed largely on a sharp jump in Treasury yields. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped nearly 560 points, or 1.8%. The S&P 500 fell 2.4%, while the Nasdaq Composite dropped 3.5%.\nSome market watchers, however, saw a possible but not clear-cut link between the GameStop activity and the selloff.\nGameStop might still be a popular short among some hedge funds, said Thomas Lee, managing partner and head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, in a Thursday note. That could be fostering a repeat of the late-January “degrossing” episode, in which hedge funds sold assets in order to reduce leverage, in keeping with “value-at-risk” models.\nMeanwhile, other market watchers questioned how much fuel existed for for a repeat short squeeze, noting a sharp fall in short interest and expectations that remaining shorts are more adequately hedged against sharp moves.\nShort interest in GameStop had reached 140% in January, but has since fallen back closer to 30%, noted Edward Moya, senior market analyst at brokerage Oanda, in a note, observing that professional investors likely also see an opportunity near options expiration dates following last month’s action.\n“One thing is clear, the institutional money behind this move found options expiration as a pivotal opportunity that will make it easier for market disruptions,” Moya wrote. “The violent price swings might remain elevated around options expirations for the Reddit-WallStreetBets crowd.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":226,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":368549669,"gmtCreate":1614341631851,"gmtModify":1703476619847,"author":{"id":"3573901914417673","authorId":"3573901914417673","name":"Avatar7","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3573901914417673","idStr":"3573901914417673"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Too scary to enter in ...","listText":"Too scary to enter in ...","text":"Too scary to enter in ...","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/368549669","repostId":"1120523685","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":226,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":607456631,"gmtCreate":1639580712173,"gmtModify":1639580719626,"author":{"id":"3573901914417673","authorId":"3573901914417673","name":"Avatar7","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3573901914417673","idStr":"3573901914417673"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Tell me your opinion about this news...","listText":"Tell me your opinion about this news...","text":"Tell me your opinion about this news...","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/607456631","repostId":"1159300602","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1159300602","pubTimestamp":1639529768,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1159300602?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-15 08:56","market":"us","language":"en","title":"GRAB Stock: What to Know About the Acquisition Putting Grab in the Spotlight","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1159300602","media":"investor place","summary":"Grab (NASDAQ:GRAB) made its debut on the Nasdaq on Dec. 2 after merging with Altimeter Growth Corp.,","content":"<p>Grab (NASDAQ:GRAB) made its debut on the Nasdaq on Dec. 2 after merging with Altimeter Growth Corp., a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) managed by hedge fund Altimeter Capital.
