In my opinion, this reflects simple price action and is not reflective of future valuation expansion that I consider somewhat inevitable due to persisting AI demand and AMD&#39;s clever AI inference compute positioning.</p><p>Based on my outlook, you are witnessing a temporary pullback based on previous heavy overvaluation.

The price may fall a bit further as it is in a downtrend, but my analysis shows me that the stock has about a 35% margin of safety and could deliver a 35% compound annual growth rate from the present price over the next three years. Therefore, I consider AMD stock to be a Strong Buy.</p><h2 id=\"id_3521348273\">Q4 Preview</h2><p>Of course, avid followers of AMD will remember that in Q3 the company presented Q4 guidance which was below Wall Street&#39;s expectations. This has tempered investor sentiment. At a Q4 revenue of $7.5 billion, the company will have achieved a 22% year-over-year growth and a 10% sequential increase from Q3.</p><p>The Data Center segment accounted for over half of the company&#39;s revenue in Q3, with a 122% year-over-year revenue growth rate. However, the Gaming segment has shown weakness recently, but this is likely to have improved in Q4, not least because of seasonal demand but also because of new product launches, like the Ryzen 9000 X3D chips, released in November 2024.</p><p>It&#39;s worth bearing in mind that AMD&#39;s MI300-series graphics processing units have been labeled the &#34;fastest-ramping product&#34; in the company&#39;s history, with sales exceeding $1 billion in less than two quarters. With the company expecting Data Center graphics processing unit revenue likely to surpass $5 billion for 2024, the bull-case remains strongly intact as major hyperscalers like Microsoft (MSFT) and Meta (META) continue to seek AMD&#39;s offerings as cheaper alternatives to Nvidia&#39;s (NVDA), and often at better performance for specific workloads.</p><p>Whatever the results are at Q4 (results scheduled for Feb, 04), I would not get too hung up on the specifics, but rather watch for guidance and see if this is lower, or higher, than the Wall Street consensus. That will give us some idea of whether the current forward growth horizon for AMD is too optimistic on Wall Street. In my opinion, the company&#39;s Data Center segment will continue to perform exceptionally well over the next two to three years at least because there is an insatiable AI arms race to artificial superintelligence. I believe it is important for AMD shareholders and potential investors to watch management&#39;s comments in Q4 about if they plan to more aggressively focus on AI and are willing to strategically sacrifice more of the other segments&#39; growth while the opportunity for selling graphics processing units, central processing units, and tailored inference chips to AI developers remains remarkable.</p><p>The Embedded segment has shown heavy year-over-year declines in Fiscal 2024, but it has shown stabilization prospects in Q3. Therefore, in Q4 the Embedded segment will more likely than not remain more robust compared to at the beginning of the year. The Client segment has been growing throughout the year, but the rates of growth have slowed considerably, from 49% year-over-year growth in Q2 to 29% year-over-year growth in Q3. Therefore, I expect much more moderate growth from the Client segment in Q4 compared to the Data Center segment, which remains the core area of operations to monitor.</p><h2 id=\"id_17755850\">Valuation</h2><p>For my valuation model, I have chosen a period of three years because I consider this the highest-return holding period before the company&#39;s fundamental growth rates will likely slow.</p><p>I forecast that the company&#39;s annual revenue will reach $44.5 billion for Fiscal 2027, in large part supported by the expanding Data Center segment and tailwinds on other segments from this. In addition, as the company will be benefiting from profit harvesting during the up-cycle of its AI demand cycle, I forecast a GAAP net margin of 30% for Fiscal 2027. This translates to a Fiscal 2027 GAAP net income of $13.35 billion.</p><p>The company&#39;s diluted weighted average shares outstanding have increased at approximately a 10% compound annual growth rate over the past five years. I expect this trend to moderate somewhat as the company further capitalizes on its recent investments to position it in AI. At a 5% share count compound annual growth rate over the next three years, the company will have 1.9 billion outstanding shares. Therefore, I forecast a GAAP earnings per share of $7 for AMD in Fiscal 2027, and a revenue per share of $23.40 for AMD in Fiscal 2027.</p><p>I consider AMD to be reasonably valued right now because its trailing 12-month price-to-sales ratio is down 12.5% from its five-year average, with revenue growth in Fiscal 2025 and 2026 likely to hit around 25%, compared to 25% as a forward five-year average.</p><p>The company typically has a GAAP price-to-earnings ratio of around between 30 and 50 during profit harvesting phases in the past. I believe a GAAP price-to-earnings ratio of 40 is fair and conservative to use as my terminal multiple, which is the midpoint in this band. The result is a Fiscal 2027 price target for AMD of $280.</p><p>AMD&#39;s weighted average cost of capital is 16.85%, with an equity weight of 98.6% and a debt weight of 1.4%. Equity costs 17.03% and debt costs 3.75% after tax. When discounting back my Fiscal 2027 price target for AMD back to the present day over three years, the implied intrinsic stock value is $175. As the stock is currently priced at $115, the implied margin of safety for investment is approximately 35%.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/95862173b7642cab2ab56e709db22128\" alt=\"AMD Valuation (Oliver Rodzianko&#39;s Model)\" title=\"AMD Valuation (Oliver Rodzianko&#39;s Model)\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"326\"/><span>AMD Valuation (Oliver Rodzianko&#39;s Model)</span></p><h2 id=\"id_2216589481\">Risks</h2><p>One of the greatest risks to this thesis, which applies not only to AMD but more broadly to all stocks and particularly tech, is the risk of a recession and intensifying geopolitical conditions surrounding Taiwan. While conditions are currently latent between China and Taiwan in terms of forceful occupation strategies from the former against the latter, it does not mean that China is not planning such actions. Indeed, for those who watched Xi Jinping&#39;s 2025 New Year&#39;s address, they will have noticed he brought up the inevitable issue of China&#39;s commitment to geopolitically recognized unification with Taiwan.</p><blockquote><p>&#34;We Chinese on both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to one and the same family. No one can ever sever the bond of kinship between us, and no one can ever stop China&#39;s reunification, a trend of the times.&#34; — Xi Jinping, <em>2025 New Year&#39;s Address</em></p></blockquote><p>The answer to this uncertainty is a robust cash position to capitalize on any market downturn of any magnitude that may occur. I currently have 1/3 of all assets in cash or equivalents, and plan to keep it this way for the foreseeable future.</p><p>In addition, while AMD&#39;s Data Center segment is positioned for robust growth driven by AI demand, any underperformance or stagnation in its non-Data Center segments could weigh on overall revenue growth and profitability. This is where I think it is really on management to aggressively reorient toward AI and not allow other weaker segments to distract from the revenue and earnings up-ramp available to the company in the next three years. In a weaker outlook, we could be looking at a more moderate price target of $250 or less in Fiscal 2027. That addressed, the demand horizon for AI is robust and AMD is the second-best positioned to capitalize on this demand behind Nvidia, so the operational moat for investment security here is quite wide.</p><h2 id=\"id_2670102579\">Conclusion: Strong Buy</h2><p>This is a time to be greedy when others are fearful. Just because a stock has declined significantly in price recently does not mean its future return prospects are not robust. In fact, the greatest wisdom of all time is simple to understand, but hard to follow. The secret to getting rich has long been stated as sell high and buy low, or be greedy when others are fearful, and fearful when others are greedy. Of course, the company has to be operationally robust with an inflection point, but I believe we have that through financial growth in the next three years largely driven by AI demand and higher performance compute in association with this potentially providing tailwinds to AMD&#39;s other segments. Therefore, I am bullish on the stock at its current valuation, and confidently issue a Strong Buy rating with a three-year time horizon.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1728464409321","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>AMD Q4 Preview: Be Greedy When Others Are Fearful (Rating Upgrade)</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\">\nAMD Q4 Preview: Be Greedy When Others Are Fearful (Rating Upgrade)\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2025-01-17 10:08 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4749786-amd-stock-q4-preview-be-greedy-when-others-are-fearful-rating-upgrade><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryAMD's Data Center segment, driven by AI demand, is forecasted to achieve robust revenue growth, contributing to a projected 35% stock CAGR over the next three years.With a 35% margin of safety,...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4749786-amd-stock-q4-preview-be-greedy-when-others-are-fearful-rating-upgrade\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AMD":"美国超微公司"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4749786-amd-stock-q4-preview-be-greedy-when-others-are-fearful-rating-upgrade","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1194225388","content_text":"SummaryAMD's Data Center segment, driven by AI demand, is forecasted to achieve robust revenue growth, contributing to a projected 35% stock CAGR over the next three years.With a 35% margin of safety, an FY2027 price target of $280, and a discounted intrinsic value of $175, AMD's current $115 price represents a strong buying opportunity.Geopolitical tensions (e.g., Taiwan) and recession risks pose challenges, but AMD's AI positioning and my cash strategy offer resilience and support a bullish outlook.Since my last analysis of AMD where I cautioned that the stock was somewhat overvalued but still well-positioned for long-term growth, it has declined by nearly 30% in price.

I currently have 1/3 of all assets in cash or equivalents, and plan to keep it this way for the foreseeable future.In addition, while AMD's Data Center segment is positioned for robust growth driven by AI demand, any underperformance or stagnation in its non-Data Center segments could weigh on overall revenue growth and profitability. This is where I think it is really on management to aggressively reorient toward AI and not allow other weaker segments to distract from the revenue and earnings up-ramp available to the company in the next three years. In a weaker outlook, we could be looking at a more moderate price target of $250 or less in Fiscal 2027. That addressed, the demand horizon for AI is robust and AMD is the second-best positioned to capitalize on this demand behind Nvidia, so the operational moat for investment security here is quite wide.Conclusion: Strong BuyThis is a time to be greedy when others are fearful. Just because a stock has declined significantly in price recently does not mean its future return prospects are not robust. In fact, the greatest wisdom of all time is simple to understand, but hard to follow. The secret to getting rich has long been stated as sell high and buy low, or be greedy when others are fearful, and fearful when others are greedy. Of course, the company has to be operationally robust with an inflection point, but I believe we have that through financial growth in the next three years largely driven by AI demand and higher performance compute in association with this potentially providing tailwinds to AMD's other segments. Therefore, I am bullish on the stock at its current valuation, and confidently issue a Strong Buy rating with a three-year time horizon.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":458,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":196808186966160,"gmtCreate":1689084777482,"gmtModify":1689084780324,"author":{"id":"3581546258382405","authorId":"3581546258382405","name":"blankTOGA","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3720d0317a789b5effd49ac6ec4eb5fa","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581546258382405","authorIdStr":"3581546258382405"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"RIP&nbsp;<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/PLTR\">$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$&nbsp;</a>","listText":"RIP&nbsp;<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/PLTR\">$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$&nbsp;</a>","text":"RIP $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/196808186966160","repostId":"1116649483","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1116649483","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1689083672,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1116649483?lang=&edition=full_marsco","pubTime":"2023-07-11 21:54","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Jim Cramer Just Gave Palantir Stock a Boost","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1116649483","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"TV analyst Jim Cramer endorsed Palantir (PLTR) stock.Palantir is a military contractor whose co-founder says it “allows you to win.”Palantir is now entering commercial markets through cloud providers.","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li><p>TV analyst Jim Cramer endorsed <strong>Palantir</strong> (<strong><u>PLTR</u></strong>) stock.</p></li><li><p>Palantir is a military contractor whose co-founder says it “allows you to win.”</p></li><li><p>Palantir is now entering commercial markets through cloud providers.</p></li></ul><p>TV analyst Jim Cramer got behind <strong>Palantir</strong> (NASDAQ: <strong><u>PLTR</u></strong>) stock overnight, giving shares in the government contractor a small boost.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Palantir stock opened green and then trimmed its gains this morning.

No single metric reflects that truth more than the fact that revenues fell by 15.7% to $92.2 million in the first quarter. This suggests limited interest in the plant-based food company, and raises doubts about Beyond Meat’s ability to meet expectations in coming quarters.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Notably, BYND stock has traded roughly flat for 2023. That’s not a positive sign, even when considering the company’s recent numbers. A combination of bullish stock market momentum and a Fed rate hike pause benefited most growth stocks, meaning Beyond Meat has underperformed its peers of late.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">That said, some of this underperformance may be expected. Many investors expect BYND stock to fall, considering that more than 46% of Beyond Meat’s float is shorted. That’s among the highest of any stock in the market right now, and reflects the strong conviction among many market participants that this stock is headed lower. However, a ban on short selling would preclude investors from capitalizing on such events.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Retail sales fell by 35%, which highly suggests that consumers simply have lost interest in Beyond Meat products. It’s only a useful investment for short selling, meaning those involved in this game may want to exit their positions before it’s too late.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: start;\">Big Lots (BIG)</h2><p><strong>Big Lots </strong>(NYSE:<strong>BIG</strong>) isn’t far behind Beyond Meat when it comes to short interest. At 41%, it’s fair to state that few investors believe in the discount retailer and its chances to move higher price-wise.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Big Lots’ sales fell by double digits across every major category in the first quarter, with the exception of food and electronics which still fell by 5% and 7%, respectively. Overall, revenues fell by 18%.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">More importantly, the company’s operating losses ballooned from $13.54 million to $117.98 million and total net losses exceeded $206 million. Put succinctly, Big Lots is one of the worst-run discount retailers and offers little in the way of hope. One would think that given inflationary pressures, consumers would be flocking to discount retailers. Right now, it appears investors are flocking to Big Lots’ peers.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Thus, I’d argue that most of the demand for BIG stock is coming from short sellers. However, if another systemic shock roils markets and triggers something bigger that prompts another short selling ban like that of 2008, all bets are off for those looking to profit from this volatility.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: start;\">Novavax (NVAX)</h2><p><strong>Novavax </strong>(NASDAQ:<strong>NVAX</strong>) was simply too late to the game in the race to produce a Covid-19 vaccine. Despite all of the hype around the stock, that truth was too much to overcome.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Early during the pandemic, Novavax was tapped as a clear leading candidate in the race to develop a vaccine. In July of 2022, the U.S. government awarded the firm $1.6 billion to develop said vaccine. That investment served as a signal to the market that Novavax had something worth getting behind.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">It did receive FDA approval, ultimately. But it was the fourth vaccine to do so, and by that time, the race was already over. What remains now is a company that has grabbed headlines in 2023 as one whose ability to continue as a going concern remains in ‘serious doubt’.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Thus, NVAX stock has become a short seller’s dream, primarily. It’s now hanging around for that purpose, and the same caution regarding Beyond Meat and Big Lots applies equally here.</p></body></html>","source":"investorplace","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>Get Out Now! 3 Stocks to Dump Before the Short-Selling Ban</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\">\nGet Out Now! 3 Stocks to Dump Before the Short-Selling Ban\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-06-29 08:00 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2023/06/get-out-now-3-stocks-to-dump-before-the-short-selling-ban/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>A precedent for a short-selling ban in stocks exists making another ban likely. Beyond Meat (BYND): Beyond Meat is primarily useful as a short-selling tool. Big Lots (BIG): Big Lots is one of the ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://investorplace.com/2023/06/get-out-now-3-stocks-to-dump-before-the-short-selling-ban/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"NVAX":"诺瓦瓦克斯医药","BYND":"Beyond Meat, Inc."},"source_url":"https://investorplace.com/2023/06/get-out-now-3-stocks-to-dump-before-the-short-selling-ban/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1122802212","content_text":"A precedent for a short-selling ban in stocks exists making another ban likely. Beyond Meat (BYND): Beyond Meat is primarily useful as a short-selling tool. Big Lots (BIG): Big Lots is one of the weakest discount retailers, and didn’t participate in the sector’s surge. Novavax (NVAX): Novavax was simply too late to the Covid vaccine game and became a short-seller favorite as a result. Selling stocks short is a practice that’s once again facing criticism, and a potential ban, following the collapse of multiple regional banks earlier in the year.

It’s only a useful investment for short selling, meaning those involved in this game may want to exit their positions before it’s too late.Big Lots (BIG)Big Lots (NYSE:BIG) isn’t far behind Beyond Meat when it comes to short interest. At 41%, it’s fair to state that few investors believe in the discount retailer and its chances to move higher price-wise.Big Lots’ sales fell by double digits across every major category in the first quarter, with the exception of food and electronics which still fell by 5% and 7%, respectively. Overall, revenues fell by 18%.More importantly, the company’s operating losses ballooned from $13.54 million to $117.98 million and total net losses exceeded $206 million. Put succinctly, Big Lots is one of the worst-run discount retailers and offers little in the way of hope. One would think that given inflationary pressures, consumers would be flocking to discount retailers. Right now, it appears investors are flocking to Big Lots’ peers.Thus, I’d argue that most of the demand for BIG stock is coming from short sellers. However, if another systemic shock roils markets and triggers something bigger that prompts another short selling ban like that of 2008, all bets are off for those looking to profit from this volatility.Novavax (NVAX)Novavax (NASDAQ:NVAX) was simply too late to the game in the race to produce a Covid-19 vaccine. Despite all of the hype around the stock, that truth was too much to overcome.Early during the pandemic, Novavax was tapped as a clear leading candidate in the race to develop a vaccine. In July of 2022, the U.S. government awarded the firm $1.6 billion to develop said vaccine. That investment served as a signal to the market that Novavax had something worth getting behind.It did receive FDA approval, ultimately. But it was the fourth vaccine to do so, and by that time, the race was already over. What remains now is a company that has grabbed headlines in 2023 as one whose ability to continue as a going concern remains in ‘serious doubt’.Thus, NVAX stock has become a short seller’s dream, primarily. It’s now hanging around for that purpose, and the same caution regarding Beyond Meat and Big Lots applies equally here.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1154,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9954359375,"gmtCreate":1676020521198,"gmtModify":1676020533435,"author":{"id":"3581546258382405","authorId":"3581546258382405","name":"blankTOGA","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3720d0317a789b5effd49ac6ec4eb5fa","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581546258382405","authorIdStr":"3581546258382405"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"You could say Lyft needs a lift 😉","listText":"You could say Lyft needs a lift 😉","text":"You could say Lyft needs a lift 😉","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9954359375","repostId":"1118903902","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1092,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9907085865,"gmtCreate":1660108095560,"gmtModify":1703478027000,"author":{"id":"3581546258382405","authorId":"3581546258382405","name":"blankTOGA","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3720d0317a789b5effd49ac6ec4eb5fa","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581546258382405","authorIdStr":"3581546258382405"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wahlau one week of climbing all gone.

The current macro backdrop has not made a favourable environment for high-growth segment stocks. The recent release of meeting minutes from the FOMC’s policy meeting in December, paired with increasing consumer price pressures at record-setting levels have triggered hawkish sentiments supporting faster and sooner rate hikes beginning as early as March to curb runaway inflation. The hastened withdrawal of pandemic-era stimulus, coupled with the impending return of rate hikes have caused investors to turn risk averse on high-growth, high-valuation stocks. This is largely due to uncertainties over how the upcoming rate hikes might erode the value of future gains or stall business growth due to rising costs of capital.</p><p>While the imminent tightening of monetary policy has stoked fear amongst equity investors as they mull on how to price the upcoming rate hike impacts into asset valuations, we believe Palantir will emerge favourably in both the near- and long-term. On one hand, the inflation-resistant nature of Palantir’s business, paired with its high-growth prospects and ability to generate robust cash flows from operations should make it an attractive stock within the near-term amidst mounting macro pressures. Meanwhile, in the longer term, Palantir’s technology will continue to play a critical role in supporting key digital trends like AI, which will soon become a necessity instead of novelty in the data-driven era. On these considerations, we believe Palantir&#39;s stock will soon resume its upwardmomentum, with the upcoming earnings report being a potential catalyst to jumpstart its performance.</p><p><b>Near-Term Considerations for Palantir</b></p><p>In line with the broader market, Palantir&#39;s stock rallied on the first trading session of the year, with intraday gains of as much as 4%. However, the momentum was short-lived and has since been overtaken by an extended market rout triggered by increasingly hawkish narratives from Fed representatives. The rising urgency for faster and sooner rate hikes to combat the hottest inflation in close to four decades has sent market benchmarks like the S&amp;P 500 on a rundown of close to 5%. Meanwhile, the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 plunged by more than 8% since the year opened due to souring sentiment for high-growth, high-valuation stocks that have largely outperformed in the past 20 months. Instead, mature tech companies likeDell(NYSE:DELL) and HP(NYSE:HPQ)have been resilient due to their low debt, high cash flow, and stable-growth businesses, which provides a strong hedge against the impending rate hikes.</p><p>However, Palantir’s upcoming earnings report will likely jumpstart the stock toward a similar trend as the mature tech companies. The company boasts a promising growth outlook built on continued innovation, with high visibility into future cash flows thanks to a robust contracted revenue base. Palantir also operates on a strong balance sheet, which is currently debt-free and boasts a robust cash-on-hand balance of more than $2.3 billion to support continued growth.</p><p>While the impending rate hikes have put investors at the edge of their seats about potentially stalled growth and development in next-generation tech companies due to rising costs of capital in coming years, the fact that Palantir’s operations are already self-sufficient should not be overlooked. In the first nine months of 2021, Palantir generated more than $240 million in cash from operating activities alone, despite year-to-date net losses of $364 million. Much of the losses were driven by share-based compensation expenses, which will likely continue to put pressure on its profit margins in the near-term as the company prioritizes the retention of talent to support ongoing expansion of the business. However, these expenses are non-cash in nature, and when that is taken into account, Palantir is actually profitable on a cash-basis and have continued to demonstrate strength in generating significant free cash flows to fund its growth roadmap. This accordingly provides it with partial immunity against hemorrhaging valuation prospects due to rising costs of capital from the upcoming rate hikes.</p><p>The company’s near-term growth trajectory also remains intact. As of the third quarter period ended September 2021, Palantir’s total unrealized deal value grew by 50% year-over-year to $3.6 billion with an average duration of at least four years. Palantir has continued to exhibit strength in both its commercial and government segments. Recent contract wins and extensions have been a testament to the effectiveness of Palantir’s software solutions, as well as accelerated adoption from both the private and public sectors as operations become increasingly digital, generating vast troves of data that will need to be integrated, processed and analyzed to drive key decision-making processes. In addition to the new and renewed contracts during the last three months of 2021, which have been discussed in our most recent coverage, Palantir has rung into the new year with a notable partnership forged with Hyundai Heavy Industries. The $25 million multi-year deal is a symbol of Palantir’s growing presence across the West’s APAC allies, and represents an extension of Palantir’s success in growing its commercial segment over the past year. Under the arrangement, Hyundai Heavy will leverage Palantir’s commercial software, likely Foundry, to create tools for breaking down the siloed data fields across its affiliate groups, which range from shipbuilding to industrial machinery processes, and facilitate better-integrated operations. The two companies intend to create a joint venture to commercialize the new tools built on Palantir’s platform, which will create greater exposure for Palantir’s technological capabilities to the global commercial sector, and further fortify the company’s growth prospects.</p><p><b>Long-Term Considerations for Palantir</b></p><p>Over the longer-term, we foresee Palantir’s technologies to evolve from a novelty into a necessity. AI-driven analytical tools like Palantir’s Gotham and Foundry will remain critical functions across both the public and private sectors to ensuring the seamless integration of data platforms and improving decision-making in the increasingly digital world. And Palantir is already in the works of pushing its software towards the mainstream by offering a wide range of solutions for organizations across both the private and public sectors to choose from on an as-needed basis.</p><p>The introduction of “Foundry for Builders” in July is one of Palantir’s earliest strategies in opening up its offerings to the mass market. Foundry for Builders is offered under a subscription-based model and breaks down the traditional cost barriers that have hindered access to Palantir’s software solution for smaller commercial customers like Day One start-ups. The new offering enables Palantir to extend its Foundry capabilities to support all types of organizations, ranging from multinational corporations with complex data compilations to small- and medium-sized businesses with limited resources looking for a cost-effective data analytical tool. The strategy is expected to encourage mass market adoption of Palantir’s commercial segment offerings, and ensure further penetration into a total addressable market that is expected to grow from $400 billion today into $500 billion by 2025 and $1.6 trillion by the end of the decade. While the new offering is still in beta phase with availability offered to only a small cohort of start-ups, the positive reception received to date indicates significant potential for wider adoption once introduced to the broader market.</p><p>The recent introduction of industry-specific modular solutions built on Foundry, such as “Carbon Emissions Management” and “Anti-Money Laundering/Know Your Client for Crypto” (“AML / KYC for Crypto”), will also appeal to both government agencies and private businesses looking to tackle some of today’s most challenging problems. With increasing global calls for cutting pollution and combating climate change, Palantir’s Carbon Emissions Management tool can add value by helping its corporate clients integrate emissions data, such as daily pollution volumes across the supply chain and emissions reduction targets, with planned revenues and margins to determine the best trade-off based on their respective business plans and objectives. For instance, the Carbon Emissions Management tool can consolidate emissions data collected from disparate sources in real-time and simulate related impacts under different scenarios to drive the decision-making process on business changes required. The modular offering enables Palantir to capitalize on opportunities arising from growing ESG needs in the private sector, while also helping its clients better manage their emissions impacts and “develop a competitive edge to beat competition and win the market”.</p><p>TheAML/KYC for Crypto solution is also deployed at an opportune time. Securities regulators have made it a priority to rein in the fast-growing cryptocurrency market with new rules, while cryptocurrency exchanges look for solutions to ensure compliance with the changing regulatory landscape. The new AML/KYC for Crypto tool is built on Palantir’s years of expertise in helping both regulators and private financial institutions address AML/KYC compliance considerations, and can be deployed in a time- and cost-effective manner for both sides of the equation across.AML/KYC for Crypto enables a large variety of use-cases ranging from real-time compliance tracking across disparate sources for cryptocurrency exchanges, to potentially regulatory simulations for securities regulators. This makes Palantir well-positioned to capitalize on the rising crypto momentum in coming years – the global blockchain market is expected to grow into a $67 billion opportunity by 2026, with proper management ofAML/KYC considerations encouraging adoption. And North America, Palantir’s key market, will maintain the largest share, underpinning robust demand for the new industry-specific solution in coming years.</p><p>Palantir is also making steady progress towards its ultimate goal of becoming “the U.S. government’s central operating system”. In addition to Palantir’s continued push for its software solutions to be implemented across government agencies ranging from defense to healthcare, the public sector has also become increasingly receptive of reliance on technology and innovation. While the $778 billion annual defense spending budget authorized by the Senate in December remains flat compared to the prior year’s after adjusting for inflation, funding allocated towards R&amp;D and procurement of emerging technologies like AI systems have increased by more than $3 billion. The Pentagon has also welcomed the development and utilization of innovative technologies in defense and combat in recent years, as they work on breaking the high barriers of entry that the giant defense contractors have historically built. In 2020, the agency allocated $1.5 billion in direct funding to more than 1,600 software-as-a-service start-ups, and set aside a number of defense contracts valued at up to $3 million each for early-stage software providers. Frontline healthcare workers in the U.S. have also indicated technology as one of the top three items that can “help reduce their stress and become more effective”. Specifically, tools that can help “automate tasks, provide remote assistance and help communicate with colleagues” are seen as the most helpful. This signals that a greater market of opportunities from the U.S. government is coming Palantir’s way, underpinning additional multi-year growth in the foreseeable future.</p><p><b>Where Might PLTR Stock be Headed?</b></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0d650f70bbfb8bc052e908d417257b5a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"229\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>PLTR 12-Month Price Target</span></p><p>Considering Palantir’s growth outlook remains intact for both the near- and longer-term despite mounting macro headwinds, we are maintaining our 12-month price target for the stock at $25.45.

Recall from our discussion in earlier sections that share-based compensation expenses are non-cash in nature, thus from a fundamental perspective, Palantir’s free cash flows continue to reflect the underlying business’ high-growth nature. In short, the company continues to be increasingly self-sufficient with a robust cash runway to fund growth in coming years.</p><p>And from a valuation perspective, the share-based compensation issued today cannot be exercised or sold until they vest, which could still be a few years out. Although many senior executives, including CEO Alex Karp, had offloaded a significant volume of shares last year causing stock price pressures, it was part of a long-term compensation-realization scheme, in which share-based compensation issued at the earlier days of Palantir were nearing expiry in December. As such, we are not expecting similar high-volume sell-offs within the foreseeable future.</p><blockquote>As we mentioned on prior earnings calls, Karp was granted options a decade ago which we set to expire on December 3rd of this year. Specifically, as a report equity yields 60.9 million options that were set to expire this December. The taxes from the exercise of the options are more than $0.5 billion. And so we&#39;ve been selling shares along the way to generate funds to pay those taxes. Of the 16.9 million expiring options, he has now exercised 94% of the total. Of the remaining 6%, roughly half or 1.9 million of them will be sold by the expiration date, the other half exercised and as a result, all the near-term expiring options will be exercised.</blockquote><blockquote>Source:Q3 2021 Earnings Call Transcript</blockquote><p>This is further corroborated by the fact that insider selling activity has since calmed according to recent SEC filings, with only one instance earlier this year by Alex Moore, a Palantir veteran. Similar to other insider share-selling activities observed in the past year, the offloaded shares were done in compliance with Rule 10b5-1, meaning it had been planned in advance and not based on any immediate insider information on the company’s performance. From a fundamental standpoint, the latest share-selling activity also does not imply any adverse impacts to the company’s growth outlook.</p><p>Going forward, we expect share dilutions related to share-based compensation to occur at a much more mild rate, similar to other tech stocks that have very much relied on the non-cash compensation strategy to acquire top talent needed to facilitate growth. And robust fundamental growth in years ahead is expected to compensate for said dilution impacts. Palantir is expected to start realizing nominal profits of $141.1 million by 2025, with further growth towards $1.5 billion by the end of the decade based on our current base case forecast, which is also consistent with anticipated long-term top-line growth that management has guided. The returns are expected to far exceed the anticipated rate of share dilution at 4% per year resulting from the share-based compensation program.</p><p>We also expect share-based compensation expenses to scale back and represent a smaller portion of annual revenues in coming years. Strategically, Palantir’s extension of generous share-based compensation packages for its employees will continue to provide them with an incentive to remain committed to the company’s growth. But to ensure the incentive is useful, it is unlikely that Palantir will do it at the expense of over-diluting the company’s share price over the longer-term. While the current share-based compensation expenses represent a large portion of annual revenues, we expect similar spending will scale back in coming years as the company continues to grow to ensure a balance and alignment of interest between employees and shareholders.</p><p><b>Conclusion</b></p><p>Palantir remains on a robust growth trajectory as global digitization trends in coming years continue to underpin demand for data management and analytics software like Foundry and Gotham. While government contracts, especially those associated with defense, remain Palantir’s priority, the company has made significant progress in strategically capitalizing on growth opportunities from the commercial segment. The resulting fundamental performance is also expected to compensate for any potential share-sale dilutions related to the share-based compensation program over the longer-term. With the stock now trading at a discount of more than 60% from its peak in early 2021 with no material changes to its growth outlook, we consider the recent pullback a reasonable entry point with potential upside momentum to resume going into the upcoming earnings season and as mounting macro headwinds abate.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The current macro backdrop has not made a favourable environment for high-growth segment stocks. The recent release of meeting minutes from the FOMC’s policy meeting in December, paired with increasing consumer price pressures at record-setting levels have triggered hawkish sentiments supporting faster and sooner rate hikes beginning as early as March to curb runaway inflation. The hastened withdrawal of pandemic-era stimulus, coupled with the impending return of rate hikes have caused investors to turn risk averse on high-growth, high-valuation stocks. This is largely due to uncertainties over how the upcoming rate hikes might erode the value of future gains or stall business growth due to rising costs of capital.While the imminent tightening of monetary policy has stoked fear amongst equity investors as they mull on how to price the upcoming rate hike impacts into asset valuations, we believe Palantir will emerge favourably in both the near- and long-term. On one hand, the inflation-resistant nature of Palantir’s business, paired with its high-growth prospects and ability to generate robust cash flows from operations should make it an attractive stock within the near-term amidst mounting macro pressures. Meanwhile, in the longer term, Palantir’s technology will continue to play a critical role in supporting key digital trends like AI, which will soon become a necessity instead of novelty in the data-driven era. On these considerations, we believe Palantir's stock will soon resume its upwardmomentum, with the upcoming earnings report being a potential catalyst to jumpstart its performance.Near-Term Considerations for PalantirIn line with the broader market, Palantir's stock rallied on the first trading session of the year, with intraday gains of as much as 4%.

Base Case Financial Forecast:PLTR Base Case Financial ForecastWhile Palantir’s mounting share-based compensation balance has been a sign of deterrence for many investors due to added pressure to profit margins and share dilution risks in the long-run, we believe the company’s strong fundamentals and growth prospects ahead will be more than enough to offset related impacts. Recall from our discussion in earlier sections that share-based compensation expenses are non-cash in nature, thus from a fundamental perspective, Palantir’s free cash flows continue to reflect the underlying business’ high-growth nature. In short, the company continues to be increasingly self-sufficient with a robust cash runway to fund growth in coming years.And from a valuation perspective, the share-based compensation issued today cannot be exercised or sold until they vest, which could still be a few years out. Although many senior executives, including CEO Alex Karp, had offloaded a significant volume of shares last year causing stock price pressures, it was part of a long-term compensation-realization scheme, in which share-based compensation issued at the earlier days of Palantir were nearing expiry in December. As such, we are not expecting similar high-volume sell-offs within the foreseeable future.As we mentioned on prior earnings calls, Karp was granted options a decade ago which we set to expire on December 3rd of this year. Specifically, as a report equity yields 60.9 million options that were set to expire this December. The taxes from the exercise of the options are more than $0.5 billion. And so we've been selling shares along the way to generate funds to pay those taxes. Of the 16.9 million expiring options, he has now exercised 94% of the total. Of the remaining 6%, roughly half or 1.9 million of them will be sold by the expiration date, the other half exercised and as a result, all the near-term expiring options will be exercised.Source:Q3 2021 Earnings Call TranscriptThis is further corroborated by the fact that insider selling activity has since calmed according to recent SEC filings, with only one instance earlier this year by Alex Moore, a Palantir veteran. Similar to other insider share-selling activities observed in the past year, the offloaded shares were done in compliance with Rule 10b5-1, meaning it had been planned in advance and not based on any immediate insider information on the company’s performance. From a fundamental standpoint, the latest share-selling activity also does not imply any adverse impacts to the company’s growth outlook.Going forward, we expect share dilutions related to share-based compensation to occur at a much more mild rate, similar to other tech stocks that have very much relied on the non-cash compensation strategy to acquire top talent needed to facilitate growth. And robust fundamental growth in years ahead is expected to compensate for said dilution impacts. Palantir is expected to start realizing nominal profits of $141.1 million by 2025, with further growth towards $1.5 billion by the end of the decade based on our current base case forecast, which is also consistent with anticipated long-term top-line growth that management has guided. The returns are expected to far exceed the anticipated rate of share dilution at 4% per year resulting from the share-based compensation program.We also expect share-based compensation expenses to scale back and represent a smaller portion of annual revenues in coming years. Strategically, Palantir’s extension of generous share-based compensation packages for its employees will continue to provide them with an incentive to remain committed to the company’s growth. But to ensure the incentive is useful, it is unlikely that Palantir will do it at the expense of over-diluting the company’s share price over the longer-term. While the current share-based compensation expenses represent a large portion of annual revenues, we expect similar spending will scale back in coming years as the company continues to grow to ensure a balance and alignment of interest between employees and shareholders.ConclusionPalantir remains on a robust growth trajectory as global digitization trends in coming years continue to underpin demand for data management and analytics software like Foundry and Gotham. While government contracts, especially those associated with defense, remain Palantir’s priority, the company has made significant progress in strategically capitalizing on growth opportunities from the commercial segment. The resulting fundamental performance is also expected to compensate for any potential share-sale dilutions related to the share-based compensation program over the longer-term. With the stock now trading at a discount of more than 60% from its peak in early 2021 with no material changes to its growth outlook, we consider the recent pullback a reasonable entry point with potential upside momentum to resume going into the upcoming earnings season and as mounting macro headwinds abate.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1179,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":810646753,"gmtCreate":1629975610172,"gmtModify":1676530189183,"author":{"id":"3581546258382405","authorId":"3581546258382405","name":"blankTOGA","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3720d0317a789b5effd49ac6ec4eb5fa","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581546258382405","authorIdStr":"3581546258382405"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMD\">$AMD(AMD)$</a>day one...

In my opinion, this reflects simple price action and is not reflective of future valuation expansion that I consider somewhat inevitable due to persisting AI demand and AMD&#39;s clever AI inference compute positioning.</p><p>Based on my outlook, you are witnessing a temporary pullback based on previous heavy overvaluation. Even more important to recognize is that for those with strong stomachs, this is an immense buying opportunity. The price may fall a bit further as it is in a downtrend, but my analysis shows me that the stock has about a 35% margin of safety and could deliver a 35% compound annual growth rate from the present price over the next three years. Therefore, I consider AMD stock to be a Strong Buy.</p><h2 id=\"id_3521348273\">Q4 Preview</h2><p>Of course, avid followers of AMD will remember that in Q3 the company presented Q4 guidance which was below Wall Street&#39;s expectations. This has tempered investor sentiment. At a Q4 revenue of $7.5 billion, the company will have achieved a 22% year-over-year growth and a 10% sequential increase from Q3.</p><p>The Data Center segment accounted for over half of the company&#39;s revenue in Q3, with a 122% year-over-year revenue growth rate. However, the Gaming segment has shown weakness recently, but this is likely to have improved in Q4, not least because of seasonal demand but also because of new product launches, like the Ryzen 9000 X3D chips, released in November 2024.</p><p>It&#39;s worth bearing in mind that AMD&#39;s MI300-series graphics processing units have been labeled the &#34;fastest-ramping product&#34; in the company&#39;s history, with sales exceeding $1 billion in less than two quarters. With the company expecting Data Center graphics processing unit revenue likely to surpass $5 billion for 2024, the bull-case remains strongly intact as major hyperscalers like Microsoft (MSFT) and Meta (META) continue to seek AMD&#39;s offerings as cheaper alternatives to Nvidia&#39;s (NVDA), and often at better performance for specific workloads.</p><p>Whatever the results are at Q4 (results scheduled for Feb, 04), I would not get too hung up on the specifics, but rather watch for guidance and see if this is lower, or higher, than the Wall Street consensus. That will give us some idea of whether the current forward growth horizon for AMD is too optimistic on Wall Street. In my opinion, the company&#39;s Data Center segment will continue to perform exceptionally well over the next two to three years at least because there is an insatiable AI arms race to artificial superintelligence. I believe it is important for AMD shareholders and potential investors to watch management&#39;s comments in Q4 about if they plan to more aggressively focus on AI and are willing to strategically sacrifice more of the other segments&#39; growth while the opportunity for selling graphics processing units, central processing units, and tailored inference chips to AI developers remains remarkable.</p><p>The Embedded segment has shown heavy year-over-year declines in Fiscal 2024, but it has shown stabilization prospects in Q3. Therefore, in Q4 the Embedded segment will more likely than not remain more robust compared to at the beginning of the year. The Client segment has been growing throughout the year, but the rates of growth have slowed considerably, from 49% year-over-year growth in Q2 to 29% year-over-year growth in Q3. Therefore, I expect much more moderate growth from the Client segment in Q4 compared to the Data Center segment, which remains the core area of operations to monitor.</p><h2 id=\"id_17755850\">Valuation</h2><p>For my valuation model, I have chosen a period of three years because I consider this the highest-return holding period before the company&#39;s fundamental growth rates will likely slow.</p><p>I forecast that the company&#39;s annual revenue will reach $44.5 billion for Fiscal 2027, in large part supported by the expanding Data Center segment and tailwinds on other segments from this. In addition, as the company will be benefiting from profit harvesting during the up-cycle of its AI demand cycle, I forecast a GAAP net margin of 30% for Fiscal 2027. This translates to a Fiscal 2027 GAAP net income of $13.35 billion.</p><p>The company&#39;s diluted weighted average shares outstanding have increased at approximately a 10% compound annual growth rate over the past five years. I expect this trend to moderate somewhat as the company further capitalizes on its recent investments to position it in AI. At a 5% share count compound annual growth rate over the next three years, the company will have 1.9 billion outstanding shares. Therefore, I forecast a GAAP earnings per share of $7 for AMD in Fiscal 2027, and a revenue per share of $23.40 for AMD in Fiscal 2027.</p><p>I consider AMD to be reasonably valued right now because its trailing 12-month price-to-sales ratio is down 12.5% from its five-year average, with revenue growth in Fiscal 2025 and 2026 likely to hit around 25%, compared to 25% as a forward five-year average.</p><p>The company typically has a GAAP price-to-earnings ratio of around between 30 and 50 during profit harvesting phases in the past. I believe a GAAP price-to-earnings ratio of 40 is fair and conservative to use as my terminal multiple, which is the midpoint in this band. The result is a Fiscal 2027 price target for AMD of $280.</p><p>AMD&#39;s weighted average cost of capital is 16.85%, with an equity weight of 98.6% and a debt weight of 1.4%. Equity costs 17.03% and debt costs 3.75% after tax. When discounting back my Fiscal 2027 price target for AMD back to the present day over three years, the implied intrinsic stock value is $175. As the stock is currently priced at $115, the implied margin of safety for investment is approximately 35%.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/95862173b7642cab2ab56e709db22128\" alt=\"AMD Valuation (Oliver Rodzianko&#39;s Model)\" title=\"AMD Valuation (Oliver Rodzianko&#39;s Model)\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"326\"/><span>AMD Valuation (Oliver Rodzianko&#39;s Model)</span></p><h2 id=\"id_2216589481\">Risks</h2><p>One of the greatest risks to this thesis, which applies not only to AMD but more broadly to all stocks and particularly tech, is the risk of a recession and intensifying geopolitical conditions surrounding Taiwan. While conditions are currently latent between China and Taiwan in terms of forceful occupation strategies from the former against the latter, it does not mean that China is not planning such actions. Indeed, for those who watched Xi Jinping&#39;s 2025 New Year&#39;s address, they will have noticed he brought up the inevitable issue of China&#39;s commitment to geopolitically recognized unification with Taiwan.</p><blockquote><p>&#34;We Chinese on both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to one and the same family. No one can ever sever the bond of kinship between us, and no one can ever stop China&#39;s reunification, a trend of the times.&#34; — Xi Jinping, <em>2025 New Year&#39;s Address</em></p></blockquote><p>The answer to this uncertainty is a robust cash position to capitalize on any market downturn of any magnitude that may occur. I currently have 1/3 of all assets in cash or equivalents, and plan to keep it this way for the foreseeable future.</p><p>In addition, while AMD&#39;s Data Center segment is positioned for robust growth driven by AI demand, any underperformance or stagnation in its non-Data Center segments could weigh on overall revenue growth and profitability. This is where I think it is really on management to aggressively reorient toward AI and not allow other weaker segments to distract from the revenue and earnings up-ramp available to the company in the next three years. In a weaker outlook, we could be looking at a more moderate price target of $250 or less in Fiscal 2027. That addressed, the demand horizon for AI is robust and AMD is the second-best positioned to capitalize on this demand behind Nvidia, so the operational moat for investment security here is quite wide.</p><h2 id=\"id_2670102579\">Conclusion: Strong Buy</h2><p>This is a time to be greedy when others are fearful. Just because a stock has declined significantly in price recently does not mean its future return prospects are not robust. In fact, the greatest wisdom of all time is simple to understand, but hard to follow.

In my opinion, this reflects simple price action and is not reflective of future valuation expansion that I consider somewhat inevitable due to persisting AI demand and AMD's clever AI inference compute positioning.Based on my outlook, you are witnessing a temporary pullback based on previous heavy overvaluation. Even more important to recognize is that for those with strong stomachs, this is an immense buying opportunity. The price may fall a bit further as it is in a downtrend, but my analysis shows me that the stock has about a 35% margin of safety and could deliver a 35% compound annual growth rate from the present price over the next three years. Therefore, I consider AMD stock to be a Strong Buy.Q4 PreviewOf course, avid followers of AMD will remember that in Q3 the company presented Q4 guidance which was below Wall Street's expectations. This has tempered investor sentiment. At a Q4 revenue of $7.5 billion, the company will have achieved a 22% year-over-year growth and a 10% sequential increase from Q3.The Data Center segment accounted for over half of the company's revenue in Q3, with a 122% year-over-year revenue growth rate. However, the Gaming segment has shown weakness recently, but this is likely to have improved in Q4, not least because of seasonal demand but also because of new product launches, like the Ryzen 9000 X3D chips, released in November 2024.It's worth bearing in mind that AMD's MI300-series graphics processing units have been labeled the \"fastest-ramping product\" in the company's history, with sales exceeding $1 billion in less than two quarters. With the company expecting Data Center graphics processing unit revenue likely to surpass $5 billion for 2024, the bull-case remains strongly intact as major hyperscalers like Microsoft (MSFT) and Meta (META) continue to seek AMD's offerings as cheaper alternatives to Nvidia's (NVDA), and often at better performance for specific workloads.Whatever the results are at Q4 (results scheduled for Feb, 04), I would not get too hung up on the specifics, but rather watch for guidance and see if this is lower, or higher, than the Wall Street consensus. That will give us some idea of whether the current forward growth horizon for AMD is too optimistic on Wall Street. In my opinion, the company's Data Center segment will continue to perform exceptionally well over the next two to three years at least because there is an insatiable AI arms race to artificial superintelligence. I believe it is important for AMD shareholders and potential investors to watch management's comments in Q4 about if they plan to more aggressively focus on AI and are willing to strategically sacrifice more of the other segments' growth while the opportunity for selling graphics processing units, central processing units, and tailored inference chips to AI developers remains remarkable.The Embedded segment has shown heavy year-over-year declines in Fiscal 2024, but it has shown stabilization prospects in Q3. Therefore, in Q4 the Embedded segment will more likely than not remain more robust compared to at the beginning of the year. The Client segment has been growing throughout the year, but the rates of growth have slowed considerably, from 49% year-over-year growth in Q2 to 29% year-over-year growth in Q3. Therefore, I expect much more moderate growth from the Client segment in Q4 compared to the Data Center segment, which remains the core area of operations to monitor.ValuationFor my valuation model, I have chosen a period of three years because I consider this the highest-return holding period before the company's fundamental growth rates will likely slow.I forecast that the company's annual revenue will reach $44.5 billion for Fiscal 2027, in large part supported by the expanding Data Center segment and tailwinds on other segments from this. In addition, as the company will be benefiting from profit harvesting during the up-cycle of its AI demand cycle, I forecast a GAAP net margin of 30% for Fiscal 2027. This translates to a Fiscal 2027 GAAP net income of $13.35 billion.The company's diluted weighted average shares outstanding have increased at approximately a 10% compound annual growth rate over the past five years. I expect this trend to moderate somewhat as the company further capitalizes on its recent investments to position it in AI. At a 5% share count compound annual growth rate over the next three years, the company will have 1.9 billion outstanding shares. Therefore, I forecast a GAAP earnings per share of $7 for AMD in Fiscal 2027, and a revenue per share of $23.40 for AMD in Fiscal 2027.I consider AMD to be reasonably valued right now because its trailing 12-month price-to-sales ratio is down 12.5% from its five-year average, with revenue growth in Fiscal 2025 and 2026 likely to hit around 25%, compared to 25% as a forward five-year average.The company typically has a GAAP price-to-earnings ratio of around between 30 and 50 during profit harvesting phases in the past. I believe a GAAP price-to-earnings ratio of 40 is fair and conservative to use as my terminal multiple, which is the midpoint in this band. The result is a Fiscal 2027 price target for AMD of $280.AMD's weighted average cost of capital is 16.85%, with an equity weight of 98.6% and a debt weight of 1.4%. Equity costs 17.03% and debt costs 3.75% after tax. When discounting back my Fiscal 2027 price target for AMD back to the present day over three years, the implied intrinsic stock value is $175. As the stock is currently priced at $115, the implied margin of safety for investment is approximately 35%.AMD Valuation (Oliver Rodzianko's Model)RisksOne of the greatest risks to this thesis, which applies not only to AMD but more broadly to all stocks and particularly tech, is the risk of a recession and intensifying geopolitical conditions surrounding Taiwan. While conditions are currently latent between China and Taiwan in terms of forceful occupation strategies from the former against the latter, it does not mean that China is not planning such actions. Indeed, for those who watched Xi Jinping's 2025 New Year's address, they will have noticed he brought up the inevitable issue of China's commitment to geopolitically recognized unification with Taiwan.\"We Chinese on both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to one and the same family. No one can ever sever the bond of kinship between us, and no one can ever stop China's reunification, a trend of the times.\" — Xi Jinping, 2025 New Year's AddressThe answer to this uncertainty is a robust cash position to capitalize on any market downturn of any magnitude that may occur. I currently have 1/3 of all assets in cash or equivalents, and plan to keep it this way for the foreseeable future.In addition, while AMD's Data Center segment is positioned for robust growth driven by AI demand, any underperformance or stagnation in its non-Data Center segments could weigh on overall revenue growth and profitability. This is where I think it is really on management to aggressively reorient toward AI and not allow other weaker segments to distract from the revenue and earnings up-ramp available to the company in the next three years. In a weaker outlook, we could be looking at a more moderate price target of $250 or less in Fiscal 2027. That addressed, the demand horizon for AI is robust and AMD is the second-best positioned to capitalize on this demand behind Nvidia, so the operational moat for investment security here is quite wide.Conclusion: Strong BuyThis is a time to be greedy when others are fearful. Just because a stock has declined significantly in price recently does not mean its future return prospects are not robust. In fact, the greatest wisdom of all time is simple to understand, but hard to follow. The secret to getting rich has long been stated as sell high and buy low, or be greedy when others are fearful, and fearful when others are greedy. Of course, the company has to be operationally robust with an inflection point, but I believe we have that through financial growth in the next three years largely driven by AI demand and higher performance compute in association with this potentially providing tailwinds to AMD's other segments. Therefore, I am bullish on the stock at its current valuation, and confidently issue a Strong Buy rating with a three-year time horizon.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":458,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":192468775780544,"gmtCreate":1688019813803,"gmtModify":1688019818792,"author":{"id":"3581546258382405","authorId":"3581546258382405","name":"blankTOGA","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3720d0317a789b5effd49ac6ec4eb5fa","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3581546258382405","idStr":"3581546258382405"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"It's just the writer's opinion.

One would think that given inflationary pressures, consumers would be flocking to discount retailers. Right now, it appears investors are flocking to Big Lots’ peers.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Thus, I’d argue that most of the demand for BIG stock is coming from short sellers.

Despite all of the hype around the stock, that truth was too much to overcome.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Early during the pandemic, Novavax was tapped as a clear leading candidate in the race to develop a vaccine. In July of 2022, the U.S. government awarded the firm $1.6 billion to develop said vaccine.

But it was the fourth vaccine to do so, and by that time, the race was already over. What remains now is a company that has grabbed headlines in 2023 as one whose ability to continue as a going concern remains in ‘serious doubt’.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Thus, NVAX stock has become a short seller’s dream, primarily. It’s now hanging around for that purpose, and the same caution regarding Beyond Meat and Big Lots applies equally here.</p></body></html>","source":"investorplace","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>Get Out Now! 3 Stocks to Dump Before the Short-Selling Ban</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\">\nGet Out Now! 3 Stocks to Dump Before the Short-Selling Ban\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-06-29 08:00 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2023/06/get-out-now-3-stocks-to-dump-before-the-short-selling-ban/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>A precedent for a short-selling ban in stocks exists making another ban likely. Beyond Meat (BYND): Beyond Meat is primarily useful as a short-selling tool. Big Lots (BIG): Big Lots is one of the ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://investorplace.com/2023/06/get-out-now-3-stocks-to-dump-before-the-short-selling-ban/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"NVAX":"诺瓦瓦克斯医药","BYND":"Beyond Meat, Inc."},"source_url":"https://investorplace.com/2023/06/get-out-now-3-stocks-to-dump-before-the-short-selling-ban/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1122802212","content_text":"A precedent for a short-selling ban in stocks exists making another ban likely. Beyond Meat (BYND): Beyond Meat is primarily useful as a short-selling tool. Big Lots (BIG): Big Lots is one of the weakest discount retailers, and didn’t participate in the sector’s surge. Novavax (NVAX): Novavax was simply too late to the Covid vaccine game and became a short-seller favorite as a result. Selling stocks short is a practice that’s once again facing criticism, and a potential ban, following the collapse of multiple regional banks earlier in the year.

Put succinctly, Big Lots is one of the worst-run discount retailers and offers little in the way of hope. One would think that given inflationary pressures, consumers would be flocking to discount retailers. Right now, it appears investors are flocking to Big Lots’ peers.Thus, I’d argue that most of the demand for BIG stock is coming from short sellers. However, if another systemic shock roils markets and triggers something bigger that prompts another short selling ban like that of 2008, all bets are off for those looking to profit from this volatility.Novavax (NVAX)Novavax (NASDAQ:NVAX) was simply too late to the game in the race to produce a Covid-19 vaccine. Despite all of the hype around the stock, that truth was too much to overcome.Early during the pandemic, Novavax was tapped as a clear leading candidate in the race to develop a vaccine. In July of 2022, the U.S. government awarded the firm $1.6 billion to develop said vaccine. That investment served as a signal to the market that Novavax had something worth getting behind.It did receive FDA approval, ultimately. But it was the fourth vaccine to do so, and by that time, the race was already over. What remains now is a company that has grabbed headlines in 2023 as one whose ability to continue as a going concern remains in ‘serious doubt’.Thus, NVAX stock has become a short seller’s dream, primarily. It’s now hanging around for that purpose, and the same caution regarding Beyond Meat and Big Lots applies equally here.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1154,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9007783066,"gmtCreate":1643007713745,"gmtModify":1676533764519,"author":{"id":"3581546258382405","authorId":"3581546258382405","name":"blankTOGA","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3720d0317a789b5effd49ac6ec4eb5fa","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3581546258382405","idStr":"3581546258382405"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Jialat my call options all chui","listText":"Jialat my call options all chui","text":"Jialat my call options all chui","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9007783066","repostId":"1119030155","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1119030155","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1643006363,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1119030155?lang=&edition=full_marsco","pubTime":"2022-01-24 14:39","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is Palantir Stock A Buy Or Sell At Its Current Valuation?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1119030155","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryPalantir's stock has declined by more than 60% from its record price set about a year ago due","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Summary</b></p><ul><li>Palantir&#39;s stock has declined by more than 60% from its record price set about a year ago due to mounting macro headwinds.</li><li>Investors have been migrating away from high-valuation growth stocks, especially those in emerging technologies, as pandemic-era policy support dwindles with tightening monetary policy on the horizon.</li><li>Yet, there have been no material changes to the bullish thesis supporting Palantir&#39;s growth trajectory - the company continues to be well-positioned for growth opportunities arising from digitization trends.</li><li>Paired with its debt-free balance sheet, robust cash-on-hand balance, continued strength in generating cash from operations, and high-visibility revenues, Palantir makes a favourable investment ahead of the upcoming rate hikes with promising upside realizable over both the near and longer term.</li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c5fa252b01d9bd84e39574343c9fb409\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"1024\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Sundry Photography/iStock Editorial via Getty Images</span></p><p>Palantir (NYSE:PLTR) continues to be caught in the broader market rout these days, with the stock’s value declining more than 12% since the year opened. The current macro backdrop has not made a favourable environment for high-growth segment stocks. The recent release of meeting minutes from the FOMC’s policy meeting in December, paired with increasing consumer price pressures at record-setting levels have triggered hawkish sentiments supporting faster and sooner rate hikes beginning as early as March to curb runaway inflation. The hastened withdrawal of pandemic-era stimulus, coupled with the impending return of rate hikes have caused investors to turn risk averse on high-growth, high-valuation stocks. This is largely due to uncertainties over how the upcoming rate hikes might erode the value of future gains or stall business growth due to rising costs of capital.</p><p>While the imminent tightening of monetary policy has stoked fear amongst equity investors as they mull on how to price the upcoming rate hike impacts into asset valuations, we believe Palantir will emerge favourably in both the near- and long-term. On one hand, the inflation-resistant nature of Palantir’s business, paired with its high-growth prospects and ability to generate robust cash flows from operations should make it an attractive stock within the near-term amidst mounting macro pressures. Meanwhile, in the longer term, Palantir’s technology will continue to play a critical role in supporting key digital trends like AI, which will soon become a necessity instead of novelty in the data-driven era. On these considerations, we believe Palantir&#39;s stock will soon resume its upwardmomentum, with the upcoming earnings report being a potential catalyst to jumpstart its performance.</p><p><b>Near-Term Considerations for Palantir</b></p><p>In line with the broader market, Palantir&#39;s stock rallied on the first trading session of the year, with intraday gains of as much as 4%. However, the momentum was short-lived and has since been overtaken by an extended market rout triggered by increasingly hawkish narratives from Fed representatives. The rising urgency for faster and sooner rate hikes to combat the hottest inflation in close to four decades has sent market benchmarks like the S&amp;P 500 on a rundown of close to 5%. Meanwhile, the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 plunged by more than 8% since the year opened due to souring sentiment for high-growth, high-valuation stocks that have largely outperformed in the past 20 months. Instead, mature tech companies likeDell(NYSE:DELL) and HP(NYSE:HPQ)have been resilient due to their low debt, high cash flow, and stable-growth businesses, which provides a strong hedge against the impending rate hikes.</p><p>However, Palantir’s upcoming earnings report will likely jumpstart the stock toward a similar trend as the mature tech companies. The company boasts a promising growth outlook built on continued innovation, with high visibility into future cash flows thanks to a robust contracted revenue base. Palantir also operates on a strong balance sheet, which is currently debt-free and boasts a robust cash-on-hand balance of more than $2.3 billion to support continued growth.</p><p>While the impending rate hikes have put investors at the edge of their seats about potentially stalled growth and development in next-generation tech companies due to rising costs of capital in coming years, the fact that Palantir’s operations are already self-sufficient should not be overlooked. In the first nine months of 2021, Palantir generated more than $240 million in cash from operating activities alone, despite year-to-date net losses of $364 million. Much of the losses were driven by share-based compensation expenses, which will likely continue to put pressure on its profit margins in the near-term as the company prioritizes the retention of talent to support ongoing expansion of the business. However, these expenses are non-cash in nature, and when that is taken into account, Palantir is actually profitable on a cash-basis and have continued to demonstrate strength in generating significant free cash flows to fund its growth roadmap. This accordingly provides it with partial immunity against hemorrhaging valuation prospects due to rising costs of capital from the upcoming rate hikes.</p><p>The company’s near-term growth trajectory also remains intact. As of the third quarter period ended September 2021, Palantir’s total unrealized deal value grew by 50% year-over-year to $3.6 billion with an average duration of at least four years. Palantir has continued to exhibit strength in both its commercial and government segments. Recent contract wins and extensions have been a testament to the effectiveness of Palantir’s software solutions, as well as accelerated adoption from both the private and public sectors as operations become increasingly digital, generating vast troves of data that will need to be integrated, processed and analyzed to drive key decision-making processes. In addition to the new and renewed contracts during the last three months of 2021, which have been discussed in our most recent coverage, Palantir has rung into the new year with a notable partnership forged with Hyundai Heavy Industries. The $25 million multi-year deal is a symbol of Palantir’s growing presence across the West’s APAC allies, and represents an extension of Palantir’s success in growing its commercial segment over the past year. Under the arrangement, Hyundai Heavy will leverage Palantir’s commercial software, likely Foundry, to create tools for breaking down the siloed data fields across its affiliate groups, which range from shipbuilding to industrial machinery processes, and facilitate better-integrated operations. The two companies intend to create a joint venture to commercialize the new tools built on Palantir’s platform, which will create greater exposure for Palantir’s technological capabilities to the global commercial sector, and further fortify the company’s growth prospects.</p><p><b>Long-Term Considerations for Palantir</b></p><p>Over the longer-term, we foresee Palantir’s technologies to evolve from a novelty into a necessity. AI-driven analytical tools like Palantir’s Gotham and Foundry will remain critical functions across both the public and private sectors to ensuring the seamless integration of data platforms and improving decision-making in the increasingly digital world. And Palantir is already in the works of pushing its software towards the mainstream by offering a wide range of solutions for organizations across both the private and public sectors to choose from on an as-needed basis.</p><p>The introduction of “Foundry for Builders” in July is one of Palantir’s earliest strategies in opening up its offerings to the mass market. Foundry for Builders is offered under a subscription-based model and breaks down the traditional cost barriers that have hindered access to Palantir’s software solution for smaller commercial customers like Day One start-ups. The new offering enables Palantir to extend its Foundry capabilities to support all types of organizations, ranging from multinational corporations with complex data compilations to small- and medium-sized businesses with limited resources looking for a cost-effective data analytical tool. The strategy is expected to encourage mass market adoption of Palantir’s commercial segment offerings, and ensure further penetration into a total addressable market that is expected to grow from $400 billion today into $500 billion by 2025 and $1.6 trillion by the end of the decade. While the new offering is still in beta phase with availability offered to only a small cohort of start-ups, the positive reception received to date indicates significant potential for wider adoption once introduced to the broader market.</p><p>The recent introduction of industry-specific modular solutions built on Foundry, such as “Carbon Emissions Management” and “Anti-Money Laundering/Know Your Client for Crypto” (“AML / KYC for Crypto”), will also appeal to both government agencies and private businesses looking to tackle some of today’s most challenging problems. With increasing global calls for cutting pollution and combating climate change, Palantir’s Carbon Emissions Management tool can add value by helping its corporate clients integrate emissions data, such as daily pollution volumes across the supply chain and emissions reduction targets, with planned revenues and margins to determine the best trade-off based on their respective business plans and objectives. For instance, the Carbon Emissions Management tool can consolidate emissions data collected from disparate sources in real-time and simulate related impacts under different scenarios to drive the decision-making process on business changes required. The modular offering enables Palantir to capitalize on opportunities arising from growing ESG needs in the private sector, while also helping its clients better manage their emissions impacts and “develop a competitive edge to beat competition and win the market”.</p><p>TheAML/KYC for Crypto solution is also deployed at an opportune time. Securities regulators have made it a priority to rein in the fast-growing cryptocurrency market with new rules, while cryptocurrency exchanges look for solutions to ensure compliance with the changing regulatory landscape. The new AML/KYC for Crypto tool is built on Palantir’s years of expertise in helping both regulators and private financial institutions address AML/KYC compliance considerations, and can be deployed in a time- and cost-effective manner for both sides of the equation across.AML/KYC for Crypto enables a large variety of use-cases ranging from real-time compliance tracking across disparate sources for cryptocurrency exchanges, to potentially regulatory simulations for securities regulators. This makes Palantir well-positioned to capitalize on the rising crypto momentum in coming years – the global blockchain market is expected to grow into a $67 billion opportunity by 2026, with proper management ofAML/KYC considerations encouraging adoption. And North America, Palantir’s key market, will maintain the largest share, underpinning robust demand for the new industry-specific solution in coming years.</p><p>Palantir is also making steady progress towards its ultimate goal of becoming “the U.S. government’s central operating system”. In addition to Palantir’s continued push for its software solutions to be implemented across government agencies ranging from defense to healthcare, the public sector has also become increasingly receptive of reliance on technology and innovation. While the $778 billion annual defense spending budget authorized by the Senate in December remains flat compared to the prior year’s after adjusting for inflation, funding allocated towards R&amp;D and procurement of emerging technologies like AI systems have increased by more than $3 billion. The Pentagon has also welcomed the development and utilization of innovative technologies in defense and combat in recent years, as they work on breaking the high barriers of entry that the giant defense contractors have historically built. In 2020, the agency allocated $1.5 billion in direct funding to more than 1,600 software-as-a-service start-ups, and set aside a number of defense contracts valued at up to $3 million each for early-stage software providers. Frontline healthcare workers in the U.S. have also indicated technology as one of the top three items that can “help reduce their stress and become more effective”. Specifically, tools that can help “automate tasks, provide remote assistance and help communicate with colleagues” are seen as the most helpful. This signals that a greater market of opportunities from the U.S. government is coming Palantir’s way, underpinning additional multi-year growth in the foreseeable future.</p><p><b>Where Might PLTR Stock be Headed?</b></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0d650f70bbfb8bc052e908d417257b5a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"229\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>PLTR 12-Month Price Target</span></p><p>Considering Palantir’s growth outlook remains intact for both the near- and longer-term despite mounting macro headwinds, we are maintaining our 12-month price target for the stock at $25.45. Consistent with our previous analysis on potentially better-than-expected FY 2021 financial performance, we believe the upcoming earnings call will be a catalyst to jumpstarting the stock from its recent declines and bolster investors’ confidence on Palantir’s valuation prospects ahead of the upcoming rate hikes.</p><p><i>i. Base Case Valuation Analysis:</i></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8c624a7c885aef549ec989f3dd322797\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"375\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>PLTR Valuation Analysis</span></p><p><i>ii.

Recall from our discussion in earlier sections that share-based compensation expenses are non-cash in nature, thus from a fundamental perspective, Palantir’s free cash flows continue to reflect the underlying business’ high-growth nature. In short, the company continues to be increasingly self-sufficient with a robust cash runway to fund growth in coming years.</p><p>And from a valuation perspective, the share-based compensation issued today cannot be exercised or sold until they vest, which could still be a few years out. Although many senior executives, including CEO Alex Karp, had offloaded a significant volume of shares last year causing stock price pressures, it was part of a long-term compensation-realization scheme, in which share-based compensation issued at the earlier days of Palantir were nearing expiry in December. As such, we are not expecting similar high-volume sell-offs within the foreseeable future.</p><blockquote>As we mentioned on prior earnings calls, Karp was granted options a decade ago which we set to expire on December 3rd of this year. Specifically, as a report equity yields 60.9 million options that were set to expire this December. The taxes from the exercise of the options are more than $0.5 billion. And so we&#39;ve been selling shares along the way to generate funds to pay those taxes. Of the 16.9 million expiring options, he has now exercised 94% of the total. Of the remaining 6%, roughly half or 1.9 million of them will be sold by the expiration date, the other half exercised and as a result, all the near-term expiring options will be exercised.</blockquote><blockquote>Source:Q3 2021 Earnings Call Transcript</blockquote><p>This is further corroborated by the fact that insider selling activity has since calmed according to recent SEC filings, with only one instance earlier this year by Alex Moore, a Palantir veteran. Similar to other insider share-selling activities observed in the past year, the offloaded shares were done in compliance with Rule 10b5-1, meaning it had been planned in advance and not based on any immediate insider information on the company’s performance. From a fundamental standpoint, the latest share-selling activity also does not imply any adverse impacts to the company’s growth outlook.</p><p>Going forward, we expect share dilutions related to share-based compensation to occur at a much more mild rate, similar to other tech stocks that have very much relied on the non-cash compensation strategy to acquire top talent needed to facilitate growth. And robust fundamental growth in years ahead is expected to compensate for said dilution impacts. Palantir is expected to start realizing nominal profits of $141.1 million by 2025, with further growth towards $1.5 billion by the end of the decade based on our current base case forecast, which is also consistent with anticipated long-term top-line growth that management has guided. The returns are expected to far exceed the anticipated rate of share dilution at 4% per year resulting from the share-based compensation program.</p><p>We also expect share-based compensation expenses to scale back and represent a smaller portion of annual revenues in coming years. Strategically, Palantir’s extension of generous share-based compensation packages for its employees will continue to provide them with an incentive to remain committed to the company’s growth. But to ensure the incentive is useful, it is unlikely that Palantir will do it at the expense of over-diluting the company’s share price over the longer-term. While the current share-based compensation expenses represent a large portion of annual revenues, we expect similar spending will scale back in coming years as the company continues to grow to ensure a balance and alignment of interest between employees and shareholders.</p><p><b>Conclusion</b></p><p>Palantir remains on a robust growth trajectory as global digitization trends in coming years continue to underpin demand for data management and analytics software like Foundry and Gotham. While government contracts, especially those associated with defense, remain Palantir’s priority, the company has made significant progress in strategically capitalizing on growth opportunities from the commercial segment. The resulting fundamental performance is also expected to compensate for any potential share-sale dilutions related to the share-based compensation program over the longer-term. With the stock now trading at a discount of more than 60% from its peak in early 2021 with no material changes to its growth outlook, we consider the recent pullback a reasonable entry point with potential upside momentum to resume going into the upcoming earnings season and as mounting macro headwinds abate.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Palantir has continued to exhibit strength in both its commercial and government segments. Recent contract wins and extensions have been a testament to the effectiveness of Palantir’s software solutions, as well as accelerated adoption from both the private and public sectors as operations become increasingly digital, generating vast troves of data that will need to be integrated, processed and analyzed to drive key decision-making processes. In addition to the new and renewed contracts during the last three months of 2021, which have been discussed in our most recent coverage, Palantir has rung into the new year with a notable partnership forged with Hyundai Heavy Industries. The $25 million multi-year deal is a symbol of Palantir’s growing presence across the West’s APAC allies, and represents an extension of Palantir’s success in growing its commercial segment over the past year. Under the arrangement, Hyundai Heavy will leverage Palantir’s commercial software, likely Foundry, to create tools for breaking down the siloed data fields across its affiliate groups, which range from shipbuilding to industrial machinery processes, and facilitate better-integrated operations. The two companies intend to create a joint venture to commercialize the new tools built on Palantir’s platform, which will create greater exposure for Palantir’s technological capabilities to the global commercial sector, and further fortify the company’s growth prospects.Long-Term Considerations for PalantirOver the longer-term, we foresee Palantir’s technologies to evolve from a novelty into a necessity. AI-driven analytical tools like Palantir’s Gotham and Foundry will remain critical functions across both the public and private sectors to ensuring the seamless integration of data platforms and improving decision-making in the increasingly digital world. And Palantir is already in the works of pushing its software towards the mainstream by offering a wide range of solutions for organizations across both the private and public sectors to choose from on an as-needed basis.The introduction of “Foundry for Builders” in July is one of Palantir’s earliest strategies in opening up its offerings to the mass market. Foundry for Builders is offered under a subscription-based model and breaks down the traditional cost barriers that have hindered access to Palantir’s software solution for smaller commercial customers like Day One start-ups. The new offering enables Palantir to extend its Foundry capabilities to support all types of organizations, ranging from multinational corporations with complex data compilations to small- and medium-sized businesses with limited resources looking for a cost-effective data analytical tool. The strategy is expected to encourage mass market adoption of Palantir’s commercial segment offerings, and ensure further penetration into a total addressable market that is expected to grow from $400 billion today into $500 billion by 2025 and $1.6 trillion by the end of the decade. While the new offering is still in beta phase with availability offered to only a small cohort of start-ups, the positive reception received to date indicates significant potential for wider adoption once introduced to the broader market.The recent introduction of industry-specific modular solutions built on Foundry, such as “Carbon Emissions Management” and “Anti-Money Laundering/Know Your Client for Crypto” (“AML / KYC for Crypto”), will also appeal to both government agencies and private businesses looking to tackle some of today’s most challenging problems. With increasing global calls for cutting pollution and combating climate change, Palantir’s Carbon Emissions Management tool can add value by helping its corporate clients integrate emissions data, such as daily pollution volumes across the supply chain and emissions reduction targets, with planned revenues and margins to determine the best trade-off based on their respective business plans and objectives. For instance, the Carbon Emissions Management tool can consolidate emissions data collected from disparate sources in real-time and simulate related impacts under different scenarios to drive the decision-making process on business changes required. The modular offering enables Palantir to capitalize on opportunities arising from growing ESG needs in the private sector, while also helping its clients better manage their emissions impacts and “develop a competitive edge to beat competition and win the market”.TheAML/KYC for Crypto solution is also deployed at an opportune time. Securities regulators have made it a priority to rein in the fast-growing cryptocurrency market with new rules, while cryptocurrency exchanges look for solutions to ensure compliance with the changing regulatory landscape. The new AML/KYC for Crypto tool is built on Palantir’s years of expertise in helping both regulators and private financial institutions address AML/KYC compliance considerations, and can be deployed in a time- and cost-effective manner for both sides of the equation across.AML/KYC for Crypto enables a large variety of use-cases ranging from real-time compliance tracking across disparate sources for cryptocurrency exchanges, to potentially regulatory simulations for securities regulators. This makes Palantir well-positioned to capitalize on the rising crypto momentum in coming years – the global blockchain market is expected to grow into a $67 billion opportunity by 2026, with proper management ofAML/KYC considerations encouraging adoption. And North America, Palantir’s key market, will maintain the largest share, underpinning robust demand for the new industry-specific solution in coming years.Palantir is also making steady progress towards its ultimate goal of becoming “the U.S. government’s central operating system”. In addition to Palantir’s continued push for its software solutions to be implemented across government agencies ranging from defense to healthcare, the public sector has also become increasingly receptive of reliance on technology and innovation. While the $778 billion annual defense spending budget authorized by the Senate in December remains flat compared to the prior year’s after adjusting for inflation, funding allocated towards R&D and procurement of emerging technologies like AI systems have increased by more than $3 billion. The Pentagon has also welcomed the development and utilization of innovative technologies in defense and combat in recent years, as they work on breaking the high barriers of entry that the giant defense contractors have historically built. In 2020, the agency allocated $1.5 billion in direct funding to more than 1,600 software-as-a-service start-ups, and set aside a number of defense contracts valued at up to $3 million each for early-stage software providers. Frontline healthcare workers in the U.S. have also indicated technology as one of the top three items that can “help reduce their stress and become more effective”. Specifically, tools that can help “automate tasks, provide remote assistance and help communicate with colleagues” are seen as the most helpful. This signals that a greater market of opportunities from the U.S. government is coming Palantir’s way, underpinning additional multi-year growth in the foreseeable future.Where Might PLTR Stock be Headed?PLTR 12-Month Price TargetConsidering Palantir’s growth outlook remains intact for both the near- and longer-term despite mounting macro headwinds, we are maintaining our 12-month price target for the stock at $25.45. Consistent with our previous analysis on potentially better-than-expected FY 2021 financial performance, we believe the upcoming earnings call will be a catalyst to jumpstarting the stock from its recent declines and bolster investors’ confidence on Palantir’s valuation prospects ahead of the upcoming rate hikes.i. Base Case Valuation Analysis:PLTR Valuation Analysisii. Sensitivity Analysis:PLTR Sensitivity Analysisiii. Base Case Financial Forecast:PLTR Base Case Financial ForecastWhile Palantir’s mounting share-based compensation balance has been a sign of deterrence for many investors due to added pressure to profit margins and share dilution risks in the long-run, we believe the company’s strong fundamentals and growth prospects ahead will be more than enough to offset related impacts. Recall from our discussion in earlier sections that share-based compensation expenses are non-cash in nature, thus from a fundamental perspective, Palantir’s free cash flows continue to reflect the underlying business’ high-growth nature. In short, the company continues to be increasingly self-sufficient with a robust cash runway to fund growth in coming years.And from a valuation perspective, the share-based compensation issued today cannot be exercised or sold until they vest, which could still be a few years out. Although many senior executives, including CEO Alex Karp, had offloaded a significant volume of shares last year causing stock price pressures, it was part of a long-term compensation-realization scheme, in which share-based compensation issued at the earlier days of Palantir were nearing expiry in December. As such, we are not expecting similar high-volume sell-offs within the foreseeable future.As we mentioned on prior earnings calls, Karp was granted options a decade ago which we set to expire on December 3rd of this year. Specifically, as a report equity yields 60.9 million options that were set to expire this December. The taxes from the exercise of the options are more than $0.5 billion. And so we've been selling shares along the way to generate funds to pay those taxes. Of the 16.9 million expiring options, he has now exercised 94% of the total. Of the remaining 6%, roughly half or 1.9 million of them will be sold by the expiration date, the other half exercised and as a result, all the near-term expiring options will be exercised.Source:Q3 2021 Earnings Call TranscriptThis is further corroborated by the fact that insider selling activity has since calmed according to recent SEC filings, with only one instance earlier this year by Alex Moore, a Palantir veteran. Similar to other insider share-selling activities observed in the past year, the offloaded shares were done in compliance with Rule 10b5-1, meaning it had been planned in advance and not based on any immediate insider information on the company’s performance. From a fundamental standpoint, the latest share-selling activity also does not imply any adverse impacts to the company’s growth outlook.Going forward, we expect share dilutions related to share-based compensation to occur at a much more mild rate, similar to other tech stocks that have very much relied on the non-cash compensation strategy to acquire top talent needed to facilitate growth. And robust fundamental growth in years ahead is expected to compensate for said dilution impacts. Palantir is expected to start realizing nominal profits of $141.1 million by 2025, with further growth towards $1.5 billion by the end of the decade based on our current base case forecast, which is also consistent with anticipated long-term top-line growth that management has guided. The returns are expected to far exceed the anticipated rate of share dilution at 4% per year resulting from the share-based compensation program.We also expect share-based compensation expenses to scale back and represent a smaller portion of annual revenues in coming years. Strategically, Palantir’s extension of generous share-based compensation packages for its employees will continue to provide them with an incentive to remain committed to the company’s growth. But to ensure the incentive is useful, it is unlikely that Palantir will do it at the expense of over-diluting the company’s share price over the longer-term. While the current share-based compensation expenses represent a large portion of annual revenues, we expect similar spending will scale back in coming years as the company continues to grow to ensure a balance and alignment of interest between employees and shareholders.ConclusionPalantir remains on a robust growth trajectory as global digitization trends in coming years continue to underpin demand for data management and analytics software like Foundry and Gotham. While government contracts, especially those associated with defense, remain Palantir’s priority, the company has made significant progress in strategically capitalizing on growth opportunities from the commercial segment. The resulting fundamental performance is also expected to compensate for any potential share-sale dilutions related to the share-based compensation program over the longer-term. With the stock now trading at a discount of more than 60% from its peak in early 2021 with no material changes to its growth outlook, we consider the recent pullback a reasonable entry point with potential upside momentum to resume going into the upcoming earnings season and as mounting macro headwinds abate.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1179,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":126777930,"gmtCreate":1624586530820,"gmtModify":1703841036925,"author":{"id":"3581546258382405","authorId":"3581546258382405","name":"blankTOGA","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3720d0317a789b5effd49ac6ec4eb5fa","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3581546258382405","idStr":"3581546258382405"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/S51.SI\">$SEMBCORP MARINE LTD(S51.SI)$</a>glad I dumped this garbage fire years ago.
