$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ $Hims & Hers Health Inc.(HIMS)$ โ๏ธ๐ค๐ Palantir vs Hims. AI vs Healthcare. Which One Really Delivers? ๐๐คโ๏ธ
In one corner we have $PLTR, the government backed AI titan with a cult following.
In the other, $HIMS, the DTC health disruptor with explosive growth and a short interest fuse ready to blow.
But letโs talk facts, not fandoms.
๐ Stock Performance (5Y):
$PLTR up +1126%
$HIMS up +290%
Thatโs knockout territory for Palantir, but the deeper metrics tell a more surprising story.
๐ง Revenue Growth:
$HIMS delivered stronger YoY expansion through 2022 and 2023. The curve is flattening now, but it still leads $PLTR in momentum.
Advantage: HIMS
๐ธ Free Cash Flow Growth:
In 2023, $HIMS surged past $PLTR with an 800 percent spike in FCF growth.
Advantage: HIMS
๐ฅ Dilution:
$PLTRโs stock based comp was a staggering over 100 percent of revenue in 2021.
$HIMS kept dilution below 20 percent every year.
Advantage: HIMS
๐ฐ Valuation:
$PLTR is trading at 191x forward FCF, compared to $HIMS at just 32x.
The risk reward ratio flips quickly if $PLTRโs AI contracts slow.
Advantage: HIMS
๐งพ Margins:
$PLTR boasts better gross margins and stronger free cash flow margins, showing scalable economics.
Advantage: PLTR
๐๏ธ Balance Sheet:
$PLTR has successfully deleveraged from a debt to equity ratio of 28 to under 5.
Both are lean now, but $PLTR showed more capital discipline over time.
Advantage: PLTR
๐ฏ Return on Capital:
Both companies are climbing from the red, but $HIMS has shown a sharper recovery in recent quarters.
Tiebreaker goes to the one with less variance.
Slight Edge: HIMS
๐ฅ Final Thoughts:
$PLTR is a narrative machine with serious geopolitical weight, but it trades like perfection is already priced in.
$HIMS is leaner, less diluted, has breakout earnings potential, and a 33 percent short float that could trigger a melt up.
One is a high valuation fortress.
The other is a pressure cooker waiting to explode.
