Watch list

What moves the thesis, sorted by direction.

Tailwind

US commercial engine

US commercial bookings hit a record $2.13B (+153%) and the full-year guide now calls for at least $3.42B of revenue, up 134% or more.

Tailwind

Cash machine

Q2 cash from operations was $1.22B, a 63% margin. Palantir holds $9.2B of cash and Treasuries, has no borrowings, and guides $4.5–4.7B of adjusted free cash flow this year.

Watch

Q3 bar

The Street expects about $2.18B, just above the $2.16B guide. Palantir beat the top of its guide by 5.7–8.7% in each of the last five quarters, yet the stock fell after two of those reports.

Watch

International lag

The US is 81% of revenue. International commercial grew only 26%, so growth depends heavily on one country's companies and agencies.

Risk

Valuation

At about $502B the stock trades near 62 times this year's revenue guide and about 180 times trailing GAAP earnings. Any slowdown would hit a price like that hard.

Risk

Stock pay and dilution

Stock-based compensation was $265M in Q2 (14% of revenue). It is the main gap between the 62% adjusted and 47% GAAP operating margin, and diluted shares (2.57B) run well above basic (2.40B).
