Palantir, Inc. (Fungi)) The shares can be approximately 20 % based on the high revenue expectations for analysts, using the FCF score estimate by 48 % and FCF return by 0.52 % (i.e. 192X). One way to play PLTR is to put short money.
PLTR shares are traded in 181.07 dollars In the middle of the day on Tuesday, September 23. This represents an increase in its lowest level in recent times 153.11 dollars On September 5.
But it might be almost worth it 217 dollars per shareBased on strong FCF expectations. This article will update the previous target price assessment of the Barchart article on August 5 (“Free cash flow margins in Balniar rises – where this leaves PLTR. “))
In issuing profits of August 4, Palantir raised its revenues and estimated free cash flow (FCF) for this year to $ 4.15 billion and $ 2.0 billion, respectively, at the end of the range.
This means that the average FCF margin may end 48.0 % Revenue (i.e. 2 billion dollars/4.15 billion dollars).
In fact, Palantir’s Q2 ADJ. FCF margin was amazing 56.7 % (That is, 569 million dollars/$ 1.0 billion, Q2). The stock analysis shows that the non -modified FCF margin that has been modified for 12 months was 49.7 %.
But now, analysts expect that 2026 revenues will rise to 5.61 billion dollars. This increases from previous expectations of $ 5.33 billion, as I discussed in my previous article.
As a result, we can raise the FCF margin and FCF forecast. For example, assuming that it makes a FCF margin by 48 %, FCF can increase by 34.5 % during 2025:
5.69 billion dollars 2026 is. x 0.48 = $ 2.69 billion ADJ. FCF
$ 2.69 2026 / 2.0 dollars (advanced 2025 estimate) = 1.345-1 = +34.5 % increase in FCF
A rating can be paid much higher.
Currently, PLTR is trading a FCF double for more than 215 times. This depends on the maximum current market is $ 431 billion, according to Yahoo! Finance, administrative Q2 forecasts reach $ 2 billion in ADJ. FCF:
431 billion dollars / $ 2.0 = 215.5X
This is the same FCF return less than 0.5 % (i.e. 2B/431B dollars = 0.00464, or 0.464 %). In other words, if the Palantir pays 100 % of ADJ. FCF to its shareholders, the profit return will be 0.46 %.
Therefore, in order to be only conservative, let’s raise this return to 0.52 % (i.e. only 192X, which is 10 % less From the present 215x multiple) on our adj. FCF estimate:
2.69 billion dollars 2026 ADJ. FCF is. x 192 = 516.5 billion dollars MKT CAP
This remains approximately 20 % higher than the maximum current market in Balnter:
$ 516.5B / $ 431B = 1.1984 -1 = +19.8 % up
In other words, the value of PLTR shares is 19.8 % of its price today of $ 181.07:
The price of 181.07 dollars today x 1.198 = 216.92 dollars The target price
The bottom line is that PLTR still has a lot of upward trend during the next year. This depends on 48 % ADJ. The FCF margin next year is to estimate analysts’ revenues, as well as FCF’s return by 0.52 %.
One way to play this is a short sale outside of money (OTM). In this way, the investor can set a lower purchase point and gain additional income while waiting.
In this evaluation, high complications can lead to the price of fluctuating stocks. For this reason, investors should try to set a lower target price. This can be done by shortening options outside of money in the near -term (OTM).
For example, see the expiration period of October 24, 31 days from now. He explains that the price of the option exercise is worth $ 165.00, the center point premium of $ 4.15.
This means that the investor who gets $ 16,500 with the brokerage company can achieve $ 415 immediately by issuing a “sale” order to open the contract at $ 165.00 on October 24.
In other words, the investor offers an immediate return of more than 2.5 %:
415 dollars/16500 dollars = 0.02515 = 2.515 %
Moreover, the tie point – that is, the price after the income that was already received – is much lower than today’s price:
$ 165.00 – $ 4.15 = 160.85 dollars Tie
160.85 dollars / $ 187.07 -1 = -1116 = -11.16 % less than today’s price
Note, however, this only happens if the PLTR share decreases to $ 165.00 during the next month, and the investor guarantees of $ 16,500 to buy 100 PLTR shares will be set.
If PLTR does not decrease to this point, then all the investor has gained income 2.5 %.
Is this very bad? Perhaps not, after all, if the investor can repeat this play for 6 months, the expected return exceeds 15 %:
0.02515 x 6 = 0.1509
In other words, this is like investing in PLTR today and its vision rises to 208.39 dollars (I.e. 1.1509 x 181.07 dollars).
This is very close to (20 % of the upward trend) 216.92 dollars The target price during the next year. And remember that the average tie point continues to decrease, if the account is set to buy shares.
The bottom line here is that PLTR can have 20 % of here. One way to play is a short sale outside the money.
