Mentioned in Video:

๐Ÿงจ Palantir is starting off Q4 2021 with a bang. They've expanded their Foundry for Builders program to include 10 new companies AND they've landed a massive Government contract thanks to their Gotham (and Apollo) platform. In this episode, I discuss these recent news items for Palantir, why they may not be priced into the stock… YET, and whether Palantir stock is one of the best stocks to buy now.

Video Transcript:



00:00
the start of this quarter has been
00:01
unbelievably good for palantir and i'm
00:03
really surprised that almost none of
00:05
this news seems to have been priced into
00:07
the stock
00:08
yet each quarter more and more
00:10
institutions are holding more and more
00:12
pound tier stock this past quarter nine
00:14
out of ten of the largest institutional
00:16
transactions around palantir were buys
00:19
likewise most of the top 10
00:21
institutional holders increased their
00:23
position size in palantir by triple
00:25
digit percentage points palantir has
00:27
quickly become one of ark invest's
00:29
biggest overall holdings weighing in at
00:31
over well over 700 million dollars
00:33
across all of their actively managed
00:35
funds combined even though all six of
00:37
those funds shrank by huge amounts over
00:39
the last quarter actually arkanvest only
00:42
has the third largest institutional
00:44
position in palencia stock and most of
00:46
the other top 10 institutional holders
00:48
bought even more of it this past quarter
00:50
than kathy wood did at least
00:52
percentage-wise the reason i'm pointing
00:54
all this out is that as more and more
00:56
institutions hold palantir stock more
00:58
analysts will continue to cover it and
01:00
information will get priced into the
01:02
stock faster and faster so i want to go
01:05
over a couple of these news items which
01:06
cover their continued expansion into the
01:08
commercial market via their foundry for
01:10
builders program as well as a major
01:12
government contract which they recently
01:14
won with their gotham platform before
01:17
this information gets priced into the
01:18
stock if you enjoy this type of research
01:21
and analysis consider liking this video
01:23
and subscribing to the channel with all
01:25
notifications turned on that way you'll
01:27
be the first to know when i come out
01:29
with more content on great growth stocks
01:31
like palantir regardless of how youtube
01:33
tunes its algorithm let's get right into
01:35
it starting with their expansion into
01:37
commercial businesses
01:39
back in july palantir launched a program
01:41
called foundry for builders an
01:42
initiative dedicated to supporting early
01:45
stage companies by providing them with
01:46
the foundry platform for palantir
01:49
foundry for builders marks their
01:50
continued expansion of its business
01:52
beyond large organizations with complex
01:55
data environments to younger companies
01:57
under foundry for builders palantir will
01:59
sell foundries to startups under a
02:01
subscription model first the companies
02:04
connected to palantir's alumni before
02:06
expanding the initiative to other early
02:08
stage companies right away let me point
02:10
out two important details here first
02:13
foundry for builders is a program that
02:15
helps palantir directly by giving them
02:17
early access to new use cases that they
02:19
can only get by bringing new early stage
02:21
companies onto the foundry platform
02:24
think about how much later palantir's
02:26
competitors are getting into some of
02:27
these young companies simply because of
02:29
budget reasons i also think that a lot
02:31
of investors don't realize that
02:33
palantir's strong relationships with the
02:35
us government don't stop it from getting
02:37
business all over the world the first
02:39
cohort of companies in the foundry for
02:41
builders program includes many companies
02:43
outside the us look how diverse this
02:46
roster is a new york-based company that
02:48
helps customers understand medicare
02:49
plans a london-based company that uses
02:52
ai to help companies make legal and
02:54
consulting decisions a norway-based
02:57
fintech company focused on business to
02:58
business buy now pay later solutions and
03:01
a company that makes robots for
03:02
industrial inspections all on the same
03:05
foundry platform talk about flexibility
03:08
the second thing is just my opinion but
03:10
hear me out when i first got into
03:12
college you could only get facebook if
03:14
you had an email that ended in edu and
03:17
you belonged to a certain group of
03:19
schools facebook generated a lot of buzz
03:21
by being so exclusive and at the time
03:24
everyone wanted to be on it this wasn't
03:26
your grandma's facebook yet facebook
03:28
being so exclusive in the beginning and
03:30
allowing all that demand to build up is
03:32
one of the foundational reasons i think
03:34
it got so big i'm not saying that
03:36
palantir's foundry for builders program
03:38
is going to do the exact same thing at
03:40
the exact same scale but i do think that
03:42
restricting the program to palantir
03:44
alumni only is going to keep generating
03:46
a lot of buzz and demand with companies
03:48
who want in but can't get it for now by
03:51
the time they build up their roster of
03:53
companies testimonials and supported use
03:55
cases to the point where they're ready
03:57
to allow anyone onto foundry the line of
03:59
companies who want access to it could be
04:01
very big well guess what just over a
04:04
week ago palantir added seven new
04:06
companies to the foundry for builders
04:07
program so let's take a quick look at
04:09
this second cohort elementis is a new
04:12
york based blockchain analytics platform
04:14
elementus is creating a universal
04:16
blockchain query engine to help
04:18
financial institutions maintain
04:20
compliance and security make informed
04:22
investment decisions and analyze
04:24
on-chain data so they're using
04:26
palantir's foundry platform to build a
04:28
collaborative blockchain ecosystem for
04:30
everyone from financial institutions to
04:32
regulators exchanges and even funds next
04:35
we have emyria a drug development and
04:38
clinical care company focused on
04:40
developing technology-powered health
04:41
services that elevate clinical care and
04:44
deliver deep clinical insights they
04:46
collect and systemize real-time dynamic
04:48
patient data and clinical evidence
04:50
across the entire healthcare journey
04:52
they're a healthcare data analytics
04:54
company that helps patients and
04:55
clinicians find new treatment plans and
04:57
they also help drug development
04:59
companies collect and analyze clinical
05:01
evidence to validate new treatments and
05:03
therapies emira is an australian company
05:06
that's publicly traded on the asx under
05:09
the ticker symbol emd
05:11
here's one more for you me prism is a
05:13
los angeles based startup focused on
05:15
enabling customers to take control of
05:17
their data and how it's transacted on
05:20
the digital marketplace i think this
05:22
company is a no-brainer for palantir
05:24
because its core company values include
05:26
data protection privacy and security me
05:29
prism is a service where you connect all
05:31
of your accounts to their platform and
05:33
receive a data score kind of like how
05:35
you have a credit score when your data
05:37
score is high enough which i assume
05:38
means you have enough data to be
05:40
valuable to different companies you can
05:42
use me prism to start selling your data
05:44
directly to those companies who bid on
05:46
it and you get paid instantly me prism
05:48
also shows users their online
05:50
personality breakdown which companies
05:52
bought their data without consent and
05:54
why they're being targeted with certain
05:55
kinds of advertisements think of all the
05:58
different data types structures and
05:59
sources that go into building this kind
06:01
of business i honestly can't think of a
06:03
better platform to build that business
06:05
than on palantir's foundry this emphasis
06:08
on data security isn't just some quirk
06:10
in palantir's corporate culture it's the
06:12
reason that they can work with large
06:13
government institutions on classified
06:15
programs as well as large commercial
06:17
institutions with secret projects and
06:19
secure networks each company on this
06:21
list is incredibly different from the
06:23
next streaming and collecting sports
06:25
data for european cricket digital
06:27
nutrition and food planning supply chain
06:30
automation wind farm optimization all
06:32
using the same foundry platform to do
06:34
the same thing in very different ways
06:36
get all their data together and analyze
06:38
it to automatically make meaningful
06:40
decisions at every step of their value
06:42
chain now think about it from palantir's
06:45
point of view after generating as many
06:46
use cases as they can from these
06:48
businesses how much easier will it be
06:50
for palantir to win the business from
06:52
the next blockchain analytics company
06:54
the next clinical care company or the
06:56
next personal data privacy company what
06:59
about when a state or federal government
07:01
agency wants to start a program focused
07:03
on the blockchain or on regulating
07:05
consumer data privacy even though
07:07
palutear doesn't share data across
07:08
clients nothing stops them from porting
07:10
these high-level models and tools back
07:12
to their other platforms that's the
07:14
virtuous cycle that i think palantir is
07:16
really getting itself into by investing
07:18
in early stage companies on the
07:20
commercial side and having them build on
07:22
the foundry platform if you're
07:23
interested in learning more about
07:25
palantir's investments and business on
07:27
the commercial side i'm organizing and
07:28
putting out a lot more written content
07:30
on it if you're a regular viewer of the
07:32
channel you know that i've been
07:34
producing educational investing content
07:36
for about a year now during that time
07:38
i've turned down over a hundred offers
07:40
from dozens of potential sponsors that's
07:42
because i really believe that your time
07:44
is valuable and i always try to treat it
07:46
like an investment i never want to put
07:48
products or services in front of you
07:50
that i don't use myself well after some
07:52
soul searching i'm excited to finally
07:54
put a sponsor in front of you that i
07:56
really believe has a lot of integrity
07:58
and is worth supporting so i'm proud to
08:00
say that this episode is sponsored by
08:02
public.com an investing social network
08:04
that i feel really brings together the
08:06
best of both worlds on the investing
08:08
side public.com is free to use with no
08:10
account minimum to get started they
08:12
don't charge fees for standard trades
08:14
and they allow you to buy slices of
08:16
stocks for as little as one dollar
08:18
speaking of data privacy public doesn't
08:20
participate in payment for order flow
08:23
meaning they don't sell your trades to
08:24
market makers or other trading firms
08:27
that's really important to me i'm even
08:29
more excited about publix community
08:31
where i've been able to exchange
08:32
investing ideas with thousands of other
08:34
like-minded long-term focused investors
08:37
public often hosts live town halls with
08:39
ceos of publicly traded companies as
08:41
well as gives creators like me the tools
08:43
we need to create and share meaningful
08:45

09:19
i'll leave a link to that exclusive
09:21
offer for you in the description below
09:23
as well
09:24
great let's switch from palantir's
09:26
commercial side over to their government
09:28
side a little over a week ago palantir
09:30
announced that it has been selected by
09:31
the us army's program manager for
09:33
intelligence systems and analytics to
09:35
deliver the army's intelligence data
09:37
fabric and analytics foundation for the
09:40
cd2 program pouncer was selected to
09:42
progress to the next phase of the army's
09:44
competitive
09:45
823 million dollar id iq contract idiq
09:49
stands for indefinite delivery
09:51
indefinite quantity palantir will deploy
09:54
gotham to support army intelligence
09:56
users worldwide with a globally
09:57
federated intelligence data fabric and
10:00
analytics platform that spans multiple
10:02
security classifications so let me point
10:05
out two things here as well first having
10:08
one platform that supports a worldwide
10:10
list of army users that spans multiple
10:12
classifications is a very very difficult
10:15
challenge because different areas of the
10:17
army have different ways of handling
10:19
their access lists and their networks
10:21
not to mention the actual data and
10:23
analytics capabilities you'd think
10:25
everything for the army would be
10:26
standardized everywhere and work the
10:28
same way and that's probably true on
10:30
paper but it never works that way in
10:32
practice plugging the us army's
10:34
intelligence systems and analytics into
10:37
palantir's gotham platform will bring
10:39
this part of the army a lot closer to
10:41
having that unified consistent view of
10:43
all of their data which is obviously
10:45
super important when you're talking
10:47
about multiple teams stationed all
10:48
around the world second although it
10:51
isn't explicitly mentioned in the
10:52
article i'm willing to bet that palantir
10:54
was selected at least in part because of
10:56
their apollo platform which is the
10:58
platform that powers their other
11:00
platforms apollo sits between palantir's
11:02
other applications and the underlying
11:05
infrastructure that they run on in order
11:07
to orchestrate automate and
11:09
asynchronously deliver updates to their
11:11
installations of gotham and foundry if
11:13
that just sounded like a bunch of
11:15
buzzwords in mumbo jumbo to you let me
11:17
say it a different way apollo lets
11:19
palantir push the right updates to the
11:21
right clients and the right machines at
11:23
the right times even if those machines
11:25
are sitting on classified networks or
11:27
networks that don't touch the internet i
11:30
cannot emphasize enough how big of a
11:32
market apollo unlocks for palantir that
11:34
other software-as-a-service companies
11:36
simply cannot touch
11:38
apollo is what allows palantir to be one
11:40
of just five companies authorized for
11:43
mission-critical national security
11:44
systems by the us department of defense
11:48
the other four companies are oracle
11:50
microsoft project hosts and disa which
11:52
is the defense information systems
11:54
agency this is a tiny list think about
11:57
how sticky that makes palantir if this
12:00
part of the us army decides they want to
12:01
try a new platform imagine the amount of
12:04
infrastructure and software they'll have
12:06
to change to do it i'm excited to track
12:08
the progress of the idiq program and
12:11
this cd2 program over time because new
12:13
news on these programs could highlight
12:15
more and more differentiators that allow
12:17
palantir to get in with other big
12:19
companies and other big programs for
12:21
those companies over time everything
12:24
i've just talked about so far is
12:25
literally just two days worth of news
12:27
from palantir at the time of this
12:29
recording palantir stock is down seven
12:31
percent over the last month and is still
12:33
trading sideways since the start of the
12:35
quarter so i'm pretty sure that this
12:37
news isn't getting priced in yet comment
12:39
below or tweet me at ticker symbol u
12:41
with your thoughts do you think this is
12:43
just business as usual for their foundry
12:45
and gotham platforms or did one of these
12:47
companies or use cases that palantir
12:49
added to foundry for builders surprise
12:51
you i'm excited to hear your thoughts as
12:54
for me i think investors and analysts
12:56
aren't really seeing the forest for the
12:57
trees with these news items palantir is
13:00
adding blockchain focused use cases to
13:02
their foundry platform thanks to
13:03
elementos if they can handle that i'm
13:06
hard pressed to think of a use case that
13:07
they can't handle
13:09
i also think that they're going to keep
13:10
proving that gotham and apollo can help
13:12
modernize the data layer for a lot of
13:15
the defense industry and support
13:16
real-time decision making for a wide
13:18
variety of defense applications across a
13:21
lot of separate systems at a lot of
13:23
different classification levels and of
13:25
course all of these things will continue
13:27
to feed back into each other as palantir
13:29
stands up more out of the box
13:31
functionality on every platform as it
13:33
keeps adding new clients and contracts
13:35
to any one of them that's why palantir
13:37
is going to have one of the top spots in
13:39
my 100 thousand dollar portfolio that
13:41
i'm opening on public.com when this
13:43
channel hits 100 000 subscribers i'm
13:46
building that portfolio from scratch to
13:48
compete directly with rk arc invest's
13:51
flagship innovation fund which also
13:53
holds a lot of pound-tier stock i hope
13:55
to run this investing project for at
13:56
least the next five years or as long as
13:59
it takes me to admit defeat if you're
14:01
