PLTR — analysis and forecast
🧬 Faro multibagger DNA
Does it look today like the big multibaggers (×10, ×100) did when they started? 7 traits measured with public data.
Strongest: Sales engine and Business quality. Most lacking: Room to grow and Price vs. growth.
Capped at 60 for size: it is so big that ×10 would require an off-the-charts valuation.
Worth $429 B. To grow ×10 it would have to reach $4.29 T.
Sales +93% last quarter (year over year) and +56% last fiscal year · accelerating.
Gross margin 85%, operating margin 47%, return on equity 38%.
Free cash flow $2.2 B a year = 0.5% of its value.
Trades at 69.6× sales: 0.93 per point of growth (lower is better).
Net cash equal to 2% of its value.
Government contracts with firm money = 0.0% of its value · inside a Faro megatrend · insiders own 3.5%.
⏱️ Timing (not scored): mid-range over 12 months (68%) · above its 200-day average · trailing the S&P 500 by 22 points over 12 months.
Built on the traits of 365 stocks that went ×100 (Mayer, 1962–2014) and 464 that went ×10 (Yartseva, 2009–2024), plus the Faro thesis. It does not predict the price and is not a recommendation. How it works and the ranking →

🧠 How it is calculated
The verdict combines trend (20/50/200 moving averages), momentum (RSI, MACD), mean reversion (Bollinger Bands), conviction (volume) and historical drift, weighted differently for each horizon. Uncertainty is modeled with a lognormal probability cone (geometric Brownian motion). This is statistical analysis, not a crystal ball.
