RT @Technimentals: $HIMS jumped over 25% yesterday after they announced they will offer compounded GLP-1 agonist weight loss drugs at a much lower price than branded versions.
@alc2022 thinks this could be a 100x stock and has written some in-depth articles on the company.

Utilities and insurance $ACGL are among the best performers so far this year, don’t forget that $BRK.B is one the biggest players in both segments 😉

Surprised that $NVDA is only top3 performer in the S&P 500 year to date…
40% run in $CMG is also hard to understand for me 🤷🏻♂️
I can understand why people are “excited” about utilities.

$PLTR's contribution margin increased from 55% in Q4 2023 to 60% in Q1 2024.
This means financials are set to improve exponentially over the coming year, because contribution margin is the leading indicator of $PLTR's overall financial performance.
An explanation 👇
$PLTR is rapidly productizing its offerings, best evidenced by a rising contribution margin.
Contribution margin is defined as “revenue less cost of revenue and sales and marketing expenses, excluding stock-based compensation, divided by revenue.”
An increasing contribution margin signals lower deployment costs and therefore improved unit economics.
As a leading indicator of profitability, all other margins follow suit. Contribution margin is thus the most signal-rich metric of the Palantir thesis: if it rises quickly, cash flow production will also increase.
According to my initial thesis, $PLTR's aggregate contribution margin has increased from 54% in FY2022 to 56% in FY2023.
More notably, the metric has risen from 55% in Q1 2023 to 60% in Q1 2024, indicating a significant acceleration in the rate of productization.
This aligns with management’s comments during the latest earnings call:
"So, in one to five days with a bootcamp, we're able to do what used to take three months. And we're seeing customers shortly after bootcamp sign seven-figure deals."
-Ryan Taylor, Palantir CLO, Q1 2024 earnings call.
As the bootcamps themselves are productized—allowing $PLTR to conduct more bootcamps per unit of time—I believe contribution margin will accelerate further.
We can already see this dynamic in this quarter’s acceleration. In Q1 2024, $PLTR launched Build with AIP, which aims to assist in the productization of the bootcamps:
"And we have started rolling out Build with AIP, a series of developer and builder-oriented tutorials and reference implementations that enable builders to ramp quickly on the primitives and power of AIP in practical examples that unlock every employee at every customer."
-Shyam Sankar, Palantir CTO, Q1 2024 earnings call.
This alone is poised to increase $PLTR's cash flow production levels big time.
But, at the current rate of acceleration, the contribution margin will rise above 90% in the coming years, fundamentally transforming $PLTR's business model.
At 90%, seamless deployment will allow $PLTR to dramatically increase the number of customers per vertical, enabling $PLTR to then provide a scalable infrastructure blueprint accessible to companies N+1 and beyond.
This approach liberates each subsequent company from purchasing raw compute, allowing them to acquire computation precisely tailored to their operational objectives.
Similar to how providing wildcatters with industrial drilling equipment revolutionizes extraction, this shift changes how computation is sold in the market.
By positioning $PLTR at the top of the cloud compute funnel, this strategy enables the company to redirect prospective customers to the cloud hyperscalers.
Over time, this should enhance $PLTR's operating capabilities and, consequently, increase free cash flow per share.
