Palantir's valuation is unsustainable despite impressive business growth and adjusted metrics; GAAP figures reveal minimal actual earnings, leading to a "Sell" reiteration. Palantir's business model's existential problem - the lack of non-adjusted margins - is still there. Even with a 25% premium to today's EPS consensus for FY2025/26, the stock is overvalued. Considering that the whole business model of the firm is centered around its employees, the SAR expenses we saw as "one-time" for Q4 are likely to emerge again and again.
