正如我之前所说,Palanteer预计今年的自由现金流约为46亿美元,其当前市值约为4160亿。因此,如果我们用这个除以4.6,那么意味着Palanteer的业务基于当前年度估计的市现率约为90。
对于任何企业来说,这仍然是一个非常高的倍数。再说一次,90倍自由现金流。我们说的不是销售额,而是他们今年的自由现金流指引。所以我确实认为Palanteer的业务仍然处于较贵的区间。
我认为值得快速做一个DCF来展示我的意思。在这个快速DCF中,作为一个例子,我假设Palanteer将在未来3年内每年增长50%的自由现金流,并以55倍自由现金流交易。即使在这个DCF中,我们也能获得12%的股价复合年增长率。
所以不要误会我的意思,我认为Palanteer是一家了不起的公司,但它定价包含了大量增长。现在买入股票意味着该业务在未来三年内几乎必须将其自由现金流翻两番,并保持55倍的倍数。
这不是不可能,但我认为仅仅为了12%的股价年回报率,这对业务要求太高了。
Now, as I said earlier, Palanteer is expecting about $4.6 billion of free cash flow for this year and its market cap is currently about 416 billion. So if we divide this by 4.6, then it means that Palanteer's business is trading for a price to free cash flow of about 90 based on their current year estimates. This is still a very high multiple to pay for any business. Again, 90 times free cash flow. This isn't sales we're talking about. This is their free cash flow guidance for this year. So I do think that Palanteer's business is still on the more expensive end. And I do think it is worth running a quick DCF to show you what I mean here. So here in this quick DCF just as an example I said that Palunteer will grow its free cash flow by 50% annually over the next 3 years and trade for 55 times free cash flow. And even in this DCF we get a 12% compounded annual growth rate to the share price. So don't get me wrong I think that Palanteer is an incredible company but it is priced for a lot of growth here. Buying the stock right now means that the business would nearly have to quadruple its free cash flow over the next three years and maintain a 55 multiple. It's not impossible, but I think that this is a lot to ask from the business just for a 12% annual return to the share price.

这不是不可能,但我认为仅仅为了12%的股价年回报率,这对业务要求太高了。总的来说,我认为Palanteer的基本面绝对离谱。我的意思是,我认为在这一点上你甚至无法质疑。再说一次,收入几乎翻倍,自由现金流利润率为63%,资本支出基本没有增长,资产负债表非常稳健。
我唯一的顾虑是,我认为很多增长已经反映在股价中。即使它继续看到非常强劲的增长并以高倍数交易,它仍然可能产生大约12%的年回报率。所以,该股有可能超过这个DCF中的这些估计。但我是一个更保守的投资者,我真的不想为了获得12%的年回报率而将这些增长纳入我的投资组合。
所以对我来说,我将继续放弃Palanteer。但说真的,这家公司的基本面绝对令人难以置信。

It's not impossible, but I think that this is a lot to ask from the business just for a 12% annual return to the share price. So overall, I think that Palunteer's fundamentals are absolutely ridiculous. I mean, I don't think you can even question that at this point. Again, revenue is nearly doubling with a 63% free cash flow margin with capex basically not growing at all and with the balance sheet being pristine. My only sticking point is I think that a lot of this growth is already priced into the business. And even if it continues to see very strong growth and trade for a high multiple, then it could still produce around a 12% annual return. So, it's not impossible that the stock could beat this DCF in these estimates here. But I'm a more conservative investor and I don't really want to underwrite this growth into my portfolio just to get a 12% annual return. So for me, I'm going to continue passing on Palanteer. But seriously, the fundamentals of this business are absolutely incredible.
