Andrew Left from Citron Research maintains his aggressive short position against Palantir Technologies. The analyst reinforced his $40 per share valuation target through multiple calculation methods. Left applies OpenAI's pricing metrics to justify his bearish stance on the data analytics company. OpenAI commands approximately $500 billion in market value based on $29.6 billion projected revenue for 2026. This creates a 17x price-to-sales ratio that Left uses as his benchmark.
Citron Research multiplies Palantir's anticipated 2026 revenue of $5.6 billion by the 17x factor. The calculation produces a theoretical market capitalization of $95.2 billion for Palantir. Left also draws comparisons between Palantir and Databricks regarding operational metrics. Both companies generate similar annual revenue and maintain comparable gross profit margins. Databricks carries a $100 billion valuation that supports Left's $40 price projection.
Palantir stock declined 16 percent during the previous five trading sessions. Premarket activity showed an additional 2 percent decrease. Left demonstrates precise timing with his short selling strategy against the technology stock.
