Palantir Beats Q1 Estimates, 85% Revenue Growth
Palantir reported first-quarter 2026 results that exceeded Wall Street expectations, with revenue of $1.63 billion (vs. $1.54 billion expected) and adjusted EPS of $0.33 (vs. $0.28 expected). Revenue rose about 85%, the fastest expansion since the company's 2020 public debut. Net income roughly quadrupled to $870.5 million. Management raised full-year guidance, expecting $4.2–$4.4 billion in adjusted free cash flow and $7.65–$7.66 billion in 2026 revenue. Palantir saw strong growth from U.S. government customers (84% year-over-year) and 133% growth in U.S. commercial revenue for the quarter. The company reported 1,007 commercial customers (trailing 12 months ended March 31) and $4.45 billion in remaining performance obligations.
Palantir Reports 96% Revenue Growth, Government Deals Drive Boom
Palantir's Q3 2026 earnings beat expectations with revenue nearly doubling to $2.31 billion (up 96% YoY) and net income more than doubling to $1.13 billion. U.S. commercial revenue surged 148% to $984 million, surpassing U.S. government revenue of $953 million for the first time, driven by enterprise AI adoption. However, the company flagged a slowdown in enterprise sales as total contract value from U.S. enterprises fell to $1.46 billion from a record $2.13 billion in Q2. CEO Alex Karp noted shorter-term trials, reflecting quicker AI adoption but higher churn risk. Palantir raised full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $8.53 billion, projecting U.S. commercial growth of at least 143%, and expects Q4 revenue of $2.65 billion. Despite strong results, shares dipped 3% in extended trading on sustainability concerns, while Karp reiterated calls to nationalize AI labs.
Palantir Soars on Surging AI-Sovereignty Revenue
On Aug. 4, 2026 Palantir reported blockbuster Q2 results, with revenue rising 93% year‑over‑year to $1.94 billion and net income increasing roughly 125%. The quarter beat analyst consensus (~$1.8B) and was driven by the U.S., where revenue more than doubled to $1.57 billion — commercial revenue jumped 149% to $764 million while government revenue grew 90% to $809 million. Management and CEO Alex Karp credited strong demand for AI‑sovereignty and data‑privacy offerings such as AIP and AIP Evolve, positioning Palantir as a counterweight to frontier AI labs. The company raised full‑year revenue guidance to $8.15B–$8.158B and expects commercial revenue above $3.424B. Wall Street firms including Deutsche Bank, UBS, Citi and BofA raised price targets or ratings, and shares rose about 14–16% in extended trading.
