Palantir posted another stellar quarter, with sales of $2.3 billion, up 96% year over year, driven by US commercial growth of 148% to $984 million, beating US government sales of $953 million for the first time. The firm also raised its 2026 sales outlook by nearly 500 basis points to $8.53 billion.
Palantir is a premier AI software company poised to benefit from growing demand for digitization and automation, and has successfully made itself a valuable part of the AI value chain.
Faster, cheaper AI inference will lower technical barriers to entry to building decision-making software, which could increase competition from Big Tech, frontier labs, as well as in-house IT teams.
