Palantir reports 93% revenue surge, doubles earnings to 1.94 billion on U.S. government and AI demand

Palantir reported a 93% year-over-year revenue surge in its latest quarter, nearly doubling earnings to $1.94 billion and exceeding analyst expectations of $1.8 billion. The U.S.-based data analytics firm, known for its work with American security agencies, saw its stock rise by up to 14% in after-hours trading following the announcement .
The growth was driven primarily by U.S. operations, where revenue reached $1.57 billion—more than double the previous year’s figure. Government contracts, including those with the Department of Homeland Security and the Pentagon, contributed $809 million, a 90% increase. Commercial revenue in the U.S. jumped 149% to $764 million .
CEO Alex Karp used the earnings call to position Palantir as a counterbalance to leading AI developers like OpenAI and Anthropic, emphasizing its role in allowing clients to retain control over their data when using third-party AI software. Karp stated that companies pay to have their data integrated into AI models, enabling them to build competing businesses, despite denials from major AI labs that they use customer data for training .
Palantir’s software, which specializes in analyzing large datasets for intelligence and military applications, has been deployed by U.S. agencies and, according to media reports, in the Iran conflict. The company also raised its full-year revenue forecast, surpassing market projections for the current quarter .
Quarterly revenue grew by roughly 20% within three months, with the company’s AI and data analytics tools seeing heightened demand. Analysts had anticipated $1.8 billion in revenue, but Palantir’s performance outpaced those estimates .
