Palantir and BigBear.ai are competing in the AI software market, with Palantir showing significant growth potential in 2026. Palantir is emerging as a leader by gaining new customers and expanding existing business, reflecting in a 110% year-over-year increase in adjusted earnings per share in Q3.

On the other hand, BigBear.ai is facing challenges with a 20% revenue drop in Q3. The company recently acquired Ask Sage to boost growth, but its revenue visibility is not as strong as Palantir’s. BigBear.ai relies heavily on government contracts, while Palantir seems poised for substantial growth in 2026.

Investors may find Palantir a better AI stock to buy, despite its higher valuation, as it is expected to outperform BigBear.ai. Palantir’s revenue backlog and customer growth suggest a promising future, while BigBear.ai struggles with organic growth and government contract reliance. Palantir’s potential for accelerated growth in 2026 makes it a preferred choice among the two.
