Investors are pricing in explosive growth for Palantir, with expectations running high even after the company posted strong earnings. Revenue surged 63% to $1.18 billion, driven by commercial sales that outpaced government contracts for the fourth consecutive quarter.

Adoption of Palantir’s AI Platform (AIP) is growing, with commercial revenue more than doubling in the U.S. Total contract value reached $2.8 billion, up 151% year-over-year, with existing clients spending more and showing accelerating usage, reflected in a net dollar retention rate of 134%.

Palantir’s strong revenue growth is translating into profits, with the company’s adjusted operating margin reaching 51%.
