Palantir Technologies (PLTR) reported a landmark second quarter, surpassing $1 billion in revenue for the first time and delivering results that beat Wall Street estimates across the board. At the time of writing shares rose more than 8% Tuesday following the announcement, with investors responding positively to the company’s sharp acceleration in growth and raised guidance.
📍 Here’s the breakdown:
• Revenue reached $1 billion, up 48% YoY and well above analyst expectations of $939 million
• EPS came in at $0.16, topping consensus estimates of $0.14 and marking a 77% increase from the same period last year
• Net income more than doubled to $326.7 million, or $0.13 per share, compared to $134.1 million, or $0.06 per share, a year ago
CEO Alex Karp called it a “once in a generation, truly anomalous quarter” and underscored the momentum driven by Palantir’s Artificial Intelligence Platform. “The growth rate of our business has accelerated radically,” Karp said. “Yet we see no reason to pause, to relent, here.” He added, “We’re very proud and we’re sorry that our haters are disappointed, but there are many more quarters to be disappointed, and we’re working on that too.”

• U.S. revenue surged 68% to $733 million, with U.S. commercial revenue nearly doubling to $306 million
