The next AI company Wall Street is bullish on!

Next, let’s talk about Palantir. The company released its latest earnings report yesterday—and its stock surged 30% today. So just how strong was this earnings report? Let’s take a closer look. The report showed revenue of $608 million, up 20% year-on-year and slightly above the consensus expectation of $602 million. Earnings per share came in at $0.08—exactly in line with expectations. For guidance, Palantir projected Q1 revenue between $612 million and $616 million—slightly below Wall Street’s forecast of $617 million—and full-year revenue between $2.65 billion and $2.67 billion, versus the Street’s $2.66 billion estimate. At first glance, these results hardly seem explosive—so why did the stock jump 30%? Let’s examine the breakdown. On the revenue front, U.S. commercial revenue soared 70% year-on-year to $131 million, while the number of commercial customers jumped 55% to 221. The value of contracted backlog stood at $343 million—a 107% increase year-on-year. This outstanding performance in U.S. commercial operations was the single most important driver behind today’s rally. Citigroup analysts noted that Palantir’s commercial division has demonstrated breakthrough momentum, propelling overall results—and accordingly raised their price target from $10 to $20. Similarly, Jefferies upgraded its target, highlighting the unexpectedly strong performance of Palantir’s AI platform. Overall, Palantir’s commercial business grew 32% to $284 million, while government business rose 11% to $324 million. What truly excited the market was Palantir’s AI platform. This platform enables customers to leverage large language models—integrated with their own data, logic, and decision-making frameworks—to empower their own AI applications. Bank of America reiterated its ‘Buy’ rating, stating that although Palantir’s AI platform is still in its early stages, it has already begun delivering a meaningful uplift to the company’s financial performance.
