Palantir Technologies saw its shares surge by 5.03% in Friday's trading session, as the AI data analytics company continues to ride a massive wave of bullishness driven by soaring demand for its cutting-edge artificial intelligence products and services.
The latest jump adds to a remarkable rally for Palantir over the past year, with its stock skyrocketing more than 315% fueled by the AI boom. The company has emerged as a key player in developing advanced AI systems for governmental agencies and commercial organizations.
Palantir's revenue growth has accelerated rapidly, surging 30% year-over-year in the latest quarter to $726 million. Its commercial business is firing on all cylinders, with US commercial revenue soaring 54% from a year ago. The company has secured several major new contracts, including deals worth $37 million with US Special Operations Command and $100 million with the US Army Research Laboratory.
Bolstering investor confidence, Palantir's management has been vocal about the "unwavering demand" for its AI technologies from both government and commercial customers. CEO Alex Karp stated the company's "financial performance is exceeding expectations" as it meets the surging interest in its AI platform.
