Stock Track05:11

Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR) reported impressive third-quarter 2024 results, beating analysts' expectations for both earnings and revenue. The strong performance was driven by robust demand for the company's artificial intelligence (AI) offerings, particularly from the U.S. government and commercial sectors.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2024, Palantir posted earnings of $0.10 per share, exceeding the consensus estimate of $0.09. Revenue soared 30% year-over-year to $725.5 million, surpassing expectations of $701.1 million. This marked the company's strongest quarterly profit ever, with net income of $144 million.

The impressive results were fueled by skyrocketing demand for Palantir's AI platform and services, with the U.S. revenue growing a staggering 44% year-over-year to $499 million. The U.S. commercial revenue grew 54%, while the U.S. government revenue climbed 40% year-over-year.

Buoyed by the strong performance, Palantir raised its full-year revenue guidance for the third time in 2024. The company now expects revenue between $2.805 billion and $2.809 billion, up from its previous forecast of $2.742 billion to $2.750 billion. Additionally, Palantir raised its adjusted income from operations guidance to the range of $1.054 billion to $1.058 billion, reflecting the strong demand for its AI solutions.

In a statement, Palantir CEO Alex Karp said, "We absolutely eviscerated this quarter, driven by unrelenting AI demand that won't slow down. This is a U.S.-driven AI revolution that has taken full hold. The world will be divided between AI haves and have-nots. At Palantir, we plan to power the winners."
