Palantir Stock Soars After Sales Growth Beats Expectations -- WSJ

Dow Jones11-05

By Heather Somerville

Palantir Technologies shares jumped after the software company posted strong sales and raised its revenue guidance, buoying investor confidence in its growth amid voracious appetite for artificial-intelligence products.

Palantir reported revenue of $726 million for last quarter, a 30% increase on a year earlier and above analysts' expectations. Shares were up 12% in recent premarket trading, echoing an afterhours rally.

Analysts say growth in Palantir's commercial business and government contracts are critical to justify its lofty-and rising-stock price. The company notched some major contracts with the Defense Department this year, including an expanded role in Project Maven, the Pentagon's marquee AI program.
