Palantir Reports 96% Revenue Growth Amid Slowdown in New Contract Value
Palantir Technologies (PLTR) reported third-quarter revenue of $2.31 billion, a 96% increase year-over-year that exceeded analyst expectations. Despite the strong top-line growth and positive fourth-quarter guidance, the company's total contract value grew only 6%, a significant deceleration from the 49% growth seen in the previous quarter. Management attributed the slowdown in contract value to a shift in deal structures, noting that customers are opting for shorter-duration contracts to rapidly deploy sovereign AI features. While this allows for quicker deployment and high net dollar retention (165%), it has resulted in a shrinking backlog relative to revenue pace. Consequently, shares fell 7.8% in premarket trading as investors weighed the implications of shorter contract cycles on long-term stability.
