Palantir Reports Record Revenue Growth Amid Shifting Enterprise Contract Dynamics
Palantir (PLTR) reported a significant third-quarter earnings beat, with revenue reaching $2.31 billion—a 96% year-over-year increase that surpassed analyst expectations of $2.18 billion. The company also reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.44, beating the consensus estimate of $0.41. A major milestone was achieved as U.S. commercial revenue ($984 million) overtook U.S. government revenue ($953 million) for the first time, driven largely by high demand for its AI software platforms. Despite the strong top-line growth and raised full-year guidance, investors reacted cautiously due to shifting contract structures. CEO Alex Karp noted that while enterprise interest is surging, companies are increasingly opting for shorter-term trials rather than long-term commitments. This trend was reflected in a decline in U.S. enterprise total contract value (TCV), which fell to $1.46 billion from the previous quarter's record of $2.13 billion, signaling potential deceleration in large-scale deal closures.
