Palantir Technologies Inc (NASDAQ: PLTR) delivered a strong fourth-quarter earnings report, beating Wall Street expectations on both revenue and profit while issuing a significantly stronger-than-expected outlook for 2026. The results highlight accelerating demand for Palantir’s data analytics and artificial intelligence software, particularly across its U.S. commercial and government businesses. Following the announcement, Palantir shares climbed about 7% in extended trading.
For the fourth quarter, Palantir reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.25, surpassing analysts’ estimates of $0.23. Revenue came in at $1.41 billion, well above the consensus forecast of $1.32 billion, reflecting robust customer adoption of its AI-driven platforms. The company also demonstrated strong operational momentum, with total revenue rising 70% year over year and 19% sequentially.
Looking ahead, Palantir provided an optimistic outlook that exceeded market expectations. The company forecast first-quarter 2026 revenue in the range of $1.532 billion to $1.536 billion, compared with analyst estimates of around $1.33 billion. For the full year, Palantir expects revenue between $7.182 billion and $7.198 billion, significantly higher than the $6.28 billion consensus estimate. Management also projected 2026 revenue growth of approximately 61%, underscoring confidence in sustained demand.
Chief Executive Officer Alex Karp attributed the company’s performance to operating leverage driven by advances in artificial intelligence. He noted that U.S. revenue surged 93% year over year during the quarter, while U.S. commercial revenue jumped an impressive 137%. U.S. government revenue also remained strong, increasing 66% from a year earlier.
In the quarter, Palantir closed 180 deals worth at least $1 million, including 61 deals valued at $10 million or more. Despite recent volatility and a year-to-date stock decline of over 16%, Palantir shares have gained more than 75% over the past 12 months, reflecting ongoing investor interest in AI-focused software companies and Palantir’s growing role in commercial, logistics, and defense-related applications.
