Palantir Technologies Inc. reported fiscal 2025 fourth‑quarter revenue of $1.41 billion, a 70% year‑over‑year increase that topped consensus estimates of $1.33 billion. Adjusted earnings per share rose to $0.25, beating the $0.23 consensus by $0.02, or 8.7%. The company’s Rule of 40 score reached 127%, reflecting a 70% revenue growth combined with a 57% adjusted operating margin.
U.S. commercial revenue surged 137% to $507 million, while U.S. government revenue grew 66% to $570 million, underscoring robust demand across both segments. International revenue expanded 22.5% year‑over‑year, and the company’s overall operating margin climbed to 57% from 51% in Q3 2025 and 45% in Q4 2024, driven by a higher mix of high‑margin AI‑platform contracts and improved operational leverage.
Management raised its 2026 outlook, projecting first‑quarter revenue of $1.53 billion and full‑year revenue of $7.18‑$7.20 billion—an increase from the prior guidance range of $6.9‑$7.0 billion. The upgrade signals confidence in the continued acceleration of its AI‑driven platform and a deepening commercial pipeline.
CEO Alex Karp highlighted that the quarter’s results were “extraordinary because they are fully organic,” emphasizing the company’s focus on scaling AI leverage. CFO Dave Glazer noted that the quarter marked the highest reported revenue growth rate for a public company and exceeded prior guidance by over 900 basis points. CRO Ryan Taylor praised the U.S. commercial segment’s “defiance of conventional enterprise software dynamics.”
Palantir’s cash position remains strong, with $7.2 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and short‑term U.S. Treasury securities and no debt, providing flexibility for future investments in AI and commercial expansion. The company’s Rule of 40 score and margin expansion position it well against competitors, while the continued growth in U.S. commercial revenue signals a broadening addressable market beyond government contracts. Headwinds such as market saturation in AI and macroeconomic uncertainty are acknowledged, but the company’s strong demand and pricing power suggest resilience in the near term.
