Palantir Technologies (PLTR)
The AI operating system for governments and enterprises.
The AI Angle
Palantir builds software that integrates AI into the operational workflows of governments and large enterprises. Its flagship AIP (Artificial Intelligence Platform) allows organizations to connect proprietary data to large language models and AI agents — enabling use cases from battlefield targeting (Project Maven, Pentagon) to supply chain optimization and financial fraud detection.
The US government has leaned heavily into Palantir's AI capabilities, with US government revenue jumping 66% year-over-year in Q4 2025. The company's US commercial business — selling AIP to enterprises — is growing even faster: 100%+ year-over-year. For 2026, Palantir guided to $7.18–7.20 billion in revenue, representing 61% growth and well above analyst consensus of $6.22 billion.

Upcoming Catalysts
- AIP enterprise adoption accelerating: 100%+ US commercial growth continuing

Key Risks

- Government contract concentration: large single contracts can distort revenue timing
- Anthropic sued the Pentagon over AI use restrictions (Mar 2026) — could signal sector headwinds
- AIP faces competition from Microsoft Copilot, Salesforce Einstein, and cloud-native AI tools
