Palantir Reports Strong Q3 Revenue Growth, Raises 2026 Guidance, Driven by AI

Palantir announced its third-quarter earnings, reporting a significant revenue increase, with its U.S. commercial sector surpassing government revenue for the first time. The company attributed this growth, which reached a "highest-ever" rate of 96%, largely to its artificial intelligence platforms. Following these results, Palantir raised its 2026 revenue guidance to between $8.530 billion and $8.534 billion, and provided a Q4 revenue forecast of $2.649 billion to $2.653 billion. Despite what many outlets described as a "bombastic" or "best growth quarter ever," the company's stock price declined. The central claims regarding revenue figures and guidance originate from Palantir's official earnings report.
