Palantir Technologies: Beyond Government Contracts

Palantir Technologies (PLTR) |

By Mike Hernandez

Palantir has expanded its business beyond just government contracts, with its U.S. commercial business growing significantly in the second quarter.

The company's U.S. commercial business revenue increased by 93% year over year, reaching $306 million in the second quarter.

Diversification of Revenue Streams

Palantir has shown growth potential in the private sector, particularly in the mainstream enterprise AI space, through its U.S. commercial business.

Stock Performance

Palantir's stock has surged over 120% year to date and more than 378% in the past 12 months, attracting significant attention from investors.

  • Palantir's revenue diversification beyond government contracts indicates its ability to compete in the private sector and scale in the enterprise AI space.
  • Investors are cautious about Palantir's high valuation, trading close to 267 times its forward earnings, which may lead to a sharp pullback if expectations are not met.

While Palantir's expansion into the commercial sector is promising, potential investors should carefully evaluate its valuation and growth prospects before making investment decisions.
