Palantir Technologies has reported robust financial results, exceeding expectations with a 39% revenue increase to $884 million and a net income doubling to $214 million for the first quarter of 2025. Despite concerns over potential U.S. defense spending cuts, the company raised its revenue growth forecast to 36%, driven by substantial contracts with government agencies and a 71% surge in commercial revenue. CEO Alex Karp emphasized the rapid adoption of AI technology as a pivotal factor in their growth, as Palantir’s share price recently soared to near-record highs, reflecting strong demand for its AI-powered software.
