Palantir Technology Just achieved a milestone The first $100 million quarter everThis is driven by an out-of-control boom in artificial intelligence, which is now fundamentally changing how companies operate and how many employees it believes it needs.
The software and data analytics giant reported revenue in the latest quarter was $1 billion, up 48% year-on-year as it significantly surpassed Wall Street estimates and posted trends in commercial and government contracts. U.S. revenue alone jumped 68% to $733 million, and domestic commercial sales soared 93%.
