Palantir CEO Alex Karp just had an all timer quote on CNBC:

“Tell the haters, read ’em and weep.”

Karp loves trash talking and is clearly enjoying the massive beat this quarter.

And Palantir shares are up 4%. It’s another stellar quarter and shares are continuing to soar despite critics saying the stock is priced at unrealistic levels.

Massive revenue beat by Palantir.

Wall Street expected $939 million in revenue and the company delivered more than a billion. EPS of $.16 (adjusted) is a beat versus $.14.

We’ll see how shares react.

We are just minutes from Palantir reporting earnings. As a reminder, here’s what they guided to for this quarter and the full year:

• Revenue of between $934 – $938 million.
• Adjusted income from operations of between $401 – $405 million.

For full year 2025:

• We are raising our revenue guidance to between $3.890 – $3.902 billion.
• We are raising our U.S. commercial revenue guidance to in excess of $1.178 billion, representing a growth rate of at least 68%.
• We are raising our adjusted income from operations guidance to between $1.711 – $1.723 billion.
• We are raising our adjusted free cash flow guidance to between $1.6 – $1.8 billion.
• And we continue to expect GAAP operating income and net income in each quarter of this year.

Wall Street expects Plantir to deliver $939.5 million in revenue, which is above the high end of their guidance. 

Raised FY25 revenue and operating income guidance
Palantir guided full-year revenue to $3.903B–$3.909B (up from $3.99B midpoint previously) and adjusted operating income to ~$1.7B, lifting its Rule of 40 target to 80. The tone of the raise was confident — not cautious.

U.S. commercial TCV more than tripled YoY
$810M in U.S. commercial bookings (+239% YoY) reflects breakout demand for AIP pilots scaling into multi-year contracts. Management emphasized customer urgency and cross-industry pull.

International commercial revenue declined YoY
Despite global AI tailwinds, non-U.S. commercial revenue fell 5% YoY. Management cited mixed execution and macro softness — a clear divergence from domestic growth.

Cloud ARR and net revenue retention remain strong
Cloud ARR exceeded $713M (+46% YoY), and retention topped 120%, underscoring deepening usage among existing customers.

AIP agents emphasized over copilots
CTO Shyam Sankar reframed the AI product narrative from copilots to “agents that make you 50x more productive.” This signals a focus on autonomous workflows, not just decision support.

Broader visibility from customer earnings calls
Palantir cited direct mentions from customers like Walgreens, AIG, BP, and Citi during their own earnings — reflecting deeper strategic integration.

Stock sold off after Q1 despite in-line results
PLTR shares fell ~12% post-Q1, reflecting high expectations and a flat EPS guide. Market reaction suggests a higher bar for narrative and forward metrics this quarter.
