Its key products - Gotham, Foundry, Apollo, and the Artificial Intelligence Platform, support data integration, analysis, and operational decision-making across industries and national security sectors.
Shares of the Denver, Colorado-based company have significantly outperformed the broader market over the past 52 weeks. PLTR stock has surged 501.5% over this time frame, while the broader S&P 500 Index ($SPX) has gained 17.4%.

Despite beating Q1 2025 revenue expectations with $883.9 million on May 5, Palantir's shares tumbled 12.1% the next day due to a 10% year-over-year decline in global sales, raising concerns about the sustainability of its international growth. While U.S. sales surged 55% and the company raised its full-year forecast, investors were spooked by signs of weakening demand outside the U.S.
For the current fiscal year, ending in December 2025, analysts expect PLTR's EPS to grow 362.5% year-over-year to $0.37. The company's earnings surprise history is mixed. It beat the consensus estimates in one of the last four quarters while missing on three other occasions.
