The company sees revenue between $3.74 billion and $3.76 billion for the full year 2025. This is greater than the analysts’ average estimate of $3.52 billion.

He says that Palantir’s AI platform has improved the efficiency of most sectors significantly, which led to the company’s impressive performance in its recent quarterly reporting.
The bullish stock and positive outlook have instilled the confidence of investors in the company since it has really experienced a huge rise in its stock price. Currently, at the latest trade, Palantir’s stock is valued at $83.74, which is 1.39% higher than the previous close.
In addition to its financial achievements, Palantir has advised its clients against using AI models from Chinese startup DeepSeek due to national security concerns raised by U.S. officials and bans from federal agencies like NASA. Despite these concerns, Palantir’s outlook remains strong, with the company benefiting from the push to develop generative AI technology.
In all, Palantir’s strong earnings, positive revenue guidance, and strategic emphasis on AI developments have been behind the recent stock rally, putting the company on a growth trajectory in the future tech landscape.
