The company raised its revenue forecast for the entire year and exceeded market expectations with its prediction for the current quarter. Palantir specializes in analyzing large data sets and provides software for intelligence and military information analysis.
The recent growth primarily stems from US business, with domestic sales being over twice as high as the previous year, amounting to $1.57 billion. Government agency sales grew by 90 percent to $809 million. Palantir's software is also used by the Homeland Security Department and the Pentagon, reportedly in the ongoing conflict in Iran.
