Palantir builds software that connects an organization's data with decisions and everyday operations. Its Foundry platform gives businesses a shared view of data, while Gotham supports government and defense teams working with sensitive information. AIP adds language models to these workflows with controls over data access and the actions models perform. Customers pay for software subscriptions and implementation support under contracts that often cover multiple years, using cloud or on-premises deployments for tasks such as managing supply chains and planning missions. Founded in 2003 by Peter Thiel and other cofounders, Palantir is headquartered in Aventura, Florida.

A Motley Fool comparison of Palantir Technologies and SentinelOne favours Palantir as the better 2026 buy, citing its growth and profitability. Palantir's revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 reached nearly $4.5 billion, up about 56.2%. Net income was roughly $1.6 billion, a net margin of nearly 36.3%, and free cash flow was close to $2.1 billion. SentinelOne's revenue for the year ended January 31, 2026 was about $1.0 billion, up nearly 21.9%. It posted a net loss of close to $450.7 million and free cash flow of about $75.9 million. On valuation, Palantir has a forward P/E of 124.0x and a P/S ratio of 74.3x. SentinelOne's figures are 79.9x and 7.9x. The author picks Palantir because it is profitable, accelerating, and deeply embedded with government and enterprise customers.
McCarthy Building Companies says an AI workflow built with Palantir Technologies and Nvidia technology saves about 30,000 work hours a year. The construction company trained Nvidia's Nemotron models on more than 100,000 requests for information, and uses Palantir's tools to flag scheduling or cost risks before requests reach a project site. Other customers report gains too. Tampa General Hospital says a tuned model ran 22 times faster with 7% better performance. Defence contractor L3Harris says early internal tests beat frontier models at lower cost. These results are company-reported and unaudited. Investors are watching closely. Palantir's second-quarter revenue rose 93% to $1.94 billion, and US commercial revenue grew 149% to $764 million. It reports third-quarter results on November 2.
Palantir Technologies is unlikely to announce a stock split soon, according to Motley Fool writer Keith Noonan. The stock trades at roughly $200 per share, a level he says is not yet high enough to prompt one. Palantir has not split its shares in its roughly six-year history as a public company. Noonan says a split becomes much more likely if the price nears $500 and holds firm. The stock has risen roughly 714% over five years, against 70.5% for the S&P 500. Second-quarter sales grew 93% year over year to $1.935 billion, with a non-GAAP adjusted operating margin of 62%.
Palantir reports third-quarter earnings on Monday, November 2, and investors will expect another beat. The stock trades at 120 times forward earnings, so slowing growth could trigger a sell-off. In the second quarter, revenue rose 93% year over year to $1.94 billion, well above the roughly $1.8 billion the company had guided. US commercial revenue grew 149% and US government revenue 90%. Management expects third-quarter revenue of $2.16 billion, an 83% growth rate and a slowdown from Q2. A beat of about $150 million, similar to Q2's, would lift growth to 96%. With its profit margin already at 55%, Palantir must grow revenue to lift earnings.
