Palantir Q1 Revenue Jumps 85% YoY as AIP Platform Wins Expand Across Government and Commercial

Palantir delivered accelerating growth in FY2026 Q1, with revenue up 85% year-over-year to $1.63 billion, topping consensus estimates of $1.54 billion by 5.9%. EPS of $0.33 exceeded the $0.28 consensus by 19%. The AIP platform is now the central growth engine, winning contracts across defense (USDA, Maven, Navy Ship OS) and commercial (GE Aerospace, Motor, Freedom Mortgage). Despite the beat, shares fell 7.7% on an abnormal basis in the next session, partially recovering with 4.6% subsequent drift. The stock trades at $131.53 versus a consensus analyst target of $185.36, suggesting meaningful upside remains priced in by the Street even after the post-earnings pullback.

Net dollar retention climbed from 139% to 150%. The Rule of 40 score rose from 127 to 145, the highest in the company's history. Management raised full-year FY2026 revenue guidance from $7.19 billion to $7.65–$7.662 billion, increasing the implied growth rate from 61% to 71% YoY. Cash from operations reached $899 million. A USDA contract of up to $300 million for agriculture security and supply-chain resilience was a notable new win. Management described AI models identifying thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities as a 'Sputnik moment' in the AI arms race.

Methodology

Reported and consensus figures come from FN2's earnings event records. Market reaction and volume are calculated from daily adjusted bars around the event; abnormal move subtracts the SPY move over the same window.

Analyst target low, average, and high values are derived at request time from each named analyst's latest persisted FMP target. The current-price marker comes from FN2's persisted market snapshot. They are sell-side estimates, not an FN2 valuation or recommendation.

Transcript intelligence is a structured synthesis of the current and prior earnings-call analyses. Missing values stay missing and are never estimated.
