PLTR sits 34% above its 52-week low of $105.32.
Summary
Palantir Technologies reported first-quarter results that significantly surpassed analyst expectations, with net income soaring to $876.4 million from $217.7 million year-over-year, and revenue increasing 85% to $1.63 billion. This strong performance, driven by a 104% increase in US sales, led the company to raise its full-year revenue guidance to between $7.65 billion and $7.66 billion, up from the previous range of $7.18 billion to $7.20 billion. This news builds on the 8-K filed yesterday confirming the Q1 beat and indicates robust demand for Palantir's AI platform across both commercial and government sectors.

Traders will be watching for sustained growth in US commercial revenues and how the company manages elevated market expectations.
