Palantir posts record Q3 revenue and raises full‑year outlook amid slowing contract bookings

Palantir Technologies reported third‑quarter revenue of roughly $2.3 billion, a 96% year‑over‑year increase, and adjusted earnings of $0.44 per share. The company lifted its 2026 revenue guidance to about $8.53 billion and forecast fourth‑quarter revenue of $2.65 billion. However, total contract value grew only 6% YoY, and U.S. commercial contract growth slowed sharply, raising concerns about future pipeline strength.

The company’s raised guidance suggests higher top‑line expectations for the year. The slowdown in new contract bookings could limit future revenue growth if the pipeline does not replenish.
