Will Top-Line Improvement Benefit Palantir in Q2 Earnings?

Palantir Technologies Inc. PLTR will report its second-quarter 2025  results on Aug. 4, after the bell.

We expect a significant year-over-year improvement in the company’s top line in the to-be-reported quarter, driven by healthy business from both existing and new customers, strengthening both the Government and Commercial segments. The current Zacks Consensus Estimate for total revenues stands at $938.3 million, indicating 36% growth from the year-ago reported quarter.

According to the consensus estimate, government revenues are projected to be $510.5 million, representing a 37.7% year-over-year increase. The consensus mark for Commercial revenues is pegged at $429.3 million, indicating 39.7% year-over-year growth. Revenues are likely to have benefited from the increased adoption of products and services through new as well as existing customers.

The backbone of Palantir’s business is its Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP), which is rapidly transforming into the company’s biggest commercial catalyst. At its core, AIP enables organizations to embed autonomous AI agents across workflows, shrinking decision timelines and scaling productivity by multiples, not mere percentages. While competitors focus on AI model development, PLTR is winning on deployment, offering turnkey, enterprise-ready solutions that drive real results from day one. The U.S. commercial business has now become Palantir’s most dynamic revenue driver, and AIP is the key accelerant.

PLTR currently carries a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell).
