Software that turns messy data into daily decisions
Palantir Technologies Inc. sells software that helps large organizations connect their scattered data to daily operating decisions and workflows, and link artificial-intelligence tools to those tasks. Two kinds of customers pay for it: government bodies handling defense and intelligence work, and commercial companies in manufacturing, healthcare, telecommunications, and financial services. Palantir earns money when a customer deploys its platform and then widens the use across more users, divisions, data sources, and workflows. In 2025, government customers produced 54% of $4.5 billion in revenue and commercial customers produced 46%, with 74% of the total coming from customers in the United States and 26% from abroad.
