It’s been a busy stretch for Palantir Technologies (PLTR) as the stock market seems to like what it’s seeing. Shares jumped over 8% over the past five trading days, and with Q1 2025 earnings coming tomorrow on Monday, investors are clearly tuning in.
NATO Represents Another Key Win
One of the biggest reasons is a major new deal with NATO that could end up being one of Palantir’s most important wins yet. The company is set to provide its Maven Smart System, a high-powered AI tool designed to help military commanders process battlefield data and make quicker, sharper decisions.
Interestingly, the deal was completed in just six months, a rare pace for a multinational military contract. That tells you two things: NATO sees this tech as urgent, and Palantir has earned some serious trust.
Long List of Clientele
Nevertheless, the NATO contract isn’t the only reason Palantir’s on a tear. The company’s been stacking up partnerships across the board. Since the start of the year, Palantir has signed deals with Everfox to upgrade battlefield command systems with real-time data from sensors; SAUR Group in France, to automate contract and compliance work in water treatment; Parexel, a clinical research firm, to speed up drug development using AI; Archer Aviation (ACHR), where Palantir’s platform will help streamline eVTOL aircraft production, And Databricks, which is assisting Palantir plug into more enterprise data ecosystems.
Each play is pretty different on the surface: military, utilities, healthcare, and aviation. However, there’s a common thread. They all rely on making complex decisions quickly and accurately, and that’s what Palantir’s AI is built for.
Q1 Earnings Are Tomorrow: What to Expect
Now, investors are watching to see if the company can turn this into hard numbers. Wall Street expects big things in Monday’s earnings: a 62% profit increase and 36% revenue growth. Those are big shoes to fill. But with contracts stacking up and confidence building, Palantir seems ready to prove it belongs among the top-tier AI players, not just in defense, but across the board.
Stay tuned. The numbers are coming tomorrow, right after the stock market closes.
