My Palantir Thesis is (finally) playing out
Disclosure: shareholder since 2021.
holy cow this business is accelerating!

But here's a tl;ldr... specifically around the things I've been watching for
Customer count grew 43% YOY
Us revenue is up 52% YOY (36% total revenue)
My thesis (back in 2021-- before flank could capture it :( ) was that their ontological approach to AI was the right approach, and no one else was taking it back then. I thought that as soon as commercial started to take off, the business would grow wonderfully.
There was a bit of a dark period, but we're finally seeing it play out.
Now, the business has wonderful margins and is continuing to accelerate in the commercial space. Valuation certainly is a problem at 500 (!!!) x earnings. I wouldn't buy in at this point, but I am happy to see the gains continue, and don't plan on selling.
# Future Growth:
45% commercial / 55% gov't revenue split.. I expect commercial to supercede this year
I expect a 30%+ increase in YOY revenue growth with steady or improving gross margins for foreseeable quarters. Should that begin to change, I'll take my chips off the table.
