When are the Palantir Q3 earnings?
Palantir is due to report on Monday 2 November after the US market close, according to AI Insider’s weekly calendar. The Palantir Q3 earnings report covers the quarter that ended in September 2026. The US close falls late at night in India, so Indian readers will see the numbers on Tuesday morning IST.
Palantir sells data and AI software to governments and large companies. That makes its growth rate a useful sign of how much organisations are really spending on AI, beyond chatbot demos. For an AI company heading to public markets, see our Anthropic IPO explainer.
What analysts expect from Palantir Q3 earnings
Yahoo Finance reports that analysts expect Q3 revenue to rise 85% to $2.18 billion, compared with 93% growth in the previous quarter. Adjusted profit is expected to rise 94% to $0.41 per share. TipRanks puts the EPS growth at 95% and adds that Palantir itself forecast $2.16 billion in Q3 revenue.
| Item | Expectation | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Q3 revenue | About $2.18 billion, up 85% | Yahoo Finance |
| Palantir’s own Q3 revenue forecast | $2.16 billion | TipRanks |
| Adjusted EPS | $0.41, up about 94–95% | Yahoo Finance, TipRanks |
| Previous quarter growth | 93% (revenue $1.94 billion) | AI Insider |
| 2026 revenue growth guidance | About 82% | Investor’s Business Daily |
One computed point: the analyst figure of $2.18 billion is only about $20 million above Palantir’s own forecast of $2.16 billion. That is a gap of under 1%. Palantir has a habit of guiding cautiously, so a beat is the base case. A big beat is what moves the stock.
Why the growth rate matters more than the profit
Palantir revenue growth is at a pace few large software companies reach. The question is not whether it is strong. The question is whether it is slowing. Analysts expect 85% after 93%, so a small slowdown is already priced in.
If the Palantir Q3 earnings show growth near or above 93%, the market may read it as proof that enterprise AI demand is still accelerating. If it falls well under 85%, the story changes to a slowdown. Neither result is certain, and this post does not predict one.
What to watch in the Palantir Q3 earnings report
- Revenue growth: above or below the 85% analysts expect.
- Palantir guidance: does Palantir raise its full-year outlook? Current guidance is about 82% growth for 2026, according to Investor’s Business Daily.
- US commercial business: the fastest-growing part of the company. Some previews cite guidance of at least 134% growth, but that comes from a social-media post, so check Palantir’s release before repeating it.
- Government revenue: steady contracts balance the commercial side.
- Customer count and deal size: shows whether growth is broad or concentrated.
- Profit margin and free cash flow: shows whether growth is being bought at a cost.
Numbers that differ between sources
Preview articles do not always agree. Some independent creators publish their own predictions, such as higher revenue and a bigger guidance raise. Those are opinions, not analyst consensus, and this post does not use them. When Palantir’s release publishes, its own numbers replace every estimate here.
What the Palantir Q3 earnings mean for readers in India
Most Indian readers do not trade Palantir directly. But the Palantir Q3 earnings result still matters: it shows whether big organisations are paying for AI software, which feeds into hiring, IT services demand and AI funding. If you follow US tech stocks, treat this as news, not advice. Askhari is not a financial adviser.
