Palantir公司近期业绩表现强劲,营收和利润均实现大幅增长,并上调了全年营收预期。公司联合创始人Peter Thiel和CEO Alex Karp的净资产已分别突破250亿美元和150亿美元。首席技术官Shyam Sankar也成功跨越10亿美元净资产门槛。在其他科技公司表现低迷的背景下,Palantir凭借与美国政府的紧密合作和在AI领域的持续投入,实现了显著的增长,并赢得了新的大型合同。公司CEO Alex Karp强调了其扁平化管理和高效运营的优势,并计划在未来实现营收翻倍但员工数量减少的目标。

💰 **财富增长与高管晋升**:Palantir的联合创始人Peter Thiel净资产已超过250亿美元,CEO Alex Karp净资产也超过150亿美元。首席技术官Shyam Sankar近期也晋升为亿万富翁,净资产超过13亿美元。这表明公司业绩的增长直接转化为高管和早期投资者的巨额财富。

📈 **强劲的财务表现**:Palantir最新季度报告显示,营收达到10亿美元,同比增长48%,利润增长33%至3.27亿美元。公司还将全年营收预期上调至至少41.4亿美元,显示出强劲的增长势头和对未来发展的信心。

🤝 **政府合同与市场优势**:在联邦合同领域,Palantir表现突出,美国政府业务收入同比增长53%,并赢得了一份价值100亿美元的陆军软件和数据合同。这在其他竞争对手如Accenture、Booz Allen和Deloitte面临政府削减开支的背景下尤为可贵。

💡 **AI驱动的效率提升**:Palantir积极拥抱人工智能技术,计划在提高营收的同时减少员工数量,实现“10倍营收、3600人”的目标,这体现了AI在提升企业运营效率和盈利能力方面的巨大潜力。

For Palantir’s investors and cofounders, this surge has translated to wealth racking up by the billions. Cofounder Peter Thiel’s net worth has jumped to over $25 billion—up $9 billion since January—and Palantir CEO Alex Karp’s has surged to more than $15 billion (up $8 billion YTD), according to Bloomberg’s Billionaire Index. Cofounders Stephen Cohen and Joe Lonsdale are also long-time members of the ultra-rich club.

Now, the financial wins are extending beyond the company’s founders. Chief technology officer Shyam Sankar became its latest exec to cross the billion-dollar mark on Monday, with his net worth climbing past $1.3 billion.

Later that day, the company reported a record-setting $1 billion in revenue for its most recent quarter, up 48% year-over-year. Profit also soared by 33% to $327 million, prompting the company to increase its full-year revenue outlook to at least $4.14 billion.

The company’s successes have been 20 years in the making, Sankar said on Monday’s earnings call.

Fortune reached out to Palantir for comment.

Other companies’ losses are Palantir’s gains

Palantir’s stock growth is likely welcomed news for investors who have been unsatisfied with the performance of other tech companies like Tesla, Apple, and Amazon, which are all in the red this year.

Competitors in the federal contracting space have also struggled, with firms like Accenture, Booz Allen and Deloitte losing key government contracts amid Department of Government Efficiency cuts. However, Palantir has largely gained, with earnings from the U.S. government growing by 53% year-over-year. Just last week, the company landed a $10 billion software and data contract with the Army.

And while Palantir’s partnerships with the federal government have raised eyebrows considering Thiel’s close relationship with the Trump administration, the company is only moving full speed ahead.

“There are almost no parasitic elements to this company,” Karp said in the earnings call on Monday. “We have a small sales force. We have very little BS internally. We have a flat hierarchy. We have the most qualified and interesting people, heterodox in their beliefs.”

A continued embrace of AI is also making it easier for companies like Palantir to do more with less workers.

“We’re planning to grow our revenue … while decreasing our number of people,” Karp told CNBC. “This is a crazy, efficient revolution. The goal is to get 10x revenue and have 3,600 people. We have now 4,100.” 

Like Palantir, Nvidia is a billionaire-producing machine

Like Palantir this year, Nvidia’s stock skyrocketed in 2024—with gains topped 170%. And as each company continues to grow, they’re both on the billionaire-producing track.

On top of CEO Jensen Huang’s own $155 billion, his chief financial officer Colette Kress and EVP Jay Puri joined the billionaire’s club late last month.

“I’ve created more billionaires on my management team than any CEO in the world,” Huang said recently during a panel hosted by venture capitalists running the All-In podcast. “They’re doing just fine.”

Nvidia has about 42,000 and a market cap of about $4.3 trillion, about 10x that of Palantir.

“Don’t feel sad for anybody at my layer,” Huang said. “My layer is doing just fine.”
