With a gamble on "unlike anything we have seen" demand in its new artificial intelligence platform, Palantir Technologies announced that it anticipates making money every quarter in 2023. This news sent its shares up about 20% in extended trading.
The new generative AI platform, which uses the same technology as ChatGPT, was introduced two weeks ago.
The developer of data analytics software, well-known for its collaboration with the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, outperformed forecasts for first-quarter revenue and profit on larger projects for current business and governmental customers.
"Investors will be pleased not only with the better-than-expected results for the quarter, but also the guidance for profitability as well as the recent AI initiatives," said D.A. Davidson & Co analyst Gil Luria.
According to Palantir CEO Alexander Karp, the initial version of the AI platform will be made accessible to some customers this month. He also mentioned that the new service can help militaries target enemies.
According to Chief Revenue Officer Ryan Taylor of Reuters, the clients include "one of the largest insurance companies in the world" as well as supply chain and security clients.
Revenue for Palantir's first quarter increased 18% to $525.2 million, while adjusted profit came in at 5 cents per share, both of which were more than expected.
According to RBC Capital Markets analyst Rishi Jaluria, the commercial revenue increase of 26%—which was higher than anticipated—was the primary factor in the first quarter's success.
According to Palantir's finance chief David Glazer, the company is continuing to cut back on cloud spending and investing in priority areas like AI. It said in February that it will reduce its employment by 2%.
It continues to be optimistic about the market for its products in the US, but faces difficulties abroad, according to Taylor, who omitted further details.
In contrast to projections of $536.2 million, the company projected second-quarter revenue of $528 million to $532 million. However, its revenue projection for the entire year was basically in line with expectations.
