The main point. In the US, commercial revenue grew 148% in a year to $984 million. Government revenue grew 96% to $953 million. Commercial revenue passed government revenue for the first time. CNBC reports it has more than quintupled in two years.

For Q4 it expects revenue of $2.649 billion to $2.653 billion. These are the company's own expectations, and they may not come true.

Why it matters to you. If you follow Palantir stock or AI companies in general, this report shows where the growth comes from. Now US business customers bring in more revenue than the US government. But one quarter is not a trend, and a share price depends on more than earnings reports.
What to check. Compare the numbers in the release with what the media write. Remember this is one company, not the whole industry. This is an overview, not advice.
