Moneyta sentiment
Where the published evidence leans after the desk debated it — not a rating or a recommendation.
−0.4 on a −2 to +2 scale — was −0.3 before the debate changed the read.
What builds the score
Solid bars are analyst rubric scores; faded bars are computed directly from data. Claims dropped in debate count for nothing; weakened claims count at half weight.
Editor's note
Written after the debate settled — the rest of the page is the evidence behind it.
Revenue rose from $ 883,855,000 in fiscal Q1 2025 (fiscal quarter ended 2025-03-31) to $ 1,632,583,000 in fiscal Q1 2026 (fiscal quarter ended 2026-03-31) and then to $ 1,935,464,000 in Q2 2026 (fiscal quarter ended 2026-06-30). Gross profit margins moved higher, roughly 80.5% in fiscal Q1 2025, about 86.8% in fiscal Q1 2026 and about 84.7% in Q2 2026, while net income advanced materially from $ 214,031,000 in fiscal Q1 2025 to $ 1,061,890,000 in Q2 2026. Diluted EPS rose from $ 0.08 in fiscal Q1 2025 to $ 0.41 in Q2 2026.
Balance‑sheet liquidity and equity strengthened over the window — cash and cash equivalents increased from $ 2,098,524,000 as of FY 2024 (fiscal quarter ended 2024-12-31) to $ 2,290,637,000 as of 2026-06-30, and stockholders' equity rose from $ 5,003,275,000 as of FY 2024 to $ 9,774,194,000 as of 2026-06-30 — while total liabilities also increased from $ 1,246,477,000 to $ 1,793,680,000. Market signals are mixed: six‑month momentum is +36.8% (89th percentile) but 12‑1 momentum is −22.1% (17th percentile); short‑term volatility is elevated (30‑day annualized +100.8%), beta vs SPY is 1.93 with correlation 0.41, and trailing P/E is 175.41 on EPS ttm of $ 1.06. The evidence balance is Mixed (−0.4 of a possible +2; was −0.3 before debate) with high confidence.
How this note was made
every stage ran before the note was writtenAnalyst desk
Mercer, Oakes, Nash, Ellis, Yates, Talbot and Archer. The desk: named AI agents, not people. Each reads one slice of the evidence and nothing else — no outside knowledge, no browsing — so every finding traces to a source you can open.

Which filings the desk reads
The desk reads the annual 10-K in full — its risk factors, and how they changed since last year. Quarterly 10-Qs and event filings (8-Ks, insider Form 4s) are listed for context but not read line by line: the 10-K is where the material risk disclosures live. A brand-new company, or one we have only just begun tracking, may have no annual report on file yet — its risk analysis fills in once that lands.
The 2025 Form 10-K (filed 17 Feb 2026) added a specific risk that "our reputation and business may be harmed by news or social media coverage or other external scrutiny of Palantir or our leadership."
10-K filed 2026-02-17The 2025 Form 10-K (filed 17 Feb 2026) added a specific risk noting "there may be a decline in the U.S. and other government budgets, changes in spending or budgetary priorities, or delays in contract awards," and separately emphasizes that because Palantir generates a substantial portion of revenue from government contracts, government budgetary uncertainty could adversely affect results.

A bull and a bear contest the claims and the chair rules on each; the risk review stress-tests what survived.
A bull and a bear argue the analysts' claims across two rounds, then a chair rules on each one. Only what survives feeds the score — the argument is shown, not hidden, so you can judge the reasoning yourself.
The evidence set contains multiple strong, company-specific SEC disclosures showing material top-line and bottom-line expansion: sequential quarterly revenue growth (fundamentals-0) accompanied by sizable net income and diluted EPS improvement (fundamentals-2, fundamentals-3) and modest gross margin expansion (fundamentals-1). These financials are reported in recent Forms 10-Q/10-K filings and the quarter-ended 2026-06-30 materials (filings-4), which strengthens the reliability of the operating performance claims. Market and ownership signals add context consistent with institutional and analyst interest—above-median 6-month momentum (market-0), price trading materially above moving averages (market-3), large aggregated institutional holdings and prominent buy-side names in 13F (ownership-0, ownership-1), and multiple buy/maintain analyst actions in the street consensus. Taken together, the strongest, most directly sourced claims (SEC financials, 13F, and recent analyst actions) jointly support a favorable read on the company’s recent operating and market positioning, while headline concerns cited elsewhere warrant monitoring but do not negate the directly reported financial improvements.

Fragility · computed, not argued
balanced0.34
36 surviving claims rest on 16 distinct sources; the heaviest analyst carries 17% of them, and 96% of what the desk raised survived the debate.
The evidence set rests on a modest number of distinct sources relative to the surviving claims, and a single analyst does not dominate the read; however, a high debate-survival rate (96%) means the desk’s conclusions were little-challenged in review, which can amplify shared assumptions. Source concentration and the survival pattern imply the read is informationally coherent but somewhat brittle to a small number of new, high‑quality disconfirming documents or market moves.

Analyst consensus
Third-party consensus, shown for context only — it never enters Moneyta sentiment.
Read means we pulled and handed it to an analyst; cited means a claim on this page points at it. Reading twelve quarters to state one trend is normal — the gap is shown rather than hidden.
Written by AI, checked against sources
The analysts, the bull–bear debate and the editor's note are AI agents reading only the evidence listed on this page. They can misread a filing or a headline, which is why every claim cites a source you can open and check yourself. The sentiment score is arithmetic over the claims that survived the debate, not a language model's opinion.
