Palantir, a data analytics company, exceeded Wall Street expectations in its latest financial results, reporting $1.41 billion in revenue for the fourth quarter of 2025, a 70% increase year-over-year. The company's success is partly attributed to lucrative government contracts, particularly with the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security, totaling $570 million in revenue, amid the Trump administration's immigration policies. Palantir's technology is used for surveillance and analytics by government agencies and private companies. CEO Alex Karp defended the company's work with government agencies, claiming it aligns with data protection laws. Despite criticism from data privacy advocates, Palantir's stock price rose following the announcement of its financial performance.
