Palantir shares jumped 13% in extended trading on Monday after the data analytics software maker reported robust third-quarter results and revenue guidance.

Here's how the company did compared with LSEG consensus estimates:

"We absolutely eviscerated this quarter, driven by unrelenting AI demand that won't slow down," Palantir co-founder and CEO Alex Karp wrote in the company's earnings release.

Palantir's revenue grew 30% year over year in the quarter. Net income of $143.5 million, or 6 cents per share, was up from $71.5 million, or 3 cents per share, in the same quarter a year ago.

Karp called out the adoption of artificial intelligence in the company's U.S. government customer base.

"The growth of our business is accelerating, and our financial performance is exceeding expectations as we meet an unwavering demand for the most advanced artificial intelligence technologies from our U.S. government and commercial customers," Karp said in a letter to shareholders.

With respect to guidance, Palantir called for fourth-quarter revenue of $767 million to $771 million. Analysts surveyed by LSEG had been looking for $741.4 million.

Palantir bumped up its revenue range for all of 2024. It now sees $2.805 billion to $2.809 billion in revenue, compared with $2.742 billion to $2.750 billion in August. The new range implies a 26% growth rate for the year. LSEG's consensus was $2.76 billion. The company is targeting more than $687 million in U.S. commercial revenue for the year, implying about 24% of the total.

"It is the speed with which institutions in the United States, in particular, have adopted our platforms and artificial intelligence capabilities more broadly that has been, and we believe will continue to be, the driver of our growth," Karp wrote in a shareholder letter. "As America once again forges ahead, our allies and partners in Europe are being left behind."

International commercial revenue was down 7% from the second quarter because of challenges in Europe and because of less money coming from a government-sponsored customer in the Middle East, David Glazer, Palantir's finance chief, said on a conference call with analysts.

Palantir aims for $1.054 billion to $1.058 billion in adjusted operating income for the year. That is above the $980.0 million consensus among analysts that StreetAccount polled.

In September, S&P Global announced Palantir would join the S&P 500 stock index.

As of Monday's close, Palantir shares were up 141% in 2024, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq had gained 21%.
