Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR - Free Report) will report second-quarter 2021 results on Aug 12.
The company’s top line is expected to have performed well in the quarter, driven by increased scale and efficiency of its three-phase business model that engages acquire-phase, expand-phase and scale-phase customers. Both government and commercial segments are anticipated to do well, driven by these strengths.
Palantir’s acquire-phase customers generate less than $100,000 a year. Expand-phase customers generate greater than $100,000 a year with negative contribution margins, and require significant investments from the company for scaling themselves up and growing revenues. Customers in scale phase generate greater than $100,000 a year, along with positive contribution margins.
In the to-be-reported quarter, we expect Palantir to have seen revenue growth through the addition of new acquire-phase customers. Expand-phase revenues are expected to have benefited from increased adoption of software, while increased contributions from existing customers are likely to have helped the scale phase.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $360.6 million, indicating 5.9% sequential growth.
Palantir currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
