Palantir (PLTR) to Post Q3 Earnings: What's in the Cards?

Read MoreHide Full Article

Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR - Free Report) is slated to report its third-quarter 2022 results on Nov 7, before the bell.

The company’s earnings surprise history has not been impressive. Earnings lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters and beat once, delivering a negative earnings surprise of 50% on average.

Q3 Expectations

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $474.6 million, indicating 21% year-over-year growth. The top line is expected to have benefited from strength in both the government and commercial segments. Both segments are likely to have benefited from increased contributions from existing, as well as new customers.

The consensus mark for earnings is pegged at 0.02 cents per share, indicating a year-over-year decline of 50%. An increase in expenses due to continued investments across the business is likely to have weighed on the bottom line in the quarter.
