The 2025 Q1 earnings season is slowly grinding to a halt, with the bulk of S&P 500 companies already delivering their quarterly results. The period has so far been primarily positive, although commentary about the upcoming periods amid recent tariff talks has been the driving force behind post-earnings reactions.
Throughout the period so far, several companies – Palantir (PLTR - Free Report) , Cboe Global Markets (CBOE - Free Report) , and Eaton (ETN - Free Report) – posted results that broke records. Let’s take a closer look at each.
Palantir Breaks Records
Palantir continued to fire on all cylinders throughout its latest period, reporting massive growth thanks to continued red-hot demand. Sales shot 39% higher year-over-year, with the company also raising its current year sales outlook in a big way.
As shown below, the company’s sales growth has been outstanding over recent periods, a reflection of the red-hot demand PLTR has been enjoying.

Notably, customer count grew nearly 40% year-over-year and 8% sequentially. Palantir also booked a record U.S. commercial total contract value throughout the period ($810 million), which grew a staggering 180% year-over-year.
Analysts have already revised their current year sales expectations for the stock following the release, with the current $3.9 billion Zacks Consensus estimate up nearly 20% over the last year. The company’s sales are now forecasted to climb 37% year-over-year following the updated guidance, continuing its growth trajectory nicely.
Cboe Raises Guidance
Cboe Global Markets’ results also came in strong, posting record adjusted EPS of $2.37 (up 21% YoY) and record net revenue of $562.5 million (up 13% YoY). And for the cherry on top, CBOE upped its 2025 organic revenue growth guidance, further adding to the positive picture.
CBOE reported record Options net revenue of $352.4 million, up 15% year-over-year. Global FX net revenue of $21.3 million also reflected a fresh record, climbing 16% year-over-year. The company’s top line expectations for its current fiscal year reflect bullishness, as shown below.

The stock now sports a favorable Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), with analysts revising their earnings expectations notably higher across the board following the release. The favorable near-term earnings outlook alludes to continued bullish price action.

ETN has also shown a nice commitment to increasingly rewarding shareholders, sporting a 7% five-year annualized dividend growth rate. As shown in the annual chart below, ETN’s dividend growth has remained strong not just over the last five years, but over the last decade overall.
Please note that the final value in the chart below is tracked on a trailing twelve-month basis, as the company’s current fiscal year hasn’t ended yet.
