On August 4, Palantir Technologies Inc. rose 6.76% in after-hours trading, trading at $136.08/share, with turnover of $302 million. The move was driven by a partnership announcement with Mercury Systems and heightened attention around the company's Q2 earnings release window.
Mercury Systems announced a collaboration agreement with Palantir to leverage Palantir's software platform for enhancing material planning and factory operations automation, aimed at accelerating U.S. military project delivery. The agreement will deploy Palantir's software across two initial workflows to streamline planning, reduce manual workloads, and boost factory capacity without extending delivery timelines or increasing costs. Mercury CEO Bill Ballhaus stated the partnership will further automate supply chain and manufacturing operations critical to delivering high-demand capabilities to warfighters.
Additionally, the session coincided with Palantir's Q2 earnings disclosure window. Wall Street consensus had projected Q2 revenue of approximately $1.81 billion, representing year-over-year growth of 81%-92%, with adjusted EPS estimates of $0.28-$0.35, up over 150% year-over-year. Oppenheimer had previously maintained a $200 price target, expecting revenue growth of approximately 85% and an upward revision to full-year guidance.
