To realize a greater understanding of Palantir’s earnings report, we contacted Brian Mulberry, senior portfolio supervisor at Zacks Funding Administration.

The gross sales strains are approaching parity, and which means Palantir is turning into much less reliant on authorities contracts alone for income progress.
