Palantir Technologies (PLTR.US) stock launched today’s session sharply higher after the software company announced that it won an $823 million Army contract to provide its Gotham platform, an operating system designed to optimize defense decision-making. “This capability will field modern data integration, correlation, fusion, and analytic capabilities that prepare the Army for the next fight against emerging near peer threats,” Palantir said in a release.
This is important news for Palantir, which has never reported an annual profit in the 17 years since it was founded as company revenues are largely dependent on contracts with government agencies. However despite the poor financial results, companies’ shares jumped 163% since the company went public over a year ago.
