Palantir Q2 Earnings Preview: Why August 4 Could Signal Major Moves 🚀

Palantir (NASDAQ: PLTR) is about to report earnings — and I believe this could be the most important one yet. In this video, I’ll break down the real story behind the hype and explain what retail investors like you absolutely need to watch for on August 4, 2025.

I’ve been trading since 1999, and I’ve seen what happens when expectations collide with sky-high valuations. So let’s look beyond the headlines and find out what’s really driving Palantir’s momentum — and what could derail it.

Here’s what I’ll cover:
The key financial targets Palantir must hit to keep soaring
Whether AI and government contracts can sustain this rally
Why the U.S. commercial segment is make-or-break
What analysts are missing that could send the stock higher
Critical risks that could trigger a pullback

I’ll also dive into the company’s latest AIP bootcamp impact, Accenture partnership, and give you my personal targets for revenue, margins, and guidance.
