Nvidia and Palantir: Leaders in AI Hardware and Software
Nvidia and Palantir are two companies that have been at the forefront of the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution. Nvidia's recent results suggest that the fast-growing demand for AI hardware continues to be a key growth driver for the company. The company's revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 increased a terrific 78% year over year to a record $39.3 billion. Adjusted earnings also increased by an impressive 71% to $0.89 per share. Both numbers were ahead of Wall Street's expectations.
Palantir Technologies, on the other hand, is one of the leading vendors of AI software platforms. The company's revenue growth accelerated to 29% in 2024 from a 17% increase witnessed in 2023. Palantir's top line came in at just under $2.9 billion last year, and the company still has a lot of room for growth in the future.
