This comparison looks at revenue over the last eight quarters for Figma (FIG) and Palantir Technologies (PLTR), using data as of Oct. 22, 2026. Figma, a browser-based design platform, recently launched several AI design features and disclosed that its CEO voluntarily forfeited $46 million in stock awards. Its second-quarter sales of $370.1 million rose 48% year over year, partly due to AI credit monetization, with Q2 being the first full quarter of that revenue stream. Palantir's revenue is considerably larger and has increased every quarter, with the company forecasting third-quarter revenue of around $2.2 billion; it has also secured a U.S. Army ground station production contract and a collaboration with NVIDIA. Figma is scheduled to report third-quarter earnings on Nov. 4.

- Palantir Guided for $2.16 Billion in Revenue for Q3. Its Last 2 Quarters Suggest We Should Expect More.
Palantir (PLTR) guided for third-quarter revenue of $2.160 billion to $2.164 billion, but the author considers that forecast conservative given its first-half results. In the first and second quarters, revenue beat the midpoint of guidance by about 6.4% and 7.5%, with second-quarter revenue reaching $1.935 billion, up 93% year over year. U.S. commercial revenue rose 149% to $764 million in the second quarter, and total contract value reached $3.37 billion. If sequential growth matches the 19% of the second quarter, third-quarter revenue would be about $2.3 billion, and the author will be watching whether it exceeds that level.
- Prediction: Palantir Stock Will Skyrocket After Nov. 2
Palantir shares have risen 62% over the past three months amid renewed confidence in software stocks, ahead of third-quarter results due after the close on Nov. 2. The company has beaten earnings expectations in each of the past four quarters, with Q2 revenue up 93% year over year to $1.93 billion and adjusted operating margin of 62%, versus 46% a year earlier. Consensus expects EPS of $0.46 for the current quarter, a potential 84% increase over last year. The stock trades at 181 times earnings versus 41 for the Nasdaq Composite, but the author argues strong earnings growth could justify the valuation, citing a PEG ratio of 0.63 according to Morningstar. The author suggests a better-than-expected report and guidance could lift the stock after Nov. 2.
- Palantir Stock Is Near Its Record. Here's the Price at Which I'd Buy It.
Palantir (PLTR) closed at $209.05 on October 9, its highest ever, and trades near $198 now, about 5% below that peak. Second-quarter earnings per share rose from $0.13 to $0.41, bringing trailing four-quarter EPS to $1.17, so the current price equals about 170 times that figure. The author argues that the roughly 120 times earnings investors accepted in June, when shares were near $107, applied to $1.17 implies about $140 a share, roughly 29% below today's price. Continued earnings growth could bring the price down to that level sooner, and the author says he would consider buying around $140, while Palantir guided for third-quarter adjusted operating income of about $1.29 billion.

- Palantir Rises 4% as Software Stocks Rally; ServiceNow Gains 3%, Salesforce Holds Flat
Palantir shares rose 4% to $199.41 in afternoon trading, leading a broad software rally as buyers favored AI platform names. The iShares Expanded Tech-Software ETF gained 2% to $108.98 and the Invesco QQQ Trust rose 1.3% to $726.83, while ServiceNow climbed 3% to $153.33 and Salesforce slipped 0.2% to $242.07. On October 19, Knox Systems announced a partnership with Palantir to bring commercial software into the federal government's most tightly secured cloud environments, but neither company disclosed financial terms, and the article says it is unclear whether this news is behind the stock's gain. The article also points to Palantir's steep valuation as a source of doubt about the rally's staying power, and says the third-quarter 2026 report will test whether its government growth holds up.

- NVDA Stock Drops: Nvidia May Back Data Center Loan Its Own Customer, Analyst Sees Little Impact From Intel’s Weak Report
Nvidia shares fell 2% in overnight trading amid a broad selloff in AI infrastructure stocks, following mixed reports from Intel and Amazon.

- US Economy Sets Unprecedented Record in 80 Years
US debt held by the public reached USD 32,200 billion at the end of September, equal to 100.03% of GDP in fiscal 2026, the first time the ratio has reached 100% at the end of a fiscal year since 1946. The ratio rose from 99.4% in fiscal 2025 but stayed below the 100.6% forecast by the CBO. The federal budget deficit in fiscal 2026 approached USD 2,000 billion, or 6.2% of GDP, even though the economy was not in a severe recession or crisis. The CBO projects net interest costs will rise by more than one percentage point of GDP over the next decade, and a rate 0.1 percentage points higher would add USD 379 billion in interest over 10 years. The Social Security trust fund is projected to run out of reserves in 2032, and CBO Director Phillip Swagel said deep political divisions are the biggest obstacle to agreement on raising revenue or controlling spending.
