"BigBear.ai thrives on government contracts, cranking out AI-driven decision intelligence for national security, supply chains, and biometrics. Inevitably, it draws parallels to Palantir Technologies ( ), the AI darling that's become synonymous with defense tech wizardry. Both companies feast on Uncle Sam's wallet - PLTR's U.S. government revenue soared 53% last quarter to $426 million, fueled by its versatile Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP). and an ecosystem spanning agencies. It has turned data analytics into actionable gold with seven straight quarters of GAAP profitability."
"BBAI? Not so much. It languishes in the red, posting a staggering $228.6 million net loss in the second quarter alone, taking non-cash hits from derivative liabilities and goodwill impairments. Revenue cratered 18% year-over-year to $32.5 million - widely missing estimates - while gross margins shriveled to 25% from 27.8%. Adjusted EBITDA worsened to losses of $8.5 million. Over three years, annual revenue has inched up just 8.7%."
BigBear.ai experienced a steep stock pullback after recent volatility erased prior gains, leaving the company up 53% year-to-date amid AI hype. The company focuses on government contracts delivering AI-driven decision intelligence for national security, supply chains, and biometrics. Q2 results showed a $228.6 million net loss, an 18% year-over-year revenue decline to $32.5 million, reduced gross margins, and widening adjusted EBITDA losses. Non-cash charges included derivative liabilities and goodwill impairments. Over three years, revenue growth was minimal. Palantir provides a contrasting example with strong government revenue growth, GAAP profitability, and substantial scale.
