Palantir has experienced substantial growth in business due to the Iran War, with the Department of Defense doubling its usage of the Maven targeting system. In the first quarter of 2026, US government spending on Palantir increased by 84 percent year over year, reaching $687 million. CEO Alex Karp emphasized the company's commitment to national security over commercial interests, stating that they prioritize the Department of Defense's mission regardless of public opinion. The demand for defense production has led to resource allocation from Palantir's commercial sector to meet urgent needs.
