Core Viewpoint - Palantir's first-quarter performance significantly exceeded expectations, with a revenue of $884 million, a 39% increase from $634.3 million in the same period last year, and the company raised its full-year guidance despite facing short-term stock price pressure due to high valuation [3][4][5].

Palantir于美东时间5月5日盘后发布了2025年一季度的业绩。整体来看，一季度业绩超预期，虽然不如上季度惊艳，但短中期的高增长趋势并未打破，二季度指引 以及全年指引均优于机构预期。 不过高估值下市场容忍度也在降低。财报前无视关税和DOGE的影响，市值创新高已经逼近3000亿，隐含25年EV/Sales 75倍。因此，除了对"不够惊艳"的挑剔外， 一季度代表中长期增长潜力的国际商业市场收入首次出现同比下滑，恐怕是引发财报后市场反馈不佳的主要原因。 具体来看财报核心信息： 1. 政府效 率年的影响还未体现： 一季度美国政府收入同比增长45%，相比四季度小幅扩张，算是略微打消了财报前部分资金对政府收入增长的担忧。政府收支官 方网站上，一季度Palantir被授予的合同规模确实增速环比下降， 但从往年情况来看，短期季节间的波动并不能说明什么。 Palantir前两月的深度调整，主要源于政府DOGE的影响，2月国防部长更是扔下了一枚炸弹：未来国防部门开支将每年减少8%。市场立即对美国政府收入占比高达 40%以上的Palantir，引发了收入增长的担忧。 但国防部长后面还有半句话： 集中投资高ROI领域。 而Pal ...

导 语：这些初创公司由与"让美国再次伟大"（MAGA）理念契合的风险资本公司支持。 彼得·蒂尔对原子非常痴迷。这位具有远见的风险投资家曾表示，曼哈顿计划——即创造第一枚原子 弹的计划——是美国政府过去如何"完成任务"的典范。他长期以来一直主张，过度关注"比特"（软 件）而忽视"原子"（硬件）导致了美国的经济停滞。 2015年，他曾写到，美国需要"一个新的原子时代"来生产清洁、充足的能源。十年后，他与唐纳德· 特朗普总统政府中的高层人士成为朋友，而这些人也认同他的愿景。这一切开始逐步实现。 四月中旬，蒂尔先生最大的风险投资公司Founders Fund成为一轮融资的主要投资方，为General Matter筹集了5000万美元资金。这家初创公司计划成为美国首家通过私人投资进行铀浓缩的企业。 蒂尔先生通常喜欢保持低调，但这次却破例决定出任公司董事会成员。 考虑到General Matter的雄心，这笔投资可能显得微不足道。该公司希望从零开始开发一种技术，生 产浓缩水平比目前商用标准高出四倍的铀-235，以为新一代先进核反应堆提供燃料。这项计划预计 将耗资数十亿美元。 这家初创企业是一个毫不掩饰爱国情怀的创业公司群 ...
