帕兰提尔利润大涨，美国商业收入首次超过政府

There is a company in the United States that makes computer software, called Palantir.

It helps clients organize large amounts of information, that is, data.

There are two kinds of clients: the U.S. government and U.S. companies.

This quarter, something like this happened for the first time.

The money from company clients was more than the money from government clients.

Company clients paid about 1 billion dollars.

Government clients paid about 950 million dollars.

The money from company clients grew very fast, nearly 1.5 times more than last year.

The money from government clients also increased by about 1 times.

The revenue for the whole quarter was 2.3 billion dollars.

This is about 1 times more than last year, exceeding 2 billion for the first time.

People who watch stocks originally thought it would be only 2.2 billion.

This quarter it earned about 1.1 billion dollars, which is 44 cents per share.

At this time last year, it only earned more than 470 million dollars.

However, there is one number that doesn't look good.

This quarter, the number of newly closed deals was more than 210.

These deals are worth a total of 2.9 billion dollars.

Last quarter it was 220, which is more than this.

The company's boss wrote a letter to stock buyers.

He wrote that this is not ordinary growth.

He said that this speed is rarely seen in recent years.

Now many companies make a very smart computer program, called artificial intelligence.

This kind of program needs to use the company's own information to learn.

Many companies don't want to give their information to others.

The boss said that such companies increasingly don't want to use other people's artificial intelligence.

In September, it made a new thing with a company that makes chips.

Using this thing, companies can manage their own information themselves.

A person who studies stocks wrote a report.

He said that the biggest risk is that others will also do the same thing.

That kind of program does the same work and costs much less money.

Companies that make this kind of program also hire people from this company to work for them.

After the stock market closed, its stock fell 3 percent.

Some people worry that this speed cannot be maintained.

This company is now worth more than 400 billion dollars.

It has deep ties with the U.S. military, and its software is in military systems.

In the UK, some lawmakers are discussing something.

They want the government to stop a cooperation with this company.

This cooperation is about managing everyone's health information.

A person from an investment company said something.

He said that this company will find it hard to grow abroad.

Because European politics has not yet seen major changes.

In the coming months, the company says it will earn more.

This year, it can reach about 8.5 billion dollars.
