Quick Read

NVIDIA and Palantir both raised guidance after doubling revenue, with NVDA growing 106% and PLTR's U.S. commercial segment surging 149% year over year.
NVIDIA's forward P/E of 24 against 70% guided fiscal 2028 growth makes it the cleaner expression of the AI infrastructure buildout trade.
Palantir's 6% YTD decline and 157% net dollar retention could make its current reset a buying opportunity if AIP pilot conversions hold pace.

NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Palantir (NASDAQ:PLTR) just delivered quarters that share a single message: the AI capability curve has no off switch. NVIDIA sells the compute that makes frontier models possible. Palantir sells the software layer that turns those models into operational decisions. Both raised guidance. Both accelerated. The interesting question is who captures more of the next dollar of AI spend.

SK hynix

Blackwell Ultra Powers One. Sovereign AI Powers the Other.

NVIDIA posted revenue of $96.22 billion, up 105.8% year over year, with Data Center revenue of $89.023 billion growing 117%. Networking alone jumped 138%, a reminder that the moat now stretches well beyond GPUs. Jensen Huang framed the shift bluntly: "AI has reached its inflection point. It's doing useful work. Its tokens are productive and profitable. Now, compute is revenue." Guidance for Q3 landed at $108 billion, plus or minus 2%, and management said supply sets the ceiling.

Palantir's quarter looked equally aggressive on a smaller base. Revenue reached $1.94 billion, up 92.8%, with U.S. commercial revenue of $764 million growing 149%. Adjusted EPS of $0.41, exceeding the $0.28 estimate. Alex Karp's framing echoed Huang's tokens comment from a different angle: "Palantir is the only company that has demonstrated it can transform tokens into actual economic value." The Rule of 40 score hit 155%.

Picks and Shovels vs. Decision Layer

NVIDIA is monetizing the physical buildout. Cloud industry backlog now exceeds $2 trillion, and NVIDIA's revenue opportunity per gigawatt climbed to $40 billion with Vera Rubin, up from $25 billion on Blackwell. Palantir is monetizing what happens after the racks light up. Total contract value closed hit $3.37 billion, and net dollar retention expanded to 157%. Karp described the tailwind as "demand for AI sovereignty": enterprises want the alpha to live in their own weights.

The valuation gap frames the tradeoff. NVIDIA trades at a forward P/E of 24 on $302.97 billion in trailing revenue. Palantir trades at a forward P/E of 75 and a price-to-sales ratio of 65.

Watching Supply for One, Sales Cycles for the Other

I want to see whether NVIDIA converts its $279 billion in supply obligations into shipped Vera Rubin systems without margin slippage. Q4 gross margin is expected to bottom in the 71% to 72% range. For Palantir, you should track whether U.S. commercial keeps its triple-digit cadence against the raised full-year guide of $8.15 billion to $8.16 billion.

Why I Lean NVIDIA, but Own the Question on Palantir

On the fundamentals, NVIDIA looks like the cleaner expression of the "no off switch" thesis. The 17.32% YTD move lags the fundamentals, and a forward multiple of 24 against 70% guided fiscal 2028 growth is a rare combination. Palantir is the more thrilling story, and if AIP keeps converting pilots at this pace, the negative 5.92% YTD reset will look like a gift. Palantir warrants a smaller position, though. The $265 million in Q2 stock-based compensation and long sales cycles keep the risk in view.
