SBA Expands Palantir Fraud Push as New Alliances Extend AI Platforms
The U.S. Small Business Administration is expanding its use of Palantir Technologies' software for a nationwide fraud detection push across pandemic-era relief programs, while new commercial alliances with Rackspace, SNP SE, and GNP Seguros extend Palantir's AI platforms into regulated and SAP-centric environments. The SBA expansion reinforces Palantir's government pillar, though concentrated U.S. government exposure remains a risk. Rackspace has built out roughly 400 Palantir certifications and is focusing on healthcare, finance, energy, and sovereign workloads, aiming to convert fraud detection and defense wins into broader commercial revenue. Palantir's narrative projects $10.8 billion revenue and $3.6 billion earnings by 2028, requiring 40.7% yearly revenue growth and a $2.5 billion earnings increase from $1.1 billion today. Some analysts assume revenue could lift about 45 percent annually and earnings toward $4.9 billion by 2028, a more optimistic scenario that may shift once expanded SBA contracts are fully reflected.
