    Palantir Q4 2025 Earnings Analysis

    **BETA FINCH PODCAST SCRIPT**

    ---

    **ALEX**: Welcome to Beta Finch, your AI-powered earnings breakdown where we cut through the noise to bring you what really matters from corporate America's latest results. I'm Alex.

    **JORDAN**: And I'm Jordan. Today we're diving into what might be one of the most jaw-dropping earnings reports we've covered - Palantir's Q4 2025 results that just dropped yesterday.

    **ALEX**: Before we jump in, I need to mention that this podcast is AI-generated content for educational and entertainment purposes only. Nothing we discuss should be considered investment advice. Always do your own research and consult a qualified financial advisor before making any investment decisions.

    **JORDAN**: Absolutely. And Alex, when you say "jaw-dropping," you're not kidding. I mean, where do we even start with these numbers?

    **ALEX**: Let's start with the headline figure - 70% revenue growth year-over-year. For a company that's been public for several years now, that's just... unprecedented.

    **JORDAN**: Right, and what really caught my attention is that this wasn't just top-line growth. Their "Rule of 40" score - which measures combined revenue growth and profit margins - hit 127. For context, anything above 40 is considered excellent for a SaaS company.

    **ALEX**: And the US business is absolutely on fire. US revenue grew 93% year-over-year, now representing 77% of their total revenue. Their US commercial segment specifically grew 137% year-over-year. These aren't typos, folks.

    **JORDAN**: What's fascinating is how they're achieving this. It's not just about adding more customers - though they did grow to 954 customers, up 34% year-over-year. It's about existing customers dramatically expanding their usage. Their top 20 customers now generate $94 million each in trailing twelve-month revenue, up 45% year-over-year.

    **ALEX**: The deal sizes they're talking about are staggering. They mentioned a healthcare company that went from demos to a $96 million deal by year-end. An engineering services company signed an $80 million contract after just seeing some fall demos.

    **JORDAN**: And here's what's really interesting about their guidance for 2026 - they're projecting $7.19 billion in revenue, which represents 61% growth. Remember, at the beginning of 2025, they were guiding for around 30% growth and ended up with 56%.

    **ALEX**: Let's talk about what's driving this. Their AIP platform - that's their AI Platform - seems to be the secret sauce here. CEO Alex Karp made some pretty bold claims about how they're different from other AI companies.

    **JORDAN**: Yeah, Karp was... characteristically colorful in his commentary. He basically argued that while everyone else is competing on commoditized AI models, Palantir is focused on what he called "scaling the leverage" of AI in real-world production environments.

    **ALEX**: The defense business is equally impressive. US government revenue grew 66% year-over-year. They landed a $448 million contract with the Navy for modernizing shipbuilding supply chains, and their "Warp Speed" initiative seems to be expanding beyond just submarines.

    **JORDAN**: Speaking of Warp Speed and their "Ship OS" - they shared some incredible efficiency gains. One shipbuilder reduced planning time from 160 hours to 10 minutes. A shipyard cut material review from weeks to less than an hour.

    **ALEX**: But here's something that really stood out to me from the Q&A - when asked about international expansion, Karp was pretty blunt. He basically said they don't have the bandwidth to focus on difficult international markets because US demand is so overwhelming.

    **JORDAN**: That was a fascinating strategic admission. He specifically called out Europe and Canada as markets where there's "lack of adoption," while praising adoption in places like Israel and Arab countries. It sounds like they're deliberately choosing to focus where they see the most receptive customers.

    **ALEX**: The cash generation is also

  • Oracle Q3 2026 Earnings Analysis

    Oracle Q3 2026 Earnings Analysis
    Mar 21 2026
    **BETA FINCH PODCAST SCRIPT**

    ---

    **ALEX:** Welcome to Beta Finch, your AI-powered earnings breakdown where we turn complex corporate calls into clear insights. I'm Alex, and joining me as always is my co-host Jordan. Today we're diving into Oracle's Q3 2026 earnings call, and wow, what a quarter this was for the database giant.

    Before we jump in, I need to share our standard disclaimer: This podcast is AI-generated content for educational and entertainment purposes only. Nothing we discuss should be considered investment advice. Always do your own research and consult a qualified financial advisor before making any investment decisions.

    **JORDAN:** Thanks Alex, and you're absolutely right - this was quite the quarter for Oracle. Let me start with the headline numbers because they're pretty impressive. For the first time in over 15 years, Oracle hit a major milestone with both organic total revenue and non-GAAP earnings per share growing at 20% or better in USD. That's a significant acceleration.

    **ALEX:** That's huge, Jordan. And what's driving this growth? It seems like Oracle is really firing on all cylinders here.

    **JORDAN:** Exactly. There are two standout segments that are just exploding. Their multicloud database revenue grew 531% year-over-year - that's not a typo, five-hundred-thirty-one percent. And their AI infrastructure revenue grew 243% year-over-year. These aren't just growth numbers, these are transformation numbers.

    **ALEX:** Those are mind-blowing growth rates. But let's talk about what's actually happening operationally. It sounds like Oracle has been busy expanding their reach beyond just their own cloud.

    **JORDAN:** That's the key insight here, Alex. Oracle has been strategic about bringing their database services to other clouds - Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and now Amazon AWS. Clay McGork, one of their CEOs, mentioned they now have global region coverage across all partner clouds. They went from 2 AWS regions at the start of Q3 to 8 by the end, and they're projecting 22 AWS regions by Q4.

    **ALEX:** And this multicloud strategy seems to be unlocking pent-up demand. What did they say about their pipeline?

    **JORDAN:** Here's where it gets really interesting - Oracle reported a remaining performance obligation, or RPO, of $553 billion. That's essentially contracted future revenue. The demand for AI infrastructure is so strong that they literally have more demand than they can supply right now.

    **ALEX:** Speaking of AI infrastructure, I noticed Oracle made some interesting strategic moves this quarter. Can you walk us through the TikTok situation?

    **JORDAN:** Absolutely. Oracle secured a 15% stake in the newly independent TikTok US entity, which separated from ByteDance in January. This gives Oracle not just continued revenue from providing TikTok's technology services, but also equity upside from their board seat and ownership stake. It's a clever way to diversify their revenue streams.

    **ALEX:** And they've been busy on the financing front too, right?

    **JORDAN:** Huge developments there. Oracle announced a $50 billion financing initiative and has already secured $30 billion through bonds and convertible preferred stock. But here's the really smart part - CFO Doug Caring explained that over 90% of their data center capacity investments are being funded by partners. So Oracle is scaling their AI infrastructure without taking on the full capital burden themselves.

    **ALEX:** That's brilliant financial engineering. Now, there was some interesting discussion about AI potentially disrupting the SaaS industry. What was Oracle's take on this?

    **JORDAN:** This was one of my favorite parts of the call. CEO Mike Cecilia directly addressed what he called the "reported SaaS apocalypse" - this theory that AI coding tools will kill traditional software companies. His response was basically, "bring it on, we're already there."

    **ALEX:** How so?

    **JORDAN:** Oracle has embedded over 1,000 AI agents direct

    # Beta Finch Podcast Script: NVIDIA Q4 2026 Earnings

    **ALEX:** Welcome to Beta Finch, your AI-powered earnings breakdown. I'm Alex, and joining me as always is Jordan. Today we're diving into NVIDIA's absolutely massive Q4 2026 results that just dropped. Jordan, before we get started, I need to mention that this podcast is AI-generated content for educational and entertainment purposes only. Nothing we discuss should be considered investment advice. Always do your own research and consult a qualified financial advisor before making any investment decisions.

    **JORDAN:** Thanks Alex. And wow, where do we even start with these numbers? NVIDIA just reported Q4 revenue of $68 billion - that's up 73% year-over-year and they added $11 billion in sequential growth. This is a company that's now doing nearly $200 billion in annual data center revenue alone.

    **ALEX:** Right, and what's really striking is the acceleration. They went from strong growth in Q3 to even stronger growth in Q4. The data center business hit $62 billion for the quarter, up 75% year-over-year. But Jordan, what caught my attention was their guidance for Q1 - they're calling for $78 billion in revenue, which would be another massive jump.

    **JORDAN:** Exactly, and that guidance assumes zero revenue from China, which is important context given the ongoing trade restrictions. But let's talk about what's driving this growth - it's really the Blackwell architecture that's just taken off. Jensen mentioned they have 9 gigawatts of Blackwell infrastructure already deployed, and here's the kicker - even their six-year-old Ampere chips are sold out in the cloud.

    **ALEX:** That supply constraint theme runs throughout this call. Colette Kress mentioned they've strategically secured inventory and purchase commitments extending into calendar 2027 - that's much further out than usual and reflects the unprecedented demand visibility they're seeing. Speaking of segments, their networking business was a real standout, hitting $11 billion in revenue, up more than 3.5x year-over-year.

    **JORDAN:** And that networking growth ties directly into their "AI factory" strategy. Jensen kept emphasizing this concept that in the new world of AI, compute literally equals revenue. When companies can generate tokens faster and more efficiently, that directly translates to higher revenues. It's why their customers are so willing to spend massive amounts on infrastructure.

    **ALEX:** Speaking of spending, the numbers Jensen threw out about cloud provider CapEx were staggering. He said analyst expectations for 2026 CapEx across the top five cloud providers are approaching $700 billion - that's up $120 billion just since the start of the year. But there's something bigger happening here with what they're calling "agentic AI."

    **JORDAN:** Right, this was probably the most important strategic theme of the call. Jensen talked about how we've hit an inflection point with AI agents - systems like Claude Code and OpenAI Codex that can actually take on complex, long-running tasks. He mentioned these agents are being used extensively by NVIDIA's own engineers, and the demand for the compute power to run them is going exponential.

    **ALEX:** And they're betting big on this trend. NVIDIA announced a $10 billion investment in Anthropic this quarter, deepening their partnerships with all the major AI players. They're also working closely with OpenAI, Meta's expanding their deployment to millions of GPUs, and they even acquired talent from Groq to enhance their inference capabilities.

    **JORDAN:** Let's talk about their next-generation platform - Rubin. They unveiled this at CES with six new chips, and Jensen claims it will train models with one-fourth the number of GPUs compared to Blackwell and reduce inference costs by up to 10x. They've already started shipping samples and expect production in the second half of the year.

    **ALEX:** The margins story is fascinating too. They maintained gross margins around
