Palantir vs. Nvidia: 2026 AI Bet Pits Platform Growth Against Chip Supply

Palantir's accelerating AIP-led expansion contrasts with Nvidia's sold-out GPUs under mounting competitive pressure.

Overview

  • Since 2023, Palantir shares are up about 2,640% versus roughly 1,130% for Nvidia, according to Yahoo Finance.
  • Palantir reported third-quarter revenue of $1.12 billion, up 63% year over year, driven by broad commercial and government adoption of its AIP platform.
  • Palantir trades at a significantly higher valuation multiple than Nvidia, sharpening the growth-versus-price trade-off for investors.
  • Nvidia demand remains intense, with CEO Jensen Huang saying cloud GPUs are "sold out" despite questions about longer-term market share.
  • Competition is building for Nvidia as AMD partners with OpenAI to supply about 6 gigawatts of compute and Alphabet’s Broadcom-designed TPUs are in focus, including potential offerings to Meta.
