The company fits the list because its AI software demand is accelerating across both government and commercial customers, while the balance sheet remains debt-free. On May 4, Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:PLTR) reported first-quarter 2026 revenue of $1.63 billion, up 85% year over year and 16% sequentially, driven by continued strength in its U.S. business.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">The growth was broad enough to support the high-growth case rather than resting on a single pocket of demand. U.S. revenue grew 104% year over year to $1.28 billion, U.S. commercial revenue rose 133% to $595 million, and U.S. government revenue increased 84% to $687 million. Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:PLTR) also reported adjusted operating income of $984 million, representing a 60% margin, and generated $925 million in adjusted free cash flow. Its balance sheet supports the low-debt screen directly, as the company ended the quarter with $8.0 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and U.S. Treasury securities, and no debt.<\/p>\n<p>    <img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/64a61f032c0494bf30726542a2a345dc.jpeg\" alt=\"Palantir (PLTR): Debt-Free AI Growth Shows Why Its Software Story Still Has Financial Firepower\" loading=\"eager\" height=\"600\" width=\"400\" class=\"yf-lglytj  loaded\"\/> Palantir (PLTR): Debt-Free AI Growth Shows Why Its Software Story Still Has Financial Firepower      <\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Palantir Technologies Inc.
