You now know SNPS reports about 1.6× PLTR's revenue, and PLTR keeps more of each dollar as net income. Those are the facts. The investment question is what each share price already assumes about their exposure to artificial intelligence, including “Growth and renewal of US and allied government contracts, including defense and intelligence work” at PLTR, and which evidence in the next filings would prove that assumption wrong.

Read the full researchStart with primary filings because fiscal calendars and accounting presentation can make superficially similar quarters incomparable. PLTR's fiscal year ends December 31, while SNPS's ends October 31. Normalize the reporting periods before comparing growth, margins, capital intensity, or guidance.
The current verified House and Senate snapshot contains 50 matched transaction rows for PLTR and 17 matched transaction rows for SNPS. These delayed, range-based disclosures can identify a filing to inspect; they do not establish motive, conviction, or a real-time trading signal.
This page does not contain licensed live prices, a valuation model, earnings estimates, portfolio constraints, or a forecast of future returns. SEC classifications can be broad, company descriptions can lag strategic change, and the latest annual filing may predate a material acquisition or divestiture. Read subsequent quarterly and current reports before making a decision.
A stronger business is not automatically the better stock. Starting valuation, expectations, capital structure, cyclicality, dilution, and the probability of each thesis determine the investment outcome. Use this comparison to frame the work, then verify the numbers in the linked filings and current company disclosures.
Palantir Technologies and Synopsys share the SEC industry classification “Services-Prepackaged Software.” That makes the operating comparison relevant, but it does not prove that every product, customer, or revenue stream competes directly.
Synopsys (SNPS) is the larger business by reported revenue: $7.1B in its fiscal year ended Oct 2025, about 1.6× PLTR's $4.5B (fiscal year ended Dec 2025). PLTR's net margin was 36.3% and SNPS's 18.9%. Both file with the SEC under the same industry code, SIC 7372 (Services-Prepackaged Software). Each figure is the annual amount tagged in the company's own SEC XBRL filing; market value depends on live prices, which this page does not publish.
There is no context-free winner. Compare the operating exposures, filing evidence, valuation, balance sheet, and risks against the specific thesis you are testing. This page deliberately does not turn a static profile into a buy or sell recommendation.
No. Yield Theory does not republish unlicensed real-time market data. The financial figures on this page are the audited annual numbers Palantir Technologies Inc. and Synopsys, Inc. tagged in their SEC XBRL filings.
