The prominent US mega-cap tech stocks are already disclosing their most recent results, including Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL), Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META), and Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA).
While those names received the majority of the attention, a number of cloud computing and software companies that have recovered after a sector-wide selloff earlier this year are still need to report.
As the sector tries to recover from its recent selloff, we look at three battered IT businesses worth examining ahead of their forthcoming quarterly releases next week.

NASDAQ 100 Daily PALANTIR Earnings Date: August 8 before the start of trading Year-To-Date Efficiency: -37.8% Capitalization: $23.1 billion As it lost popularity, Palantir Technologies (NYSE: PLTR), which offers data analytics software and services to huge organizations worldwide, has seen its valuation plummet recently.
Shares of the data-mining company have significantly lagged the overall market in 2022 as a toxic trifecta of rising interest rates, increased inflation, and slower economic growth caused an aggressive reset in values across the tech sector.
Since hitting an all-time low of $6.44 on May 12, PLTR has increased by about 74%. Despite a recent uptick, Palantir is still about 38% off its record high of $45.00 hit in January 2021 and is currently roughly 75% below it.
Palantir Daily Palantir provided weak revenue guidance while providing mixed outcomes for the prior quarter. According to widely-held projections, the company’s revenue will rise 26% year over year (yoy) to a new high of $471.7 million as a result of increased demand for its data analytics products and services. But EPS is expected to decrease 25% year over year to $0.03.
The government sector, which makes up more than half of Palantir’s overall sales, will be closely watched by investors. With only a 16% year-over-year increase in revenue, Palantir’s technology was slightly behind forecasts in this sector in the first quarter.
As Palantir has been attempting to broaden its customer base and expand into the manufacturing, energy, and health care sectors, its total commercial revenue, which outperformed, rising 54% in Q1, will also be widely followed. The client count, which increased 86% year over year in Q1, will also be of interest.
Watch for management’s comments on upcoming sales as there are worries that it won’t achieve its objective of achieving top-line growth of at least 30% through 2025.
