The insurance industry is now putting AI to work. A 2026 outlook from Alpha FMC shows insurers are now using AI across underwriting, claims, and pricing to improve results — and the pace is picking up.

A report from Zscaler (ZS) found that finance and insurance make up 23% of all AI and machine learning traffic, the highest of any sector, with activity jumping 91% year-over-year (YOY). At the same time, Information Services Group (III) has launched a new study focused on insurers using AI and analytics to improve pricing, risk decisions, and claims outcomes, showing just how serious this shift has become.

This is where Palantir Technologies (PLTR) steps in. Its software is already used in U.S. defense, works with Airbus (EADSY), and supports hundreds of companies. Now, it has signed a multi-year, multimillion-dollar expansion deal with GNP Seguros, Mexico's largest insurer. This also marks its first publicly announced commercial customer in Latin America.

So, is this just one deal, or is Palantir Technologies starting to gain real traction outside the U.S.?

Inside Palantir's Financial Strength

Palantir Technologies (PLTR) builds software that helps governments and companies make sense of large amounts of data. Its main platforms, Foundry and Gotham, are used to organize and analyze data so teams can make better decisions.

The stock has been under some pressure lately, down 5.36% over the past 52 weeks and off 25.61% so far this year.

Still, it trades at a much higher valuation than most peers, with a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 113.20 times versus the sector average of 24.77 times, showing that investors are still betting on strong growth ahead.

That optimism is backed by its latest results. In Q1 2026:

• Revenue jumped 85% to $1.63 billion
• U.S. revenue led the way, up 104% to $1.28 billion
• U.S. commercial revenue rose 133% to $595 million
• Government revenue grew 84% to $687 million
• Deals worth over $1 million: 206 closed, pushing total contract value to $2.41 billion, up 61%
• Margins: 46% operating margin, 53% net income margin, and 57% free cash flow margin

Breaking Down the GNP Partnership

Palantir Technologies signed a multi-year, multimillion-dollar expansion deal with GNP Seguros, Mexico's largest insurer under Grupo Nacional Provincial. The deal is notable because it makes GNP Palantir Technologies' first publicly disclosed commercial customer in Latin America — a region where it has had limited visibility compared to its strong U.S. government and domestic business.

As part of the agreement, Palantir Technologies will roll out Foundry and its AI platform across GNP's health, life, auto, and property insurance units, bringing claims, underwriting, operations, and risk data into one system.

This is not a brand-new relationship. GNP Seguros was already using Palantir Technologies' tools for specific tasks like spotting fraud, tracking risk, and improving underwriting. What this new deal does is expand that usage across the entire business, connecting data that was previously scattered. With millions of customers, GNP can now use the platform to catch unusual claims early, flag possible fraud before payouts, and get clearer insights into risk while still keeping human oversight in place.

That matters because Palantir Technologies' international commercial revenue rose just 2.5% in Q1 2026, highlighting the importance of expanding beyond the U.S. market.
