Palantir Technologies Inc., in its first financial results since going public, reported skyrocketing third-quarter losses as compensation costs surged.

Palantir also boosted its revenue growth forecast for this year to 44%, totaling $1.07 billion and just exceeding the amount analysts expected on average, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. It also increased its 2020 forecast for an adjusted operating profit to $130 million to $136 million. The stock was little changed in extended trading after closing at $14.58 in New York.
