Oppenheimer had anticipated a slight upside to the quarter and flagged a favorable setup for fiscal 2027, with initial guidance expected at 16%-17% annual recurring revenue and revenue growth. Multiple institutions had recently raised their price targets ahead of the print: Barclays lifted its target to $192 from $170, BofA Securities raised its target to $210 from $175, and Guggenheim initiated a buy rating with a $214 target.
