Revenue grew 27.6% year-over-year to $2.00 billion, edging past the $1.97 billion consensus estimate by 1.74%, as sustained demand from AI, cloud, and enterprise customers drove broad-based network transformation spending. Non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.65 topped the $0.59 consensus by 9.98%, extending a streak of disciplined execution, with GAAP operating margin expanding to 42.8% from 42.0% a year earlier. The quarter's momentum was underpinned by a growing deferred revenue balance of $3.09 billion, signaling strong forward visibility even as tariff-related uncertainty loomed in management commentary. Analysts noted that the stock dipped modestly after results, as guidance for Q2 2025 revenue of approximately $2.10 billion was accompanied by anticipated compression in non-GAAP gross and operating margins, to roughly 63% and 46% respectively, tempering an otherwise robust report.
Key Takeaways
- • AI, cloud, and enterprise customers driving network transformation
- • 27.6% year-over-year revenue growth surpassing $2B for the first time
- • Stable gross margins with non-GAAP gross margin of 64.1%
- • Non-GAAP operating margin expansion to 47.8%
