QLYS Earnings Call
Q4 2026
0:00 / 0:00
Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call highlighted strong financial performance in 2025 — double-digit revenue growth, very high margins (47%), robust free cash flow, significant product innovation (agentic AI, ETM, Agent Val), partner momentum and disciplined capital returns (share repurchases). Management provided constructive FY2026 guidance but signaled a moderation in top-line growth to 7%–8% and outlined planned investments that modestly compress margins to the mid-40s. ETM and agentic AI are promising differentiators with early customer and partner wins, but adoption is still early and has not yet driven a material uplift in net expansion. Overall, the positives (profitability, cash generation, product differentiation and partner traction) outweigh the near-term headwinds (slower growth guidance, higher operating investments and early-stage product penetration), producing a constructive but cautious outlook.View all QLYS earnings summariesQLYS Revenue Breakdown
