F5 Inc's stock surged 10.93% during pre-market trading on Wednesday, following the release of its impressive first-quarter financial results and subsequent analyst optimism.
The multi-cloud software company reported quarterly adjusted earnings of $4.45 per share, significantly beating the analyst consensus estimate of $3.66. Revenue for the quarter grew approximately 7% year-over-year to $822.5 million, also surpassing Wall Street forecasts. The strong performance was driven by a 37% surge in systems revenue.
Furthermore, F5 raised its full-year fiscal 2026 outlook, now expecting revenue growth between 5% and 6%, up from its prior projection. Adjusted earnings per share guidance was also increased. The positive results prompted analysts at RBC and Piper Sandler to raise their price targets on the stock.
