Netskope, valued at $5.7 billion, is increasingly positioning itself as a broader platform rather than a point solution, putting it in competition with larger cybersecurity players such as CrowdStrike and Palo Alto Networks.
The Santa Clara, California-based firm helps companies protect their data, cloud apps, networks and AI systems from cyber threats through its Netskope One platform and NewEdge private cloud network.
Netskope: Q2 Earnigns Overview
Netskope reported revenue of $221 million, up from $170.8 million a year earlier and above Wall Street’s $214.2 million estimate. Adjusted loss came in at $0.3 per share, narrower than the $0.07 per share loss analysts expected.
Annual recurring revenue rose 27% to $899 million, while remaining performance obligations jumped 36% to $1.35 billion. Gross margin also expanded to 77% from 75% a year earlier.
CEO Sanjay Beri said the results were driven by “continued differentiating organic innovation” and demand for the Netskope One platform across “security, networking, analytics and AI.”
The company raised its fiscal 2027 revenue outlook to $888 million-$892 million, with the midpoint above analysts’ $881 million estimate.
AI Momentum Driving Revives Cybersecurity Play
AI is becoming a particularly important part of that strategy. Netskope said products including AI Guardrails, AI Gateway, AI Command Center and Agentic Broker are generating growing customer interest, with some AI security opportunities already moving into proof-of-concept stages.
During the earnings call, Beri said many enterprises still lack visibility into which AI tools and agents are being used inside their organizations. Management also highlighted transaction-based pricing for AI products and outcome-based pricing for some security offerings.
