A10 Networks updated its FY 2026 guidance to 0.650-0.661 EPS.

Here are the key takeaways from A10 Networks’ conference call:

• Revenue grew 15.5% year over year to $80.1 million in Q2, with product revenue up 25% and earnings per diluted share rising to $0.25 from $0.21. Management raised its 2026 revenue-growth outlook to 12%–14% from 10%–12% and EPS-growth outlook to 14%–16% from 12%–14%.
• A10 announced an expanded, long-term relationship with Microsoft, featuring mutual performance commitments and closer alignment with Microsoft’s infrastructure roadmap. Management characterized the agreement as validation of A10’s technology and said it does not involve customer pre-buys.
• AI-related traffic growth, demand for lower latency, and increasing security requirements are driving opportunities across enterprise and service-provider customers. A10 also acquired TrojAI to add AI red-teaming and runtime protection capabilities, with potential for standalone offerings and broader product bundles.
• Enterprise customers represented 60% of Q2 revenue, while service-provider demand showed regional variation: North America began improving, Europe was affected by geopolitical conditions, and Japan remained under macroeconomic pressure. Management expects service-provider revenue excluding Microsoft to be slightly better than 2025 levels.
• Supply-chain cost and delivery challenges, particularly involving memory pricing and availability, remain a risk for margins and earnings. A10 said it has managed the impact so far while prioritizing customer delivery and maintaining its EPS outlook.
