Q2 FY2027 reported results

What to watch

  1. Net new ARR against $285 million. The guide implies $284.0–286.0 million. The year-ago quarter was $221.1 million. Last quarter came in 2.3% above the same implied bar, which on this one would be about $292 million.
  2. The fiscal 2027 ending ARR range, currently $6,531.7–6,555.5 million. Raise it and the second half has to deliver more than the $750 million the current guide implies; leave it and the 27.7% full-year growth raised in June stands unchanged.
  3. Non-GAAP EPS against $0.29 post-split, and whether the company restates the year-ago $0.93 to $0.23. Both figures will be quoted somewhere; only one basis is comparable. A print of $0.30 is a one-cent beat and a 1% beat at the same time.
  4. Free cash flow against a 28.0% trailing margin. The April quarter ran 33.8%, an all-time high. The long-term target model management has stated is 34–38%, and a quarter inside that range would be the first evidence the target is a floor rather than an ambition.
  5. Whether anyone asks about the CTO. No successor has been named. The question that matters is not the departure but the roadmap: who owns the Falcon platform's technical direction from here.
