The end of the earnings season is always a good time to take a step back and see who shined (and who didn’t). Let’s take a look at how automation software stocks fared in Q1, starting with Appian (NASDAQ:APPN). The whole purpose of software is to automate tasks to increase productivity. Today, innovative new software techniques, often involving AI and machine learning, are finally allowing automation that has graduated from simple one- or two-step workflows to more complex processes integral to enterprises. The result is surging demand for modern automation software. The 6 automation software stocks we track reported a satisfactory Q1. As a group, revenues beat analysts’ consensus estimates by 1.5% while next quarter’s revenue guidance was in line. In light of this news, share prices of the companies have held steady.

Email [email protected] Matthew Calkins: Thanks, Brian, and thanks to everyone for joining us today. In the first quarter of 2026, Appian's cloud subscriptions revenue grew 25% year-over-year to $124.5 million. Subscriptions revenue grew 19% to $160.3 million. Total revenue grew 21% to $202.2 million. Adjusted EBITDA was $26.6 million. Our weighted Rule of 40 scored 42, the highest level since we introduced the metric last year. Our go-to-market efficiency metric posted its 11th straight quarter of improvement. Appian continues to build on our success in 2025. We met or exceeded financial expectations in Q1 and raised full year guidance. Serge will share the details. Last week, Appian announced the results of a study done with the Harvard Business Review on the state of AI in the workplace. It captures this unique moment in which every organization intends to use AI, but many struggle to get value from it, especially in the most important use cases. HBR found that AI is used more for personal efficiency than it is for strategic applications. If an application is customer-facing or makes business decisions, it's probably not benefiting from AI. Appian's purpose is to bring AI into mission-critical applications, at large regulated companies where errors are not acceptable. We make AI reliable enough for such use cases by wrapping it in a deterministic framework of process technology. AI is a probabilistic technology unreliable by nature, while the most valuable use cases require complete dependability. HBR's study shows how corporate users know what's needed to make their AI reliable. 92% know they need guardrails for AI, though most have not created them. Most intend to integrate AI into process, though only 18% have done it. Organizations now understand how to equip AI for serious use cases even if they haven't done it yet. HBR's conclusion states and I quote, "The next phase of AI maturity will depend on embedding AI directly into the core of how work gets done." Appian has been embedding AI into the core of how work gets done for years, with our leading process automation technology. My conversations with customers indicate that we've helped them move faster than t...

Appian Corporation APPN shares have come under pressure following the company’s first-quarter 2026 results released on May 7. APPN stock has plunged 19.2% since the earnings release, underperforming the Zacks Internet - Software industry’s 1.3% decline and lagging the S&P 500 Index and the broader Zacks Computer and Technology sector, both of which gained 0.3% during the same period. APPN Price Performance (Post Q1 Release) Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Appian remains one of the leading players in low-code automation and enterprise process orchestration. The company is also increasingly positioning itself as a serious enterprise AI platform focused on regulated and mission-critical workflows. With improving margins and strong cloud subscription growth, could the recent decline prove attractive for investors willing to look beyond near-term volatility? Despite the strong quarter, investors reacted negatively to Appian’s second-quarter guidance. For the second quarter of 2026, Appian expects total revenues between $191 million and $195 million, implying year-over-year growth of 12-14%. The company also expects adjusted EBITDA between $5 million and $8 million, far below the first quarter’s level. Non-GAAP earnings per share are projected to be between a loss of 2 cents and a profit of 2 cents. The weaker profitability outlook overshadowed the strong first-quarter 2026 performance. Management attributed part of the sequential margin pressure to seasonal marketing and event expenses in the second quarter. Still, the guidance raised concerns about slowing momentum after Appian’s strong start to 2026. Investors also remain cautious about the broader software spending environment, especially for enterprise automation projects that can face longer sales cycles during uncertain macroeconomic conditions. Another challenge is competition. The low-code and AI automation market remains highly competitive, with both large enterprise software vendors and niche automation specialists investing aggressively in AI capabilities. Appian must continue innovating to defend its market position and sustain growth. The company also remains GAAP unprofitable. While margins are improving, Appian continues to carry a sizable accumulated deficit and more than $238 million in total debt. Appian delivered a strong first quarter. Total revenue increased 21% year over year to $202...

The reported revenue represents a surprise of +5.79% over the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $191.12 million. With the consensus EPS estimate being $0.19, the EPS surprise was +45.95%.

Like much of the software-as-a-service (SaaS) sector, Appian (NASDAQ: APPN) has had a rough year. Shares of the business process automation company are down 33% year-to-date, falling in line with the rest of the software sector. The market seems to believe it's vulnerable to competition from AI platforms like Anthropic as the stock fell sharply in late January on a broader sell-off over AI fears, and again in April after Anthropic announced its Mythos AI model, which it said was too powerful to release to the public. Despite those concerns, Appian hasn't exhibited any weakness in its business. In fact, the company, which is leveraging AI as part of its cloud subscription platform, just reported one of its best quarters in years. Appian's total revenue rose 21% to $202.2 million, well ahead of the consensus at $191.8 million. Cloud subscription revenue was up 25% to $124.5 million. The company's earlier cost-cutting and improved go-to-market efficiency also continued to pay off as adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) rose from $16.8 million to $26.6 million. It also reported a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) operating profit of $3.2 million. Adjusted earnings per share more than doubled from $0.13 to $0.27, easily beating the consensus at $0.18. Appian AI is taking off and accelerating the business's growth, as nearly 40% of its customers have purchased AI-inclusive license tiers. Appian is landing and expanding deals with Fortune 500 companies and government agencies that need error-free AI for mission-critical applications. CEO Matt Calkins also noted that, despite the popularity of vibe-coding, using AI alone to create mission-critical applications is not a viable strategy, as those applications need to be updated and supported through tools such as those that Appian provides. Appian's solid first-quarter results led it to raise its full-year guidance, calling for revenue of $819 million-$831 million, up 13%-14%, and better than its earlier forecast of $801 million-$817 million. Given the first-quarter growth rate, that forecast is likely conservative. On the bottom line, it now expects adjusted earnings per share of $0.94-$1.05, up from an earlier forecast of $0.82-$0.96. At the updated guidance, Appian now expects EPS to increase by roughly 60%, showing how far the business has come. Based on t...

(Bloomberg) -- CoreWeave Inc. shares are on a scorching run in 2026 as demand for computing capacity to power artificial intelligence keeps growing. But now investors want to see some proof that the neo-cloud provider is executing on its ambitious plans.

Recent results from the biggest AI spenders like Alphabet Inc. and Meta Platforms Inc. made it clear that the need for computing power is insatiable as capital expenditures continue to rise. Considering the company rents access to AI infrastructure featuring the latest chips from Nvidia Corp., that plays right into its hands. “There is an insane amount of demand for AI compute,” said Tejas Dessai, director of thematic research at Global X ETFs. “The backdrop is extremely positive for CoreWeave.” Investors will be closely monitoring CoreWeave’s revenue acceleration, its outlook for the rest of the year and its backlog heading into 2027, he said. The stock is up 78% this year and a stunning 218% since the Livingston, New Jersey-based company went public in March 2025. The latest rally got going roughly a month ago as investors regained faith in the AI trade and CoreWeave announced deals with Meta, Anthropic PBC and Jane Street Group in quick succession. CoreWeave shares were down as much as 9.1% in intraday trading Thursday after rallying 7.9% on Wednesday. Of the 36 analysts tracked by Bloomberg who follow CoreWeave, 23 have buy ratings on the stock and only two have sells. But their average 12-month price target of $131 is below where the shares closed Wednesday, even though it’s been rising over the past six months. Wall Street expects the company to report revenue of nearly $2 billion in the first quarter, twice what it posted a year ago, and a loss of $1.20 per share, which would be an improvement from a loss of $1.49 a share in the first quarter of 2025. CoreWeave’s revenue backlog was nearly $67 billion as of Dec. 31, and the recent deals should raise its remaining performance obligati...

These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +45.95%.

This compares to year-ago revenues of $166.43 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters. The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call. Appian shares have lost about 34.6% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 7.6%. While Appian has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions. Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Appian was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank...
