Current thesis
The Q2 print materially improved the operating narrative: cRPO accelerated to 14%, FY27 revenue guidance increased, AI and data ARR approached $3.9 billion, and management cited second-half organic revenue reacceleration. Post-print commentary was constructive: Oppenheimer reiterated Outperform and raised its target from $250 to $275, while Barclays raised its target from $236 to $276 and retained Overweight.
