AI Brief

Q3 FY26 earnings call · Nov 3, 2026
Q3 FY26

TL;DR. AI-platform adoption is improving productivity, demand remains strong, third-quarter adjusted EPS and gross margin increased, and management expects revenue growth early in 2027. Fourth-quarter guidance calls for revenue of $68 million to $70 million, adjusted EPS of $0.39 to $0.41, and increased operating cash flow. Revenue and certain segment results declined year over year, AI-related decision-making remains elongated, SAP faces a difficult comparison, and calendar effects plus an approximately $1 million AI transition charge create fourth-quarter headwinds.

Bullish
  • + Third-quarter adjusted diluted EPS increased year over year and landed at the high end of guidance.
  • + Adjusted gross margin improved sequentially and year over year, with further improvement expected in the fourth quarter.
  • + Expanding use of the XT and AIX AI platforms is beginning to improve sales and delivery productivity.
  • + Demand for digital transformation remains strong despite macroeconomic concerns and competing investment priorities.
Bearish
  • − Third-quarter revenue declined from the prior-year period.
  • − Client concern about AI returns on investment has elongated decision-making throughout the year.
  • − SAP revenue declined sequentially and fourth-quarter software revenue is expected to remain below the prior-year record.
  • − The extra fiscal week is expected to reduce fourth-quarter adjusted EPS by approximately $0.03 per share.
  • − The company expects an AI transition charge of approximately $1 million in the fourth quarter.
