AI Brief

Q2 FY26 earnings call · Aug 4, 2026
Q2 FY26

TL;DR. Qualys posted Q2 revenue up 11% to $182.2 million and raised full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $732–$738M (from $721–$727M) alongside higher EPS guidance, while highlighting AI-native Risk Operations Center adoption, channel momentum, and QFlex expansion as drivers.

Bullish
  • + Raised full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $732–$738M (from $721–$727M) and raised non-GAAP EPS guidance to $7.74–$7.88 (from $7.44–$7.65).
  • + Channel contribution rose to 54% of revenue (from 49%) with channel revenue up 22% YoY.
  • + Net dollar expansion rate improved to 105% (from 104% last quarter, 103% at start of year) with ETM/CSAM at 107%.
  • + QFlex is now generally available to enterprise customers and is being used to drive platform expansion upsells.
  • + Operating cash flow grew 77% YoY to $59.6M; H1 free cash flow grew to $149.5M.
Bearish
  • − Back-half 2026 current billings growth guidance held at 7%–8%, unchanged despite strong Q2 calculated billings growth of 16%.
  • − Q3 2026 revenue guidance of $185.5–$187.5M implies only 9%–10% YoY growth, similar to the prior-year quarter.
  • − Post-Methos spending impact is still in pipeline/conversation stage and not yet materially closing into revenue.
  • − Recent executive departures, including the CISO and ETM GM, create execution risk during the ETM growth push.
