AI deal velocity nearly doubled sequentially
NetApp reported a strong fiscal Q2 beat on margins and EPS, driven by AI wins and a favorable mix shift towards higher-margin cloud and flash products. While revenue growth was modest at 3%, management raised its full-year profitability outlook due to operational discipline. The company provided a cautionary Q3 revenue forecast, citing a slow recovery in the US public sector from the government shutdown, but continues to leverage its AI capabilities. Revenue grew 3% year-over-year to $1.71B, beating guidance, driven by strong all-flash, AI, and public cloud services, which offset a steep decline in US public sector sales.
