Fortinet Q2 Revenue Jumps 26%, Beats by $160M; Lifts 2026 Outlook
FTNT has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $70.12 on elevated volume (1.9× avg).
Summary
Fortinet delivered a standout Q2, with revenue surging 26% to $2.05B—$160M above consensus—and adjusted EPS of $0.90 crushing the $0.75 estimate. Product revenue exploded 52% on booming firewall and SASE demand, while billings hit $2.37B. Management raised full-year 2026 revenue growth guidance to 19%, signaling confidence the momentum continues. This follows a strong Q1 beat and a $1B buyback boost earlier this year, reinforcing a pattern of execution. The stock, already near a 52-week high, now trades at 45x forward earnings—rich, but justified if growth keeps accelerating. Q3 guidance of $2.01B-$2.1B in revenue and $0.83-$0.87 in adjusted EPS sets a high bar; any slip could sting. The bottom line also rose in Q2.
