Vertex delivered Q2 revenue at the high end of guidance and adjusted EBITDA above expectations, fueled by 10.5% revenue growth and expanding margins. The company raised its full-year adjusted EBITDA forecast and narrowed revenue guidance, signaling confidence in sustained profitability. With a net income swing to $9.0 million from a loss a year ago and non-GAAP EPS of $0.20, the results show the restructuring and AI‑First strategy are gaining traction. The stock may react positively to the beat and raised outlook, though free cash flow remains thin at $2.7 million for the quarter.
