Fiscal Q3 revenue jumps 122.6 percent

For fiscal Q3 2026, revenue reached USD 330.4 million, up 122.6 percent from the year-earlier period. According to Zacks on September 21, 2026, non-GAAP earnings reached USD 1.20 per share, beating the USD 1.00 consensus by 20 percent.

The underlying comparison is also visible sequentially. Revenue rose 36.2 percent from fiscal Q2, while GAAP earnings per share reached USD 1.07 and gross margin was 47.8 percent in fiscal Q3.

Guidance points to another step up
