NetScout Systems (ISIN US64115T1043) was last at USD 40.99 on Nasdaq on October 6, 2026, down 0.51 percent from the previous close. The latest fiscal update showed revenue of USD 210.4 million and adjusted diluted EPS of USD 0.52 for fiscal Q1 2027, according to Benzinga.

Revenue rises 12.7 percent

For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, revenue increased 12.7 percent from USD 186.7 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted diluted EPS rose from USD 0.34 to USD 0.52, while management reported a gross margin of 80.6 percent and an operating margin of 20.8 percent.

The comparison was helped by government-related orders that arrived earlier than expected. Management said those orders contributed USD 10 million to USD 15 million of revenue, creating a timing factor that matters for the second quarter rather than changing the full-year outlook.

Guidance holds at USD 885 million

Benzinga reported that NetScout reaffirmed fiscal 2027 revenue guidance of USD 885 million to USD 915 million and adjusted EPS guidance of USD 2.65 to USD 2.80. The midpoint of the revenue range implies 4.7 percent growth from fiscal 2026, below the first-quarter pace of 12.7 percent.

The business mix remains important. Service assurance revenue increased 19.7 percent in fiscal Q1 2027, while cybersecurity revenue grew 0.6 percent, according to the earnings-call transcript. Service assurance represented 67 percent of quarterly revenue and cybersecurity represented 33 percent.

Stock sits below the yearly high

NetScout Systems stock was last at USD 40.99 on Nasdaq on October 6, 2026, with a session range of USD 40.82 to USD 41.70. Its 52-week range was USD 25.20 to USD 45.28, placing the last price USD 4.29 below the yearly high, while market capitalization stood at USD 3.0 billion.

Consensus coverage remains limited. ToAlpha listed three analysts with two Buy ratings and one Hold rating, an average target of USD 43.38, a low of USD 37.13 and a high of USD 50.00. The average target lies 5.8 percent above the October 6 price.

NetScout Systems stock stays under review

For investors, the central tension is visible in the numbers: first-quarter growth was driven partly by early government orders, while full-year guidance implies a slower pace. The next earnings date listed for NetScout Systems is November 5, 2026.
