Hyperconverged infrastructure vendor Nutanix reported continued growth and increased profitability in its latest quarter, but forecast a slowdown due to sales push-outs.

Revenues in the first fiscal 2026 quarter ended October 31, 2025, were $670.6 million, a 13.4 percent annual increase, with a GAAP profit of $62.1 million, more than double the year-ago $19.9 million.

President and CEO Rajiv Ramaswami said: “We saw solid demand for our cloud platform in our first quarter, with bookings that were slightly ahead of our expectations, ARR growth of 18 percent year-over-year, another healthy quarter of new logo additions, and solid free cash flow performance.” 

CFO Rukmini Sivaraman said: “Late in the quarter, we saw some revenue shift from Q1 into future periods. We expect that the revenue over time remains unchanged. We expect this dynamic to continue and have factored it in our Q2 and updated full-year revenue guidance.”
