What changed
Compared with the prior-quarter analysis, the current analysis describes FY26 delivery at 16% revenue growth, 20% CRPO growth and 28% RPO growth, with FY27 revenue guidance of $1.985-$2.0 billion and approximately 19% operating margin. The product roadmap also expanded through Jina AI, cross-project search and a native Prometheus time-series store.
Guidance delta
FY27 revenue guidance was set at $1.985-$2.0 billion, with approximately 19% non-GAAP operating margin; the analysis describes guidance as maintained.
Key takeaways
- Elastic's FY26 analysis cites 16% revenue growth and a 14.8% non-GAAP operating margin, ahead of guidance.
- CRPO rose 20% and RPO rose 28%, pointing to stronger multi-year commitments and customer stickiness.
- AI context, agent, vector-search and platform-consolidation initiatives remain central to the growth plan.
- Management plans to expand sales capacity, broaden integrations and continue product development.
Management priorities
- Scale AI context, agent and vector-search capabilities.
- Increase sales headcount and convert larger CRPO and RPO commitments.
- Expand Elastic Cloud, public-sector SIEM and platform integrations.

Methodology
Reported and consensus figures come from FN2's earnings event records. Market reaction and volume are calculated from daily adjusted bars around the event; abnormal move subtracts the SPY move over the same window.
Analyst target low, average, and high values are derived at request time from each named analyst's latest persisted FMP target. The current-price marker comes from FN2's persisted market snapshot. They are sell-side estimates, not an FN2 valuation or recommendation.
Transcript intelligence is a structured synthesis of the current and prior earnings-call analyses. Missing values stay missing and are never estimated.
