Annual recurring revenue expanded 25% year-over-year to $1.231 billion, narrowly exceeding analyst expectations of $1.22 billion. SaaS ARR demonstrated even stronger momentum with 36% growth to $847 million, likewise beating projections.
The company maintained net revenue retention at 113%, while adjusted operating margins of 20.3% comfortably surpassed the 18.4% Wall Street estimate.
AI-powered ARR exceeded $70 million during the quarter and represented more than 30% of net new ARR additions. More than 65% of customer migrations incorporated an AI-powered solution, while the AI-driven sales pipeline has more than doubled since the company held its analyst day event in June 2026.
Current customers who integrated an AI-powered solution expanded their annual spending by more than 60%—a metric that underscores the value proposition of these offerings.
Chief Executive Officer Mark McClain emphasized that the company is “unifying human and agentic identity under one control plane” and positioned SailPoint as an organization that is “redefining security for the AI era.”
Looking ahead to the third quarter, SailPoint issued revenue guidance of $326 million to $330 million. The $328 million midpoint trails the $328.5 million analyst consensus by a narrow margin. However, ARR guidance of $1.288 billion to $1.292 billion exceeded the Street’s $1.28 billion expectation.
BTIG analyst Gray Powell maintained a Buy rating on the shares following the quarterly report, characterizing it as “a good report, with few surprises” while noting the firm’s estimates remain under evaluation.
TD Cowen similarly upheld its Buy rating while maintaining a $22 price objective, suggesting approximately 24% potential upside from prevailing levels.
Jefferies continues to recommend the stock with a Buy rating and $23 price target. Cantor Fitzgerald retained its Overweight stance while lifting its target to $25. Truist confirmed its Buy rating with an $18 objective. RBC Capital maintained an Outperform rating alongside a $19 target.
The company recently completed its acquisition of Entro Security, a specialist in non-human identity and credentials security, and intends to integrate Entro’s capabilities into its broader platform.
Management reiterated its fiscal 2029 strategic objectives: achieving $2.1 billion in ARR, delivering at least $800 million in AI-driven ARR, maintaining adjusted operating margins of at least 22%, and generating a minimum of $400 million in free cash flow.
The company’s market capitalization presently sits at $10.09 billion.
