Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
Strong Q1 results with 11% top-line growth, robust FCF generation, and expanded RPO/cRPO indicate durable demand and favorable free-cash-flow dynamics. The shift to a 21% non-GAAP tax rate boosts profitability, while FY27 guidance implies continued growth and healthy margins. Historically, such combinations of revenue growth, backlog expansion, and better tax treatment tend to support multiple expansion in cloud/software names.
