Appian Q2 2026 results show strong ARR growth and raised full-year outlook

Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

Appian delivered meaningful top-line growth and a robust ARR metric, plus a clear path to profitability on a non-GAAP basis and raised guidance for both quarterly and full-year 2026. The combination of 115% ARR expansion, double-digit cloud revenue growth, and positive cash flow improves visibility on recurrent revenue, which can drive a near-term re-rating, especially if consensus views trend higher on the back of the strong 3Q/2026 outlook.
