Oppenheimer signals a wave of renewed support for software stocks, a likely positive catalyst for BRZE and peers. The lack of BRZE-specific numbers means near-term moves depend on sector sentiment and broader tech multiple expansion rather than Braze's fundamentals. If the software rally gains traction, BRZE could re-rate alongside growth software names.
Braze is set to report Q2 after the close on Sept. 8, with consensus EPS of 0.16 and revenue of $220.26 million. Q1 results were mixed, sending BRZE down 3.9% to $31.96. Several major banks have raised BRZE targets and kept Buy/Overweight ratings, signaling confidence in growth and potential upside on a solid print.
Braze reported Q1 earnings of $0.07 per share, missing the $0.10 consensus, while revenue reached $210.999 million, above expectations of $205.179 million. The stock fell about 8.4% in pre-market trading to around $22.52 as investors weighed the earnings miss against the revenue beat. The release offered no forward guidance, leaving near-term outlook uncertain and focused on profitability trajectory.
Braze's fourth-quarter results showcased robust revenue growth of 28%, though it missed earnings expectations. The company's strong outlook for FY 2027 and a substantial share buyback program could bolster investor sentiment in the near term.
Braze beat revenue estimates with $190.84 million for Q3. Fiscal 2026 adjusted EPS guidance raised to 42-43 cents. Subscription revenue rose 24% year-over-year to $181.6 million. Total customer count increased by 14%, with large customers up 29%. Stock price surged 8.12% to $33.14 after earnings release.
