Did GTLB Beat Earnings? Q1 2026 Results
GitLab posted a clean beat across the board in its fiscal first quarter of 2026, with <a href="https://247wallst.com/investing/2025/09/03/live-will-gitlab-finally-breakout-after-tonights-earnings-release/">investors watching closely</a> as the DevSecOps platform reported revenue of $214.51 million — up 26.8% year-over-year and just ahead of the $213.21 million consensus — while non-GAAP EPS of $0.17 topped the $0.1521 estimate by 11.77%. The standout story was a dramatic profitability inflection: non-GAAP operating margin expanded to 12% from negative 2% a year ago, driven by improving operating leverage and record free cash flow of $104.10 million. Enterprise traction remained solid, with customers spending over $100,000 in ARR growing 26% year-over-year to 1,288, and dollar-based net retention holding at 122%. Despite results that cleared guidance on every major metric, shares fell roughly 9% as investors weighed modest top-line upside against slower new customer growth and competitive pressure in AI. Looking ahead, GitLab guided Q2 revenue of $226.00–$227.00 million and reaffirmed full-year FY2026 revenue of $936.00–$942.00 million.
