Strategic Performance Drivers

Our analysts just identified a stock with the potential to be the next Nvidia. Tell us how you invest and we'll show you why it's our #1 pick. Tap here.

• Revenue growth accelerated to 29% year-over-year, driven by a record $93 million in incremental ARR and a 214% increase in spend from $1 million-plus customers.

• Management attributes the growth to a 'valuemaxxing' market shift, where AI-native companies prioritize the right model at the right cost over simply maximizing token consumption.

• The AI-native flywheel is emerging as a primary growth engine, with 70% of high-spend AI customers attaching core cloud products like databases and storage to their AI workloads.

• Inference services grew nearly 800% year-over-year, serving as a high-margin entry point that pulls customers deeper into the integrated full-stack platform.

• Open weight models now represent 75% of token volume, up from 15% at launch, validating the strategy of providing a production runtime for open-source intelligence.

• Operational discipline enabled the early launch of Richmond and Kansas City data centers, with capacity largely pre-allocated to specific customers or the internal token fleet.

• Strategic pricing adjustments, including a 30% increase on certain GPU fleets, reflect high demand and the flexibility of the consumption-based business model.

Outlook and Strategic Roadmap

• Full-year 2026 revenue guidance raised to approximately 30% growth, with an expected exit growth rate of 35% or more by the fourth quarter.

• Management expressed increased conviction in achieving 50% plus revenue growth for the full year 2027, supported by current momentum and incremental capacity.

• Secured 20 megawatts of additional capacity for late 2027 and 2028, bringing total committed capacity to approximately 155 megawatts.

• Future growth assumes the continued transition of AI workloads from human-prompted to agent-driven, which increases demand for integrated data and compute services.

• Guidance reflects a disciplined investment approach, aiming to maintain 39% adjusted EBITDA margins while scaling the go-to-market and engineering teams.

Structural and Risk Factors

• Retired $472 million of 2030 convertible notes in July to reduce leverage and free up capacity for future growth investments with minimal cash impact.

• Remaining Performance Obligations (RPO) surged to $894 million, up over 12x year-over-year, providing significantly improved revenue visibility.

• Management noted that while supply chain challenges persist across the industry, they are currently meeting or exceeding deployment timelines.

• Net Dollar Retention (NDR) will no longer be highlighted as a key metric, as management believes it no longer accurately reflects the growth driven by high-spend AI cohorts.

Q&A Insights

Scaling operations for large flagship customers and 9-figure commitments

• Management is scaling through 'forward deployed engineering' rather than just traditional sales, working side-by-side with technical founders on complex workloads.

• The company is leveraging partnerships with top-tier data center operators and chip manufacturers to manage implementation schedules despite industry-wide supply constraints.

Impact of recent GPU pricing increases on revenue growth

• The 30% list price increase had a 'modest' impact on Q2 results but is fully baked into the raised 2026 guidance and 2027 outlook.

• Pricing power is supported by the ability to reallocate capacity from lower-value users to the high-demand 'token factory' or higher-paying customers.

Revenue per megawatt trends and unit economics

• Incremental ARR per megawatt is expected to increase over time as customers adopt higher-layer services beyond bare metal GPUs.

• Higher token throughput from newer hardware generations (NVIDIA/AMD) and increased core cloud attach rates are the primary levers for improving megawatt productivity.

Production status and recurring nature of open weight model traffic

• Management confirmed that the majority of token traffic is production-grade rather than proof-of-concept, driven by sophisticated agentic applications.

• The 'Model Synthesis' feature orchestrates a panel of models in parallel, merging their outputs to deliver frontier-grade quality and optimized intelligence at a fraction of the cost of frontier models.
