Security and Cloud Infrastructure Drive Revenue Growth
Security solutions revenue increased 10% year-over-year, led by API security, web application, and Guardicore segmentation products. Cloud infrastructure services revenue surged 39%, driven by compute solutions and partner programs. Delivery revenue declined 6% due to continued pricing pressure and traffic optimization by customers.
Rising Infrastructure Costs Compress Margins
Cost of revenue rose 14% year-over-year, with network build-out and supporting services up 28%, co-location costs up 14%, and bandwidth fees up 17%. Management expects further cost increases in the remainder of 2026 due to hyperscaler-driven price hikes for servers, memory, and co-location.
Stock-Based Compensation Increases Due to New Benefits
Stock-based compensation expense increased across all functions, partly due to a new retirement benefit that reduced the service period for eligible employees, and from achievement of performance-based compensation targets.
