This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on March 5, 2026 at 2:01 pmNutanix, Inc., an active player in hybrid multicloud computing, announced financial results for its second quarter ended January 31, 2026.
“Our business performed solidly in the second quarter, including strong bookings, strong new logo additions, and solid free cash flow performance,” said Rajiv Ramaswami, CEO, Nutanix. “Our opportunities with AI, modern applications, hybrid multicloud, and support for external storage provide us with a strong foundation for multi-year growth.”
“We saw healthy demand in our second quarter, as reflected in results that exceeded the high end of the range for all of our guided metrics. However, as the quarter progressed, we saw supply chain constraints driving longer server lead times for our customers,” said Rukmini Sivaraman, CFO, Nutanix. “We expect this dynamic to have some impact on the timing of our near-term revenue and free cash flow. We have factored this in our Q3 and updated full-year guidance. Bookings expectations are higher than before. Revenue and free cash flow from these bookings are expected to be realized later.”
