GTLB delivered strong Q1 results with revenue of $264.2M (+23% Y/Y) beating consensus by $9.6M and non-GAAP EPS of $0.23 exceeding expectations by $0.03. Non-GAAP operating margin expanded 200 bps to 14%, reflecting meaningful profitability improvement from 12% in the prior year. However, customer metrics showed deceleration with customers above $5K ARR growing 7% Y/Y and those above $100K ARR up 18%, both slower than prior quarter, while dollar-based net retention declined 100 bps sequentially to 117%. Management detailed its restructuring plan involving a 14% workforce reduction of 350 employees and exiting 22 countries, expecting $30-35M in pre-tax charges with $19M anticipated in Q2. The company guided FY 27 revenue of $1,112-1,118M above consensus and non-GAAP EPS of $0.79-0.82, also beating Street estimates. Strong cash generation continued with operating cash flow of $149.2M (+40% Y/Y) and the company repurchased 2.4M shares during the quarter.

Research Alert: Ulta: Q1 Comps Accelerate And Margins Expand; Guidance Raised

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:ULTA's Q1 results beat expectations with revenue of $3.16B (+11.1% Y/Y) and EPS of $7.74 (+15.5%), driven by comp acceleration to +5.3% vs +2.9% prior and gross margin expansion of 100bp to 40.1%. The comp growth was balanced between +3.7% average ticket and +1.6% transaction growth, supporting the turnaround thesis alongside operational improvements including lower shrink and better merchandise margins. Management raised operating income guidance to 6.5% from 6% and EPS guidance to $28.36-$28.80 from $28.05-$28.55, while maintaining unchanged top-line expectations. This implies margin gains are proving durable with a clear path to earnings growth without accelerating revenue assumptions. FY comp guidance of +2.5% to +3.5% appears conservative relative to Q1's +5.3% print, leaving upside potential if trends persist. The combination of operational momentum, shrink improvement as a tailwind, and capital returns including $555M in Q1 repurchases supports the case for multiple stability or expansion.

Research Alert: Earnings Preview: CFRA Maintains Buy Opinion On Shares Of Broadcom

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We raise our 12-month target price to $525 from $428, on P/E of about 28x our CY 27 EPS view. We keep our FY 26 EPS at $11.46 but raise FY 27 to $18.66 from $16.20. AVGO is set to report Apr-Q results after the close on 6/3. We see revenue of $22.1B (+47.5%) and EPS of $2.40, on 76% growth in semiconductors (2/3 of revenue) and 9% in Software. All eyes will be on AI revenue, seen at $10.7B (+140% Y/Y; 72% of semi sales) and now nearly half of total revenue, as custom ASIC/XPU shipments to Alphabet, Meta, and others accelerate alongside networking solutions featuring Tomahawk 6 Ethernet switches. We believe AVGO is gaining share as customers increasingly select custom silicon for workload optimization. We see gross margin largely stable at 77% and a 68% adjusted EBITDA margin. Our focus will center on AVGO's outlook, as investors look for a big step up in sales for the Jul-Q (sales of $28.5B or +79% Y/Y), along with prior commentary that cited an ambitious $100B cumulative AI chip revenue target through 2027.
