Operating Expense Breakdown
Details core costs like R&D, marketing, and admin, offering insight into how efficiently the company runs and where it’s prioritizing investment.All three expense lines spike in the most recent quarter, reflecting acquisition-related charges, elevated stock‑based compensation and a deliberate ramp in sales and R&D to scale AI/security products and integrate CyberArk/Chronosphere; management frames these as largely transitional and still raised FY26 guidance with stronger margins and free‑cash‑flow, so near‑term pressure may be absorbed by outsized revenue leverage—but expect FY27 to reflect a full year of acquisition costs, making sustainable margin improvement contingent on continued top‑line strength.
