▲(11.31% Upside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:08/06/26
The score is driven primarily by solid financial stability (strong balance sheet and profitability recovery) and a constructive earnings call with reaffirmed guidance. These positives are tempered by a rich valuation (high P/E) and mixed technicals showing limited near-term momentum.
Positive Factors
Cloud Recurring Growth
Strong cloud ARR growth indicates increasing adoption of Radware’s recurring security platform and supports a more durable revenue base. Continued expansion in application, API and DDoS protection can deepen customer relationships and improve visibility across future periods.
Negative Factors
Uneven Cash Generation
Recent cash generation is positive overall but lacks consistency, with negative growth and a prior period of operating and free cash flow deficits. Such volatility can constrain internally funded investment and makes execution more important when converting earnings into durable cash returns.

Radware Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Jul 29, 2026
(Q2-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Oct 28, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call presented a predominately constructive operational and commercial picture: order entry, backlog, retail growth, margin expansion in products, record service levels, lean productivity gains, and a strong balance sheet. The company acknowledged manageable near-term headwinds — notably memory cost pressure, elevated inventory that weighed on free cash flow, a one-time tariff benefit, and discrete tax cash payments — and said mitigation actions are underway while reaffirming full-year guidance. Overall, positive execution and solid financial flexibility outweigh the short-term timing and cost challenges, assuming the company converts backlog and reduces inventory as planned.Positive Updates
Order Momentum and Backlog
Order entry increased 3% year-over-year and 6% sequentially; first-half order entry was the highest in 4 years and backlog grew sequentially to $814 million, supporting confidence in the full-year outlook.
Negative Updates
Memory Cost Headwind
Higher memory costs were a headwind of approximately $10 million in the quarter (primarily affecting retail); memory pricing remains uncertain despite sourcing and pricing mitigation actions.

Company Guidance
The company reaffirmed 2026 guidance with full‑year revenue of $3.86–$3.94 billion, adjusted EBITDA of $510–$535 million, free cash flow of $255–$270 million (excluding an expected ~$50 million of higher-than-anticipated cash tax payments related to 2024–2025), and adjusted EPS of $5.25–$5.75 assuming an effective tax rate of 35–40% (with higher tax expected in Q3 vs Q4). Product gross margins are expected to be comparable with prior year while service gross margins should improve up to ~50 basis points; total operating expenses are now expected to decline about 2% for the year. Quarterly cadence: Q3 revenue is expected to be roughly 25% of full year at the midpoint, Q3 gross margin ~25% (ex‑tariff refund), and Q3 adjusted EBITDA ~24% of full year at the midpoint, with Q3 free cash flow broadly similar to Q2 due to elevated inventory and one‑time items. Management expects inventories to remain elevated through Q3 and normalize in Q4, driving a Q4 FCF improvement from approximately $100–$120 million of inventory reductions plus other working capital improvements and annual customer prepayments; ending liquidity was ~>$590 million (cash $282M + $310M revolver) and net leverage ~1.4x, and the company has repurchased ~$60 million of shares (~752k shares) with about $57 million remaining on the $200 million authorization.Radware Financial Statement Overview
