F5 stock (ISIN US3156161024) stood at a closing price of USD 443.06 on Nasdaq on September 25, 2026, giving the company a market capitalization of USD 25.1 billion. The latest quarterly report showed revenue of USD 865.08 million, up 10.9 percent year over year, while adjusted EPS reached USD 4.73.

Revenue reaches USD 865.08 million

According to MarketBeat on September 27, 2026, F5 delivered quarterly EPS of USD 4.73 against a USD 4.00 consensus estimate. Revenue also exceeded the USD 834.60 million consensus estimate, creating a quantified earnings and sales comparison for the quarter announced on July 27, 2026.

The revenue figure was higher than the USD 865.08 million reported for the same quarter in the prior-year comparison? No. MarketBeat states that revenue increased 10.9 percent year over year, while prior-year EPS was USD 4.16. That combination shows that the earnings beat came with both sales growth and higher per-share profit.

Guidance sets the next checkpoint

F5 set fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 EPS guidance at USD 4.14 to USD 4.26 and full-year fiscal 2026 guidance at USD 17.21 to USD 17.33, according to MarketBeat. The ranges give investors a clearer benchmark for the September 2026 quarter than the previous quarter's actual result.

Valuation is the counterweight. MarketBeat listed an average analyst price target of USD 416.62 and a consensus rating of Hold, compared with the September 25 closing price of USD 443.06. The target was USD 26.44 below that reference price, keeping expectations more cautious than the latest operating growth.

Next earnings date approaches

Zacks identifies October 26, 2026, as the expected next earnings release date and lists a consensus EPS estimate of USD 4.24 for the quarter ending September 2026. That report will test whether F5 can convert the latest 10.9 percent revenue growth into results within its stated guidance range.
