Fortinet (ISIN US34959E1091) was trading at EUR 166.00 at Lang & Schwarz on October 6, 2026 at 11:44 a.m. CEST, up 1.37 percent from the EUR 163.76 prior close. The company guides for fiscal 2026 revenue of USD 8.02 billion to USD 8.18 billion, according to Zacks on September 10, 2026.

Revenue growth supports the outlook

Fortinet's second-quarter 2026 revenue increased 26.00 percent year over year to USD 2.05 billion, while product revenue grew 52.00 percent to USD 773.00 million. Billings rose 33.00 percent to USD 2.37 billion, according to Yahoo Finance in the second-quarter 2026 earnings call transcript.

The quarterly figures give the guidance a measurable operating base. Fortinet expects fiscal 2026 billings of USD 9.35 billion to USD 9.55 billion, service revenue of USD 5.18 billion to USD 5.22 billion and non-GAAP earnings per share of USD 3.41 to USD 3.47.

AI security remains the growth engine

The same transcript shows Fortinet's SASE Firewall business growing 34.00 percent in the second quarter of 2026 to more than USD 2.00 billion. Service revenue reached USD 1.27 billion, up 14.00 percent year over year, while service billings increased 26.00 percent.

That mix matters because the company is converting hardware demand into recurring services. Management also reported non-GAAP operating margin of 38.00 percent and GAAP earnings per share of USD 0.82 in the second quarter of 2026, giving investors two separate measures of profitability as the product cycle accelerates.

October results set the next test

Fortinet's investor-relations calendar schedules the third-quarter 2026 earnings announcement for October 28, 2026 at 4:30 p.m. EDT, as shown on the company's investor-relations page. The release will test whether the USD 2.01 billion to USD 2.10 billion quarterly revenue outlook is tracking the raised full-year range.

For market context, the Nasdaq-listed company had a market capitalization of USD 135.1 billion and a 52-week range of USD 73.55 to USD 184.61 as of October 5, 2026. The primary-exchange figures place Fortinet near the upper end of its yearly range, while the euro quote reflects the separate Lang & Schwarz trading session in Germany.
