Second-quarter revenue beats expectations

According to MarketBeat on October 6, 2026, NICE reported revenue of USD 782.29 million in the second quarter of 2026, up 7.70 percent from the prior-year quarter. The figure exceeded the consensus estimate of USD 766.27 million, giving investors a measurable operating counterweight to concerns about artificial intelligence disruption.

The same report said quarterly earnings per share reached USD 2.70, compared with consensus of USD 2.63. NICE also set fiscal 2026 earnings-per-share guidance at USD 11.06-11.26 and third-quarter 2026 guidance at USD 2.73-2.83.

Upgrade meets a Hold consensus

MarketBeat said 15 firms carried a consensus Hold rating, with eight Buy ratings, six Holds and one Sell. The average 12-month target was USD 132.23, while Oppenheimer's USD 150.00 target stood above that average and reflected its more constructive view of AI demand.

TradingView cited record AI bookings in the second quarter and said AI and self-service annual recurring revenue reached USD 362 million, up 52.00 percent year over year. That figure is a useful marker for the strategy, because NICE is presenting AI adoption as a growth engine while its broader quarterly revenue grew 7.70 percent.
