8x8 (ISIN US2829141009) was trading at EUR 1.93 at Lang & Schwarz on October 7, 2026 at 8:23 a.m. CEST, while its latest customer case points to a 50.00 percent reduction in communications costs. On September 30, 2026, 8x8 reported that Australian retailer Doors Plus had consolidated its communications operations on the 8x8 Platform for CX and halved recurring communications costs.

Customer savings add operating proof

The Doors Plus deployment covers 22 retail locations and combines 8x8 Contact Center, 8x8 Engage and 8x8 Work. The company said the project also removed recurring support issues that had occurred three to four times per week, giving the customer reference a measurable operating outcome.

The case matters because 8x8 is shifting its growth story toward a unified platform with contact center, communications and application programming interface products. Doors Plus moved from two platforms to one, while 8x8 said the implementation was completed in three months.

Revenue grows while margins narrow

In the first quarter of fiscal 2027, total revenue reached USD 190.17 million, up 4.90 percent year over year, while service revenue was USD 185.30 million, also up 5.10 percent. Those figures came from 8x8 in its September 9, 2026 filing.

The same filing showed a GAAP operating margin of 2.30 percent, non-GAAP operating margin of 9.90 percent and USD 17.00 million of operating cash flow for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Cash, equivalents and restricted cash totaled USD 92.00 million, while the business recorded a USD 1.20 million GAAP net loss.

Platform usage revenue, including cloud communications and artificial intelligence solutions, grew 63.00 percent year over year and represented 26.00 percent of service revenue. The mix supports growth, but the lower-margin usage business also places pressure on reported gross margins.

Analyst target stays above market

According to MarketBeat on September 10, 2026, Rosenblatt Securities reaffirmed a Buy rating and set a USD 3.00 price target. MarketBeat also reported a Hold consensus and an average target of USD 3.12, alongside a USD 3.25 target from B. Riley Financial and a Sell rating from Weiss Ratings.

For investors, the operating debate is therefore two-sided: customer adoption and usage revenue are expanding, while margin pressure and a quarterly GAAP loss remain visible in the latest reported period. The September customer case supplies a concrete proof point for the platform strategy, but the financial model still depends on converting usage growth into higher operating profit.
