The figure exceeded the USD 122.19 million consensus estimate, while adjusted earnings per share came in at USD 0.26 versus USD 0.16 expected.
Revenue beats expectations
The revenue comparison produced a USD 1.66 million beat, equal to 1.36 percent above consensus. The adjusted earnings-per-share comparison was wider at USD 0.10, or 62.50 percent above the USD 0.16 estimate.
MarketBeat reported that Sprout Social set fiscal 2026 adjusted earnings-per-share guidance at USD 1.110-1.150 and third-quarter 2026 guidance at USD 0.290-0.300.

Analyst targets stay divided
MarketBeat reported on October 3, 2026 that nine ratings firms held a Hold consensus, with two sell ratings, three hold ratings, three buy ratings and one strong-buy rating. The average 12-month target was USD 10.43.
Barclays raised its target from USD 9.00 to USD 12.00 on August 11, 2026, while Morgan Stanley lifted its target from USD 10.00 to USD 11.00 on August 13, 2026, according to MarketBeat. The target range shows why the Hold consensus matters: the highest cited target is USD 12.00, while the average remains USD 10.43.
What the earnings beat means
Sprout Social's second-quarter revenue growth provides a stronger operating signal than the adjusted earnings-per-share comparison alone, but the negative net margin keeps the earnings quality under scrutiny. The company describes its platform as social media management and analytics software covering publishing, engagement, customer care, influencer marketing and business intelligence, according to its investor relations page.
