AI and market outlook
AI workloads add telemetry, logs, traces, metrics and complexity, lifting observability platform consumption and overall market growth.
Observability is expanding from software resilience to AI reliability, including AI and LLM observability and evaluations of answer accuracy.
Customers using the platform for LLM workloads or agentic workflows consume at 2x the rate of other customers; management expects this cohort and consumption growth to increase in calendar 2027.
Consumption growth is in the 20s versus ARR growth of ~16%; management sees scope for ARR growth to converge with consumption as expansion activity follows, with a timing lag.
Growth and execution
Organic net new ARR growth accelerated from low single digits in FY25 to 12% in FY26; FY27 guidance midpoint implies mid-teens growth excluding acquisitions, with the high end in the high teens.
Large enterprise new-logo deals are a growth lever; roughly one-third of net new ARR is expected from new logos, with deal timing creating quarterly variability.
In the next 12–18 months, NRR of 109–110 could rise through execution of expansions; gross retention is in the mid-90s.
Expansion risk includes customers taking smaller top-ups or delaying them within multiyear contracts; management sees substantial unpenetrated opportunity across 4,000 customers and views execution, not market availability, as the key test.
Budgets and second-half cadence
Tool consolidation offers budget-constrained customers lower software costs and more efficient operations; replacing legacy log providers is another cost-saving sales play.
Q2 net new ARR was lighter than expected due to deal slippage, not demand; 70% of annual renewals fall in H2, with 65% of H2 renewals in Q4 and 35% in Q3.
Net new ARR seasonality has historically been 48% in H1 and 52% in H2; guidance is modestly more Q4-weighted, though early customer expansions could create Q3 upside.
