Extreme Networks Inc

Extreme Networks, Inc. was a top contributor in the second quarter, delivering its fifth consecutive quarter of double-digit revenue growth. For the fiscal third quarter ended March 31, 2026, the company reported net revenues of $316.9 million, up 11.4% year-over-year, and non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.26, both ahead of consensus expectations. SaaS Annual Recurring Revenue grew 28.6% year-over-year to $236.4 million, reflecting deepening adoption of the company's AI-driven cloud networking platform. We believe the ongoing Wi-Fi 7 hardware refresh cycle, continued SaaS ARR compounding, and management's proactive resolution of supply chain constraints position Extreme well for continued share gains.

Extreme Networks, Inc. (EXTR) is positioned as one of the top three players in the enterprise networking industry, with potential for low double-digit revenue growth and market share gains. The company differentiates itself through its fabric-based architecture, which is ideal for distributed environments, making it attractive to sectors like education, healthcare, and industrial facilities. Additionally, EXTR's customer experience and ease of doing business are significant advantages over larger competitors like Cisco and HPE, which focus more on datacenter-centric designs. This competitive edge supports our conviction in EXTR's growth potential.

Extreme Networks, Inc. (EXTR) was a new addition to the Small Cap strategy in the first quarter of 2025. Extreme Networks is one of the top 3 players in the networking industry. We believe EXTR has the opportunity to grow revenues in the low double-digit range and disrupt the industry due to product, distribution, and pricing advantages. EXTR’s opportunity for growth may also come due to Cisco’s and HP’s reputably poor customer service, and because both of the large players are currently distracted by the integration of large acquisitions. One of EXTR’s growth strategies is to dis-aggregate hardware sales from service and support relationships, which can represent big savings for the customer. We believe that the company can grow the top line in the low double-digits and improve operating margins as they increase the mix of cloud-based, recurring revenues with higher margins.
