Atlassian Sinks 12% as Slower Growth Outlook Overshadows Beat: “Enterprise AI Has Hit an Inflection Point”
Atlassian (TEAM) shares fell 12% after guiding to 13.75% revenue growth for fiscal 2027, down from 24% last quarter. The slowdown is partly due to the planned wind-down of its Data Center software. The company beat earnings estimates for Q1, with revenue up 24% to $1.77 billion and adjusted EPS of $1.65. Analysts note the stock's P/E ratio is now 28x, below its 5-year average of 81x.
