Axon opened 2026 with its strongest first quarter on record, posting revenue of $807 million, up 34% year-over-year and ahead of consensus estimates, marking nine consecutive quarters of 30%-plus growth. The breadth of the beat is arguably more important than the headline: U.S. public safety, international, and enterprise each set first-quarter bookings records, and future contracted bookings rose 44% year-over-year to $14.3 billion. Management raised full-year revenue guidance to 30%-32% growth while holding adjusted EBITDA margin guidance at 25.5%, signaling confidence that operating leverage will materialize in the second half even as the company absorbs deliberate inventory investment and tariff-related component cost pressure.
