8x8 Q3: Strong Execution Amid Lingering Structural Challenges
Summary 8x8's Q3 results exceeded the guidance ranges for top and bottom-line metrics, driven by higher revenue and lower expenses. Usage-based revenue, which includes its AI offerings, is a key growth driver, but it is putting pressure on gross margins. I see low single-digit underlying growth for FY27, with upside likely coming from stronger-than-expected uptake of its AI offerings and sustained growth in Asia. EGHT's net debt stood at $235 million, but with roughly $44 million in unlevered FCF expected for FY27, it can likely be refinanced next year. EGHT stock remains a Hold.

8x8: Fundamentals Need To Improve A Bit More
Summary I maintain a neutral rating on 8x8 due to minimal catalysts and moderate to high-risk factors, despite recent profitability improvements. EGHT's Q3 2025 fundamentals remain weak, missing revenue estimates and showing stagnant growth, though positive net profitability and operating cash flow are notable highlights. Key focus areas for potential upside include further profitability improvements and debt reduction, but competition and execution challenges pose significant risks. My FY 2026 target price of $2.82 suggests a mere 1.2% upside, indicating that the potential reward does not justify the investment risk.

8x8: Further Upside Hinges On A Return To Sustained Organic Growth
Summary 8x8 up over 35% following better than expected Q2 results. While revenue continues to decline, margins are improving, leading to strong FCF generation which alleviates concerns related to its high debt load. A return to organic growth depends on the continued success of cross-selling its newer product offerings, as headwinds from the loss of legacy product customers diminish. Despite the recent positive developments, I stay with my Hold rating on EGHT due to the persistent risks I see. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaAnalysis Article • Nov 07
