Overview
A low-code process automation platform whose services revenue jumped significantly in 2026 as enterprise AI deployments increasingly require deep integration work, data governance, and process design -- work that Appian's professional services teams are positioned to capture. Appian raised its full-year 2026 outlook after Q1 2026 EPS of $0.27 topped consensus estimates of $0.19 by $0.08, now guiding to EPS of $0.94-$1.05 and revenue of $819-831 million, both above prior consensus.
