Overview

Q1 2026 revenue reached a record $173 million, up 20% year-over-year, with security revenue up 47% to $38.8 million (22% of total revenue); the company raised full-year 2026 guidance to $710-725 million. Its compute segment, primarily edge AI inference and agentic workloads, jumped 67% year-over-year, and Fastly launched ContentGuard in Q1 2026 to protect publisher content from unauthorized AI bot scraping.
