Overview
RingCentral is a cloud communications and contact center platform (UCaaS) provider whose AI-driven products are becoming a meaningful adoption driver; annual recurring revenue from customers using its AI tools nearly doubled year-over-year to almost 10% of ARR, and the stock rallied alongside Five9 in early 2026 as strong earnings quelled broader AI-disruption concerns about legacy SaaS. Q1 2026 revenue reached $644 million, up about 5% year-over-year, with GAAP operating margin hitting a record 7.8%; its RingCX platform's customer base grew 70% year-over-year, and its AI Receptionist product surpassed 11,800 paying customers.
