Stocks added to their losses after the August MNI Chicago PMI fell more than expected and after the University of Michigan's US August consumer sentiment index was unexpectedly revised lower. Also, inflation pressures remain sticky after the US July core PCE price index, the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, rose by the most in five months.
On the positive side for stocks, US consumer demand remains resilient after July personal spending rose by the most in four months. Also, the University of Michigan's inflation expectations were unexpectedly revised lower. In addition, dovish comments from Fed Governor Waller and San Francisco Fed President Daly were bullish for stocks as they signaled their support for Fed rate cuts.
US July personal spending rose +0.5% m/m, the most in four months, and right on expectations. July personal income rose +0.4% m/m, right on expectations.
The US July core PCE price index, the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, rose to a 5-month high of +2.9% y/y from +2.8% y/y in June, right on expectations but well above the Fed's 2% inflation target.
The US Aug MNI Chicago PMI fell -5.6 to 41.5, weaker than expectations of 46.0.
The University of Michigan's Aug US consumer sentiment index was revised lower by -0.4 to 58.2, weaker than expectations of no change at 58.6.

Late Thursday, Fed Governor Christopher Waller stated that he supports a 25-bp rate cut at the September FOMC meeting and anticipates additional rate cuts over the next three to six months. He said, "With underlying inflation close to 2%, market-based measures of longer-term inflation expectations firmly anchored, and the chances of an undesirable weakening in the labor market increased, proper risk management means the FOMC should be cutting the policy rate now."
San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly signaled she's open to lower interest rates soon, saying, "It will soon be time to recalibrate policy to better match our economy." She added that tariff-related price increases "will be a one-off" and it "will take time before we know that for certain, but we can't wait for perfect certainty without risking harm to the labor market."
Regarding tariffs, President Trump on Monday threatened to impose new tariffs and export restrictions on advanced technology and semiconductors in retaliation against other nations' digital services taxes that hit American companies.

The change went into effect last Monday and did not exclude goods already in transit.
In other recent tariff news, Mr. Trump on August 13 extended the tariff truce with China for another 90 days until November. On August 6, Mr. Trump announced that he will double tariffs on US imports from India to 50% from the current 25% tariff, due to India's purchases of Russian oil.

Losses in T-notes were limited after Fed Governor Christopher Waller said he supports a 25 bp rate cut at the September FOMC meeting and anticipates additional rate cuts over the next three to six months. Also, the University of Michigan's Aug inflation expectations were revised lower, a dovish factor for Fed policy.
European government bond yields on Friday moved higher. The 10-year German bund yield rose +2.9 bp to 2.724%. 10-year UK gilt yield rose +2.2 bp to 4.722%.

Stocks Settle Lower as Tech Shares Selloff

Key Points
The cybersecurity specialist unveiled its latest quarterly earnings report in the morning.
It showed double-digit growth in several key line items.
A well-received quarterly earnings report was the news propelling SentinelOne's (NYSE: S) shares higher on Friday. In late-session trading the cybersecurity stock was up nearly 7% in value, a rate that looked particularly good given the S&P 500 index's 0.7% dip.
A $1 billion quarter
SentinelOne's second quarter of fiscal 2026 saw the company book just over $242 million in revenue for a rather impressive 22% improvement year over year. Zooming out some, annualized recurring revenue (ARR) rose by 24% to $1 billion, the first time it has reached the 10-figure level.

The company also pointed out that the number of clients with ARR of $100,000 or more increased by 24%, to a total of 1,513.
On the bottom line, non-GAAP (adjusted) net income more than tripled, to $13.2 million ($0.04 per share), from the year-ago result of $3.5 million.
SentinelOne essentially met the consensus analyst estimate for revenue. It did edge past the average pundit forecast for adjusted net profit, which was $0.03 per share.
In its earnings release, SentinelOne attributed the improvements to its integration of technologies that resonate with clients, including artificial intelligence (AI).
It quoted CEO Tomer Weingarten as saying that its "results highlight the momentum of our AI-powered platform, strengthening competitive position, and growing product differentiation."
In-line revenue guidance
SentinelOne also proffered guidance for both its current (third) quarter and the entirety of fiscal 2026. For the latter period, it's forecasting revenue of $998 million to slightly over $1 billion, with adjusted operating margin landing at 3%. The consensus analyst estimate for revenue is slightly under $999 million.
The company did not provide any bottom-line guidance.

Stocks Decline on Weakness in Tech Stocks and Sticky Inflation Pressures

SentinelOne (NYSE:S) reported fiscal second quarter ended July 31, 2025, results on August 28, 2025, delivering 24% year-over-year (YoY) annual recurring revenue (ARR) growth to surpass $1 billion (non-GAAP), 22% YoY revenue growth to $242 million, with an industry-leading 79% gross margin. Management raised full-year revenue guidance for the fiscal year ending Jan. 31, 2026, to $998 million to $1.002 billion (non-GAAP) and highlighted the approximately $180 million acquisition of Prompt Security, expected to close in the fiscal third quarter ending Oct. 31, 2025, to expand into GenAI security and data loss prevention (DLP).
Record ARR and platform traction drive outperformance
Net new ARR (non-GAAP) exceeded internal expectations by approximately 40%, with both new logo acquisition and existing customer expansion each contributing roughly half of growth (non-GAAP), alongside a 23% year-over-year increase in customers with ARR above $100,000 (non-GAAP). Non-endpoint products such as Purple AI, AI SIEM (Security Information and Event Management), and data solutions represented about 50% of total quarterly bookings (non-GAAP). This indicates successful platform diversification.
"Our total ARR grew 24% and crossed $1 billion, a significant milestone in our growth journey. We also achieved a record second quarter net new ARR reflecting positive year-over-year growth of over 20% and a strong uptick in new business generation. That's a clear reflection of our team's execution, business momentum, and rising demand for SentinelOne's AI-powered cybersecurity. Our fiscal second quarter performance was broad-based, with strong contributions from new customer additions, expansion with existing accounts, and increased adoption of our AI and data solutions. These results underscore our stronger competitive position and growing product differentiation. We continue to maintain a top-tier growth profile while driving operating leverage. Following a strong fiscal second quarter outperformance, we're raising our full-year revenue outlook while remaining prudent in our assumptions for the second half given a dynamic macro backdrop."
-- Tomer Weingarten, CEO
This momentum signals a tangible business mix shift and validates SentinelOne's strategy to drive high-margin, multiproduct expansion within both new and existing enterprise accounts (non-GAAP). This supports increased operating leverage and durability of growth.
SentinelOne Flex shifts consumption model, fuels larger deals
Launched in the fiscal second quarter ended July 31, 2025, SentinelOne Flex yielded its first eight-figure total contract value (TCV) platform deal, enabling customers to dynamically access the full suite of nearly 30 modular solutions, with early adoption by mid- and large-sized organizations looking to scale security investment efficiently. Flex is expected to support deal size growth, increase average contract duration, and streamline procurement for renewals and new logos, with Prompt Security being added to the available product set.
"We've also launched SentinelOne Flex, a major step forward in how customers adopt the Singularity platform. It's a unified flexible licensing model that gives organizations the agility to manage entitlements, seamlessly deploy new platform capabilities, and drive greater return on their security investments. Flex provides customers with full access to the entire Singularity platform, enhancing our opportunity to expand our footprint across customer environments. The reception for Flex is outstanding, with an 8-figure total deal value validating the model and many customers and prospects choosing the new structure. It enables our team to land bigger deals with higher efficiency and expand with greater velocity."
-- Tomer Weingarten, CEO
This augments the long-term value per customer and enhances sales pipeline visibility.
Expanding AI-native platform with Prompt Security acquisition
The $180 million acquisition of Prompt Security, expected to close in the fiscal third quarter ending Oct. 31, 2025, provides SentinelOne with proprietary capabilities for runtime GenAI governance, endpoint-based data protection, and DLP, directly addressing urgent enterprise risks around uncontrolled AI usage and shadow IT. Prompt's technology integrates natively into the Singularity platform, targeting both endpoint (SOC and DLP teams) and cloud security buyers and positions SentinelOne as an early mover in GenAI security as adoption accelerates across industries.
"To extend our innovation lead and further differentiate our AI-powered platform, we also announced the acquisition of Prompt Security, a pioneer in securing generative AI at runtime, preventing GenAI-related data leakage, and delivering security for AI agents. GenAI adoption is exploding across all industries, which brings a new class of risks and exposure. As GenAI and agentic AI fundamentally reshape how businesses operate, new risks are emerging around visibility, compliance, data leakage, and control. Prompt Security enhances the Singularity platform with the ability to monitor, govern, and control GenAI usage in the enterprise. These are critical capabilities that every CIO and CISO is now prioritizing."
-- Tomer Weingarten, CEO
This move opens an incremental total addressable market (TAM), fortifies SentinelOne’s claim to AI-native security leadership, and creates the foundation for upside as GenAI and DLP compliance requirements proliferate in the enterprise segment.
Looking Ahead
Management guided fiscal third quarter ending Oct. 31, 2025, revenue (non-GAAP) to $256 million (22% YoY growth), with full-year revenue (non-GAAP, fiscal year ending Jan. 31, 2026) now expected in the $998 million to $1.002 billion range (22% YoY), gross margin of 78.5% to 79% for the full year, and full-year operating margin (non-GAAP) of approximately 3%, including an 80 basis point dilution from the Prompt Security acquisition. Management maintains expectations for positive full-year free cash flow and operating profit, and expects the Prompt acquisition to close in the fiscal third quarter ending Oct. 31, 2025, with minimal fiscal year ending Jan. 31, 2026, revenue impact but a strategic position for long-term growth in the GenAI security market.

SentinelOne ARR Tops 1 Billion in Q2

SentinelOne (S) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.04 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.03 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.01 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +33.33%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this cybersecurity provider would post earnings of $0.02 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.02, delivering no surprise.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.
SentinelOne, which belongs to the Zacks Security industry, posted revenues of $242.18 million for the quarter ended July 2025, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.07%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $198.94 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
SentinelOne shares have lost about 22.8% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 10.2%.
What's Next for SentinelOne?
While SentinelOne has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for SentinelOne was unfavorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to underperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.06 on $254.15 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $0.20 on $996.62 million in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Security is currently in the top 35% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
Another stock from the same industry, Zscaler (ZS), has yet to report results for the quarter ended July 2025. The results are expected to be released on September 2.
This cloud-based information security provider is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.80 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -9.1%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
Zscaler's revenues are expected to be $706.23 million, up 19.1% from the year-ago quarter.

Understanding SentinelOne: What the Company Does and Where It’s Focusing
SentinelOne delivers cybersecurity software that uses artificial intelligence to identify and respond to threats in real time. Its core product is the Singularity Platform, an AI-driven suite that autonomously protects cloud, endpoint, and data environments. The platform relies on several AI models for threat detection and rapid incident response without the need for human intervention.
The company’s recent strategy has emphasized broadening platform functionality, expanding into international markets, and deepening penetration among existing customers. Key success factors include AI differentiation, expanding recurring revenue through large enterprise clients, and maintaining operational efficiency as it grows. With cybersecurity threats becoming more complex, market expansion and product integration remain central to its ongoing strategy.
Quarter Highlights: Revenue, Customer Growth, and Platform Progress
SentinelOne's revenue (GAAP) increased 22% to $242.2 million, meeting internal guidance. This reflects not only ongoing demand for its AI-driven cybersecurity platform but also the company’s ability to attract larger customers. Annualized recurring revenue, a measure of predictable, subscription-based sales, surpassed $1.0 billion for the first time. The company also reported that customers generating $100,000 or more in annual recurring revenue grew 23% to 1,513.
The company's non-GAAP operating margin swung from negative to positive, improving from (3%) in the prior year to 2%. Non-GAAP earnings per share climbed to $0.04. On the other hand, free cash flow margin held steady at (3%), as cash generation remained a challenge. GAAP profitability remains elusive, as the company continues to book sizable GAAP losses after accounting for non-cash expenses such as stock-based compensation. Operating cash flow, while flat for the quarter, shows some improvement on a trailing twelve-month basis.
Platform adoption remains a business focus, with ongoing investment in AI—particularly in its AI-powered cybersecurity platform and increasing automation across endpoint, cloud, and data security modules. The release did not detail new product launches or major partnerships this quarter, and cited "robust growth and platform adoption". Competition and lengthening sales cycles were once again mentioned as risks, though no new adverse developments were highlighted.
Share repurchases continued as part of the company’s buyback program. Stock-based compensation (GAAP) rose year over year.
Business, Product, and Customer Context
SentinelOne positions itself around AI-driven security, automating the detection and response to cyber threats across client devices, cloud services, and data storage. Its Singularity Platform, encompassing cloud security, data protection, and endpoint defense solutions, aims to offer a unified approach to cybersecurity. The firm’s focus on AI—citing “relentless focus on innovations unifying AI, data, and security”—aligns with broader enterprise trends requiring rapid response to evolving digital threats.
Customer metrics showed solid progress this period, with the number of clients spending over $100,000 in annual recurring revenue rising to 1,513.
Looking Ahead: Management Outlook and What to Watch
For the third quarter, management forecasts revenue of $256 million. The company raised its full-year revenue outlook to between $998 million and $1.002 billion. Expected non-GAAP gross margin is guided to 78.5% to 79%, with a projected 4% non-GAAP operating margin for the third quarter. Management reaffirmed its commitment to achieving full-year operating profitability and positive free cash flow.
While strong top-line growth and customer traction continued, growth rates have moderated compared to earlier years. Investors will likely focus in future quarters on the sustainability of large customer additions, whether improvements in profitability can be achieved alongside growth, and if free cash flow can turn consistently positive. Persistent GAAP losses and high stock-based compensation remain issues to watch as the company matures and strives for long-term profitability.
Revenue and net income presented using U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) unless otherwise noted.
