Calix Beats Q1 Estimates, Boosts Buyback to $163M with 15-20% Growth Outlook
Calix reported Q1 2026 revenue of $279.98 million, beating consensus by $2.48 million, with non-GAAP EPS of $0.40, topping expectations by $0.03. The company expanded its share repurchase authorization by $100 million to a total of $163.4 million. Management guided for 15-20% revenue growth in 2026 and announced memory surcharges on products, signaling confidence in pricing power.
The expanded buyback and above-consensus guidance are a double signal — management believes the stock is undervalued and that demand is durable enough to support aggressive capital returns. For investors holding CALX, the 15-20% growth forecast significantly de-risks the position and may attract growth-focused funds. The memory surcharges are a potential margin lever worth watching closely as they flow through future quarters.
Q2 2026 earnings release (exact date TBD, typically ~90 days after Q1): watch for whether the memory surcharges are boosting margins. Any upcoming investor day or guidance update from Calix management.
