Summary
$250 million of Atlassian shares will be repurchased on the open market, a move announced after two quarters that eased fears AI would undermine its SaaS model.
$1.77 billion in fourth-quarter revenue beat Wall Street's $1.66 billion estimate, while GAAP profit reached $139.1 million versus a $23.9 million loss a year earlier.
Rovo is driving that strength: annual recurring revenue from adopters is growing twice as fast as from non-Rovo customers, and Cisco said Rovo-based agents made some reporting workflows 40 times faster.
350,000-plus enterprise customers give Atlassian a deep data base for AI context; the company says agents grounded in its ecosystem deliver 44% more accurate answers using 48% fewer tokens.
166% from its April low, Atlassian shares have already rebounded sharply, yet the stock still trades at 5.9 times sales versus a three-year average of 10.2.
