EX ARR grew 23% year-over-year to $567 million, expected to maintain mid-20s growth and surpass $600 million by 2026, anchoring FRSH's growth engine.
Freshworks Inc. is initiated with a buy rating, citing a compelling EX positioning, cheap valuations, robust earnings and FCF growth, and technical momentum.

FY26 EPS guidance was raised by 7-8%, reversing prior expectations of an earnings contraction in FY26, with FY27 EPS growth projected at ~20-28%.
