Rapid7 Inc (NASDAQ:RPD) Reports Q2 2025 Earnings: Mixed Results Amid Steady Growth
Rapid7 Inc, a leader in cybersecurity analytics and threat detection, released its second-quarter 2025 financial results, revealing a mixed performance relative to analyst expectations. The company reported revenue of $214.2 million, slightly above the consensus estimate of $214.1 million, reflecting a 3% year-over-year increase. Earnings per share (EPS) came in at $0.58 (non-GAAP), surpassing the estimated $0.45, driven by disciplined cost management and operational efficiency.
Following the earnings release, Rapid7’s stock saw an after-hours gain of ~0.66%, suggesting cautious optimism among investors. The stock had declined 6.2% over the past month and 12% over the last two weeks, likely due to broader market volatility and concerns over growth deceleration. The better-than-expected EPS appears to have provided some relief, though the modest revenue beat and flat guidance may temper enthusiasm.
Rapid7 provided guidance for Q3 and full-year 2025, projecting:
The outlook suggests low single-digit growth, reinforcing the company’s transition toward platform-based security solutions rather than aggressive top-line expansion.
CEO Corey Thomas emphasized the company’s focus on AI-driven security solutions, including the recent launch of Incident Command, an AI-native SIEM platform. Additionally, Rapid7 secured FedRAMP authorization for its InsightGovCloud, positioning it as a trusted provider for U.S. federal agencies.
The company announced that CFO Tim Adams plans to retire, with a successor search underway. While leadership changes can introduce uncertainty, Adams will remain until a replacement is named to ensure a smooth transition.
Rapid7’s Q2 results demonstrate steady but slowing growth, with profitability holding up better than expected. The market’s muted reaction reflects a balance between relief over earnings outperformance and caution around the company’s conservative outlook. Investors will be watching for execution on its platform strategy and whether AI-driven offerings can accelerate growth in future quarters.
