The beat-and-raise quarter confirms accelerating momentum in usage-based and AI revenue, which should support continued top-line growth. Monitor gross margin trajectory as mix shift continues; the raised guidance provides a positive catalyst for near-term price action. Watch for Q2 guidance (revenue $185M-$190M, EPS $0.07-$0.08) as the next checkpoint.
