The headline beat is tempered by one-time gains and negative non-GAAP guidance. Monitor conference call for details on the AMD MoU and any inflection in Private Cloud trends. With high short interest and poor historical momentum, near-term upside may be limited.
Price Chart

Rackspace Technology reported Q1 2026 revenue of $678M (beat $660.8M consensus) and GAAP EPS of $0.03 (beat -$0.03 consensus), driven by a $55.8M gain on debt extinguishment.
