F5 Outlined Its Vision On How Application Delivery Controllers (ADCs) Must Transform To Meet The Extraordinary Demands Of Modern And Ai-powered Applications

F5's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FFIV#NYSE">FFIV</a>) short percent of float has risen 4.28% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 1.63 million shares sold short, which is 3.17% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.38 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for F5 has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing F5's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, F5's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.72%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

12 Information Technology Stocks Moving In Wednesday's Pre-Market Session

F5 Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FFIV#NASDAQ">FFIV</a>) stock is trading higher Wednesday after the company reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43288953/f5-shares-rally-after-better-than-expected-q1-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">better-than-expected</a> first-quarter financial results and issued strong second-quarter revenue guidance.
F5&nbsp;reported first-quarter&nbsp;revenue of $766.49 million&nbsp;(versus $692.6 million year-on-year), which beat the analyst consensus estimate of&nbsp;$715.41 million. EPS of&nbsp;$3.84&nbsp; beat the analyst consensus estimate of&nbsp;$3.36.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43309111/adp-q2-earnings-revenue-and-eps-beat-record-client-satisfaction-and-strong-hcm-demand-reaffirms-fy25-outlook" rel="noreferrer noopener">ADP Q2 Earnings: Revenue And EPS Beat, Record Client Satisfaction and Strong HCM Demand, Reaffirms FY25 Outlook</a>
F5 expects second-quarter revenue of $705 million—$725 million, versus the $702.73 million estimate, and EPS of $3.02-$3.14, versus the&nbsp;$3.21&nbsp;estimate. Wall Street analysts rerated the stock amid an exciting earning season.
Several analyst raised their price forecasts:
<ul>
<li>Piper Sandler analyst James Fish maintained F5 with a Neutral and raised the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/FFIV/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target from $246 to $304</a>.</li>
<li>Needham analyst Matt Dezort reiterated F5 with a Buy and raised the price target from $285 to $360.</li>
<li>Raymond James analyst Simon Leopold maintained F5 with a Hold.</li>
<li>RBC Capital analyst Matthew Hedberg reiterated F5 with a Sector Perform rating and raised the price target to $310 from $260.</li>
<li>JP Morgan analyst Samik Chatterjee maintained a Neutral rating on F5 and a price target of $296, up from $250.</li>
</ul>
Piper Sandler: Stock gained after F5 reported its most prominent beat in the company&#8217;s history, given better IT budgets, data center refresh, vendor consolidation, competitive disruption (Citrix), AI-related demand, and some pull-in of demand ahead of price increases across hardware and software.
Given all the moving parts and upsides from non-recurring sources, the question centers around growth sustainability (versus peak). Many drivers reflect Fish&#8217;s fiscal 2025 themes, and the updated guide better reflects what is happening in the environment.
Fish projected second-quarter revenue of $718.9 million and EPS of $3.14.
Needham: F5 posted an impressive first-quarter beat, guided second-quarter revenues ahead, and raised full-year guidance as new opportunities are opening up across hybrid/multi-cloud and GenAI, driven by more stable IT spending, robust software renewals, refresh activity, and improving competitive dynamics.
F5 called out a record number of ADC displacement deals in the first quarter, a trend they expect to continue.
Dezort projected second-quarter revenue of $719.85 million and EPS of $3.08.
Raymond James: The first-quarter report reflected a significant beat and a higher full-year outlook. Higher-than-expected expansion rates helped software growth, but hardware revenue provided the biggest surprise this quarter, accounting for almost two-thirds of the product upside versus Leopold&#8217;s estimate.
Management attributed the strong hardware growth to a higher-than-expected acceleration of customers refreshing their aging hardware footprint. Despite the robust first quarter, the fundamental narrative of the business mix shifting towards software and away from hardware has not changed.
F5&#8217;s products continue to be sticky within its customer base, which helps drive further adoption of hybrid-cloud deployments but also likely amplifies lumpy results in the immediate term.
Leopold projected second-quarter revenue of $718.9 million and EPS of $3.13.
RBC Capital: F5 reported strong results with outperformance across the board as software revenue grew +22% and systems revenue grew +18%. Positives included an improved IT spending environment, solid refresh activity, secular tailwinds around hybrid and AI, and an optimistic outlook.
Guidance moved higher with midpoint fiscal 2025 revenue and software revenue now pointing to 6.5% and 10%+ Y/Y versus prior expectations of 4.5% and high-single-digit. Hedberg remains impressed with the company&#8217;s growing consistency and relevancy in a hybrid cloud world.
Hedberg projected second-quarter revenue of $715.0 million and EPS of $3.08.
JP Morgan: F5 is starting to deliver consistency in executing results materially better than expectations despite operating in an uneven macro backdrop, as the robust capabilities across multi-cloud and AI are helping in competitive wins and enabling consolidation of customer wallet share.
While on the surface, Enterprise IT spending is still lackluster in the aggregate, the increasing complexity of managing a multi-cloud environment drives customers to F5&#8217;s solutions, given the depth and breadth of its capabilities relative to the closest competitor.
About these wins, F5 is seeing substantial expansion of deal sizes with customers in their renewals.
Additionally, with managing complexity around AI also on the horizon for Enterprise customers, F5 is starting to see demand to support secure data delivery for RAG as well as secure API access and also awaiting opportunities to leverage its partnership with Nvidia about load balancing in AI clusters in the time to come, although the deal sizes are smaller at this time, they are likely to expand (as F5 is already seeing with one customer) and become a more material driver of growth in the medium term.
Led by the robust portfolio supporting multi-cloud and AI for customers, F5 can balance strong business momentum with price increases across hardware and software, further increasing visibility into the stickiness of F5 solutions with its customers. Chatterjee projected second-quarter revenue of $715.0 million and EPS of $3.08.
Price Action: FFIV stock is up 10.8% at $299.00 at last check Wednesday.

Caution dominates Wednesday's midday trading session in New York as investors anxiously await the Federal Open Market Committee decision <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates">at 2 p.m. ET</a>.
The Fed is widely expected to keep interest rates unchanged at 4.25%-4.5%. Market participants remain highly focused on any signals from Fed Chair Jerome Powell regarding the path forward for rate cuts.
The December meeting delivered a shock to markets, with Powell adopting a more hawkish tone than anticipated, suggesting that interest rates have moved closer to a neutral zone.
This FOMC meeting is also the first since Donald Trump's administration took office, fueling speculation over whether Powell will address questions about the president's pledge to &#8220;lower interest rates immediately.&#8221;
Major equity indices are little changed, with tech stocks under slight pressure as Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) fell 5%, weighing on the sector. Tech titans Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>) and Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) will report earnings after the close, with investors awaiting management clarity over the DeepSeek AI competitive threat.
Among sectors, financial stocks — tracked by the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>) — hit fresh record highs, while communication services are on pace for their eighth consecutive session of gains.
The dollar and Treasury yields remain mostly flat ahead of the Fed's announcement. Commodities are mixed, with gold and oil down 0.4% and 0.9%, respectively, while silver and copper rise 1.2% and 1.1%.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) is up 1% to $102,300, potentially snapping a four-session losing streak.

&#8220;F5&#8217;s alignment with significant secular trends, a more stable IT spending environment, and our strong execution led to another record quarter,&#8221; said François Locoh-Donou, F5&#8217;s president and CEO. &#8220;Our first quarter revenue of $766 million reflects 11% growth year over year and includes a 22% increase in software revenue and 18% systems revenue growth from the first quarter of fiscal year 2024.&#8221;
&#8220;We are seeing new opportunities emerge in two main areas: hybrid multicloud and AI,&#8221; continued Locoh-Donou. &#8220;F5&#8217;s innovation in anticipation of widespread hybrid multicloud adoption means we can simplify the crushing complexity of these environments in ways competitors cannot and is leading to new revenue potential.&#8221;
Outlook:&nbsp;F5 sees second-quarter revenue in a range of $705 million to $725 million, versus the $702.73 million estimate, and earnings of between $3.02 and $3.14&nbsp;per share, versus the&nbsp;$3.21&nbsp;estimate.
