Customers are adopting premium plans and adding services, boosting ARR and engagement levels.
AXON raised 2025 revenue forecast to $2.65-$2.73B, signaling 29% year-over-year growth at midpoint.
Axon Enterprise, Inc. (AXON - Free Report) has been witnessing strong momentum in its Software & Services segment, driven by an increase in the aggregate number of users to the Axon network. After witnessing a year-over-year 39% jump in revenues in the first quarter of 2025, revenues from the segment increased 38.8% in the second quarter. Continued momentum in digital evidence management and increased demand for premium add-on features are driving the segment’s growth.
Adoption of premium subscription plans also continues to rise as more customers recognize the value of enhanced capabilities. Existing customers are consistently returning to purchase additional services, reflecting strong customer satisfaction and engagement. This ongoing expansion supports a growing base of annual recurring revenues (ARR). Also, solid demand for TASER devices, virtual reality training services and counter-drone equipment is expected to support the company’s growth.
Strong customer alignment, broader adoption across sectors and continuous product innovation led Axon to raise the financial guidance for 2025. AXON currently expects revenues to be in the band of $2.65-$2.73 billion compared with $2.60-$2.70 billion expected earlier. The guidance indicates growth of approximately 29% on a year-over-year basis at the midpoint.
