The company’s expertise in securing multiple public clouds, which include Alphabet’s (GOOGL - Free Report) Google Cloud Platform and Amazon’s (AMZN - Free Report) AWS is a tailwind.
Moreover, Amdocs expanded its relationship with Microsoft (MSFT - Free Report) by joining the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association, to deliver greater flexibility and efficiency for securing privileged access.
Application Access Manager continued to witness a strong traction and secured a large license deal in the quarter. Additionally, the Endpoint Privilege Manager gained traction among customers across various industries.

The company reported non-GAAP operating income of $26.5 million compared with $17 million in the year-ago quarter. Non-GAAP operating margin expanded 400 basis points to 26% on the back of higher revenues, strong business model and disciplined investments.

The company intends to continue investing in business in the third quarter, which will keep expenses high and margins under pressure.
Notably, the third and fourth quarters are usually the best quarters in terms of revenue generation.
However, an increase in expenses due to seasonal employee expenses and the marquee Americas customer event is expected to be an overhang in the third quarter.
Be among the early investors in the new type of device that experts say could impact society as much as the discovery of electricity. Current technology will soon be outdated and replaced by these new devices. In the process, it’s expected to create 22 million jobs and generate $12.3 trillion in activity.
A select few stocks could skyrocket the most as rollout accelerates for this new tech. Early investors could see gains similar to buying Microsoft in the 1990s. Zacks’ just-released special report reveals 7 stocks to watch. The report is only available for a limited time.
