On July 7, Atlassian rose 5.04% in regular trading, trading at $89.805/share, with turnover of approximately $97 million. The stock benefited from broad strength across the application software sector, with peers Adobe up 5.01% and Salesforce up 3.39%.
The rally was fueled by growing market attention to enterprise AI cost pressures. Reports revealed that major corporations including Citi, Adobe, and Amazon are restricting employee access to advanced AI models after monthly AI expenditures tripled at some firms to over $15 million. This trend indirectly validates the commercial logic behind Atlassian's recently introduced AI usage-based pricing model, suggesting that surging enterprise AI consumption creates incremental revenue opportunities for the company.
Fundamentally, Atlassian reported Q3 adjusted EPS of $1.75, beating the consensus estimate of $1.32 by 32.6%, while revenue of $1.787 billion surpassed the $1.693 billion estimate. Analysts at Oppenheimer maintained an outperform rating with a $110 price target, citing the company's demonstrated ability to monetize customer AI usage.
