Veeva Systems (VEEV) reported its fiscal 2026 Q2 earnings on August 29, 2025, delivering results that exceeded expectations. The company raised full-year billings guidance by $35 million and demonstrated continued earnings growth. The positive performance was underscored by a 16.7% year-over-year revenue increase and a 17.1% surge in net income.

Veeva Systems posted robust revenue growth in fiscal 2026 Q2, with total revenue climbing 16.7% to $789.08 million compared to $676.18 million in the same period a year earlier. Subscription services remained the core driver of the company's revenue, contributing $659.18 million, while professional services and other segments added $129.90 million. This performance reflects the company's strong execution and market position.

The company’s earnings power also showed significant strength, with earnings per share (EPS) rising 16.0% to $1.23 in fiscal 2026 Q2, up from $1.06 a year ago. Net income surged 17.1% year-over-year to $200.31 million, from $171.04 million in the prior-year period. The continued growth in profitability highlights Veeva Systems' long-standing financial discipline and operational efficiency, with the company maintaining profitability for 14 consecutive years in the corresponding fiscal quarter.

VEEV shares have seen recent declines, with the stock down 1.23% on the latest trading day, 7.45% for the week, and 6.17% month-to-date. The post-earnings trading strategy of buying the stock after a revenue beat and holding for 30 days underperformed significantly. This approach recorded a negative compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -0.21% and an excess return of -50.69%, far below the benchmark return of 49.79%. The strategy also exhibited a Sharpe ratio of -0.01, signaling poor risk-adjusted returns and substantial drawdowns.

Despite the stock's near-term volatility, CEO Peter P. Gassner expressed confidence in the company’s long-term prospects, calling it a “strong quarter” with results that exceeded guidance. He highlighted the company's progress toward its "industry cloud vision," the resolution of a 10-year lawsuit with IQVIA as “transformative,” and the integration of AI into the company’s offerings. Gassner also emphasized the structural advantages of Veeva’s platform and the importance of customer collaboration and early adoption.

Veeva Systems also raised full-year billings guidance by $35 million, reflecting confidence in its ability to meet and exceed revenue expectations. Management anticipates continued execution strength in Q3 and Q4, with growth driven by Crossix and R&D subscriptions. CFO Brian Van Wagener noted that billings can be lumpy on a quarterly basis, but annual trends offer better visibility. He expressed confidence in the guidance, citing a stable environment and strong pipeline execution.
