Let us see how things have shaped up for the upcoming announcement.

Key Factors to Note

GitLab’s fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 performance is expected to have benefited from ongoing investments in innovation across its core DevOps platform, security and AI-driven solutions.

GitLab’s AI-native DevSecOps platform, including the Duo Agent Platform, is expected to have driven customer adoption and revenue growth in the to-be-reported quarter as customers increasingly integrate AI capabilities into their workflows. The continued expansion of GitLab Dedicated is likely to have contributed to the fiscal fourth quarter’s top-line growth.

GitLab’s strong dollar-based net retention rate was 119% in the third quarter of fiscal 2026, driven by seat expansion, tier upgrades and increased customer yield, indicating continued growth potential from existing customers in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026.

Gitlab’s expanding clientele and market leadership in the DevSecOps platform category are expected to have contributed to its growth prospects in the to-be-reported quarter. In the third quarter of fiscal 2026, customers with more than $5K of Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) increased to 10,475, up 10% year over year. Customers with more than $100K of ARR increased to 1,405, up 23% year over year, demonstrating GTLB’s ability to attract and retain large enterprise customers.

SaaS revenues grew 36% year over year, and made up around 31% of total revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 2026, while GitLab Ultimate contributed to 54% of total ARR in the third quarter and was included in the company’s 7 out of the top 10 net ARR deals. The above-mentioned factors are expected to have driven growth in the to-be-reported quarter as well.
