Shares of cybersecurity software provider Rapid7 (NASDAQ:RPD) fell significantly after the company provided a weak financial outlook for the upcoming quarter and full year, despite its fourth-quarter results narrowly beating Wall Street expectations. The primary concern for investors was the lower-than-anticipated revenue forecast for Q1 2026 and significantly missed full-year adjusted EPS guidance for 2026. This poor guidance, coupled with concerns about AI models impacting traditional software, led to a substantial drop in the stock price.
