What is the outlook for the next quarter and the full fiscal year, especially regarding guidance on revenue, margin, and capital expenditures?

Answer

The press release you quoted only reports NETSCOUT Systems’ financial results for the first quarter that ended June 30 2025 and includes a brief comment from the CEO about the strength of that quarter. It does not contain any forward‑looking guidance or outlook for:

  • the next quarter (Q2 FY 2026)
  • the full fiscal year (FY 2026)
  • revenue targets
  • margin expectations
  • capital‑expenditure plans

Because those details are absent from the excerpt you provided, we can’t give specific numbers or percentages for the upcoming quarter or the remainder of the fiscal year.

What you can do next

  1. Locate the full press release – The complete NETSCOUT earnings announcement (often posted on the company’s investor‑relations website or on Business Wire) typically includes a “Guidance” or “Outlook” section with projected revenue, operating margin, and cap‑ex ranges for the next quarter and the full fiscal year.

  2. Check the SEC filing – Companies usually file a Form 10‑Q (quarterly report) or Form 8‑K with the SEC that contains the same guidance tables.

  3. Listen to the earnings call transcript – Management’s remarks during the call often elaborate on the guidance and provide additional context about market trends, product pipelines, and spending plans.

  4. Monitor subsequent news updates – Analysts’ coverage or follow‑up releases sometimes summarize the guidance in a more digestible format.

Bottom line: Based solely on the information you shared, there is no disclosed outlook for Q2 FY 2026 or the full FY 2026, nor any guidance on revenue, margin, or capital expenditures. To obtain those specifics, you’ll need to refer to the complete earnings release, the accompanying SEC filing, or the earnings‑call transcript.
