Which business segments (e.g., enterprise performance management, carrier service assurance, cybersecurity, DDoS protection) drove the strongest growth, and which underperformed?

Answer

Based on the excerpt you provided, the press release only includes a high‑level statement that NETSCOUT “delivered a solid start to fiscal year 2026, with Q1 performance reflecting strong execution and positive momentum across both our top‑
.” The specific details about how each of NETSCOUT’s four primary business segments—enterprise performance management, carrier service assurance, cybersecurity, and DDoS protection—performed in the quarter are not included in the text you shared.

Because the release does not break out revenue growth, margin expansion, or any other performance metrics by segment, I cannot identify:

  • Which segment drove the strongest growth (e.g., the one with the highest percentage increase in revenue, bookings, or comparable profit), or
  • Which segment underperformed (e.g., the one that lagged behind expectations or showed a decline).

If you can provide the missing portion of the press release—typically a “Segment Results” table or narrative that details each segment’s Q1 results—I would be able to analyze the data and pinpoint the strongest‑growing and under‑performing segments. Otherwise, with the current information, a definitive answer isn’t possible.
