Atlassian shares jumped more than 20% on Friday after the software company reported fiscal third quarter results beating Wall Street expectations, with EPS of $1.75 adjusted vs. $1.32 expected and revenue of $1.79 billion vs. $1.69 billion expected. Cloud revenue grew 29% year over year to $1.13 billion, while data center revenue came in at $561 million, both exceeding analyst estimates. CEO Mike Cannon-Brookes said concerns about AI disruption in the software sector may be overblown, noting customers continue expanding their use of Atlassian software.
