Atlassian (TEAM) stock fell 16.2% on Friday, November 6, 2026, while the S&P 500 rose 0.3%. After the close on Thursday, November 5, the company reported first-quarter results for fiscal 2027 that beat analysts’ estimates for both earnings and revenue. So why did a quarter that beat estimates send the shares this far down?
Atlassian Beat Estimates But Expects Slower Cloud Growth
For the quarter ended September 30, 2026, Atlassian earned an adjusted $1.65 per share, compared to the $1.39 analysts expected. Revenue reached $1.8 billion, above the $1.71 billion estimate, and management said on the November 5 call that cloud revenue grew 31%.
The shares fell on what Atlassian said about cloud growth. While the company raised its outlook for the full year, its guidance pointed to slower cloud growth, and the stock sold off as soon as the numbers came out. On the call, an analyst said the second-quarter cloud revenue guide implied about 4 points of slowdown, more than the guidance from 90 days earlier had implied. Some analysts called the worry over slower cloud growth an overreaction.
Management stressed other figures on the call. RPO, representing revenue customers have signed up for but Atlassian has not yet booked, grew 44% to $4.7 billion. More than 3,000 customers have now upgraded to the Teamwork Collection, seven times as many as a year earlier.
Did Other Software Stocks Fall With Atlassian?
Atlassian’s software peers also fell, though by far less, even as the wider technology sector rose. The technology sector fund XLK gained 1.5% in the same session. Among the companies on the Trefis list of Atlassian’s peers, Asana fell 5.0% and Salesforce fell 3.9%.
Asana saw the largest of those peer falls, yet its decline was less than a third of Atlassian’s drop. Atlassian’s stock moved on its own report, not with its group.

Where Does Atlassian Stock Stand Now?
Over the prior 365 days, Atlassian had not fallen this much in a single session. Its last move this large went the other way: a 35.3% gain on August 7, 2026.
The drop leaves the shares down 4.8% over the past 12 months, against a 9.8% gain for the S&P 500. Friday’s close of $153.68 sits well below the stock’s highest close of the year, $227.61 on October 23, 2026, but remains far above the year’s lowest close, $57.15 on April 10, 2026. The stock returned 67.8% over the past six months, yet it fell 24.5% over the past month alone.
Atlassian is expected to report its fiscal second-quarter 2027 results in February 2027, and cloud revenue growth is the figure to watch.
