Software Firms Reassure Lenders With Early Earnings
7.2
Privately held software firms McAfee, Rocket Software, Perforce and Cloudera released earnings to lenders ahead of schedule, Bloomberg reported Feb. 17, aiming to reassure creditors amid concerns that AI could disrupt subscription revenue. Rocket said 2025 revenue rose 5.2% year over year, McAfee reported flat Q4 revenue, Perforce a slight decline, and Cloudera reported a strong fourth quarter as investors fret over a 'SaaSpocalypse'.
