Stifel analysts highlighted that ServiceTitan's ability to consistently meet and potentially exceed well-managed guidance is a key factor in developing this operational rhythm. The analysts expressed satisfaction with the fourth-quarter forecast increase and anticipate that this performance will lead to higher Street estimates for the fiscal years 2026-27.

The company attributed its successful quarter to solid execution and the strength of its Pro & Usage offerings.
