Cognyte Software Ltd. announced a $5 million follow‑on order from a Tier‑1 military organization in the EMEA region, bringing the total value of the engagement to approximately $20 million. The order was disclosed on February 26 2026 and follows the company’s initial $10 million contract that was announced in 2025.
The new contract is a second expansion of the same customer, underscoring Cognyte’s land‑and‑expand strategy and its ability to win repeat business after being selected over an incumbent provider. The deal will add recurring revenue and support and services revenue over the coming years, reinforcing Cognyte’s position in the defense analytics market.
Cognyte is a global leader in software‑driven investigative analytics, serving law enforcement, national security, and military intelligence agencies. The rapid follow‑on award—secured within a year of the initial deployment—signals strong customer satisfaction and operational value realization.
Efi Nuri, Chief Revenue Officer, said the expansion demonstrates how modern military organizations maintain an investigative edge with Cognyte’s leading solutions. David Abadi, Chief Financial Officer, noted that the early expansion reflects the effectiveness of the company’s land‑and‑expand strategy and the strong alignment between the customer’s needs and Cognyte’s technology.
The $20 million total engagement supports Cognyte’s recent financial trends: Q4 FYE25 saw growth in GAAP operating income and Adjusted EBITDA, and Q1 FYE26 revenue rose 15.5% year‑over‑year with improving profitability. The new contract adds to these positive trends and signals continued demand for AI‑driven investigative analytics.
While the article does not detail market reaction, the contract strengthens Cognyte’s recurring revenue base and competitive position against larger platform rivals, providing a tailwind for future growth.
