Will AI create the world’s first trillionaire?<\/strong>\u00a0Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an “Indispensable Monopoly” providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need.\u00a0Continue \u00bb<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

A cloud for AI agents <\/p>\n

DigitalOcean’s revenue jumped 22% year over year to $258 million in the first quarter. Its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), in turn, leaped 21% to $105 million.<\/p>\n

DigitalOcean’s AI-related gains were stunning. Its AI customer annual run rate revenue (ARR) soared 221% to $170 million.<\/p>\n

With the launch of its AI-Native Cloud in April, DigitalOcean is positioning itself as a leading platform for AI agents<\/a>. Its new Inference Engine is helping to reduce the costs of using AI models to make decisions and predictions.<\/p>\n

DigitalOcean also acquired Katanemo Labs last month to further bolster its agentic AI capabilities.<\/p>\n

“The Inference and agentic era needs its own cloud,” CEO Paddy Srinivasan said. “DigitalOcean built it, and our record Q1 results demonstrate the strength of our platform.”<\/p>\n

Accelerating growth <\/p>\n

These encouraging results drove DigitalOcean to lift its full-year guidance. Management now sees revenue rising by roughly 26% to $1.14 billion in 2026.<\/p>\n

Better still, DigitalOcean expects its revenue growth to accelerate to over 50% in 2027.<\/p>\n

“We continue to invest in what we believe is a generational market opportunity, adding approximately 60 MW [megawatts] of incremental committed data center capacity that will come online throughout 2027 to support growing customer demand,” Srinivasan said.<\/p>\n
