Asana, Inc. (ASAN) shares soared 8.92% in after-hours trading on Wednesday following the release of its second-quarter fiscal 2026 financial results, which exceeded analyst expectations and prompted the company to raise its full-year guidance.

Revenue for the quarter came in at $196.9 million, a 10% increase year-over-year and above the expected $193 million.
