What's in the Cards for Atlassian (TEAM) in Q3 Earnings?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Atlassian Corporation Plc (TEAM - Free Report) is set to report third-quarter fiscal 2017 results on Apr 27. Last quarter, the company posted a positive earnings surprise of 50%. Notably, the stock outperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all the trailing four quarters, with an average positive surprise of 83.33%.
Let’s see how things are shaping up for this announcement.
Factors at Play
Atlassian is engaged in designing, developing, licensing and maintenance of software, and provisioning of software hosting services. It offers tools for software developers consisting of FishEye, Bamboo and SourceTree.
During the quarter, the company acquired Trello, a cloud collaboration services provider that has more than 19 million users. The acquisition has not only strengthened Atlassian’s leadership position, but also enhanced its client base, which, we expect, will drive the company’s top- and bottom-line performances over the long run. We anticipate benefits of the acquisition to be reflected in the to-be-reported quarter results.
Furthermore, we believe that continuous investments in product development (mainly the launch of three purpose-built versions of JIRA products) and a significant number of customers on an active subscription or maintenance agreement are a few of the positives, which may drive the fiscal third-quarter results.
Nonetheless, a volatile spending atmosphere and competition from other privately held players in the space such as Dynport and PBworks remain concerns.
Our proven model does not conclusively show that Atlassian is likely to beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in its upcoming release. This is because a stock needs to have both a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) for this to happen. Unfortunately, this is not the case here as elaborated below.
Zacks ESP: The Earnings ESP for Atlassian is 0.00%. This is because both the Most Accurate estimate and the Zacks Consensus Estimate are pegged at a loss of 10 cents. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
Zacks Rank: Atlassian has a Zacks Rank #3. Though Zacks Rank #1, 2 or 3 increases the predictive power of ESP, the company’s ESP of 0.00% makes surprise prediction difficult.
We caution against stocks with a Zacks Rank #4 and 5 (Sell rated) going into the earnings announcement, especially when the company is seeing negative estimate revisions momentum.
Stocks to Consider
Here are a couple of stocks, which you may consider as our model shows that they have the right combination of elements to post an earnings beat in their upcoming releases:
Seagate Technology plc (STX - Free Report) , with an Earnings ESP of +3.77%, and a Zacks Rank #2.
Fiserv Inc. , with an Earnings ESP of +0.85% and a Zacks Rank #2.
