Read MoreHide Full Article
Alteryx is set to release first-quarter 2019 results on May 1.

Revenues of $61 million (as per ASC 605) also beat the consensus mark of $57 million. However, per ASC 606, Alteryx reported revenues of $89.2 million that surged 131.1% on a year-over-year basis.
The company added 381 net new customers in fourth-quarter 2018, bringing the total to 4,696, including 534 from the Global 2000 list.
Alteryx expects revenues between $69 million and $72 million (per ASC 606) for first-quarter 2019. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is $71.1 million, indicating growth of 66.1% from the figure reported in the year-ago quarter.
Further, net loss is expected between 8 cents and 13 cents per share. The Zacks Consensus Estimate currently stands at a loss of 8 cents, unchanged over the past seven days.
Let’s see how things are shaping up for this announcement.
Factors to Watch
Alteryx is gaining from an expanding clientele, driven by increasing demand for a self-service data science and analytics platform. In the last reported quarter, dollar-based net revenue retention was 131%. Moreover, dollar-based net expansion rate was 132%, up 100 basis points (bps) sequentially.
The Promote and Connect solutions are seeing good traction and expected to drive growth. Moreover, the rapid adoption of predictive analytics and AI modelling is expected to drive Alteryx’s top line in the to-be-reported quarter.
However, the company’s investments in strengthening sales organization and developer talent base are anticipated to negatively impact profitability in the first quarter.
