Alteryx, Inc. (AYX) Surges 5.9%: Is This an Indication of Further Gains?

Alteryx, Inc. shares rallied 5.9% in the last trading session to close at $46.90. This move can be attributable to notable volume with a higher number of shares being traded than in a typical session. This compares to the stock's 20.3% loss over the past four weeks.

The recent surge in Alteryx’s share price can be attributed to rising demand for the company’s low code or no code analytical platform as companies are showing increasing interest to take their operations in the data cloud ecosystem.

Also growing adoption of Alteryx’s integrated offerings with Snowflake among its joint customers is driving its’ share price growth. Alteryx’s joint customers with Snowflake in financial services, healthcare, life sciences and media are achieving both top-line and bottom line growth which is attracting new customers.

This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.60 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -650%. Revenues are expected to be $160.9 million, up 34% from the year-ago quarter.

Earnings and revenue growth expectations certainly give a good sense of the potential strength in a stock, but empirical research shows that trends in earnings estimate revisions are strongly correlated with near-term stock price movements.

For Alteryx, Inc., the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. And a stock's price usually doesn't keep moving higher in the absence of any trend in earnings estimate revisions.
