PagerDuty, Inc. (PD - Free Report) reported second-quarter fiscal 2020 non-GAAP loss of 4 cents per share, narrower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 6 cents and the year-ago quarter’s loss of 7 cents.

The company stated that over a third of its enterprise and mid-market customer base expanded within the quarter. This increased adoption was the result of the strong return on investment and business value PagerDuty delivers.
Moreover, PagerDuty now has over 370 total integrations and a deep bench of partners.
