Read MoreHide Full Article

Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at its most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important catalysts.
CyberArk’s Q2 Earnings & Revenues Beat Estimates
CyberArk reported better-than-expected second-quarter 2020 results. Non-GAAP earnings per share of 42 cents exceeded the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 61.5%. The bottom line, however, is lower than the year-ago quarter’s 59 cents.
CyberArk’s revenues grew 6.3% year over year to $106.5 million and beat the consensus mark of $101 million. Solid revenue growth across all geographical regions aided the top line. Moreover, an expanding customer base was a tailwind.
Increasing demand for privileged access security on the back of digital transformation and cloud migration strategies was a key growth driver. Moreover, growing pipelines across verticals such as banking, insurance, healthcare, global government, pharmaceuticals and utilities, which have been less affected by the coronavirus pandemic, boosted revenues.
