Atlassian (TEAM) to Report Q2 Earnings: What's in the Cards?

Read MoreHide Full Article

Atlassian (TEAM - Free Report) is scheduled to report second-quarter fiscal 2021 results on Jan 28.

Atlassian projects fiscal second-quarter revenues to lie between $460 million and $475 million (mid-point $467.5 million). The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $469.7 million, suggesting growth of 14.9% from the year-ago period.

The company anticipates non-IFRS earnings of 30-32 cents per share (mid-point 31 cents). The Zacks Consensus Estimate is pegged at 31 cents per share, 16.2% lower than the 37 cents reported in the year-ago quarter.

Notably, the company’s earnings surpassed estimates in all of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 24.5%.

Let’s see how things have shaped up prior to the upcoming announcement.

Factors at Play

Atlassian’s fiscal second-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from the rising demand for remote-working tools amid the COVID-19 pandemic-led work-from-home trend.

The growing adoption of the company’s cloud-based solutions and massive digitalization of work in organizations, big or small, is likely to have driven its quarterly performance. Increasing demand for the company’s cloud products from new customers as well as the existing clients using on-premises products might have been another tailwind.

Healthy demand for core products like Jira and Confluence, coupled with the rising uptake of new products like Jira Service Desk, Jira Ops and Bitbucket, is anticipated to have been a key growth driver during the period in discussion. Improvement in product quality and performance, multiple product launches and increased pricing are anticipated to have boosted quarterly revenues.

Robust growth in subscription revenues, aided by the solid uptake of the company’s cloud-service offerings, will likely reflect on the to-be-reported results as a consistent key catalyst.
