Factors to Consider

Teradata’s first-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from the cloud business. Its growing cloud deals might have remained a tailwind.

TDC is consistently witnessing customer migration to its Vantage platform. This is expected to have constantly driven its public cloud annual recurring revenues.

Continuous addition of customer logos to both cloud and on-premises is anticipated to have supported the to-be-reported quarter’s performance.

Growing momentum in the Europe, the Middle East & Africa regions is likely to get reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.

In the first quarter, Teradata strengthened its partnership with Telefonica Espana, wherein the latter migrated its on-premises data analytics ecosystem to Teradata’s Vantage on Google Cloud. This is likely to have aided the results for the quarter under review.

Further, growing efforts to strengthen its technologies are anticipated to have remained a positive in the to-be-reported quarter.

Yet, sluggishness in perpetual software license & hardware, and consulting services revenues is expected to have remained a concern in the quarter under discussion.

Additionally, weak momentum in the Americas, the Asia Pacific and Japan regions is likely to get reflected in the quarterly results.

Intensifying competition in the analytic data solutions market is also anticipated to have been a headwind for Teradata.
