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

Factors at Play for Q4 Results

Gitlab’s fiscal fourth-quarter results are likely to benefit from a strong portfolio, expanding clientele and strong retention rate.

The availability of solutions like GitLab Govern, TeamOps and Suggested Reviews are expected to have helped it expand clientele in the to-be-reported quarter.

Moreover, an expanding partner base that includes the likes of Google Cloud is noteworthy. GitLab has partnered with Google Cloud to launch Cloud Seed. The partnership will allow customers to migrate to the cloud using a single platform.

Cloud Seed is built into the GitLab web UI and leverages the company’s CI/CD pipeline capabilities to give developers a frictionless experience and to make it easier to deploy their web applications directly to Google Cloud from GitLab.

However, a challenging macro environment and high inflation have been concerns for Gitlab in the fiscal fourth quarter.
