Blackline’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters, missing the same on one occasion, the average surprise being 3.41%.

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

Factors to Note

BlackLine’s performance is likely to have benefited from the acquisition of Data Interconnect, which has bolstered its product offerings and expanded its market reach.

Growing momentum in new logo additions is expected to have benefited the company's mid-market business during the to-be-reported quarter.

BlackLine's partnerships with consulting firms, channel partners, and technology providers like SAP and Microsoft are expected to have contributed to the success of large deals and expansion wins.

Additionally, increasing demand for BlackLine's accounts receivable automation solutions resulted in a growing clientele. This is likely to have bolstered the company's top-line growth in the quarter under review.

However, macroeconomic headwinds and the lower cross-sell activity are expected to have hurt BlackLine's top-line growth in the near term.
