Read MoreHide Full Article
The most recent trading session ended with Dynatrace (DT - Free Report) standing at $47.73, reflecting a +1.36% shift from the previouse trading day's closing. The stock's change was more than the S&P 500's daily gain of 0.15%. On the other hand, the Dow registered a loss of 0.02%, and the technology-centric Nasdaq increased by 0.32%.
Heading into today, shares of the software intellegence company had gained 1.88% over the past month, outpacing the Computer and Technology sector's gain of 1.32% and the S&P 500's gain of 1.65% in that time.
Investors will be eagerly watching for the performance of Dynatrace in its upcoming earnings disclosure. In that report, analysts expect Dynatrace to post earnings of $0.27 per share. This would mark a year-over-year decline of 12.9%. At the same time, our most recent consensus estimate is projecting a revenue of $375.2 million, reflecting a 19.31% rise from the equivalent quarter last year.
Any recent changes to analyst estimates for Dynatrace should also be noted by investors. Such recent modifications usually signify the changing landscape of near-term business trends. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the company's business and profitability.
