Slack (WORK) to Report Q3 Earnings: What's in the Cards?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Slack Technologies, Inc. will report third-quarter fiscal 2020 results on Dec 4, after the bell.
Shares of the company have slumped 38.7% since it went public in June 2019 compared with the 9.1% decline of the industry it belongs to.
Factors at Play
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $155 million, indicating sequential growth of 6.9%. Expansion of existing paid customers and addition of new paid customers are expected to have driven the top line. In the second quarter of fiscal 2020, the company’s revenues of $145 million increased 7.4% sequentially.
The consensus mark for the bottom line is pegged at a loss of 9 cents, indicating a decline from a loss of 98 cents incurred in the prior quarter. Loss is likely to have narrowed due to a significant sequential decline in general and administrative expenses. Notably, in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, the company incurred an incremental direct listing-related cost of $28 million.
