Let’s see how things are shaping up for this announcement.

Factors to Consider

Alteryx’s first-quarter results are expected to reflect the impact of an expanding clientele, driven by increasing demand for a self-service data science and analytics platform.

Despite headwinds related to coronavirus outbreak, improved awareness of the company’s brand and solutions, particularly among Global 2000 clients, is expected to have aided customer base expansion in the to-be-reported quarter.

Notably, Alteryx ended the fourth quarter of 2019 with 6,087 customers, up 30% year over year. The company added 474 net new customers including 36 of the Global 2000 in the reported quarter.

Further, addition of innovative features to its solutions and ease of usage are expected to have strengthened customer base in the to-be-reported quarter.

Markedly, research firm Gartner in its 2020 Magic Quadrant for Data Science and Machine-Learning Platforms, placed Alteryx in the leader quadrant.

Key Q1 Development

During the quarter, Alteryx inked a five-year relationship deal with PwC U.S. and recognized PwC as a “Global Elite Partner”.
