Organizations generate a lot of data that is stored in silos, often in incompatible formats, making it slow and costly to extract actionable insights, which in turn drives demand for modern cloud-based data analysis platforms that can efficiently analyze the silo-ed data.
The 4 data analytics stocks we track reported a decent Q3; on average, revenues beat analyst consensus estimates by 2.14%, while on average next quarter revenue guidance was 1.54% above consensus.
