As customer experience software stocks’ Q3 earnings season wraps, let's dig into this quarter's best and worst performers, including Momentive (NASDAQ:MNTV) and its peers.
The Internet has given customers more choice on whom to conduct business with and has also given them the power to easily share their experiences with other customers. These twin dynamics effectively have increased pressure on companies to both improve their customer service and also monitor their brand reputation online, driving the need for customer experience software offerings.
The 4 customer experience software stocks we track reported a mixed Q3; on average, revenues beat analyst consensus estimates by 2.31%, while on average next quarter revenue guidance was 0.76% under consensus. Tech multiples have reverted to the historical mean after reaching all time levels in early 2021, but customer experience software stocks held their ground better than others, with the share prices up 21.2% since the previous earnings results, on average.
