Quarterly earnings results are a good time to check in on a company’s progress, especially compared to other peers in the same sector. Today we are looking at Alteryx (NYSE:AYX), and the best and worst performers in the data analytics group.
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 5 data analytics stocks we track reported a decent Q3; on average, revenues beat analyst consensus estimates by 4.2%, while on average next quarter revenue guidance was 1.99% above consensus. There has been a stampede out of high valuation technology stocks as rising interest rates encourage investors to value profits over growth again, but data analytics stocks held their ground better than others, with the share prices up 3% since the previous earnings results, on average.
