What Happened:

Shares of office and call centre communications software provider RingCentral (NYSE:RNG) jumped 11.1% in the after-market session after the company reported an encouraging "beat and raise" quarter. First-quarter revenue, adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, and earnings per share (EPS) all beat Consensus estimates. Revenue guidance for the next quarter and the full year came in roughly inline with Consensus. On a more positive note, EPS guidance for the next quarter exceeded expectations, and the company raised the full-year EPS guidance. Overall, it was a solid quarter for the company especially considering the mixed results of peers and macro uncertainty.
