Data analytics firm Alteryx (NYSE: AYX) reported a profit of 24 cents per share for the third quarter of 2019, compared to 18 cents per share it reported last year. The bottom-line was stronger than analysts’ projection of 9 cents per share.
Meanwhile, revenues of $103 million were 65% higher than the same quarter last year, and above the street estimate of $90.47 million.
The better-than-expected results sent the stock up 5% immediately following the announcement. This came as a breather to the stock that had tanked almost 37% since September, when it suffered declines that were part of a broader market sell-off. In the 12 months leading up to the grand sell-off, the stock had registered a 147% growth.
Alteryx ended the quarter with 5,613 customers, a 30% increase from the third quarter of 2018, reflecting net new addition of 335 customers.
Dollar-based net expansion rate for the quarter stood at 132%.
Thanks to the increasing demand for self-service analytics solutions, the company has seen robust growth in customer additions, and boasts of an envious clientele among the Global 2000.
