Let’s see how things are shaping up for the upcoming announcement.
Key Factors to Consider
Alteryx’s fourth-quarter results are expected to reflect the impact of an expanding clientele, driven by increasing demand for a self-service data science and analytics platform. Also, improved awareness of the company’s brand and solutions, particularly among Global 2000 clients, is expected to have aided customer base expansion in the to-be-reported quarter.
Notably, in the last reported quarter, the dollar-based net expansion rate was 132%, up 10 basis points (bps) on a year-over-year basis. The company added 335 net new customers, bringing the total to 5613, a year-over-year increase of 30%. The momentum in customer addition most likely continued in the fourth quarter owing to a strong global demand for data analytics.
Further, Alteryx continued to add innovative features to its solutions, including Designer, Promote and Connect. This is expected to have improved user experience and further expanded the customer base. Moreover, the rapid adoption of predictive analytics and AI modeling solutions is expected to have benefited Alteryx’s top line in the to-be-reported quarter.
Additionally, the company’s expanding footprint in the public sector (both in the U.K. and the United States) and the healthcare vertical is expected to have aided top-line growth in the fourth quarter. Additionally, the acquisition of Feature Labs is expected to have strengthened Alteryx’s automation capabilities.
