Nutanix (NTNX, $33.70) beats fiscal Q2 earnings, but has lower projection for Q3 than expected
Nutanix delivered earnings better than expected for its fiscal second quarter, but indicated weaker guidance for the next quarter compared to analysts’ projections.
The cloud services company’s adjusted net loss for the three months ending January 31 came in at -23 cents per share, which is less pronounced than analysts’ Wall Street estimates of a loss of -25 cents per share. Fiscal second-quarter sales surged nearly +17% to $335 million, beating analysts’ expectation of $331 million. However, billings (or signed contracts not yet on paper) for the quarter - at $413.4 million – came in lower than analysts’ estimates of $416.5 million.
What could potentially disappoint some investors is Nutanix’s projections for the fiscal third. Nutanix forecasts an adjusted loss of approximately -60 cents per share for the coming quarter, thereby falling short of than analysts’ prediction of a loss of -28 cents per share. The company’s expects revenue to range between $290 million and $300 million – lower than analysts’ expectation of $348 million. Even billings projection of $290 million to $300 million, does not match up to analysts’ expected $430.2 million.
