If there is a concern for Nutanix, it is that the stock has been performing better than the company. The company is losing money still and has yet to turn a profit since going public in October 2016. The good news is that the company has seen sales grow by 66% per year over the last three years, so it could soon make a profit. The company is scheduled to report earnings on February 28.
