Let’s see how things are shaping up for this announcement.

Factors to Consider

Alteryx’s second-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.

Markedly, the company witnessed an abrupt and  significant change in customers’ buying behavior in March due to the coronavirus-triggered rapidly-changing macroeconomic conditions and implementation of shelter-in-place guidelines.

However, in April, business activity resumed and was unchanged year over year, thereby increasing confidence on growth prospects. However, given the coronavirus-induced macro-environmental uncertainties, Alteryx is expected to have experienced increased churn rate in the to-be-reported quarter.

Moreover, despite disruptions caused by the coronavirus outbreak, 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, Alteryx ended the first quarter of 2020 with 6,443 customers, up 29.6% year over year. The company added 356 net new customers, including 12 of the Global 2000 in the reported quarter.

Further, addition of innovative features to its solutions and ease of usage are expected to have strengthened demand for its solutions.

Key Q2 Developments

Alteryx continued to strengthen its product portfolio with the launch of new solutions.

During the to-be-reported quarter, the company unveiled its enhanced Analytic Process Automation (APA) platform, which combines analytics, data science and business process automation in one end-to-end platform.

Moreover, late in the quarter, the company introduced Analytics Hub, a new product to extend the power and value of its APA Platform, and Intelligence Suite, a new predictive modeling add-on for Alteryx Designer.
