Factors at Play for Q2 Results

SentinelOne’s expanding and diversified customer base is expected to have aided the company’s top line in the fiscal second quarter. During first-quarter fiscal 2024, the company added more than 700 new customers. Total customer count grew 43% year over year to more than 10,680 at quarter end.

SentinelOne is banking on a strong portfolio of cybersecurity solutions and data capabilities powered by artificial intelligence. Its Singularity platform is renowned for providing protection spanning user endpoints, cloud workloads, and identity infrastructure. The growing adoption of its Singularity Marketplace has been noteworthy and is expected to have benefited top-line growth.

Moreover, SentinelOne is riding on an expanding partner base that includes the likes of ServiceNow and Amazon Web Services, which leverages the Singularity XDR platform to provide end-to-end threat detection and automated response.

However, macroeconomic challenges are expected to have impacted the timing and the size of new enterprise deals in the fiscal second quarter.
