Dynatrace’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 23.02%.

Let’s see how things have shaped up prior to the upcoming announcement.

Factors to Note

Dynatrace’s fiscal third-quarter performance is expected to have benefitted from strong demand for its unified observability and security platform and an expanding clientele.

Dynatrace's AI capabilities and multi-cloud ecosystem to drive real-time insights and automation and strong adoption of its unified platform are expected to have boosted subscription revenues in the fiscal third quarter.

Subscription revenues are expected in the range of $337-$340 million, indicating 20-21% year-over-year growth. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal third-quarter Subscription revenues is pegged at $341 million, indicating a 22.2% increase year over year.

Dynatrace continues to expand its product portfolio by introducing capabilities and enhancements, which are likely to have been key growth drivers. Continuous investment in security expansion and go-to-market initiatives are expected to have driven its net expansion rate and contributed to ARR growth.

Dynatrace’s strong partner base is likely to have contributed to its fiscal third-quarter performance. The company's growing collaborations with hyperscales like Microsoft to leverage the power of generative AI and predictive analytics with secure enterprise-ready offerings are expected to have been a tailwind.

However, persistent macroeconomic volatility and challenges related to foreign exchange are expected to have hurt top-line growth.
