Eventbrite is benefiting from strong growth in marketplace revenue, higher revenue per ticket, and improved gross margins driven by their two-sided marketplace strategy.

For Eventbrite, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. And a stock's price usually doesn't keep moving higher in the absence of any trend in earnings estimate revisions.
