Q1 Expectations for Elastic

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for ESTC’s revenues is pegged at $1.5 billion, suggesting a 16.4% increase from the year-ago quarter’s actual.Elastic’s strategy to focus on customer-centric growth is expected to have aided the top line. Cost consciousness and operational efficiency are likely to have led customers to choose ESTC as their preferred platform to consolidate workload.

We expect Subscription revenues to have increased in the quarter under review on the back of growing revenues from Elastic Cloud. Growth in Elastic Cloud’s revenues is anticipated to have been driven by self-service motion in the small and medium-sized (SMB) business segment. Strong GenAI adoption among the company’s largest customers is likely to have a significant positive impact on annual contract values.

The consensus mark for earnings is pegged at $1.4 per share, indicating 18.5% growth on a year-over-year basis. The bottom line is expected to have benefited from strong margins.
