Read MoreHide Full Article
Zendesk is set to release second-quarter 2019 results on Jul 30.
Notably, the company has surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the trailing four quarters, the average positive surprise being 141.7%.
In the last reported quarter, Zendesk reported earnings of 5 cents per share that beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by couple of cents. Revenues of $181 million also surpassed the consensus mark of $180 million.
At the end of first-quarter 2019, paid customer accounts surpassed 145,000. The company’s dollar-based net expansion rate was healthy at 118%.
For second-quarter 2019, revenues are anticipated between $191 million and $193 million. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues currently stands at $192.8 million, indicating growth of 35.9% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
Moreover, the consensus mark for earnings has remained steady at 5 cents over the past 30 days, implying growth of 66.7% from the figure reported in the year-ago quarter.
Let’s see how things are shaping up for this announcement.
Factors to Watch
Zendesk is gaining from strong adoption of its customer relationship management (CRM) solutions.
Solid demand for Zendesk Suite, an omni-channel, bundled, subscription-based product, is a key catalyst. The solution has been gaining traction not only among small and medium businesses (SMBs) but also enterprises. At the end of the first quarter, the suite had more than 3,500 paid customers.
Additionally, the company’s CRM platform, Zendesk Sunshine, has gained solid traction within a short span of its release, owing to its flexibility and developer friendliness. Notably, the solution is built on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and supports open standards.
Further, Zendesk, based on its innovative solutions, is strengthening footprint among small and midsized businesses (SMBs). The company also focuses on foraying into large enterprises by enhancing its product features as well as go-to-market capabilities.
These factors are expected to drive the top line in the to-be-reported quarter.
What Our Model Says
According to the Zacks model, a company with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) along with a positive Earnings ESP has a good chance of beating estimates. The Sell-rated stocks (Zacks Rank #4 or 5) are best avoided.
Zendesk has a Zacks Rank #2 and an Earnings ESP of +7.84%. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell, before they’re reported, with our Earnings ESP Filter.
Other Stocks With Favorable Combination
Here are some stocks you may want to consider, as our model shows these have the right combination of elements to post an earnings beat.
CACI International (CACI - Free Report) has an Earnings ESP of +4.02% and a Zacks Rank #2.
CGI Group (GIB - Free Report) has an Earnings ESP of +1.27% and a Zacks Rank #2.
Biggest Tech Breakthrough in a Generation
Be among the early investors in the new type of device that experts say could impact society as much as the discovery of electricity. Current technology will soon be outdated and replaced by these new devices. In the process, it’s expected to create 22 million jobs and generate $12.3 trillion in activity.
A select few stocks could skyrocket the most as rollout accelerates for this new tech. Early investors could see gains similar to buying Microsoft in the 1990s. Zacks’ just-released special report reveals 7 stocks to watch. The report is only available for a limited time.
