Nutanix Inc (NASDAQ: NTNX)
Nutanix Inc (NASDAQ: NTNX) stock is down heavily in pre-market trading on a poorer-than-expected outlook. The American cloud computing company sells software, cloud services, and software-defined storage. It announced its Q3 fiscal 2022 financial results after yesterday's session.
Highlights include 28% Y/Y ACV Billings Growth and 17% Y/Y revenue growth, with outperformance across all guided metrics. However, increased supply chain delays paint a challenging picture ahead.
Rajiv Ramaswami, President and CEO of Nutanix, said:
“Late in the third quarter, we saw an unexpected impact from challenges that limited our upside in the quarter and affected our outlook for the fourth quarter. Increased supply chain delays with our hardware partners account for the significant majority of the impact to our outlook, and higher-than-expected sales rep attrition in the third quarter was also a factor.
We don’t believe these challenges reflect any change in demand for our hybrid multi-cloud platform, and we remain focused on mitigating the impact of these issues and continuing to execute on the opportunity in front of us.”
Over the past year, Nutanix Inc (NTNX) has traded between $19.74 and $44.50. Today's drop means NTNX stock is trading at a 52-week low.
