For Q4/24, the company expects EPS in the range of $0.14-$0.15, compared to the consensus of $0.13, and revenue in the range of $109.5-$111.5M, compared to the consensus of $110.4M.

"Growth remains under pressure, as indicated by: 1) another billings miss, 2) Q4 revenue guide of 9-10% YoY growth, 3) further deteriorating NRR, with Q4 guide of 106% following 110% in Q3, and 4) a decline in total customer count along with weak >$100K customer net new adds," analysts at Morgan Stanley said.
"We think growth is unlikely to rebound until after the Q4 renewal cycle, but at16X CY25 FCF we view the stock as too cheap to ignore."
