Progress’ earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all the trailing four quarters, delivering an earnings surprise of 7.36% on average.
Factors to Consider
Progress has been benefiting from a strong portfolio with a robust adoption rate for its Chef, OpenEdge, DataDirect and Sitefinity solutions. In the fiscal fourth quarter, the net dollar retention rate was more than 101%.
Strong contributions from acquisitions like Kemp are expected to have driven top-line growth.
The MarkLogic acquisition, which was completed in the fiscal first quarter, strengthens Progress’ portfolio as well as expands its customer base. Leveraging MarkLogic’s multi-model NoSQL database, along with robust semantic metadata management and AI capabilities, Progress will be able to deliver solutions that will help its customers derive significant value from complex data.
However, the fiscal first quarter bottom line is expected to reflect headwinds related to higher interest rates and a challenging macroeconomic environment.
