William Blair notes that the management attributed the relative weakness to two primary factors:
威廉·布萊爾指出,管理層將相對疲軟歸因於兩個主要因素:
- The broader macro environment continues to pressure the company's end markets, translating into tighter budgets and increased spending scrutiny.
- Compounded by greater-than-expected disruption in sales activity following the organization's go-to-market restructuring actions taken earlier in the year.
- The analyst notes that the company substantially restructured its salesforce to prioritize larger enterprise clients in core client verticals in January.
- 更廣泛的宏觀環境繼續給公司的終端市場帶來壓力,轉化爲更緊縮的預算和更嚴格的支出審查。
- 再加上該組織在今年早些時候採取市場重組行動後,銷售活動的中斷超過預期。
- 分析師指出,該公司在1月份對銷售隊伍進行了實質性重組,以優先考慮核心客戶垂直領域的大型企業客戶。
In general, William Blair considers the recent quarter somewhat disappointing as it anticipated stronger indications of a rise in organic growth, particularly after management mentioned a slight improvement in retention trends towards the end of 2023 and the start of 2024.
總體而言,威廉·布萊爾認爲最近一個季度有些令人失望,因爲它預計有機增長有更強的跡象,尤其是在管理層提到到2023年底和2024年初留存率趨勢略有改善之後。
"We would be buyers on the weakness for two primary reasons," the analyst writes:
這位分析師寫道:“我們將成爲疲軟的買家,主要原因有兩個:
- Management's revised guidance is reasonable despite a modest implied sequential revenue uptick in the second half of the year.
- While the topline growth story remains depressed, the analyst remains positive on management's commitment to making select investments to support the platform while prioritizing profitability.
- 儘管下半年收入連續略有增長,但管理層修訂後的指導方針還是合理的。
- 儘管收入增長仍然低迷,但分析師對管理層承諾在優先考慮盈利能力的同時進行精選投資以支持該平台仍然持樂觀態度。
