The company has reported a robust third quarter. However, concerns remain regarding the outlook for the fourth quarter, as indicated by the pipeline commentary. Additionally, there are challenges related to the slowing growth in the Vulnerability Management market and intense competition, which pose risks to the forecasts extending to FY25.
Qualys reported strong results for 3Q24 with an 8% increase in revenue year-over-year, accompanied by an upward revision in guidance.
Qualys' current billings witnessed a noteworthy increase of 14% year-over-year, surpassing consensus forecasts. The cautious outlook for Q4 billings, which suggests a potential decrease in new business, is deemed as a cautious yet reasonable assessment. While Q3 indicates a positive change, the reserved comments regarding the pipeline provoke inquiries about the potential for advance demand and the continued momentum of growth.
The company's robust performance in the third quarter prompted an increase in its 2025 outlook, driven by a 14% growth in current billings year-over-year, which surpassed consensus expectations by 8%. Analysts recognize Qualys for its outstanding margins and cash flow within a sector of high importance. However, it has been noted that there have been delays in hiring sales staff this year, and the newly appointed Chief Revenue Officer will require time to adjust and execute their strategy.

此外，綜合報道，$科力斯 (QLYS.US)$近期主要分析師觀點如下：
公司報告了強勁的第三季度。然而，關於第四季度展望仍有擔憂，這一點由管道評論所指示。此外，漏洞管理市場增長放緩和激烈競爭帶來的挑戰，對延續至2025財年的預測構成風險。
科力斯報告了3Q24強勁的業績，營業收入同比增長8％，並伴隨着指引的上調。
科力斯當前的賬單出現了顯着增長，同比增長14％，超過共識預測。對Q4賬單的謹慎展望表明新業務可能減少，這被認爲是一種謹慎但合理的評估。雖然第三季度顯示出積極變化，但針對管道的保守評論引發對提前需求潛力和持續增長動能的疑問。
公司在第三季度表現強勁，促使其2025年展望增加，這得益於當前賬單同比增長14％，超過共識預期8％。分析師認識到科力斯在高重要性板塊內出色的利潤率和現金流。然而，已注意到今年招聘銷售人員存在延遲，新任命的首席營收官將需要時間來調整並執行其策略。
