Notably, the company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all the trailing four quarters, the average being 136.47%.
Let’s see how things have so far shaped up for this announcement.
Factors to Watch
Cloudera’s services business is more likely to have been affected by the lack of direct interaction with customers, either in a sales setting or at an onsite professional service setting caused by COVID-induced business uncertainties.
Meanwhile, Cloudera’s subscription business, which benefits from a recurring-revenue model, is expected to have remained a major driver in the to-be-reported quarter. Notably, the company expects subscription revenues in the range of $195-$197 million.
Additionally, Cloudera’s clientele comprises large global enterprises with strong credit profiles, thus ensuring timely payments. This bodes well for its top line in the upcoming quarterly release.
Moreover, Cloudera’s collaboration with

Cloudera is expected to have benefited from the growing adoption of Cloudera Data platform (CDP) Private Cloud, which is built for hybrid cloud, seamlessly connecting on-premises environments to public clouds with a consistent, built-in security and governance as more customers repatriate workloads from the public cloud with applications in both public and private-cloud environments.
Markedly, above 50% of its large customers started their transition to the new CPD Private Cloud service. Further, the availability of the CPD Operational database on

Azure is expected to have aided the enterprise data cloud company’s top-line growth in the to-be reported quarter.
