SentinelOne (NYSE:S) stock isn’t doing so hot on Friday following the release of the company’s earnings report for its first quarter of fiscal 2024.
The bad news for S stock comes from the company’s outlook in this earnings report. That includes its estimate of $141 million in revenue for the second quarter of the fiscal year. That’s nowhere close to the $151.41 million of revenue that Wall Street is expecting for the quarter.
Additionally, SentinelOne’s guidance includes its expectation for revenue to range from $590 million to $600 million in fiscal 2024. Yet again, that would have it soundly missing analysts’ revenue estimate of $638.44 million for the year.
Q1 Earnings Also Hit S Stock
Weak revenue is a trend for SentinelOne today with its Q1 earnings including $133.4 million. That failed to reach the $136.61 million in revenue that Wall Street was expecting. Even if it’s a 70% increase year-over-year from $78.3 million.
Alongside that revenue is the company’s adjusted earnings per share of -15 cents for the first quarter of the fiscal year. This is the one bright spot for holders of S stock as it beat out analysts’ -17 cents per share estimate. It’s also better than the -21 cents per share from the same time period last year.
Dave Bernhardt, chief financial officer of SentinelOne, said the following in the earnings report:
“Even in a tough quarter, we achieved our seventh consecutive quarter of over 25 percentage points year-over-year improvement in operating margins.” We’re committed to selectively investing in key growth areas, managing our cost structure, and achieving our profitability targets.”
S stock is down 36.6% as of Friday morning.
