The one-day loss extended the stock’s year-to-date decline to 27%, one of the worst starts to a year in recent memory and lagging behind major enterprise software names.
3. Earnings on the Horizon
With its quarterly report scheduled for Feb. 25, investors are watching guidance and revenue trends closely as the recent sell-off heightens pressure on the company’s valuation.
