Alteryx (NYSE: AYX) is a data science and analytics software company, specializing in self-service analytics. While the stock has rallied by over 60% year-to-date, it saw a significant selloff over the last week, with its stock price falling by roughly 15%. Investors appear to have turned more cautious with high-growth stocks, amid macroeconomic uncertainty with the ongoing trade war and concerns that a recession could be imminent. While the company has been posting rapid growth (65% CAGR over the last 3 years), its multiples remain high, trading at 16x projected 2019 revenues. Separately, a weaker than expected outlook provided at cloud-software major Workday’s analyst day event last week is also likely to have hurt sentiment in the broader software space. Below, we take a look at how the company fared over the last few years and its outlook for 2019 and 2020.
