Why Is Dynatrace Stock Up More Than 25% Over The Last Month?

While the stock saw some volatility post its early-August IPO, it has rallied by close to 28% over the last month, trading at levels of over $26 currently. The recent rally is due to stronger than expected Q2 results (FY ends March 31), with adjusted EPS coming in at $0.06, about $0.02 ahead of estimates. Moreover, the company’s revenues also grew by 27% year-over-year to $129 million, driven by a growing customer base.
