Tableau Software (NYSE:DATA) has seen impressive growth in recent years. Revenue grew 6% while the stock price jumped 45% in 2017. However, the company’s operating income has continued to follow a downward trajectory, which is primarily attributed to the company’s continued efforts in expanding its international reach and higher spending on research and development. Reduced upfront costs across product lines due to the introduction of subscription-based licensing, and the expectation of increased adoption of its products going forward, suggests an improved growth outlook. Additionally, the company’s efforts in keeping a check on expenses should help it boost its margins.

Currently, we have a price estimate of $66 for Tableau, which is below the current market price. We have also created an interactive dashboard which shows the forecast trends; you can modify the key value drivers to see how they impact the company’s revenues and bottom-line.

International expansion and product innovation should drive License Revenues
