Bear's Talend Q1 Thoughts

When I first saw Talend’s report, I was very unhappy with the 39% growth, especially given the amount of money they’re still losing. But after listening to the call, I am actually considering buying more shares.

First, I was confused. Dollar based expansion rate was 124%. Enterprise customers were up to 427 (up 47%!!!) How did revenue only grow 39%???

I think it’s likely that this is another masked-growth situation. Talend has a legacy on-prem business (including Hadoop) that is slowing down, especially in North America. But Talend also has the cloud, which is growing at 100%+.. (emphasis mine)

Bear,

Do this was written on August 7. After today’s drop do you still have the same thinking?

Thanks.
