Enterprise-software earnings painted a mixed picture, with NetApp and Nutanix trading sharply lower while Elastic advanced after their latest reports. NetApp posted fiscal first-quarter adjusted earnings of $1.55 a share, a penny ahead of estimates, on revenue of $1.56 billion. All-flash array revenue grew 6% to $893 million and billings rose for a seventh straight quarter. The storage vendor projected second-quarter revenue roughly in line with Wall Street but at the lower end of expectations, sending the stock down about 8% in pre-market trading. Nutanix delivered a stronger headline beat, reporting fourth-quarter revenue of $653.3 million, up 19%, and adjusted earnings of $0.37 a share. Annual recurring revenue reached $2.22 billion. Management guided full-year revenue to $2.90-$2.94 billion, above consensus, yet the shares fell more than 10% after a key subscription-sales indicator came in light and investors focused on slower contract growth. Search-AI specialist Elastic moved the other way. First-quarter revenue climbed 20% to $415 million, with cloud revenue accelerating 24%. Adjusted earnings of $0.60 a share beat by $0.18, and the company lifted its full-year sales and profit outlook. The stock jumped in late trading, helping spark a broader rebound in beaten-down software names.
