Qualys Inc. (NASDAQ: QLYS), a leading provider of cloud security and compliance solutions, saw its stock plunge 5.08% in after-hours trading on Thursday, despite reporting better-than-expected Q4 2024 results.
The company reported quarterly revenue of $159.2 million, surpassing analysts' estimates of $156.2 million and representing a 10.1% year-over-year increase. Additionally, Qualys' adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.60 exceeded consensus estimates of $1.37.
However, Qualys' forward guidance for the fiscal year 2025 dampened investor sentiment. The company projected revenue growth of 7.1% for the year, a notable deceleration from the 9.6% growth achieved in 2024. Furthermore, Qualys' adjusted EPS guidance for 2025 fell short of analysts' expectations, signaling potential margin pressure.
