Shares of A10 Networks Inc. (ATEN) plunged 8.88% in pre-market trading on Wednesday, February 5th, 2025, as the company's latest earnings call highlighted ongoing macroeconomic challenges and volatility in its key service provider market segment.
Despite reporting a 5% increase in revenue for Q4 2024 and 4% growth for the full year, A10 Networks acknowledged that short-term quarter-to-quarter volatility in service provider spending patterns may persist. The company's CEO, Dhrupad Trivedi, stated that while they expect continued growth with enterprise customers, the "service provider marketplace continues to normalize" amid macroeconomic headwinds.
Additionally, concerns were raised about potential impacts from tariff hikes and trade tensions, which could put pressure on sales prices in certain regions. Trivedi noted that A10 Networks has deliberately chosen not to operate in the Chinese market, mitigating some exposure but leaving other regions susceptible to tariff-related challenges.
