The big news slamming the company’s shares is its adjusted losses per share of 18 cents. That’s a wider per-share loss than the 14 cents reported during the same time last year. It also failed to meet Wall Street’s estimate of -17 cents per share.

That’s unfortunate as New Relic’s revenue of $203.59 million was a blessing for the tech company. It’s a 22% increase compared to the $166.34 million reported in the same period of the year prior. Plus, it also comes in above the $200.44 million in revenue that analysts’ were looking for.

New Relic’s outlook for the fiscal fourth quarter of 2022 isn’t doing NEWR stock any favors today. While revenue ranging from $204 million to $205 million is solid, its adjusted losses per share range of 19 cents to 22 cents is troubling. That’s due to Wall Street expecting -2 cents per share in the upcoming earnings report.

The fiscal 2022 outlook from New Relic is another mixed bag. Revenue guidance of $784 million to $786 million would beat analysts’ estimate of $781.36 million. However, the company’s losses per share outlook of 72 cents to 75 cents would be a massive miss next to Wall Street’s -54 cents per share estimate.

The mixed earnings report from New Relic has NEWR stock seeing heavy trading today. As a result, some 5 million shares of the company’s stock are on the move. That’s a massive surge compared to its daily average trading volume of about 912,000 shares.

NEWR stock is down 28.6% as of Wednesday morning.
